Carbon monoxide toxicity: a case series

Objective: To describe diagnostics, therapy, and sequelae of acute carbon monoxide (CO) toxicity because of a motor vehicle generator in 4 dogs and 2 cats. Series summary: Four dogs and 2 cats presented for recumbency, disorientation, dyspnea, and stiffness after an estimated 6–8 hour exposure to exhaust from a generator. Diagnostics included a serum carboxyhemoglobin levels evaluation, arterial blood gas analysis, pulse oximetry readings, and blood pressure measurements. Initial therapy included oxygen (O₂) administration, intravenous bronchodilators, fluids, and a hemoglobin‐based O₂ carrying (HBOC) molecule. Following administration of the HBOC, 4 of the 6 animals showed dramatic clinical improvement. Two weeks after hospital discharge, the owner reported potential hearing deficits in all animals. Brain auditory evoked response (BAER) tests were conducted in all surviving animals and some degree of hearing impairment was documented in all cases, with complete clinical resolution noted 6 weeks later. Unique information provided: This report describes the therapeutic use of an HBOC in acute isolated CO toxicity (i.e. without the complications of smoke inhalation). In addition, delayed nervous system dysfunction was documented in all surviving animals.

m6A表观遗传修饰及其调控机制研究进展

N⁶-甲基腺嘌呤（N⁶-methyladenosine,m⁶A）修饰是现阶段发现的真核生物体内最广泛的RNA表观遗传修饰方式,近年来研究显示,m⁶A在真核生物间具有较高的保守性,在基因表达及细胞命运调控中发挥着关键作用,且对mRNA的可变剪接、定位、翻译及稳定性有较大影响。现有的m⁶A修饰检测技术可以较为准确、高效地检测出生物样本中的m⁶A修饰丰度,并能快速、简便地进行m⁶A修饰的高通量测序,以及在单碱基分辨率下检测m⁶A修饰在RNA上的位置。尽管m⁶A修饰相关调控蛋白对畜禽复杂经济性状的影响近年来已有少量报道,但其中的作用机制仍未得到充分阐明。大量人类及模式生物上的研究表明,m⁶A修饰相关蛋白能够影响生长发育、繁殖、热应激、炎症及癌症等生物学过程,为探究畜禽m⁶A修饰参与复杂性状调控机制提供一定的借鉴意义。作者主要从m⁶A甲基化修饰相关蛋白（甲基转移酶、去甲基化酶及读取蛋白）、m⁶A检测技术、m⁶A对哺乳动物复杂性状的调控机制、m⁶A与其他表观修饰的互作机制等方面进行阐述,为m⁶A在畜禽遗传育种中的应用提供新的见解。     

基于3S技术的甘南州生态健康与生态承载力耦合

摘要：生态承载力是生态系统整体水平的主要特征之一,其定量分析已成为生态环境管理和区域可持续发展决策的有效依据。本研究以甘南藏族自治州为对象,运用Landsat TM、ETM+等遥感影像数据及统计年鉴数据,建立了基于生态系统健康的生态承载力评价指标体系。利用3S（GIS、RS、GPS）技术对主要指标（如NDVI指数等）进行空间数据分析处理,通过加速遗传层次分析法（AGA AHP）获得各指标权重,采用状态空间法定量研究2000-2008年甘南州各县(市)基于生态健康的生态承载力状况。结果显示,2000-2008年甘南地区资源环境承载力、生态弹性力持续下降和人类社会影响力上升是构成该区生态承载力下降的主要原因。在过去近10年间,资源环境承载力处于“不健康”状态;生态弹性力等级由“亚健康”下降至“不健康”;人类社会影响力由“病态”等级变为“不健康”等级,基于以上三者综合分析,近10年生态承载力总体为“亚健康”状态。     

Effects on animal performance and sward composition of mixed and sequential grazing of permanent pasture by cattle and sheep

Previous experiments have shown that mixed or conjoint grazing, when two or more animal species are grazed together, can lead to improved performance of one or more of the species and a higher total output per unit area. Sequential grazing systems, when different animal species graze an area in succession, also have the potential to improve productivity. This experiment directly compared these two approaches for integrating the grazing of cattle and sheep when pastured on improved permanent pasture. Four treatments were compared: 1) sheep only from May to October (S/S); 2) cattle only from May to July followed by sheep only from August to October (C/S); 3) cattle and sheep from May to July, sheep only for the rest of the growing season (C + S/S); and 4) cattle and sheep from May to October (C + S/C + S). Each treatment was replicated three times. From May until weaning at the end of July the plots were grazed by steers and ewes and lambs, and from weaning until October by steers and lambs. Sward heights were maintained at 6 cm using a “put and take” stocking system. Animal performance and sward composition data were collected during three growing seasons, 2001–2003. During the pre-weaning period lambs grazing plots which were grazed only by sheep had significantly poorer growth rates than those grazing plots where there was mixed grazing. Lambs grazing the sheep only plots also had lower liveweight gain during the post-weaning period, with the highest growth rates being recorded on the C + S/C + S treatment. Carrying capacity and total liveweight gain per unit area post-weaning were also consistently higher for the C + S/C + S treatment, while carrying capacity pre-weaning was highest for the C/S treatment. Measurements of clover content in the grazed horizon and botanical separation of material from quadrat cuts indicated that even under relatively controlled conditions choice of grazing system can influence sward composition. However, there was no clear link between any single sward change and the growth of the animals, indicating that the improved performance of cattle and sheep under mixed grazing is the result of a combination of factors, rather than a response to a particular sward parameter.

不同苜蓿根瘤菌固氮能力和黄酮变异研究

从重庆、安徽和新疆3个地区的宿主苜蓿上分别分离纯化出1个根瘤菌菌株。将3个菌株分别接种到WL323和阿尔冈金两个品种苜蓿上。分析不同处理的固氮能力和它们的芦丁的含量,以及黄酮含量和固氮的关系。结果表明：固氮能力、芦丁、黄酮含量都受到根瘤菌菌株、苜蓿品种和两者的相互作用影响;并且各组合的芦丁含量与固氮量之间成负相关,黄酮含量越高,固氮量越少。
