Poisoning of horses by bamboo, Bambusa vulgaris

The clinical and pathological aspects of a neurological disease observed in 16 horses in Pará, Amazonia, Brazil, are presented. The symptoms were mainly motor incoordination, paresis of the tongue, somnolence, difficulties in apprehension, chewing and swallowing of food, as well as instability and standing with abducted members. The clinical course was subacute or chronic and in most cases was not fatal. Postmortem examination performed in one already very sick, euthanized animal, did not show significant macroscopic lesions; histopathological examination revealed slight edema and degenerative alterations of a few axons, mainly in the medulla oblongata. In all pastures where horses were affected, plenty of bamboo had been eaten, probably because of scarcity of pasture. By feeding large amounts of fresh bamboo leaves of this region, in different growing stages, to three horses (horse 1, 47 g/kg/d for 30 days; horse 2, 10 g/kg/d for 60 days; horse 3, 18 g/kg on the first day, and 31 g/kg/d for 6 more days)—the animals ate the leaves unassisted—it was possible to reproduce nervous symptoms essentially identical to those observed in the natural disease 24 to 72 hours after the first feeding of the plant. In spite of continuous administration of the plant, intensity of the clinical signs did not increase. Based on field observations and comparison of the clinical and pathological pictures seen in the natural and experimental disease, the described illness can be concluded to be caused by the ingestion of large amounts of the leaves of Bambusa vulgaris f. vulgaris.     

福建省香蕉枯萎病菌硝酸盐营养突变体的营养体亲和性测定

 Fourteen strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense were induced to produce 146 nitrate-nonutilizing(nit) mutants on a chlorate-containing medium. Among them, there were 117 nit1 mutants(80.14%), 17 nit3 mutants(11.64%) and 12 nitM mutants(8.22%). These strains were divided into two vegetative compatibility groups(VCGs) by the vegetative compatibility tests. Twelve strains of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense from Musa AAA belonged to VCG1, two trains from Musa ABB belonged to VCG2.     

香蕉枯萎病拮抗菌的筛选及其作用机制研究

通过分离和筛选,从香蕉园或者其他果园的土壤中分离获得13株对香蕉枯萎病菌(Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense)具有抑制作用的拮抗菌,并对部分拮抗菌抑制病菌菌丝生长和孢子萌发进行了试验。结果表明,拮抗菌株d4、d5、B3和p发酵液对香蕉枯萎病菌生长具有显著的抑制作用,在平板上产生的抑菌圈直径为21.75～34.75 mm,抑菌效果具有持续稳定性,对孢子萌发的抑制率为90.49%～97.18%;拮抗菌对病菌的作用表现为对菌丝的消融、菌丝细胞的泡囊化、抑制病菌分生孢子的萌发、孢子芽管的扭曲。     

轮纹病菌侵染对不同抗性苹果品种膜透性及防御酶的影响

对轮纹病菌Botryosphaeria berengriana f.sp.piricola侵染3个不同抗性苹果品种枝条后的细胞膜透性及防御酶系的变化进行了测定,以分析其与抗性的关系。结果表明,接种后38天内,3个品种电解质渗出率均有先升后降的趋势,鸡冠、国光和富士电解质渗出率变化的峰值分别为8.1%、12.2%和18.4%,抗病品种鸡冠的变化明显低于感病品种富士和国光。接种后35天内,苯丙氨酸解氨酶、超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶和多酚氧化酶也表现为先升后降的趋势,且抗病品种的峰值出现较晚。抗病品种鸡冠的苯丙氨酸解氨酶、超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化物酶活性变化峰值分别为234、50.88U·g-1FW·h-1和14.22U·g-1FW·min-1,高于国光和富士,而多酚氧化酶活性变化的峰值为37.78U·g-1FW·min-1,低于感病品种国光和富士。

禽类性别决定与分化相关基因的研究进展

禽类的性别决定机制迄今尚无定论,目前较为公认的有以下几种假说:一是W染色体上携带性别决定基因(类似于哺乳动物的SRY)决定着个体的雌性化发育;二是Z染色体上某些基因的过表达(即不受剂量补偿效应限制)引发了个体的雄性化发育;三是前2种机制共同作用。已知禽类的性别决定候选基因有W染色体上的FET1、ASW和Z染色体上的DMRT1基因。此外,常染色体上的许多基因也参与禽类的性别决定和分化过程,如SOX9,AMH,cFOXL,CYP19A1等。     

提高益生素作用效果的研究进展

益生素具有无污染、无毒副、无药残等特点,是抗生素的良好替代品。但益生素作用效果还存在许多争议,加强其作用效果的研究迫在眉睫。目前,人们主要通过高效菌株的选育、复合益生素的开发与益生素有协同作用的饲料添加剂研究来提高益生素的功效。寻求与益生素有协同作用的饲料添加剂被认为是最有效的方法,而广泛的应用于生产实践中。     

氨基酸代谢与免疫反应

炎症反应和感染性疾病均可改变机体的蛋白质和氨基酸需要,导致动物采食量下降、生长受阻和肌肉消耗,这主要是因细胞因子(如IL-1、IL-6、TNF-α)的增加而改变了蛋白质代谢。在免疫反应中,氨基酸将发生重分配并主要用于合成参与炎症和免疫反应的蛋白质以及参与免疫细胞增殖和其他免疫反应的重要化合物。免疫系统的活化可干扰机体正常的生理反应并导致对某些特殊氨基酸的需要量增加。本文主要综述了某些特殊氨基酸(通常是必需氨基酸)在免疫反应中的重要作用。
