氧气对低地鸡蛋胚胎死亡和孵化率的影响

通过模拟常压低氧和高海拔增氧孵化试验，研究了氧气浓度对低地良种鸡蛋胚胎死亡率和孵化率的影响。死亡胚胎的分布用2阶段增长模型分析。模拟2900m海拔常压低氧孵化增加了胚胎后期死亡率，使孵化率降低到接近2900m海拔实际孵化率水平；2900m海拔全期增氧孵化可以有效降低前期和后期胚胎死亡率，大大提高孵化率；阶段增氧孵化也能不同程度提高孵化率，改变胚胎死亡分布，其中效果最好的为前期增氧组。结果说明低氧是影响2900m海拔鸡蛋孵化的最主要因素。     

Partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 sampled via an intranasal catheter as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO2 in dogs

Objective: To demonstrate correlation and clinical usefulness of the partial pressure of end‐tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) measurement by nasal catheter placement in sedated dogs with and without concurrent nasal oxygen administration as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO₂ (PaCO₂). Design: Prospective, cross‐over trial. Setting: University of Saskatchewan veterinary research laboratory. Animals: Six cross‐breed dogs with a mean (±SD) weight of 29.1±4.03 kg. Interventions: All dogs were sedated with 5 μg/kg medetomidine intravenously (IV) and an arterial catheter was placed in a dorsal pedal artery for removal of blood for gas analysis. A nasal catheter was placed in the ventral meatus and connected to a capnometer for ETCO₂ measurements in all dogs. Dogs receiving supplemental nasal oxygen had a second nasal catheter placed in the contralateral naris. Measurements and main results: In the group without nasal oxygen supplementation, the ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.20 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?5.79, 1.39 mmHg. In the group receiving oxygen supplementation, ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.46 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?8.42, 3.50 mmHg. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that ETCO₂ monitoring via a nasal catheter provides a clinically acceptable substitute to arterial blood gas analysis as a means of monitoring ventilation in healthy, sedated dogs. The limits of agreement were within acceptable limits with and without concurrent insufflation of oxygen.     

活性氧(ROS)对小鼠早期胚胎胚细胞分裂的影响

在体外CZB培养的不同时期添加过氧化氢(2.1μmol/L),发育至囊胚阶段,制作胚胎标本,观察其囊胚发育率、胚细胞数和分裂相数。结果显示:0~12 h组和0~72 h组的胚胎发育率显著低于其他几组(P<0.05),对照组、12~24 h组、24~36 h组、36~48 h组之间均差异不显著(P>0.05);各组之间的胚细胞数和分裂指数均无显著差异。说明胚胎在体外培养时,2细胞期胚胎对外源性H2O2最敏感,也最容易发生发育阻滞。但是经H2O2处理之后,度过2细胞期发育阻滞的胚胎能在以后的发育中发生补偿性生长,其胚细胞数和分裂指数都和体外正常发育的胚胎没有差异。     

白菜耐光氧化能力鉴定及其与活性氧代谢关系的研究

 采用人工光氧化技术对30个常见白菜栽培品种进行光氧化处理, 以总叶绿素存留率作为评价指标, 利用系统聚类分析将供试品种划分为5个级别(1～5级) 。其中耐光氧化能力强的品种有青优4号、暑绿、抗热605、绿扬青、矮抗6号、华王; 不耐光氧化的品种有四倍体矮脚黄、绿星。在此基础上, 以耐光氧化品种抗热605与不耐光氧化品种绿星为材料, 研究了光氧化过程中活性氧代谢的特征。结果表明:在光氧化条件下, 白菜叶片内的抗氧化酶SOD、POD、CAT、APX活性受光氧化诱导升高, 但光氧化敏感性品种绿星的酶活性很快下降, 耐光氧化品种抗热605的酶活持续保持在较高的水平。因此, 绿星的O₂·生成速率、H₂O₂ 含量及MDA的积累量均高于抗热605, 最终导致品种绿星在光氧化下总叶绿素存留率低。表明抗热605植株内较高的抗氧化酶活性对提高耐光氧化能力起了重要作用。     

秋季叶面喷施IAA、6-BA或GA_3对草莓植株的影响

为了探讨植物生长调节剂对秋季草莓苗植株质量的调控,以法国3号草莓(Fragaria×ananassa Duch cv.French3)为材料,研究秋季叶面喷施50mg/L IAA、50mg/L6-BA或25mg/L GA3对草莓苗叶片光合作用、活性氧代谢和植株质量的影响。结果表明,晚秋叶面喷施这3种植物生长调节剂显著提高了叶片的净光合速率和叶绿素a、b含量,提高了SOD和CAT酶活性,同时降低了MDA和活性氧含量。另外,这3种植物生长调节剂处理显著增加草莓茎和根系的干重,使根冠比增加,IAA和6-BA处理还显著提高平均单株花量。因此,秋季叶面喷施50mg/LIAA和50mg/L6-BA可提高草莓苗植株质量。     

大黄鱼鱼苗耗氧率和窒息点的研究

为了给大黄鱼的生理学及大黄鱼养殖的放养密度、水质管理、饵料利用以及活鱼运输等提供技术参考依据,对大黄鱼基础代谢水平进行测定。在3种水温(14,20,25℃)条件下测定大黄鱼[Pseudosciaena crocea(Richardson)]鱼苗(体长7.8~9.1 cm,体重6.61~8.85 g)的耗氧状况,据此计算出大黄鱼鱼苗的耗氧率,及瞬时耗氧率与溶氧量及水温的相关关系。结果表明,大黄鱼鱼苗耐低氧能力差,其耗氧率和窒息点溶解氧水平都随水温的升高而增大,14℃时两者为2.833μg/(g.min)和1.42 mg/L;25℃时两者为4.677μg/(g.min)和2.27 mg/L。大黄鱼鱼苗的瞬时耗氧率在其呼吸生理的某个时段出现特殊现象:当水中溶解氧下降至其浮头点和昏迷临界点之间时,瞬时耗氧率会在一个较短的时间范围内呈现跳跃式提升,这种现象在已有的鱼类耗氧率研究中从未出现过。此后的瞬时耗氧率急速下降至最低点,其呼吸类型可归属于逆向型。     

日粮镁对肉仔鸡腿肌中活性氧产量的影响

本试验目的是研究日粮镁水平对肉仔鸡腿肌中活性氧(reactive oxygen species , ROS)产量的影响。96只AA肉仔鸡随机分配到低镁日粮组和对照组,每组6个重复,每个重复8只鸡,分别喂以镁含量1 .2 g/kg或2 .4 g/kg的日粮。与对照组相比,低镁组肉仔鸡腿肌中谷胱甘肽(glutathione , GSH)的含量降低了27 %(P<0 .01) ,丙二醛(malondialdehyde, MDA)的含量提高了40 %(P<0 .01)。采食低镁日粮的肉仔鸡腿肌匀浆液的ROS信号峰的高度显著高于对照组(P<0 .01)。对照组腿肌镁的浓度(30 .27 mg/kg)显著高于低镁组腿肌镁的浓度(27 .40 mg/kg)。腿肌中铁、钙的含量在两组之间差异不显著(P>0 .05)。与对照组相比,低镁组腿肌线粒体复合酶Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ的活性分别提高了28 %、23 %(P<0 .01)、35 %(P<0 .01)和30 %,线粒体复合酶Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ的活性与ROS产量之间呈显著的负相关关系(P<0 .05)。除C18∶2的含量显著高于对照组外,其他多不饱和脂肪酸含量在两组之间没有差异。本试验结果表明低镁日粮实质性地提高肉仔鸡腿肌中ROS的产量,低镁日粮降低腿肌中镁的浓度,诱导了线粒体呼吸链酶活性升高,从而提高了ROS的产量。     

Changes in antioxidative system and membrane damage of lettuce in response to salinity and boron toxicity

Individual and combined effects of salinity and B toxicity on growth, the major antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT; ascorbate peroxidase, APX) activities, ascorbic acid, proline, and H₂O₂ accumulation, and stomatal resistance (SR), malondialdehyde (MDA), membrane permeability (MP) and the concentrations of sodium (Na), chloride (Cl) and boron (B) of lettuce were investigated. Boron toxicity and salinity reduced growth of lettuce plants. Under B toxicity, B concentration of the plants was increased, but in the presence of NaCl, the concentration of B was significantly reduced. Sodium and Cl concentrations were increased in B + NaCl and NaCl treatments. Membrane damage was more pronounced in NaCl and B + NaCl treatments. Stomatal resistance of the plants was significantly increased by salinity treatments. The accumulation of proline and ascorbic acid was the highest in the B + NaCl treatment. In general, stress conditions significantly increased H₂O₂ and antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT and APX) activities. The present results indicate that stomatal closure is an important response of lettuce against NaCl and B + NaCl stress. Furthermore NaCl and B + NaCl toxicity-induced oxidative stress in lettuce resulting in lipid peroxidation and membrane damage. Increased antioxidant enzyme activities and also accumulation of ascorbic acid and proline are involved in order to overcome B- and NaCl-induced oxidative stress.     

Effects of bilirubin on oxygen free radicals and caspase-3 in acute lung injury rats

AIM:To investigate the mechanisms by which bilirubin inhibits acute lung injury (ALI). METHODS:30 female Wistar rats were divided into normal group, ALI group and bilirubin treatment group. ALI was induced by intravenous injection of LPS. The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung as well as the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs were investigated. RESULTS:(1) The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung homogenate and the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs in ALI group increased compared with those in normal group (P<0.05). (2) The contents of OH^-, H₂O₂ and O₂^· in the lung homogenate and the expression of caspase-3 in the lungs in bilirubin treatment group increased compared with those in normal group, but decreased compared with those in ALI models (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:(1) Bilirubin was shown to be able to ameliorate apoptosis in ALI rats. (2) The increase in the contents of OH^-, H₂O₂, O₂^· in ALI group indicated the development of oxidative lung injury, which was ameliorated by bilirubin. (3) Expression of caspase-3 confirmed that the model made by LPS was associated with apoptosis, which was reduced by bilirubin.
