基于田块尺度的农田土壤重金属污染评价及来源解析

基于田块尺度采集农田表层土壤样品120件,采用绝对因子分析/多元线性回归（APCS-MLR）受体模型与地统计学分析对研究区域内As、Cd、Cu、Cr、Mn、Ni、Pb和Zn这8种重金属污染空间分布特征及来源进行解析,利用地累积指数和潜在生态风险指数法评价土壤生态风险。研究结果表明：研究区表层土壤中8种重金属含量差异较大,As、Cd和Cr点位超标率分别为61.83%、90.83%和92.52%,土壤重金属Zn、Cu、Cr和Ni主要以残渣态存在（占比在80%以上）。土壤中Cd、Cr和Cu含量空间分布格局呈东南部较高、中部次之、西北部较低的趋势,而Mn、Ni、Pb和Zn含量的空间分布格局与此相反。APCS-MLR模型表明研究区域土壤重金属As、Cr、Cu和Ni的来源以自然源为主,占比分别为39.34%、47.32%、44.53%和50.23%; Pb、Zn的来源以工业活动源和交通源为主,占比分别为31.93%、30.53%和23.36%、22.17%; Cd的农业活动源占比为53.63%。土壤pH与有效态As、Cd、Cu和Ni含量呈极显著负相关性（P<0.01）,土壤有机质与有效态As、Cd和Cr呈极显著负相关性（P<0.01）。地累积指数显示土壤Cr总体处于中、重度污染水平,其次是Cd;生态危害指数也表明Cr和Cd是主要生态危害元素,潜在生态危害系数变化范围分别为5.20~41.12和11.56~113.35。总体来看,研究区域Cr和Cd污染较为严重,存在潜在风险,应采取安全利用和修复等措施,降低其风险水平。

Short-term survival and mortality rates in a retrospective study of colic in 1588 Danish horses

Background

Outcomes of colic treatment are of great interest to clinicians, horse owners and insurers. One commonly used criterion of success is the overall short-term survival rate. This is used as to compare treatments and to measure quality of veterinary care, but may be biased by demographic or social factors such as attitudes towards animal suffering and euthanasia. The aims of this study were to 1) describe and analyse characteristics in horses with signs of colic referred to the University Hospital for Large Animals (UHLA), University of Copenhagen, Denmark over a 10-year period and 2) to compare these rates with those published in other comparable studies.

Results

The overall survival rate for colic horses over the 10-year study period was 68% (confidence intervals (CI): 66–71%; 1087/1588). In the medical group, 1093 horses, short-term survival was 87% (CI: 85–89%). Thirty one % of referred horses were given diagnoses requiring surgical intervention (CI: 29–33%). In this group 32% of the horses were euthanized before surgery (CI: 28–36%; 159/495). Of the surgical cases 27% (CI: 23-31%) were euthanized or died during surgery. Of the horses that recovered from surgery 25% died or were euthanized (CI: 19–32%; 48/189), while 75% survived to discharge (CI: 68–81%).

Conclusions

The short term survival rates of Danish horses with colic were similar or lower to those reported from other countries. Apart from variability of veterinary care, attitudes towards euthanasia vary among the countries, which may bias the outcomes. This study indicates that qualitative interview studies on owners’ attitudes towards animal suffering and euthanasia need to be conducted. Our opinion is that survival rates are not valid as sole indicators of quality of care in colic treatment due to selection bias. If the survival rates are to be compared between hospitals, techniques or surgeons, prospective studies including mutually agreed-on disease severity scores and a predefined set of reasons for euthanasia are needed.     

Temporal associations between low body condition,lameness and milk yield in a UK dairy herd

Previous work has hypothesised that cows in low body condition become lame. We tested this in a prospective longitudinal study. Body condition score (BCS), causes of lameness and milk yield were collected from a 600-cow herd over 44-months. Mixed effect binomial models and a continuous outcome model were used to investigate the associations between lameness, BCS and milk yield. In total, 14,320 risk periods were obtained from 1137 cows. There were 1510 lameness treatments: the most common causes of lameness were sole ulcer (SU) (39%), sole haemorrhage (SH) (13%), digital dermatitis (DD) (10%) and white line disease (WLD) (8%). These varied by year and year quarter. Body condition was scored at 60-day intervals. BCS ranged from 1 to 5 with a mean of 2.5, scores were higher in very early lactation but varied widely throughout lactation; approximately 45% of scores were <2.5. The key finding was that BCS < 2.5 was associated with an increased risk of treatment for lameness in the following 0–2 months and >2–4 months for all causes of lameness and also specifically for SU/WLD lameness. BCS < 2.5 was associated with an increased risk of treatment for SH in the following 0–2 months but not >2–4 months. There was no such association with DD. All lameness, SU/WLD, SH and DD were significantly more likely to occur in cows that had been lame previously, but the effect of BCS was present even when all repeat cases of lameness were excluded from the analysis. Milk yield was significantly higher and fell in the month before treatment in cows lame with SU/WLD but it was not significantly higher for cows that were treated for DD compared with non-lame cows. These findings support the hypothesis that low BCS contributes to the development of horn related claw lameness but not infectious claw diseases in dairy cows. One link between low BCS and lameness is a thin digital cushion which has been proposed as a trigger for claw horn disease. Cows with BCS 2 produced more milk than cows with BCS 2.5, however, this was only approximately 100 kg difference in yield over a 305-day lactation. Given the increased risk of lameness in cows with BCS 2, the direct costs of lameness and the small variability in milk yield by BCS, preventing cows from falling to BCS < 2.5 would improve cow welfare and be economically beneficial.

Increased ectopic fat cells in the longitudinal muscularis layer of the oviduct isthmus in obese Japanese Black cows

In obese humans, mesenchymal stem cells differentiate to become ectopic fat cells in muscles. These ectopic fat cells inhibit the contraction of vascular smooth muscles. Stem cells have been recently identified in the human oviduct, a structure important in reproduction. We therefore investigated the number of Oil Red O (ORO)‐positive cells in the oviducts of control Japanese Black cows (n = 6; body condition score [BCS], 3.0 on a 5‐point scale) compared to those with diet‐induced obesity (n = 5; BCS, 4.0). We stained the ampulla and isthmus collected on the second day after ovulation with ORO and then counted the positive cells in each layer in 10 cross‐sections of the ampulla or isthmus. The obese group (23.4 ± 3.4 in the 10 sections) had larger numbers of ORO‐positive cells in the longitudinal muscularis of the isthmus (P < 0.05) than did the control group (15.0 ± 2.4). ORO‐positive cells were also observed in all other layers of the isthmus and ampulla; however, the number of cells in these layers did not differ significantly between obese cows and controls. Whether this observed increase in ORO‐positive cells in the oviducts of obese cows affects their reproduction warrants further study.

标记辅助导入中不同背景选择方法的比较

模拟比较了随机选择、标记值选择及BLUP选择3种背景选择方法在标记辅助导入(利用标记辅助将供体群中的一个有利QTL等位基因导入到受体群中)的选择效果。前景选择是借助与目标基因连锁的两侧标记对目标基因进行间接选择。研究结果表明,在背景选择中,利用标记值选择能使受体基因组很快得到恢复,2个世代的回交就能恢复90%以上,4个世代的回交就能完全恢复。利用BLUP选择虽然不能使受体基因组迅速全部恢复,但能使特定的背景性状得到最大的遗传进展。     

A study to evaluate buprenorphine at 40 μg kg(-1) compared to 20 μg kg(-1) as a post-operative analgesic in the dog

ObjectiveComparison of the analgesic effect of buprenorphine at 20 or 40 μg kg^?1.Study designAn investigator ‘blinded’, randomised study.AnimalsTwenty six dogs presented for ovariohysterectomy.MethodsDogs were premedicated intramuscularly with acepromazine 0.03 mg kg^?1 and buprenorphine at either 20 (B20, n = 12) or 40 μg kg^?1 (B40, n= 14) followed by anaesthetic induction with propofol and maintenance with isoflurane. During anaesthesia non invasive blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, inspired and expired volatile agent, end-tidal carbon dioxide and ECG were recorded. Pain and sedation were assessed using interactive VAS scores; mechanical nociceptive thresholds were measured at the wound and hindlimb - all were assessed before and up to 22 hours after administration. Carprofen was used for rescue analgesia.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups for any of the parameters examined. Rescue analgesia was required around 5 hours after administration of buprenorphine in a significant number of animals. Sedation was good preoperatively and scores decreased over time postoperatively. Hock thresholds did not change over time; wound thresholds decreased significantly compared to the baseline value from 3 hours onwards.ConclusionsAdministration of buprenorphine at either 20 or 40 μg kg^?1 IM with acepromazine provided good pre-operative sedation. Cardiovascular and respiratory values remained within clinically acceptable limits during anaesthesia. There was no evidence that increasing dose increased adverse events that may be associated with opioid administration (e.g. bradycardia and respiratory depression).Clinical relevanceIncreasing the dose of buprenorphine from 20 to 40 μg kg^?1 did not provide any benefits with respect to analgesia after ovariohysterectomy as assessed using the VAS scoring system.
