为探究伊犁马对补喂不同水平α-酮异己酸的吸收及其某些相关代谢,采取单因素多水平试验设计方法,选取20匹年龄为1岁,体重(295.25±25.15)kg的伊犁马,分成4组,每组5匹。试验Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ组分别补喂6、12、18 gα-酮异己酸,进行为期25 d的试验。在试验第25天采集血液样品。结果表明:(1)随着α-酮异己酸补喂水平的增加,血浆中α-酮异己酸浓度的变化呈先上升后下降的趋势。与对照组相比,补喂α-酮异己酸1 h后各试验组血浆α-酮异己酸浓度分别提高了11.2%、7.86%和21.51%,且均达到了峰值(P>0.05);(2)随着α-酮异己酸补喂水平的增加,血浆中β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸浓度的变化呈先下降后上升再下降的趋势。与对照组相比,各试验组补喂前0 h血浆β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸浓度呈下降趋势,补喂后1、2、4 h血浆β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸浓度均有所升高(P>0.05);(3)与对照组相比,各试验组血浆α-酮异己酸和β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸浓度均差异不显著(P>0.05);试验Ⅱ组和试验Ⅲ组血浆亮氨酸浓度分别提高了22.40%和22.24%(P>0.05);试验Ⅰ组和试验Ⅲ组血浆异亮氨酸浓度极显著降低(P<0.01);血浆缬氨酸浓度显著降低(P<0.05);试验Ⅲ组血浆赖氨酸、甲硫氨酸、精氨酸和谷氨酰胺浓度均显著降低(P<0.05);各试验组血浆5-羟色胺浓度极显著降低(P<0.01);试验Ⅲ组血浆三甲基组氨酸浓度降低了18.74%(P>0.05)。补喂α-酮异己酸提高了伊犁马血浆α-酮异己酸浓度,且各试验组均在补喂后1 h达到峰值;提高了血浆β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸和亮氨酸的浓度。通过补喂不同水平的α-酮异己酸,改变了伊犁马对某些氨基酸的吸收利用。     

Association of TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-6 promoter polymorphisms in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and their household contacts of younger age group

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cytokine genes have been found to be involved in the clinical outcome of Tuberculosis. The present study was aimed to identify the high risk genotypes in Tuberculosis patients and their household contacts. A total of 490 subjects were studied which includes 150 active pulmonary tuberculosis patients (APTB), 190 household contacts (HHC) and 150 healthy controls (HC). The SNPs of TNF-α (-308A/G), IL-10(-1082G/A) and IL-6(-174G/C) were performed by ARMs PCR. The IL-10 GA genotype showed significant association in APTB and HHC and was 2.3 times higher risk in APTB and 3.7 times in HHC compared to HCs. The A allele was found to be significantly associated with the risk of disease. The CC genotype of IL-6 was found to be significantly associated in APTB and an insignificant positive association in HHCs. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis indicated that the genotypes of IL-6 were showing high risk with GA genotype of IL-10. In conclusion the gene interaction may be useful for identification of genotypes as biomarkers to distinguish high risk individuals.     

Cloning,Expression of Clostridium perfringens α-toxin Gene and Preparation of its Antisera

One pair of primers had been designed and synthesized based on the α-toxin gene of Clostridium perfringens.The complete α-toxin gene fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then was cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector to construct pGEM-T-α.Digested with EcoRⅠ and Hind Ⅲ, a fragment of 1125 bp was cloned into the expression plasmid vector pET-28a(+).The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the BL21(DE3)plys and induced by 1.0 mmol/L IPTG at 37 ℃.The expression product was found to be 46.1 ku as expected one identified by SDS-PAGE, and confirmed by Western blotting with Clostridium perfringens type A antisera, indicating similar reactivity with native α-toxin.Recombinant α-toxin protein was simultaneously found in culture supernatant, postsonic supertanant and inclusion bodies, most protein was expressed in inclusion bodies, which indicated recombinant α-toxin protein was expressed in the extracellular, periplasm and cytoplasm.Recombinant α-toxin protein in postsonic supertanant could not make mice die, indicating its non-toxicity.Toxin-antitoxin neutralization test showed that antisera of recombinant α-toxin protein were specific to α-toxin.Upon immunization of rabbit with the recombinant α-toxin protein, antisera with high antibody titer neutralizing 100 MLD toxin per 1 mL were prepared.

Three new water-soluble alkaloids from the leaves of Suregada glomerulata (Blume) Baill

Three new water-soluble alkaloids (1-3) together with twelve known compounds (4-15) have been isolated from the water extract of leaves of Suregada glomerulata. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical method. Compounds 1-3 were evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and HIV-1 replication. However, no significant activities were found.     

Effects of the exopolysaccharide fraction (EPSF) from a cultivated Cordyceps sinensis on immunocytes of H22 tumor bearing mice

In order to explore the effects of exopolysaccharide fraction (EPSF) from one of the anamorph strains of Cordyceps sinensis on immunocyte activity of H22 tumor bearing mice, ICR mice were treated with EPSF for 7 days by intraperitoneal injection at doses of 15 mg/kg (low-dose), 30 mg/kg (mid-dose) and 60 mg/kg (high-dose) after H22 tumor cells were implanted. At the end of the experiments, the tumor weight of each mouse was measured. Phagocytosis of mouse peritoneal macrophages was tested by neutral red uptake. The TNF-alpha expression of macrophages was assayed by ELISA. Proliferation ability and cytotoxicity of spleen lymphocytes were determined by MTT methods. The mRNA levels of cytokine TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma mRNA of spleen lymphocytes were detected by RT-PCR. The results indicated that EPSF not only significantly inhibited the H22 tumor growth, but also significantly elevated immunocytes' activity. It significantly enhanced the phagocytosis capacity of peritoneal macrophages and proliferation ability of spleen lymphocytes at all the three doses; it significantly promoted macrophages' TNF-alpha expression and spleen lymphocytes' cytotoxicity. EPSF also significantly elevated TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma mRNA expression of splenic lymphocytes. This experimental finding suggests that EPSF could elevate the immunocytes' activity in H22 tumor bearing mice.
