超氧化物歧化酶模拟物对氧化应激IPEC-J2细胞抗氧化性能的影响

试验旨在探究在H₂O₂诱导的氧化应激状态下,超氧化物歧化酶模拟物（SODm）对仔猪空肠上皮细胞系（IPEC-J2）的保护作用。利用MTT法筛选出构建氧化应激模型H₂O₂的适宜浓度;将IPEC-J2细胞分别用0、0.05、0.5、5、50、500、2 000 U/mL SODm进行培养,利用MTT法分别在2、4、8、12 h时测定各组细胞存活率,筛选出SODm作用的适宜浓度和时间;根据构建的氧化应激模型和SODm适宜浓度和时间,将IPEC-J2细胞随机分为空白组、模型组、SODm处理组（SODm_0.5、SODm₅、SODm₅₀）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）处理组（SOD_0.5、SOD₅、SOD₅₀）,分别测定各组细胞存活率、活性氧（ROS）含量及细胞内SOD、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）活性及丙二醛（MDA）含量和总抗氧化能力（T-AOC）。结果表明：①H₂O₂构建细胞氧化应激模型的适宜浓度是1.0 mmol/mL。②当不同浓度SODm分别作用4、8、12 h时,0.5~50 U/mL SODm组细胞存活率显著高于空白组（P<0.05）;且8 h时存活率最高,在12 h时处于下降趋势。③除空白组外,SODm₅和SOD₅预处理的IPEC-J2存活率显著高于其他组（P<0.05）;且SODm和SOD组中细胞ROS含量显著低于模型组（P<0.05）;模型组与空白组相比,均显著降低了SOD、GSH-Px活性和T-AOC水平,提高了MDA含量（P<0.05）;与模型组相比,所有SODm和SOD处理组均显著提高了SOD、GSH-Px活性和T-AOC水平,降低了MDA含量（P<0.05）,同时SODm₅₀组T-AOC水平显著低于SOD₅₀组（P<0.05）。综上,SODm对H₂O₂诱导氧化损伤状态下IPEC-J2具有保护作用。

Rodent abundance triggered switch between the relative mutualism and predation in a rodent–seed system of the subtropical island forest

Density-dependent non-monotonic species interactions are important in maintaining ecosystem stability and function, but empirical evidences are still rare. Rodents, as both seed dispersers and seed predators, have dual effects on plant regeneration and may result in non-monotonic rodent-plant interactions. According to the non-monotonic models, the relative positive or negative effects of rodents on seedling establishment can be measured based on the positive or negative association of seedling recruitment rate and rodent abundance. In this study, we investigated the fates of acorns of Quercus serrata by tracking tagged seeds on 21 fragmented subtropical islands in the Thousand Island Lake, China. We found that the proportion of germinated seeds of all released seeds showed a dome-shaped association with rodent abundance per seed. The proportion of removed seeds and cached seeds showed a saturated- and a weak dome-shaped association with rodent abundance per seed, respectively. Our results demonstrated a clear empirical evidence that rodent abundance per seed triggered a switch between the relative mutualism and predation in a rodent–seed system. Our study implied that the observed non-monotonic interactions between plants and animals may play a significant role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. We appeal for more investigations of the complex non-monotonic interactions in various ecosystems.     

Inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to the epithelial barrier dysfunction induced by sodium oxalate in canine renal epithelial cells

High oxalate consumption has been recognized as a risk factor for renal calcium oxalate stones in companion animals (dogs and cats). However, the cellular signaling involved in oxalate-induced dysfunction in renal tubular epithelial cells remains not fully elucidated. In this study, Mardin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, an epithelial cell line derived from canine kidney tubule, were tested for cell proliferation activity and barrier function after being exposed to sodium oxalate (NaOx). Further, the involvement of Wnt/β-catenin in NaOx-induced renal epithelial barrier dysfunction was evaluated. MDCK cells treated with NaOx exhibited reduction in cell proliferation and migration. Besides, NaOx exposure led to a decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance and an increase in paracellular permeability. The deleterious effects of NaOx on epithelial barrier function were related to the suppressed abundance of tight junction proteins including zonula occludens, occludin, and claudin-1. Of note, protein levels of β-catenin and phosphorylated (p)-β-catenin (Ser552) in MDCK cells were repressed by NaOx, indicating inhibitory effects on Wnt/β-catenin signaling. An inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) by SB216763 enhanced the abundance of β-catenin and p-β-catenin (Ser552), and protected against epithelial barrier dysfunction in NaOx-treated MDCK cells. The results revealed a critical role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the epithelial barrier function of MDCK cells. Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling might be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of oxalate-linked renal stones.

一起未经执业兽医注册从事诊疗活动案引发的思考

2017年成都市办理的一起未经兽医执业注册而进行犬只声带切除的行政处罚案件,引发了笔者对动物诊疗机构监督执法中"动物诊疗"范畴界定、动物诊疗许可证申请对象探究、"一事不再罚"原则的适用、"责令停业诊疗活动"与"责令停产停业"区别等问题的思考。本文以法学理论和相关法律规定为基础,对成都市动物诊疗机构执法实践的疑点与难点进行分析,提出执法人员应更准确适用法律法规,并呼吁尽快建立全国执业兽医查询系统的建议。

新疆沙漠桑持水力的筛选研究

为获得生长在沙漠深处不同类型桑树基因资源的持水力差异信息,采用自然脱水法,对黑桑、白桑、粉桑和雄桑等不同类型的20份沙漠桑基因资源的失水过程进行了测定;研究结果表明,沙漠桑树分为强持水型、中等持水型和弱持水型,黑桑、白桑和粉桑类型桑树的持水能力较雄桑类型桑树强;根据枝条、叶片等同器官持水能力强弱不同,多数沙漠桑叶片的持水能力不太强,初步认为枝条的持水能力较叶片强。     

猕猴脾脏中雌激素受体的表达及其性别差异

选取健康成年雌雄猕猴各3只,采用免疫组织化学SP法研究了雌激素受体(ER)在脾脏中的分布,观察猕猴脾脏中ER的表达及性别差异.结果显示,ER免疫阳性反应物主要分布于脾脏红髓区,脾小结相对较少,而动脉周围淋巴鞘、血管内皮、脾小粱等组织结构内仅有少量分布.ER阳性产物主要定位于细胞核中.部分存在于胞浆和胞膜上.雌性猕猴脾脏中的阳性细胞数量显著高于雄性,表达强度也较雄性强.这表明,ER参与雌激素对脾脏的免疫功能调控.ER阳性产物分布特点表明雌激素发挥作用主要是通过经典基因组机制,同时也通过非基因组机制途径.而ER表达的明显性别差异提示体内雌激素水平可能对脾脏中B淋巴细胞的功能有正调节作用.
