Spatio-temporal distribution of sergestid shrimp Acetes intermedius in the coastal waters of southwestern Taiwan

SUMMARY: Spatio-temporal variation of the sergestid shrimp Acetes intermedius in the coastal waters of southwestern Taiwan was investigated based on 1546 samples collected by 13 commercial fishing vessels from July to October 1996. Adult sergestid shrimp started a down-estuary migration with the increased river discharge associated with heavy summer rainfall. Fishing season for this species was to commence after that. In July, the shrimp stock was found on the shallow continental shelf off Tungkang and Fangshan. They mainly aggregated in Kaoping Canyon off Tungkang during August and September occurring at very high densities. In October, the shrimp returned to the coastal waters off Tungkang and Fangshan at lower densities. The heavy rainfall is a factor that triggers the shrimps to make a down-estuary migration that could reduce competition for food between adults and their offspring during the period of high river discharge. When the northeast monsoon prevailed, the sergestid shrimp moved back to the estuaries and the fishing season was terminated.     

肝脏与胰腺发育的分子调控

肝脏和胰腺均由内胚层发育而来的消化器官,它们广泛地参与糖代谢、脂类代谢和蛋白质代谢.肝脏和胰腺的发育是一个动态连续的过程,并受到多种信号途径及转录因子的调控.基于上述特点和显著的医用价值,笔者对肝脏和胰腺发育过程中的分子作用机理作了系统地阐述,这将不仅有助于理解与肝脏和胰腺相关疾病的发病机理.同时也为有效地指导相关疾病的预防及治疗工作提供分子理论基础.     

Liver biopsy techniques for adult horses and neonatal foals to assess copper status

Objective To evaluate standing, percutaneous, ultrasound-guided, transthoracic liver biopsy in mares, and transabdominal, laparoscopically-guided, liver biopsy under general anaesthesia in foals, as techniques for obtaining tissue for assessment of copper status. The techniques were evaluated with respect to ease of use and effect on the animal.
Procedure Twenty of 24 Thoroughbred mares and 21 of their foals were biopsied. The animals were part of a larger study of the effect of copper supplementation on copper status and the prevalence of developmental orthopaedic disease. Livers were also collected from unrelated horses and sampled to investigate the variability in the distribution of copper in liver tissue.
Result The biopsy technique caused no lasting effect on the mares, but there was an increased risk of viscus penetration associated with taking multiple biopsy cores. The use of ultrasonography to scan the target area for the liver identified four cases that were not appropriate candidates for liver biopsy, because of large intestine being located in the biopsy area. In the foals there were no serious postoperative adverse effects, nor was there any evidence of problems caused by the procedure when the abdomen was examined post-mortem at 5 months of age. In livers collected to investigate the variability of copper concentration, copper appeared to be relatively evenly distributed through the liver.
Conclusion Standing, percutaneous, ultrasound-guided, transthoracic liver biopsy in mares, and transabdominal, laparoscopically-guided, liver biopsy under general anaesthesia in foals are convenient procedures for obtaining liver tissue for assessing copper status in horses. The use of ultrasound to identify liver tissue is recommended, especially in older mares.     

高铜对雏鸭肝氧化状态及肝细胞凋亡的影响

将360只1日龄天府肉鸭随机分为6组，分别以对照日粮（Cu8mg／kg）和高铜日粮（Ⅰ组：Cu100mg／kg；Ⅱ组：Cu200mg／kg；Ⅲ组：Cu400mg／kg；Ⅳ组：Cu600mg／kg；Ⅴ组：Cu800mg／kg）饲喂6周，研究日粮铜水平对雏鸭肝氧化状态及肝细胞凋亡的影响。结果显示，与对照组比较，Ⅳ组和Ⅴ组肝铜锌SOD和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性降低（P〈50．01），Ⅲ组、Ⅳ组和Ⅴ组羟自由基和丙二醛含量显著升高（P〈0．01），Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组肝铜锌SOD和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性升高（P〈0．01）。高铜组肝细胞凋亡率随日粮铜水平的升高而增加。表明，日粮铜水平为400mg／kg以上时可引起肝抗氧化功能降低和肝细胞凋亡率升高。     

超饲诱导水禽肥肝形成的机制

一些蹼足类动物(如鹅和鸭)在长期的进化过程中,因适应性需要,肝脏具有沉积大量脂肪形成肥肝的遗传特性。生产上利用鹅和鸭的这种特殊遗传特性,进行短期人工强制超饲(填饲),形成营养因素所致的可逆的、获得性的脂肪变性,即鹅(鸭)肥肝。本文综述了肥肝形成的过程及可能的机制,同时提出了有待研究的问题。     

产蛋前期和产蛋高峰期鸡全基因组甲基化差异及其对肝脏转录组影响的研究

旨在通过对产蛋前期和产蛋高峰期鸡肝全基因组甲基化差异进行分析,解析基因组甲基化对不同发育阶段肝中基因表达差异的影响。本研究采用全基因组重亚硫酸盐测序（WGBS）技术对产蛋前期（20周龄）和产蛋高峰期（30周龄,各3只DNA混池）卢氏绿壳蛋鸡肝全基因组的甲基化水平进行检测,并与已有的肝mRNA转录组数据进行整合分析,探讨基因组甲基化对不同生理阶段基因表达差异的影响。结果表明,全基因组范围约有4%的胞嘧啶（C）发生了甲基化（mC）;两个生理阶段的总体甲基化水平基本一致。共检测到670个差异甲基化区域（DMRs）和356个差异甲基化基因（DMGs）。基因本体（GO）和相关信号通路（KEGG）分析发现,超甲基化DMGs显著富集在发育的正向调控、细胞形态改变的调控、VEGF信号通路、肌动蛋白细胞骨架的调控、粘着斑及间隙连接等相关过程,低甲基化DMGs显著富集在胚胎消化道形态的发生、间充质细胞增殖的正向调控、淀粉和蔗糖代谢及Wnt信号通路等相关过程。基因不同功能区域甲基化水平与基因表达水平有关,启动子（promoter）及基因体（gene body）区域甲基化水平与基因表达水平呈显著负相关,其他区域（内含子、3'UTR）的甲基化水平与基因的表达水平无明显关系。其中,与肝脂质代谢相关的候选基因RASD1、HAO1、UBE2O、MSRB3受甲基化调控。本研究绘制了不同生理时期卢氏绿壳蛋鸡全基因组甲基化图谱,结合mRNA转录组数据阐述了DNA甲基化在基因表达方面的调控作用,并鉴定出了不同生理时期受甲基化调控的基因,为深入研究表观遗传调控在不同生理时期蛋鸡肝代谢中的作用机制提供参考。

SCINTIGRAPHIC TRACKING OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AFTER PORTAL,SYSTEMIC INTRAVENOUS AND SPLENIC ADMINISTRATION IN HEALTHY BEAGLE DOGS

Mesenchymal stem cells have been proposed to treat liver disease in the dog. The objective of this study was to compare portal, systemic intravenous and splenic injections for administration of mesenchymal stem cells to target the liver in healthy beagle dogs. Four healthy beagle dogs were included in the study. Each dog received mesenchymal stem cells via all three delivery methods in randomized order, 1 week apart. Ten million fat‐derived allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells labeled with Technetium‐99m (99mTc)‐hexamethyl‐propylene amine oxime(HMPAO) were used for each injection. Right lateral, left lateral, ventral, and dorsal scintigraphic images were obtained with a gamma camera equipped with a low‐energy all‐purpose collimator immediately after injection and 1, 6, and 24 h later. Mesenchymal stem cells distribution was assessed subjectively using all four views. Pulmonary, hepatic, and splenic uptake was quantified from the right lateral view, at each time point. Portal injection resulted in diffuse homogeneous high uptake through the liver, whereas the systemic intravenous injection led to mesenchymal stem cell trapping in the lungs. After splenic injection, mild splenic retention and high homogeneous diffuse hepatic uptake were observed. Systemic injection of mesenchymal stem cells may not be a desirable technique for liver therapy due to pulmonary trapping. Splenic injection represents a good alternative to portal injection. Scintigraphic tracking with 99mTc‐HMPAO is a valuable technique for assessing mesenchymal stem cells distribution and quantification shortly after administration. Data obtained at 24 h should be interpreted cautiously due to suboptimal labeling persistence.
