延边黄牛SREBP1和SCD1基因表达的发育性变化及与肌间脂肪含量的关联分析

文章旨在研究延边黄牛不同生长阶段固醇调节元件结合蛋白1(Sterol regulatory ele-ment binding factor 1,SREBP1)和硬脂酰辅酶A去饱和酶1(Stearoyl Co A desaturease 1,SCD1)基因表达的发育性变化与IMF含量的相关性以及这两个基因表达水平的关联性。试验选取12月龄的延边黄牛公牛(去势)8头,利用微量微创活体采样枪(韩国忠北大学提供),分别在12月龄,16月龄,20月龄,采集肌肉组织(臀肌);利用实时荧光定量PCR方法分析SREBP1和SCD1基因在延边黄牛不同生长阶段肌肉组织中的m RNA发育性变化。结果表明:1延边黄牛SREBP1基因相对表达水平在12、16、20月龄具有极其显著差异(P0.01),其中20月龄时SREBP1基因表达量相对最高;SCD1基因相对表达水平在12、16、20月龄具有显著差异(P0.05),其中20月龄时SCD1基因表达量相对最高。2肌肉组织中SREBP1基因的表达量在12~20月龄期间与IMF含量具有正向相关性,相关系数为0.910(P0.05);SCD1基因的表达量在12~20月龄期间与IMF含量具有正向相关性,相关系数为0.934(P0.05)。结果表明,SREBP1和SCD1基因在延边黄牛不同生长阶段存在显著或极显著差异,SREBP1和SCD1基因的协同表达对延边黄牛不同生长阶段肌内脂肪的沉积有一定的正向调控作用。     

Pharmacokinetics of cefquinome in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) after a single intramuscular or intraperitoneal administration

The pharmacokinetics of cefquinome was studied in plasma after a single dose (10 mg/kg) of intramuscular (i.m.) or intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration to tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in freshwater at 30 °C. Ten fish per sampling point were examined after treatment. The data were fitted to two‐compartment open models following both routes of administration. The estimates of total body clearance (CL/F), volume of distribution (Vd/F), and absorption half‐life (T_1/2ka) were 0.049 and 0.037 L/h/kg, 0.41 and 0.33 L/kg, and 0.028 and 0.035 h following i.m. and i.p. administration, respectively. After i.m. injection, the elimination half‐life (T_1?2β) was calculated to be 5.81 h, the maximum plasma concentration (C_max) to be 49.40 μg/mL, the time to peak plasma cefquinome concentration (T_max) to be 0.14 h, and the area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) to be 204.6 μg h/mL. Following i.p. administration, the corresponding estimates were 6.05 h, 44.39 μg/mL, 0.17 h and 267.8 μg h/mL. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of cefquinome, determined for 30 strains of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from diseased tilapia, ranged from 0.015 to 0.12 μg/mL. Results from these studies support that 10 mg cefquinome/kg body weight daily could be expected to control tilapia bacterial pathogens inhibited in vitro by a minimal inhibitory concentration value of ≤2 μg/mL.     

双向电泳在植物蛋白质组中的应用及影响因素分析

双向电泳(two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,2-DE)是蛋白质组学研究中常用的技术之一,因具有较高的稳定性和重复性,在植物蛋白质组学中应用广泛。蛋白质双向电泳(2-DE)过程复杂、时间持久以及影响因素众多,本文立足蛋白质双向电泳实验过程中可能出现的各种现象,如：分离的蛋白质点过少、条纹过多导致凝胶背景模糊、高丰度蛋白点聚集沉淀及低丰度蛋白点被掩盖等,着重分析其产生的原因并提出具体的解决办法,为蛋白质双向电泳技术初学者提供参考。

Status of giant clam resources around Okinawa‐jima Island,Ryukyu Archipelago,Japan

1. Giant clams provide and support valuable functions to coral reefs, as well as represent a sustainable resource for traditional fisheries throughout the Indo‐Pacific region. The Ryukyu Archipelago (southern Japan) is known to be the northern latitudinal limits of giant clam distribution, but there is only limited information in the literature regarding species diversity, status, and distribution in this region.
2. In this study, we report findings from a rapid survey in 2016, the first of its kind for the Ryukyu Islands, to determine species distribution and abundance of giant clams (tridacnines) around Okinawa‐jima Island.
3. Results indicate the presence of four species with an overall density of 5.03 per 100 m², from most to least abundant: Tridacna crocea, Tridacna maxima, Tridacna squamosa, and Tridacna noae. The previously reported species Tridacna gigas and Hippopus hippopus were both absent from the surveys. The densities and distributions of tridacnines varied among species and sites, which are likely attributable to efforts in replenishing and protecting stocks of selected species.
4. The most abundant species, T. crocea, is an important fishery species in Okinawa, and has been widely cultured and restocked to augment depleted populations. In comparison, restocking efforts for less popular species, such as T. squamosa, have been limited, and their current sizes and numbers suggest recruitment constraints.
5. Given the importance of the giant clam fishery in this region and the current declines of various species (except T. crocea), further regulations should focus on the protection of larger and mature clams that function as broodstock necessary to maintain spawning and natural recruitment.

Responses of subshrub sagebrush rangeland in North-Western China to changes in livestock numbers and rainfall over 10 years (2004–2013)

Seriphidium transiliense, or subshrub sagebrush, is one of the most important forage resources for livestock in many arid lands, but such resources have been threatened by overgrazing for a long time. A 2013 vegetation survey of an original sagebrush rangeland (2400?ha) in the Tianshan Mountains revealed that nearly half of the area once under sagebrush has been replaced by annual species. This is due to the continual and rapid increase in livestock numbers over the past 30?years. Three smaller sites with different grazing scenarios: no grazing (Site N), a decline (Site 1), and an increase (Site 2) in livestock numbers, were selected to monitor recent changes (from 2004 to 2013) in vegetation biomass and the degree of dominance by sagebrush. Supplanting happened at Site 2 but little occurred at Site 1. There were significant differences between Site 2 and Site 1 in standing biomass in Spring and Summer, but no significant differences in Summer between Site 1 and Site N. The supplanting of sagebrush marks the completion of a dynamic process – in which rainfall plays a crucial role – of damage to sagebrush from heavy grazing in drought years and its rehabilitation by light grazing in some good years. Plant biomass loss was greatest when the land was first subjected to heavy grazing. Sagebrush tends to exist as a sole-dominant species rather than a companion species in sagebrush communities. This suggests that sagebrush continued to survive in pockets where grazing pressure had declined.
