Dexmedetomidine attenuates acute alcoholic hepatic injury in mice

AIM: To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on acute alcoholic hepatic injury in mice and to explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Kunming mice (n=50) were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10): normal saline control (NS) group, acute alcoholic hepatic injury model (E) group, low-dose (10 μg/kg) DEX (E+L) group, medium-dose (50 μg/kg) DEX (E+M) group and high-dose (100 μg/kg) DEX (E+H) group. The animals were sacrificed at 6 h after gavage of alcohol or normal saline. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglyceride (TG), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured. The livers were removed for evaluation of histological characteristics and determining the content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) amd interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the liver tissues by ELISA. The expression levels of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in the liver tissues were evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with NS group, the levels of ALT, AST and TG were obviously increased in E group, which were obviously decreased in E+M and E+H groups. Compared with NS group, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and MDA were obviously increase in E group, which were obviously decreased in E+M and E+H groups. Compared with NS group, the activity of SOD and the content of GSH were obviously decreased in E group, which were obviously increased in E+M and E+H groups. Compared with NS group, the expression of CYP2E1 and NF-κB was obviously increase in E group, which was obviously decreased in E+M and E+H groups. Compared with NS group, ethanol induced marked liver histological injury, which was less pronounced in E+M and E+H groups. CONCLUSION: DEX has a protective effect on mouse liver with acute alcoholic injury by the involvement in the processes of antioxidation and antiinflammation, and its mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of CYP2E1 and NF-κB expression.     

海拔高度对茅莓果实品质的影响

对梵净山同一山体、同一坡面上800~2 000m不同海拔高度2年生茅莓果实品质进行了分析研究,以期为高海拔地区茅莓栽培选择适宜的生态区提供参考依据。结果表明:可滴定酸含量与海拔高度呈负相关;单果质量、可溶性固形物含量、固酸比、维生素C含量、可溶性蛋白质含量在海拔800~1 800 m区段,随着海拔的升高逐渐增加;而在1 800~2 000m区段,呈下降趋势;在海拔1 600~1 800m区段茅莓的单果质量、可溶性固形物含量、固酸比、维生素C含量、可溶性蛋白质含量与其它海拔区段差异显著(P0.05),表现出很好的品质特性,是适合茅莓优质高产栽培的海拔地带。     

甜樱桃花芽与枝条冻害调查分析

以8个甜樱桃品种为试材,研究调查了2015年11月与2016年1月2次寒潮过后泰安市部分甜樱桃品种冻害发生情况。结果表明:冻害原因为降温幅度大、低温持续时间长、防寒意识差,最终导致甜樱桃花芽和枝条受到严重冻害,有些地区花芽冻害指数高达79.9,枝条冻害指数61.2。但不同砧穗组合与品种间的冻害发生程度不同。合理修剪、加强水肥、保花促果、冻害部位处理、预防"倒春寒"等预防与补救措施可以有效防止甜樱桃冻害发生。

围封与放牧对荒漠草原土壤理化性质的影响

以宁夏盐池典型荒漠草原为研究对象,选择围栏封育区和围栏外放牧区的芨芨草群落和沙蒿群落,研究围封与放牧区2种群落草地的含水量、pH及土壤理化性质的变化。结果表明:放牧干扰对荒漠草原土壤水分和pH均表现出显著影响(P0.05),沙蒿群落土壤含水量各层在放牧干扰下比围栏区相应高12.0%、12.3%和16.6%,芨芨草群落各层均表现为围封区含水量大于放牧区,放牧区土壤pH明显低于围封区;除速效磷(AP)以外,其它养分元素含量均呈现为围封区大于放牧区,围封内外土壤的有机碳(SOC)、全氮(TN)、速效氮(AN)、速效磷(AP)、速效钾(AK)的达到差异显著水平,对全磷(TP)、全钾(TK)的影响不明显;芨芨草群落各层土壤各指标含量均比沙蒿高,同时相对增幅也大。

喷施沼液对苹果产量品质及蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的影响

以短枝"富士"苹果为试材,研究了叶面喷施不同体积分数的沼液对苹果产量品质及成熟过程中蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的影响。结果表明:喷施体积分数为75%的沼液,增加了果实维生素C、可溶性总糖和可滴定酸含量以及果实的果形指数,改善了苹果果实品质,提高了苹果的产量,与对照不喷清水不喷肥相比增产率最高,为13.7%,即667m~2可增产44.5kg。果实成熟后期,各喷肥处理下的蔗糖合成酶和蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性均高于对照CK,随着沼液喷施体积分数的增加,蔗糖含量逐渐增多;蔗糖含量与蔗糖合成酶和蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性呈极显著正相关,相关系数为0.648、0.530(P0.01)。因此,可以在苹果成熟后期叶面喷施沼液增加蔗糖合成酶和蔗糖磷酸合成酶的活性,进而提高果实内蔗糖含量,改善苹果的品质。
