Acute pancreatitis in parrots

Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed in three parrots. Antemortem diagnosis of pancreatitis in the avian patient is rarely documented, and should be suspected in birds showing clinical signs attributable to abdominal pain or gastro-intestinal dysfunction. However, not all birds with confirmed pancreatitis display these signs. A serum amylase level greater than 1,500 U/L is suggestive of pancreatitis and pancreatic biopsy can be used to confirm a diagnosis. The aetiology of acute pancreatitis in parrots is discussed and a suggested treatment protocol is described.

Capacity for digestive hydrolysis and amino acid absorption in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed diets with soybean meal or inulin with or without addition of antibiotics

This experiment was done to study the effects of dietary soybean meal (SBM) and inulin (a prebiotic) on the capacity for digestive hydrolysis and amino acid absorption by Atlantic salmon, and how a dietary supplement of the broad-spectrum antibiotic oxytetracycline (OTC) modulated these responses. A control diet (FM) was made from fish meal, fish oil and extruded wheat. Two similar diets were made with 250 g soybean meal (SBM) or 75 g inulin kg^− 1. Each diet was made with or without a supplement of 3 g OTC kg^− 1. All six diets contained yttrium oxide for estimation of apparent nutrient absorption. Each diet was fed to two groups of 172 g salmon kept in 1 m² tanks with 9 °C saltwater for 3 weeks. Intestinal organs were then sampled and weighed. Gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) were sectioned for analyses of brush border alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) activities. Tissue from the distal intestine (DI) was also fixed for histological examination. Digesta from the different sections were freeze dried for estimation of trypsin and amylase activities, and of apparent absorption of amino acids (AA), nitrogen (N), and sulphur (S). About 85% of the trypsin activity, 70% of the amylase activity, 85% of the ALP activity, and 82% of the LAP activity were found in the proximal (PI) and mid (MI) intestine of fish with functional DI, and the absorption of AA, N, and S was quantitatively completed in the MI. Dietary OTC resulted in lower relative liver weight, but apart from increased ALP and LAP activities in DI when feeding OTC in combination with inulin, OTC did not modify the responses to dietary SBM or inulin. Dietary SBM resulted in lower relative liver weight, and induced pathomorphological changes in the DI mucosa, thus lower the ALP and LAP activities in the DI. SBM also stimulated absorption of AA, N, and S in the PI, but at the same time increased the activities of trypsin and amylase in the DI, indicating reduced re-absorption and increased faecal losses of these endogenous enzymes. Dietary inulin did not damage the DI, and stimulated intestinal growth and higher relative mass of the GIT. Inulin without OTC did not affect the hydrolytic and absorptive capacity of the salmon GIT.     

不同生长阶段斑节对虾消化酶活性变化

通过对斑节对虾不同生长阶段蛋白酶、脂肪酶及淀粉酶活性变化的分析,探讨了斑节对虾在生长过程中对蛋白质、脂肪和碳水化合物的消化利用。结果表明,根据消化酶活性,可将斑节对虾生长分为两个阶段。第1阶段,在体长10～12.5 cm阶段之前,随着个体的增大蛋白酶和脂肪酶活性不断升高;第2阶段,在12.5 cm之后,蛋白酶和脂肪酶活性呈现出一定程度的下降。肝胰腺、胃、肠3种不同消化器官的消化酶活性在不同生长期也不一致,大致上蛋白酶活性从高到低依次为:肝胰腺>胃>肠;脂肪酶活性:肠>肝胰腺>胃;淀粉酶活性:肠>胃>肝胰腺。

关于水稻穗芽的生理学研究

利用重组自交系籼稻中-156/谷梅2号304份株系为材料，在田间条件下营造高温、高湿的小气候，以“穗穗芽率”及“粒穗芽率”为指标，筛选易发生穗芽与不易发生穗芽的极端材料，比较研究重组自交系亲本与各供试株系籽粒在穗芽发生期间的生理差异。结果表明，该重组自交系母本谷梅2号比父本中-156易穗芽，在正常成熟过程中籽粒内源GA₁含量水平高于中-156，ABA含量水平低于中-156；谷梅2号籽粒淀粉酶活性也高于中-156。花后15 d至完熟的籽粒灌浆期如遇高温、高湿条件，谷梅2号及易穗芽的株系籽粒内源GA1随雨日渐增，增幅高于中-156及不易穗芽的株系，同时其淀粉酶活性回升，在正常成熟过程中花后15 d后籽粒中淀粉酶活性与日渐降，但其幅度远高于父本中-156及不易穗芽的株系，这种变化可能是易穗芽的亲本与株系对高温、高湿敏感诱发穗上发芽的主要生理基础。     

钙离子对两种基因型冬小麦萌发过程中盐胁迫效应的影响

以两种不同基因型冬小麦种子为试验材料,研究了外源Ca(NO3)2和CaC l2对小麦萌发过程中盐害的缓解作用。结果表明,150mmol L-1NaC l胁迫明显抑制小麦种子的萌发。盐胁迫主要影响小麦根和芽的伸长,对根数的影响较小。种子萌发过程中,小偃6号的耐盐性优于陕229。外源钙对两种小麦盐胁迫效应的缓解作用不同。6mmol L-1钙离子可明显减轻陕229的盐害作用,对小偃6号作用不大。盐胁迫对种子萌发过程中的蛋白酶和淀粉酶活性具有明显的抑制作用。盐胁迫下,小偃6号种子的蛋白酶和淀粉酶活性明显高于陕229。钙离子对盐胁迫下小麦萌发过程胚乳内蛋白酶的活性影响较大,对淀粉酶活性影响较小。
