姜曲海猪瘦肉型品系(零世代)早期背最长肌超微结构的研究

选择姜曲海猪瘦肉型品系(零世代)仔猪24头于0,15,30,45,60,75d进行屠宰,取背最长肌做超薄切片,对肌原纤维直径、肌节、A带、I带和H带进行测量分析。结果表明,肌原纤维直径从出生至15日龄期间生长迅速,15日龄时肌原纤维直径比初生时几乎增加了1.5倍,此后各日龄段增长缓慢,到75日龄已接近成熟;肌节长度到45日龄时已达到1649nm,基本分化成熟;A带长度从出生到60日龄呈逐渐增加趋势,60日龄时达到1346nm基本分化成熟;而I带和H带长度不随年龄增长而增加,说明I带和H带长度在胚胎期已基本成熟而稳定;研究发现各部分成熟的先后顺序为:I带(胚胎期)>肌节(45日龄)>A带(60日龄)>肌原纤维直径(75日龄)。     

Ultrastructure of Colonic Epithelial Cells in Vitamin E and Selenium Deficient Pigs

Pigs deficient in vitamin E and selenium had a decreased contrast of the intracellular membranes compared with pigs supplemented with vitamin E and selenium. Other common changes in the deficient animals included a reduced number of microvilli, with a short and irregular appearance, numerous swollen mitochondria with empty spaces and intercellular oedema. It is suggested that these morphological changes are attributed to the insufficient supply of vitamin E and selenium, though it is not excluded that particular intestinal factors may participate in the development of the lesions.     

Preovulatory follicular and subsequent luteal size influence pregnancy success in water buffaloes

The diameter of the preovulatory follicle (POF) and its effects on subsequent corpus luteum (CL) size and conception were studied in 38 lactating indigenous cycling buffaloes in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Body condition score (BCS) at estrus was estimated for the buffaloes. The buffaloes were synchronized with two injections of a synthetic analogue of PGF2α administered 11 days apart. Transrectal ultrasonography was carried out at estrus and on days 5, 9, 12 and 16 post ovulation to determine the POF and successive CL size. Pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound examination on day 40-45 post ovulation. Twenty one (55.3%) buffaloes were diagnosed as pregnant. The conception rates of thin (BCS ≤2.0), good (BCS 2.5-3.5) and fat (BCS glt;3.5) buffaloes were 7.7, 88.2 and 62.5% (χ2 = 19.54; P<0.05), respectively. The mean diameter of the POF at estrus was larger (P<0.01) in buffaloes that ultimately were diagnosed as pregnant compared with their nonpregnant counterparts (13.7 ± 0.3 vs. 11.2 ± 0.5 mm, respectively). The conception rates of buffaloes having small (9 to ≤ 12 mm), medium (>12 to ≤14 mm) and large (>14 to 16 mm) POFs at estrus were 9.1, 70.0 and 85.7% (χ2 = 13.87, P<0.01), respectively. On day 5 post ovulation, CL size was positively correlated (CL: r=.74, P<0.01) with POF diameter. Retrospective analysis revealed that on day 5 post ovulation, the pregnant buffaloes had higher (P<0.01) post ovulation CL sizes than their nonpregnant counterparts (15.6 vs. 11.8 mm). Similarly, on day 9 post ovulation, the difference in CL size (14.3 vs. 13.6 mm) between pregnant and nonpregnant buffaloes was significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, the diameter of the POF in buffaloes has a positive impact on the size of the post ovulation CL and conception.

Preovulatory changes in follicular prostaglandins and their role in ovulation in cattle.

Indomethacin (INDO, n = 5) or vehicle (CONTROL, n = 4) was injected into superovulated heifers at 48 and 60 h following a luteolytic cloprostenol injection (0 h). One heifer from each group was ovariectomized (OVX) at 48, 56, 64 and 72 h. The fifth heifer of the INDO group was OVX at 80 h. Blood samples were collected at 0 h, every 2 h between 37 and 47 h, and at the time of each OVX to monitor plasma progesterone (P4) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations. Following each OVX, the number and size of follicles were recorded and the incidence of ovulation determined. Follicular fluid (FF) was aspirated from follicles greater than or equal to 8 mm to determine the concentration of prostaglandins E2 (PGE2) and F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). The highest PG concentrations were measured in both groups at 24-25 h following the preovulatory LH surge and the PGF2 alpha concentration at this time was significantly greater (p less than 0.01) in the CONTROL group compared to the INDO group. By 35-36 h after the LH surge, 75% (25/34) of the CONTROL follicles had ovulated, whereas there were no ovulations (0/50) on either ovary of the INDO treated heifer. These preliminary results suggest that the preovulatory rise of PGs in FF, particularly PGF2 alpha, is essential for ovulation and that suppression of this rise with indomethacin will inhibit ovulation in heifers.     

Transmissible Gastroenteritis in Feeder Pigs: Observations on the Jejunal Epithelium of Normal Feeder Pigs and Feeder Pigs Infected with TGE Virus

Light and electron microscopy findings in the jejunal mucosa of the normal feeder pig and feeder pigs infected with transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus are reported. Villi in the mid jejunum of the normal feeder pig were elongated, finger shaped and covered with a layer of columnar absorptive cells with a well developed and regular brush border. Severe lesions of villous atrophy were present in all jejunal segments of feeder swine killed 96 hours post infection with TGE virus. Atrophic villi were covered by flat to cuboidal cells with a poorly developed brush border in some areas. In other segments, cells varied in appearance from sub-columnar to columnar type of near normal appearance.

The ultrastructure of the jejunal absorptive cells in the normal feeder pig was found to be similar to that described for the jejunal cells of other adult mammals. There were no significant indications of high pinocytotic activity. The epithelial cells covering the atrophic villi of TGE infected pigs had a fine structure similar to that described for the crypt cells, ranging in appearance from very immature to moderately differentiated cells. Microvilli were very short, decreased markedly in number and irregular in arrangement. The terminal web was poorly developed. Strands of rough endoplasmic reticulum were markedly diminished and an increase in free ribosomes was noted. The significance of these observations in explaining pathogenesis of TGE in feeder pigs is discussed.

     

Spatial Relationships between Serrated Granulosa and Vascularity of the Preovulatory Follicle and Developing Corpus Luteum

Color Doppler and B-mode film clips were taken of the preovulatory follicle an hour before the beginning of ovulation. Locations of serrated granulosa and color-flow signals were determined by clock-face positions with the apex of the follicle (future ovulation site) at 12 o'clock. Mares were divided into a group with normal follicle evacuation (completion within 1 hour; n = 21 mares) and a group with septated evacuation (n = 5). The septated group was characterized by completion of evacuation in ≥3 hours and formation of echoic trabeculae in the antrum during evacuation. The trabeculae in the septated evacuations contained blood-flow signals and were interpreted to be creases in the slowly collapsing follicle wall. In the normal-evacuation group, serration and blood-flow signals were located at the basal hemisphere of the follicle directly opposite to the apex, and the o'clock positions did not differ significantly between the two characteristics. The apical area was devoid of both serration and color-flow signals. Vascularization of the corpus luteum began at the basal third on the day of ovulation and reached the apical third in a mean of 5.5 days. In septated evacuation, color-flow signals were detected at every clock-face position in each mare at the hour before ovulation. Results supported the following hypotheses: (1) both granulosa serration and color-flow signals occur in a similar basal area opposite to the apex; and (2) prolonged septated follicle evacuation is associated with vascularization of a greater circumference of the follicle than for normal evacuation and includes the apical area.     

Preovulatory follicle development in goats following oestrous synchronization with progestagens or prostaglandins.

The study reports on differences in the dynamics of growth and functionality of preovulatory follicles in response to oestrous synchronization, either by the administration of two doses of prostaglandin or by an intravaginal progestagen sponge, in goats. The progestagen-treated group (n = 8) showed more follicles of preovulatory size (> or =5.5 mm) than the cloprostenol group (n = 8) during the follicular phase (4.5 +/- 0.6 vs 1.9 +/- 0.2, p < 0.01). The diameters of the largest follicles (LF1, LF2 and LF3) were also larger in the progestagen group (LF1, 7.8 +/- 0.3 vs 7.0 +/- 0.2 mm, p < 0.05; LF2, 6.7 +/- 0.2 vs 5.6 +/- 0.2 mm, p < 0.01; LF3, 5.5 +/- 0.3 vs 4.2 +/- 0.2 mm, p < 0.01). The study of the preovulatory follicles showed that 27.2% (3/11) of the follicles were in the static phase in the cloprostenol group, whilst 71.4% (10/14) were static in progestagen group (p < 0.05). Higher plasma oestradiol levels were recorded in the progestagen-treated goats during the 48 h prior to cloprostenol injection or progestagen withdrawal (4.2 +/- 0.4 vs 3.0 +/- 0.2 pg/ml, p < 0.05). In conclusion, goats with oestrus synchronized by progestagen showed a higher number of preovulatory-sized follicles, but a decreased oestradiol secretion when compared with does with oestrus synchronized by using prostaglandin analogues. These would support the development of alternative protocols for assisted reproduction.     

Correlation of Blood Flow of the Preovulatory Follicle to its Diameter and Endocrine Profile in Dairy Buffalo

Blood flow of the preovulatory follicle (POF) wall can be used as a predictor of the quality of POF. Our aim was to determine the correlation of blood flow of POF with the POF diameter, and intra‐follicular and plasma concentrations of Insulin‐like Growth Factor‐I (IGF‐1) and oestradiol in dairy buffalo. Nine Murrah buffalo subjected to an ovulation synchronization protocol (Ovsynch) were assessed on day 10 of the protocol for diameter and blood flow of POF, followed by the aspiration of follicle fluid. Prior to follicular aspiration, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein for estimation of IGF‐1 and oestradiol. The vascularity of POF was determined (Range: 250–967 pixel²) along with intra‐follicular and plasma concentration of IGF‐1 (Range: 9.3–31.8 ng/ml and 14.7–29.7 ng/ml respectively) and oestradiol (Range: 124.2–447.9 ng/ml and 0.25–1.05 ng/ml respectively). Diameter of the POF was weakly correlated (r = 0.21, p < 0.01) with blood flow to it. As compared to POF diameter, the blood flow of POF had greater positive correlation with intra‐follicular and plasma concentrations of hormones (IGF‐1 and oestradiol). A strong positive correlation was recorded between intra‐follicular IGF‐1 and oestradiol. Also, plasma concentrations of oestradiol and progesterone were negatively correlated In brief, assessment of the blood flow of the POF is a non‐invasive and reliable indicator of its functional competence as compared to the POF diameter.

小型猪复合麻醉剂对小型猪血流动力学及血浆中肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统的影响

为了探讨小型猪复合麻醉剂对小型猪血流动力学的影响及其作用机制,选用14头中国实验用小型猪肌肉注射小型猪复合麻醉剂(0.15 mL·kg-1),并在注药前及注射药后5、10、30、45、60、80、100、120 min进行无创血压、心率(HR)的监测;并同步采取前腔静脉血样,采用放免法检测肾素(PRA)、血管紧张素(AⅡ)和醛固酮(ALD)活性/含量.试验结果表明:无创血压、HR主要是在注药后5～10 min及80 min时出现明显的改变(P<0.01或P<0.05).PRA、AⅡ和ALD与收缩压(SBP)、舒张压(DBP)、平均动脉压(MAP)及HR的变化趋势大致相似,且它们之间存在着一定的相关性,其中以SBP、DBP、MAP表现得明显.由此可以得出:PRA、A Ⅱ和ALD参与了小型猪复合麻醉剂引起的小型猪血流动力学变化过程,肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统的变化可能是该复合制剂引起血流动力学变化的主要原因之一.

Anatomy of the Thoracic Splanchnic Nerves in Pigs

The anatomical features of the autonomous nerves, including the greater, lesser and least splanchnic nerves, were examined in 4 female and 4 male adult pigs (Sus scrofa). The origin and course of these nerves were examined with regard to sex and the side of the body. The greater splanchnic nerve was present in all of the animals included in the study, whereas the lesser splanchnic nerve was present at a rate of 87.5% on the right side and 75% on the left side of the median plane. On the other hand, the least splanchnic nerve was present on the right side at a rate of 62.5% and on the left side at a rate of 37.5%. The greater, lesser and least splanchnic nerves on the right side of the median plane were determined to originate from a more cranial location. Furthermore, these nerves were observed to be longer and larger on the right side in comparison with the left side. Evaluation of the findings revealed no significant difference between both sides of the median plane with regard to the origin, course and dimensions of these nerves. Similarly, no significant difference was detected between sexes.
