Identification of feline blood B and T lymphocytes by cell electrophoresis.

The electrokinetic properties of feline blood lymphocytes isolated by centrifugation over Ficoll-Isopaque gradient were investigated. A biphasic electrophoretic mobility (EPM) distribution was regularly observed with a low-mobility (LM) population (mean EPM: 0.82) accounting for 32% of blood lymphocytes and a high-mobility (HM) population (mean EPM: 1.09) representing 68% of blood lymphocytes. Following fractionation on nylon-wool columns, lymphocytes with B-cell properties (64% sIg⁺; 9% guinea pig erythrocytes (GPE)-rosette⁺, PHA and Con A unresponsive) were enriched in the adherent fraction and belonged mainly (78%) to the LM population. In contrast, lymphocytes with T properties (5% sIg⁺, 42% GPE-rosette⁺, PHA and Con A responsive) were recovered in the effluent fraction and comprised 84% of HM elements.Thus, in cat blood, LM lymphocytes are likely to represent in majority B cells and HM lymphocytes T cells. This indicates that cell electrophoresis provides an interesting mean for differentiating B and T cells in the cat.     

Potato absorption and phytoavailability of Cd,Ni, Cu,Zn and Pb in sierozem soils amended with municipal sludge compost

Effects of sludge utilization on the mobility and phytoavailability of heavy metals in soil-plant systems have attracted broad attention in recent years. In this study, we analyzed the effects of municipal sludge compost(MSC) on the solubility and plant uptake of Cd, Ni, Cu, Zn and Pb in a soil-potato system to explore the mobility, potato plant uptake and enrichment of these five heavy metals in sierozem soils amended with MSC through a potato cultivation trial in Lanzhou University of China in 2014. Ridge regression analysis was conducted to investigate the phytoavailability of heavy metals in amended soils. Furthermore, CaCl_2, CH_3 COONH_4, CH_3COOH, diethylene triamine pentacetic acid(DTPA) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA) were used to extract the labile fraction of heavy metals from the amended soils. The results show that the MSC could not only improve the fertility but also increase the dissolved organic carbon(DOC) content of sierozem soils. The total concentrations and labile fraction proportions of heavy metals increase with increasing MSC percentage in sierozem soils. In amended soils, Cd has the highest solubility and mobility while Ni has the lowest solubility and mobility among the five heavy metals. The MSC increases the concentrations of heavy metals in the root, stem, peel and tuber of the potato plant, with the concentrations being much higher in the stem and root than in the peel and tuber. Among the five heavy metals, the bioconcentration factor value of Cd is the highest, while that of Ni is the lowest. The complexing agent(DTPA and EDTA) extractable fractions of heavy metals are the highest in terms of phytoavailability. Soil properties(including organic matter, p H and DOC) have important impacts on the phytoavailability of heavy metals. Our results suggest that in soil-potato systems, although the MSC may improve soil fertility, it can also increase the risk of soils exposed to heavy metals.     

Preliminary telemetry data on the movement patterns and habitat use of European catfish (Silurus glanis) in a reservoir of the River Ebro, Spain

Abstract –  Knowledge of the movements and diel behaviour of the European catfish ( Silurus glanis ), the largest European freshwater fish, is limited to anecdotal information. In a preliminary telemetry study of European catfish, the spring diel movement patterns of five adult catfish were examined. After intraperitoneal insertion of the acoustic tags, the positions of the fish were recorded automatically in the Flix Reservoir (River Ebro, NE Spain). A marked nocturnal mobility pattern was observed throughout the study. During daytime, the catfish were consistently located in the littoral zone and spent extended periods of the day hidden in concealed habitats. Catfish movements were in a radial pattern, with upstream and downstream excursions followed by returns to a previously occupied location. Significant individual variations in movement pattern were observed among the tagged fish and within the 24 h cycle for each fish. Mean instantaneous swimming speed was 0.17 body lengths per second (BL·s⁻¹) at night but 0.09 BL·s⁻¹ during the daytime.     

农旅融合对粮食生产效率的异质性影响——基于124个地级市的实证检验北大核心CSCD

农旅融合是推进乡村振兴和深化供给侧结构性改革的重要内容和实施途径,同时也是影响地区耕地利用效率和农业生产方式的主要因素。本文以全国休闲农业与乡村旅游示范县为例,有效测度了我国农旅融合水平,利用2010—2017年124个地级市面板数据,采用固定效应模型和工具变量法,实证检验农旅融合对粮食生产效率的异质性影响。结果表明,我国农旅融合整体水平偏低,目前东部地区发展水平相对较高,但西部地区发展迅速。农旅融合对我国粮食生产效率的影响具有显著异质性。经济较发达地区粮食生产效率相对较高。粮食非主产区农旅融合通过提高农业固定资产投入和促进劳动力"回流"显著提升粮食生产效率,而粮食主产区乡村旅游发展对劳动力和耕地资源的"挤出效应"明显。山区农旅融合对劳动力流动和农村固定资产投资的促进作用比平原地区更加显著。因此,提出加大贫困山区休闲农业开发力度,优化粮食非主产区农业固定资产配置,提高经济较发达地区乡村旅游服务质量等政策建议。     

产脂肪酶乳酸菌对新疆传统奶酪脂肪酸及风味的影响

为了改善奶酪品质,奶酪生产过程中通常会添加脂肪酶或者产脂肪酶乳酸菌来提升产品品质。该研究以前期筛选的4株高产脂肪酶乳酸菌为发酵剂,分别随机选取3株乳酸菌复配制作酸凝奶酪。试验组：A组T1-5和T1-3属融合魏斯氏菌（Weissella confusa）、H1-6属瑞士乳杆菌（Lactobacillus helveticus）,B组H1-6、T1-5、B2-5属植物乳杆菌（Lactobacillus plantarum）,C组H1-6、T1-3、B2-5,D组T1-3、T1-5、B2-5,对照组（E组）（添加商业发酵剂）,分析发酵剂对传统奶酪pH值、滴定酸度和脂肪氧化情况的影响,并利用气相色谱法（Gas Chromatography,GC）检测奶酪中脂肪酸变化、利用气相色谱-离子迁移谱（Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Chromatography,GC-IMS）分析奶酪中风味物质的变化。结果表明：A,B,C,D组4组奶酪的pH值、过氧化值（Peroxide value,POV值）明显低于E组（对照组）（P < 0.05）,A,B组奶酪滴定酸度比对照E组高（P < 0.05）;A,B,C,D组奶酪中饱和脂肪酸（Saturated Fatty Acids,SFA）含量、单不饱和脂肪酸（Monounsaturated Fatty Acids,MUFA）含量和多不饱和脂肪酸（Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids,PUFA）含量均显著高于E组（P < 0.05）;4个试验组样品中亚油酸（C18∶2n6c）含量明显高于对照组（E组）（P < 0.05）。GC-IMS及主成分分析结果显示,A、B组奶酪挥发性风味物质种类多,且相似度较高,其中2-庚酮、丁醛、乙酸丁酯是主要呈味物质;C、E两组奶酪中风味物质比较相似,风味物质主要以乙酸乙酯、乙酸丙酯、己酸乙酯等酯类为主;D组与其他4组有所差异,主要挥发性风味物质为乙酸丁酯、3-辛酮、庚醛等。结合感官评定,A、B两组奶酪整体风味和口感较好,评分较高。筛选得到的产脂肪酶乳酸菌可以作为发酵剂用于提升新疆传统奶酪品质。

外源稀土和磷素在土柱中的相互作用

Rare earth elements (REEs) increasingly used in agriculture as an amendment for crop growth may help to lessen environmental losses of phosphorus (P) from heavily fertilized soils. The vertical transport characteristics of P and REEs, lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), and cerium (Ce), were investigated with addition of exogenous REEs at various doses to packed soil columns (20 cm deep). Vertical transfers of REEs and P were relatively small, with transport depths less than 6 cm for most REEs and P. Export of applied REEs in leachate accounted for less that 5% of inputs. The addition of Ce, Nd and Sm to soil columns significantly decreased concentrations of extractable soil P up to a depth of 4 cm, with soil P concentrations unaffected at depths > 4 cm. In general, REEs had little effect on the vertical leaching of P in packed soil columns.

Two agricultural soils were collected from Dahu and Pinchen counties and swine manure compost (SMC) from Pingtung County in Taiwan, China to investigate the sorption and dissipation of three tetracyclines (TCs), i.e., oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC) and chlortetracycline (CTC), in compost, soils and soil/compost mixtures with different organic carbon (OC) contents. There were seven treatments in total. TCs were most strongly adsorbed to SMC in all treatments due to the high OC content. When SMC was present in the soils, the sorption of TCs was significantly enhanced, which might be attributed to the increased OC content and CEC. The adsorption of TCs showed non-linear adsorption isotherms and fitted well to the Freundlich model. After 49 d of incubation at 25 oC in soils and soil/compost mixtures in the dark, TCs elapsed in all substrates, with the time required for 50% degradation (DT50) between 20 and 41 d, and the time for 90% degradation (DT90) between 68 and 137 d. Soil amended with compost enhanced the stability of TCs and reduced their mobility. The dissipation of TCs in a soil environment was slow, indicating that these compounds might be persistent in soil.
