稚蚕人工饲料中几种微量元素的添加效果

测定桑叶粉及基础饲料中钛、铁、硒、稀土元素的含量，分别为６１～９２、５２０～１０００、０．３８４、５．５ｍｇ／ｋｇ和３７、６５０～７１０、０．４１４、５．４ｍｇ／ｋｇ。在基础饲料中以６．７～５２．２ｍｇ钛／ｋｇ饲料剂量添加柠檬酸钛，对１～２龄蚕的生长发育未见有促进作用；以柠檬酸混合稀土、柠檬酸钟、柠檬酸镧形式向基础饲料中加入１７．４～１４１．６ｍｇ／ｋｇ饲料的混合稀土或其单体元素铈和镧，其生长发育没有促进而略受抑制。稚蚕饲料中添加１％磷酸高铁（相当于２４００ｍｇ／ｋｇ饲料），稚蚕期的生长发育有明显促进，促进程度随添加时间的延长而进一步加大，这种促进作用不是通过改变饲料适口性来实现的。     

广东省部分猪场细环病毒感染状况

细环病毒（TTV）目前在全世界的猪群中广泛存在。为了调查其在广东省猪群流行情况,我们运用PCR方法对广东省不同地方猪场和散养户送检的445份血清进行了检测。结果表明：TTV总的阳性率为68.1%（303/445）,其中TTV1阳性率为43.1%（192/445）,TTV2阳性率为24.9%（111/445）。TTV1的阳性率高于TTV2的阳性率,且猪场送检样品阳性率高于散养户。TTV1和TTV2存在混合感染,猪场样品混合阳性率为23.1%（88/381）,散养户样品混合阳性率为1.6%（1/64）。几份阳性样品测序和进化分析显示,它们分别属于TTV1和TTV2。调查结果表明TTV在广东猪群中已经广泛存在。     

Effects of Bacillus subtilis B10 spores on viability and biological functions of murine macrophages

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Bacillus subtilis B10 spores on the viability and biological functions of murine macrophage. RAW 264.7 cells were stimulated both with and without B. subtilis B10 spores for 12 h. Then cell viability was determined to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of B. subtilis B10 spores to the cells, and the activities of acid phosphatase (ACP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), the production of nitric oxide (NO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines were measured to analyze the functions of macrophages. The results showed that B. subtilis B10 spores were not harmful to RAW 264.7 cells and they also strongly enhanced the activities of ACP and LDH (P < 0.01), remarkably increased NO and iNOS production (P < 0.01), and significantly stimulated the secretion of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α), interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ), interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β), IL‐6, IL‐8 and IL‐12 (P < 0.01) while they reduced anti‐inflammatory cytokine IL‐10 (P < 0.01). The outcomes suggest that B. subtilis B10 spores are not only safe for murine macrophages, but also can activate these cells and enhance their immune function. The above findings suggest that B. subtilis B10 spores are potentially probiotic.     

爱拔益加肉鸡和北京油鸡体液免疫及细胞免疫功能的比较研究

试验选用1日龄健康爱拔益加(AA)肉鸡和北京油鸡公雏各72只。检测新城疫抗体效价,牛血清白蛋白抗体水平,外周血T、B淋巴细胞转化率以及T淋巴细胞亚群等指标。结果表明:北京油鸡二免后第7天的新城疫抗体效价和二免后第6天的牛血清白蛋白抗体水平都比AA肉鸡的高,但均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。北京油鸡的脂多糖(LPS)刺激指数始终比AA肉鸡的高(P>0.05);21日龄时,北京油鸡的刀豆素(A ConA)刺激指数、CD4+、CD8+T淋巴细胞数量以及CD4+/CD8+都比AA肉鸡的高,但均无显著性差异(P>0.05);而42日龄时,AA肉鸡的ConA刺激指数、CD4+、CD8+T淋巴细胞数量以及CD4+/CD8+却高于北京油鸡(P<0.05)。本试验结果提示,AA肉鸡和北京油鸡的体液免疫和细胞免疫功能之间存在一定的差异,但差异不显著。     

植酸酶包埋后酶活和热稳定性变化的规律研究

为了了解植酸酶在包埋状态下酶活及酶性的变化,分别对酶的释放情况和热稳定性进行了研究.结果表明,随着时间的延长,包埋酶释放出的酶活逐渐上升(P＜0.01),60min时达到最大值;而未包埋酶释放出的酶活逐渐下降(P＜0.01),60 min时达到最小值.包埋酶和未包埋酶在30、40、50、60、70、80、90和100℃的条件下,随着温度的升高,残留的植酸酶活力下降(P＜0.01).对于包埋酶,当温度升高到70℃时,植酸酶相对酶活仍保持在93%(P＞0.05);当温度升高到80℃时,植酸酶的相对酶活才明显下降(P＜0.01),不过在100℃时,仍能保持67%的酶活(P＜0.01).对于未包埋酶,当温度升高到60℃时,植酸酶相对酶活明显下降(P＜0.01);当温度升高到100℃时,植酸酶相对酶活仅有23%(P＜0.01).通过在统一温度条件下,对包埋酶和未包埋酶处理组的相对酶活的对比发现,在50℃以下时,二者差异不显著,当温度超过60℃时,包埋酶的相对酶活极显著高于未包埋酶.     

论中国的肉牛育种问题

中国是世界养牛大国，也是第三大牛肉生产国，然而还未有自己培训的专门化肉牛品种。肉牛育种问题十分迫切。中国的肉牛育种有良好的黄牛选育基础，特别是母牛基础较好。着重肉用性能选育、瞄准国际先进水平是由役用黄牛培育专门化肉牛的基本技术路线。按肉用指数（BPI）衡量，目前较多黄牛品种还处于“役肉兼用”阶段，个别是黄牛品种（母牛）可达到“肉役兼用”水平。“本品种选育、适量导血”可能是培育我国特色专门化肉牛新品种的较快而稳妥的途径。育种核心目标可以包括保留黄牛若干特征性状，但关键指标是使其BPI达到一定水平；公牛5．6，母牛4．0，以参于国际竞争，并支撑我国肉牛产业持续、健康发展。培育条件是选育肉牛新品种的极大限制因素，应大力加强。     

Marek's disease resistant/susceptible MHC haplotypes in Xiayan chickens identified on the basis of BLB2 PCR-RFLP and BLB2/BF2 sequence analyses

1. The aim was to analyse the variability of the BLB2/BF2 genes of Xiayan chickens to identify homozygous birds with resistance or susceptibility to Marek's disease (MD).

2. The experiment used two lines: birds from a common line were divided into Group A (unvaccinated) and Group B (vaccinated with herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT)); and birds from an MD-resistant line were divided into Group C (unvaccinated) and Group D (vaccinated with HVT). They were challenged intra-abdominally with Marek's disease virus (MDV) and genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes so that polymorphism of the BLB2/BF2 genes could be analysed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and nucleotide sequence analysis.

3. A 374-bp fragment of the BLB2 gene was amplified from the samples and, after digesting with restriction enzymes Alu I, Cai I, Cfr I, Hin1 I, Hinf I and Rsa I for RFLP analysis, the 6 electrophoretic patterns were analysed. Seven homozygous genotypes were found and used tentatively to identify alleles of the BLB2 gene.

4. A 765-bp fragment of the BF2 gene was amplified from the 7 samples for cloning and sequencing.

5. Six homozygous birds were confirmed from the sequenced BLB2/BF2 gene. Four birds were resistant to MD. Three birds had identical nucleotide sequences and were highly homologous with MHC haplotype B⁶, which is MD resistant. One bird had high homology with the highly MD-resistant B²¹ haplotype, and two birds were susceptible and highly homologous to the B¹⁹ haplotype, which is highly MD susceptible.
