深色有隔内生真菌（DSE）功能和重金属耐性机制研究进展

重金属污染具有滞留时间久、难恢复和难治理等特点,重金属污染土壤修复备受关注。深色有隔内生真菌（Dark septateendophytes,DSE）可与多种植物建立良好的共生关系,其在促进植物生长、与植物联合共生增强植物对重金属的耐性机制及修复重金属污染土壤方面发挥着重要作用。为系统阐述DSE功能及其对重金属耐性机制,本文综述了DSE的结构特征及定植规律,其促进宿主植物生长的作用机制,重点分析了重金属胁迫下DSE的应答机制（吸附螯合、调控基因表达、抗氧化应激和“区室化”作用等）,总结了DSE-植物共生体系在修复重金属污染土壤中的应用现状和前景,以期为DSE在重金属污染环境中的应用提供理论参考。     

青霉酸毒性研究进展

青霉酸是圆弧青霉代谢产物的主要成分。现已证明,青霉酸对各种动物具有毒性,主要引起心脏、肝脏和肾脏等器官的损伤,并具有潜在致癌性。青霉酸在饲料中的含量很高,而且污染极其广泛。因此,研究青霉酸的毒性、中毒机理及与其他毒素的联合作用,对保证饲料卫生和动物健康具有很重要的意义,该文就青霉酸的器官毒性、细胞毒性、分子毒性及联合毒性的研究进行综述。     

紫花苜蓿细胞质雄性不育系相关microRNA的鉴定

紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativa L.）是一种多年生豆科苜蓿属牧草,利用紫花苜蓿细胞质雄性不育系育种有着重要意义,相关microRNA的鉴定工作是研究其分子机制的重要内容。本试验以培育的紫花苜蓿细胞质雄性不育系MSGN1A及其同型保持系MSGN1B的花蕾为试验材料,采用small RNA测序技术对MSGN1A及MSGN1B在花药发育阶段的鉴定差异表达microRNA以及差异表达microRNA靶基因功能进行注释。结果表明：共计检测到1 478个miRNA,其中known miRNA 1 351个,novel miRNA 127个;筛选出差异表达miRNA 130个,包括90个上调表达的miRNA和40个下调表达的miRNA;差异表达micro RNA靶基因主要涉及的通路有：“代谢过程”、“细胞过程”、“信号生物过程”、“植物激素信号传导”、“氧化磷酸化”和“淀粉蔗糖代谢”等。差异表达microRNA靶基因的功能主要是调控花药的发育,其次是调控花期以及信号传导,而差异表达microRNA靶向的转录因子中多为控制花期、花药发育和信号传导等过程的因子,对不育系的败育起到一定的影响。     

Stimulated esophageal groove closure in adult goats

In healthy adult goats, closure of the esophageal groove was induced by thirst, IV administered vasopressin, and intracarotid administration of hypertonic NaCl solutions. The efficiency of stimulation was tested directly by visual inspection of the course taken by orally administered solutions through a ruminal or abomasal fistula, palpation of the lips of the esophageal groove through a ruminal fistula, and indirectly by following the glucose dynamics in the blood after oral administration of glucose solution. Esophageal groove closure was observed during drinking after a 48-hour period of water deprivation. Intracarotid administration of 1.5 ml of a saturated solution or 10.5 ml of a 1.5% solution of NaCl also stimulated groove closure; however, groove closure stimulated by administration of vasopressin is the most satisfactory procedure for passing compounds of therapeutic importance directly from the cardiac orifice to the abomasum.     

Comparative fluorescein angiography of the normal sheep and goat ocular fundi

Fluorescein angiography without sedative or anesthetic agents was evaluated in 20 normal goats and 20 normal sheep. All of the angiographic phases were observed using 20 mg/kg fluorescein IV in both species. Fundus fluorescein angiography results revealed wide stars of Winslow in the tapetal fundus, central or marginal flow during the first part of the arterial phase, delayed filling of the focal areas in the choroid near the optic disc that often coincided with others in the disc, and lack of evidence of the 'striate area' in the tapetal fundi. In goats, the angiographic times were 6.54+/-1.25 s for the arterial phase (TA), 7.80+/-1.37 s for the arterio-venous phase (TAV), and 14.13+/-2.01 s for the venous phase (TV). I1: 1.30+/-0.30 s (time elapsing between TA and TAV), and I2: 6.20+/-1.60 s (time elapsing between TAV and TV). In sheep, times were 9.54+/-2.18 s TA, 11.73+/-2.10 s TAV, and 20.86+/-2.74 s TV. I1: 2.04+/-0.75 s and I2: 8.98+/-2.47 s, respectively. Due to the large size of the fundic vessels in sheep and goats, fluorescein angiography of the retinal vasculature can facilitate the study of the different vascular diseases in these species.
