Central venous blood gas and acid-base status in conscious dogs and cats

To determine the reference level of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) and clinical efficacy of central venous blood gas analysis, partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide, pH, oxygen saturation, base excess (B.E.) and HCO₃ concentration were compared between simultaneously obtained central venous and arterial blood samples from conscious healthy 6 dogs and 5 cats. Comparisons between arteriovenous samples were performed by a paired t-test and Bland-Altman analysis. Between arteriovenous samples, B.E. showed good agreement, but there were significant differences in other parameters in the dogs, and no good agreement was detected in cats. The ScvO₂ in dogs and cats were 82.3 ± 3.5 and 62.4 ± 13.5%, respectively. Central venous blood gas analysis is indispensable, especially in cats.     

Protective effect of butylated hydroxylanisole against hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in primary cultured mouse hepatocytes

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic phenolic compound consisting of a mixture of two isomeric organic compounds: 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. We examined the effect of BHA against hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced apoptosis in primary cultured mouse hepatocytes. Cell viability was significantly decreased by H₂O₂ in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, H₂O₂ treatment increased Bax, decreased Bcl-2, and promoted PARP-1 cleavage in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment with BHA before exposure to H₂O₂ significantly attenuated the H₂O₂-induced decrease of cell viability. H₂O₂ exposure resulted in an increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation that was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with BHA or N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC, an ROS scavenger). H₂O₂-induced decrease of cell viability was also attenuated by pretreatment with BHA and NAC. Furthermore, H₂O₂-induced increase of Bax, decrease of Bcl-2, and PARP-1 cleavage was also inhibited by BHA. Taken together, results of this investigation demonstrated that BHA protects primary cultured mouse hepatocytes against H₂O₂-induced apoptosis by inhibiting ROS generation.     

基于BiLSTM-GRU融合网络的稻虾养殖溶解氧含量预测

在稻虾养殖模式中溶解氧含量(浓度)是养殖水体的重要指标之一,其直接影响小龙虾的摄食量和新陈代谢,因此在养殖过程中精准预测溶解氧含量至关重要。针对稻虾养殖中溶解氧含量变化复杂,难以快速准确预测的问题,提出了BiLSTM-GRU融合神经网络预测模型。为了保证精准预测,首先对传感器进行了清洗校准,并根据偏移量对历史数据进行了修正。在此基础上构建了基于BiLSTM和GRU的融合神经网络训练模型,BiLSTM提取更多特征因子,GRU实现快速预测,快速准确预测溶解氧含量变化。为了使监测预测性能更优,对不同采样周期下的资源损耗及预测模型性能进行综合对比分析,确定了传感器数据最优采样周期为30 min。进一步与LSTM、GRU、BiLSTM以及BiGRU模型对比,表明本文提出的BiLSTM-GRU融合神经网络模型的预测效果更好,其平均绝对误差、均方根误差和决定系数分别为0.275 9 mg/L、0.616 0 mg/L和0.954 7,比传统的LSTM神经网络模型分别高25.14%、13.25%和2.22%。

Effects of grape seed extract on meat color and premature browning of meat patties in high-oxygen packaging

This study investigated the effects of grape seed extract (GSE) on fresh and cooked meat color and premature browning (PMB) in ground meat patties (85% beef and 15% pork back fat) packaged under high-oxygen modified atmospheres (HiOx-MAP).  The GSE was added to patties at concentrations of 0, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 g kg^–1.  This study evaluated the surface color, pH, lipid oxidation, and total viable counts (TVC) of raw patties, and the internal color and pH of patties cooked to a temperature of 66 or 71°C over 10-day storage at 4°C.  Compared with the control (0 g kg^–1 GSE), GSE improved the color stability (P<0.05) and significantly inhibited the lipid and myoglobin oxidation of raw patties from day 5 to 10, but GSE had no effect (P>0.05) on TVC.  Patties containing 0.50 and 0.75 g kg^–1 GSE cooked to 66°C exhibited greater (P<0.05) interior redness than the control and reduced the PMB of cooked patties in the late storage stage.  These results suggested that 0.50 and 0.75 g kg^–1 GSE can improve fresh meat color and minimize PMB of HiOx-MAP patties.     

外源Ca2+对模拟酸雨胁迫下不同抗性水稻根系氮吸收的影响

为减轻酸雨对植物生长的不利影响,探究Ca²⁺对植物耐酸性的调控机制,本文以五优308（抗性种）和南粳9108（敏感种）两个品种水稻为研究对象,研究外源Ca²⁺对低强度酸雨（pH 4.5,SAR1）和高强度酸雨（pH 3.0,SAR2）胁迫下水稻幼苗根系生长、氮（NO₃^-和NH₄⁺）含量及吸收速率、ATP含量、质膜H⁺-ATPase活性及其磷酸化水平的影响。结果表明： SAR1处理下两个品种水稻的H⁺-ATPase磷酸化水平和活性增加（P<0.05）,促进ATP分解,增加供能,使NH₄⁺吸收增加（P<0.05）,但NH₄⁺仅在南粳9108根中过量积累（P<0.05）,引起铵毒,造成根系生长抑制,五优308中NO₃^-和NH₄⁺含量及其生长均未受影响（P>0.05）。SAR2处理下,两个品种水稻质膜H⁺-ATPase活性和NO₃^-、NH₄⁺吸收速率及含量均降低,根系生长受到抑制（P<0.05）,其中南粳9108降幅大于五优308。Ca²⁺+SAR1处理组两个品种水稻根系质膜H⁺-ATPase磷酸化水平和活性、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺吸收和积累以及根系生长均与对照（叶喷去离子水处理）差异不显著（P>0.05）。Ca²⁺+SAR2处理下H⁺-ATPase活性、NO₃^-和NH₄⁺吸收和积累以及根系生长低于对照（P<0.05）,但显著高于单一SAR2处理（P<0.05）。研究表明,外源Ca²⁺可有效保障模拟酸雨（pH 4.5、3.0）下质膜H⁺-ATPase磷酸化水平,促进H⁺-ATPase活性升高,缓解酸雨对NO₃^-和NH₄⁺吸收的抑制,维持根系生长。其中,外源Ca²⁺对相同强度模拟酸雨胁迫下五优308的调控效果优于南粳9108,说明外源Ca²⁺对酸雨胁迫下植物氮吸收的影响不仅受酸雨强度限制,而且也会受品种影响。本实验中,外源Ca²⁺对不同强度酸雨胁迫下不同抗性水稻氮吸收均有调控效果,合理利用外源Ca²⁺将有助于调节酸雨区农作物的营养吸收,缓解酸雨对农业生产的危害。     

硅溶胶-APP复合阻燃剂对辐射松木材阻燃的研究

为了研究硅溶胶和聚磷酸铵（APP）复配后的阻燃性能,真空常压方法下分别用APP、硅溶胶以及两者复配后的阻燃剂浸渍辐射松木材,分析各改性材的增重、增容率以及热解燃烧性能,并用扫描电镜（SEM）分析改性后的残炭形貌。研究结果表明：氧指数由高到低是APP-硅溶胶、APP、硅溶胶和素材;由APP处理和APP-硅溶胶联合处理材的初始分解温度、最大失重率温度均提前,残炭率提高,硅溶胶处理材的初始分解温度和最大失重率与素材相近。经锥形量热测试结果显示：由APP处理和APP-硅溶胶联合处理材的热释放速率峰值分别比素材降低了232.8和150.3 kW·m^-2,总释放热降低29.63和17.98 MJ·m^-2,而由硅溶胶处理的效果不明显。与其他3种试材相比,硅溶胶处理材的COP最低,说明硅溶胶对CO的生成有抑制作用。处理材的火灾蔓延指数（FGI）均比素材降低;扫描电镜显示,经浸渍处理过的残炭结构更加致密,表面更加光滑。结果说明了硅溶胶的加入可以降低CO毒气的生成,APP的加入使木材的阻燃性达到了难燃级。
