PRV、PCV2与PPV三重PCR检测方法的建立与初步应用

为建立可同时检测猪伪狂犬病毒(PRV)、猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)与猪细小病毒(PPV)的三重PCR方法,根据Gen Bank登录的病毒相关基因序列,选择保守区域设计引物,经过反应条件的优化,建立了可同时检测以上3种病毒的PCR诊断方法,扩增的目的片段长度分别为192 bp(PRV)、255 bp(PCV2)和759 bp(PPV)。对PRV、PCV2和PPV的核酸检测最低浓度分别为:2.5×10-2,2.2×10-3和3.7×10-2ng,证明该方法具有良好的特异性和较高的敏感性。应用该方法对56份临床样品进行检测发现,PRV、PCV2和PPV的阳性率分别为16.1%、50.0%和19.6%,二重感染率为12.5%,三重感染阳性率为3.6%。该方法的成功建立为快速高效地检测以上3种病毒提供了有效手段。     

Real-time PCR genotyping assay for feline erythrocyte pyruvate kinase deficiency and mutant allele frequency in purebred cats in Japan

Erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is an inherited glycolytic erythroenzymopathy caused by mutations of the PKLR gene. A causative mutation of the feline PKLR gene was originally identified in Abyssinian and Somali cats in the U.S.A. In the present study, a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR genotyping assay was developed and evaluated for rapid genotyping and large-scale screening for this mutation. Furthermore, a genotyping survey was carried out in a population of four popular purebred cats in Japan to determine the current mutant allele frequency. The assay clearly displayed all genotypes of feline PK deficiency, indicating its suitability for large-scale survey as well as diagnosis. The survey demonstrated that the mutant allele frequency in Abyssinian and Somali cats was high enough to warrant measures to control and prevent the disease. The mutant allele frequency was relatively low in Bengal and American Shorthair cats; however, the testing should still be carried out to prevent the spread of the disease. In addition, PK deficiency should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of anemia in purebred cats in Japan as well as worldwide.

薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌TaqMan荧光定量PCR检测方法的建立及应用

疮痂病是薄壳山核桃上最具毁灭性的病害,带菌植物材料是传播疮痂病的重要来源。准确、灵敏、快速的检测方法可为该病害流行规律调查和防控提供有力的依据。本文通过比较薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌Venturia effusa及其近似种之间的ITS序列差异,设计了特异性引物和TaqMan探针,建立了薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌的荧光定量PCR检测方法。特异性检测结果表明,该方法可以检测不同地区的薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌菌株,而对其近似种以及薄壳山核桃上的其他真菌均没有信号。本研究建立的检测方法对薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌DNA的最低检测限可达0.5 pg/μL。该方法用于田间样品检测时,检测时间仅需1 h,远快于常规的分离培养法。本研究建立的基于TaqMan探针的荧光定量PCR检测方法为薄壳山核桃疮痂病菌的快速检测和监测提供了有力工具。

为了解重庆市某牛场牛群大肠杆菌O157∶H7的感染情况,我们以牛场犊牛为研究对象,采集其新鲜粪便,经LB培养基增菌培养、免疫磁珠富集后,在山梨醇麦康凯琼脂上划线培养,最后PCR扩增eaeA基因目的片段,以此分离鉴定粪源大肠杆菌O157∶H7。结果显示：在所采集的39份犊牛粪便样品中,分离得到一株符合大肠杆菌O157∶H7生长特点且含有eaeA基因的菌株。     

Quantitative CT assessment of bone mineral density in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism

Canine hyperadrenocorticism (HAC) is one of the most common causes of general osteopenia. In this study, quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was used to compare the bone mineral densities (BMD) between 39 normal dogs and 8 dogs with HAC (6 pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism [PDH]; pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism, 2 adrenal hyperadrenocorticism [ADH]; adrenal dependent hyperadrenocorticism) diagnosed through hormonal assay. A computed tomogaraphy scan of the 12th thoracic to 7th lumbar vertebra was performed and the region of interest was drawn in each trabecular and cortical bone. Mean Hounsfield unit values were converted to equivalent BMD with bone-density phantom by linear regression analysis. The converted mean trabecular BMDs were significantly lower than those of normal dogs. ADH dogs showed significantly lower BMDs at cortical bone than normal dogs. Mean trabecular BMDs of dogs with PDH using QCT were significantly lower than those of normal dogs, and both mean trabecular and cortical BMDs in dogs with ADH were significantly lower than those of normal dogs. Taken together, these findings indicate that QCT is useful to assess BMD in dogs with HAC.
