Multi‐channel visual evoked potential as an ancillary tool to diagnose intraorbital optic nerve lesions

Multi‐channel visual evoked potential (MVEP) recording method was used to assist in diagnosing a 4‐month‐old Chinese Albino rabbit with an intraorbital mass. Subcutaneous MVEP of its both eyes were recorded simultaneously using 16 electrodes (4 × 4) multi‐channel array. Analysis of the cortical potential landscapes (CPL) showed that the conduction function of right eye was remarkably impaired in terms of decreased amplitudes and prolonged latencies. Specific side‐dominant distribution asymmetry of the decreased MVEP amplitudes indicated that the temporal side of the optic nerve (ON) was severely involved. Overall prolonged latencies of the CPL without side differences suggested that the functional impairment could have been caused by the mechanical compression exerted by an intraorbital mass. Surgical removal procedures confirmed that the mass was located temporally to the ON. Pathological examination provided a final diagnosis of a giant polycystic mucocele. Beyond its significance as a standard tool to assess functional changes of the visual pathway, MVEP recordings might assist locating intraorbital lesions that involve the ON by careful analysis of abnormal CPLs.

本实验探讨了检测球虫酯等广谱抗球虫药物快速、灵敏的检测方法,本文采用玻碳电极为工作电极,以伏安法检测了球虫酯的电化学行为。球虫酯在 1.54V处具有氧化峰电流,检测的线性范围为2.5×10-7～3.1×10-5mol/L,检测限为1.6×10-8mol/L,回收率达92.5%。当玻碳电极用Nafion修饰后,可显著提高检测的特异性及灵敏度,使检测下限达2.4×10-9mol/L。同时本实验对不同支持电解质溶液、pH值、断路富积时间对测定结果的影响及修饰电极的再生等进行了详细的探讨。     

蒜头果叶绿体基因组密码子偏好性分析

为了解蒜头果叶绿体基因组密码子的使用偏性,利用Codon W 1.4.2和CUSP软件对蒜头果叶绿体基因组中33个基因的密码子进行中性绘图,应用ENC−plot、PR2−plot绘图分析并确定了其最优密码子。结果表明：蒜头果叶绿体基因组密码子的第3位碱基GC含量为28.43%,远低于第1位（47.74%）和第2位（41.05%）,RSCU值大于1的密码子有30个,其中12个以A结尾,16个以U结尾,说明蒜头果叶绿体基因组的编码基因偏好以A和U结尾。GC₁₂和GC₃的相关系数为0.1646,相关性不显著,回归系数为0.0004;有效密码子数（ENC）范围为40.39～54.86,大于45的有25个,ENC比值主要分布在−0.05～0.05之外。蒜头果叶绿体基因组中的大部分基因分布在PR2平面图的下半部或右下半部,说明蒜头果叶绿体基因组密码子偏好性更多地受选择的影响,同时亦受其他因素的影响。蒜头果叶绿体基因组的最优密码子确定为UUU、UUA、GUA等18个。     

NaCl胁迫对板蓝根种子萌发的影响

采用培养皿发芽法研究了NaCl胁迫处理对板蓝根种子萌发的影响。结果表明:板蓝根种子的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数均随NaCl浓度的升高而降低。对其全株的处理表明:胚根长、下胚轴长、胚根鲜重、下胚轴及子叶鲜重均随NaCl胁迫浓度的增大而呈下降趋势,脯氨酸(Pro)含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量以及电导率却随溶液NaCl浓度的增大而增大,呈明显的正相关关系。     

基于无人机影像的冠层光谱和结构特征监测甜菜长势

甜菜是中国北方地区重要的经济作物。快速、准确、高通量的获取甜菜的地上部和块根鲜质量、块根含糖率、叶绿素含量对甜菜生产具有重要意义。该研究采用无人机搭载数码和多光谱相机,获取甜菜叶丛快速生长期、块根及糖分增长期和糖分积累期的数码影像和多光谱影像,提取了冠层的结构特征和光谱特征。选择随机森林回归（Random Forest Regression,RFR）和偏最小二乘回归（Partial Least Squares Regression,PLSR）2种建模方法基于获取的冠层特征,构建甜菜全生育期的地上部和块根鲜质量、块根含糖率和SPAD（Soil and Plant Analyzer Development）值估算模型。研究结果表明,随机森林回归模型和偏最小二乘回归模型对地上部和块根鲜质量、含糖率都做出较好的预测,R2范围分别为0.9～0.94、0.88～0.9,rRMSE范围分别为7.6%～17%、8.8%～20%。对SPAD值的预测均较弱,R2分别为0.66和0.67。为了减小输入变量集的大小以及去掉对预测不敏感的变量,该研究采用置换重要性（Permutation Importance,PIMP）来筛选冠层光谱特征和结构特征中对预测有重要影响的变量。结果表明基于筛选出的重要性特征构建的随机森林回归模型和偏最小二乘回归模型对地上部和块根鲜质量、含糖率都做出较好的预测,R2范围分别为0.89～0.94、0.74～0.91,rRMSE范围分别为7.3%～19%、7.6%～19%。对SPAD值的预测均较弱,R2分别为0.65和0.68。进一步表明随机森林回归模型在精度上略好于偏最小二乘回归模型。同时基于PIMP筛选变量的方法在保持原有精度的同时能实现降低数据收集复杂性的目的。研究结果为基于无人机遥感技术快速、准确监测甜菜长势和估测块根类作物的根部活性物质提供了参考。     

沙棘7个亚种与26个重要品种的遗传多样性

利用14个微卫星标记分析了沙棘Hippophae rhamnoides 7个亚种和26个大果沙棘品种的遗传多样性,采用系统发育树和贝叶斯聚类方法分析了这些个体的聚类情况。结果显示:中国沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. sinensis和云南沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. yunnanensis遗传多样性水平最高,高加索沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. caucasica最低。系统发育树将所有个体聚为2个大支:亚洲分支和欧洲分支。大部分大果沙棘品种与亚洲的蒙古沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. mongolica聚为1支,少量个体位于亚洲分支和欧洲分支之间。贝叶斯聚类分析将所有个体划分为3组或7组:分3组时,中国沙棘和云南沙棘为一组,蒙古沙棘和大部分大果沙棘品种为一组,溪生沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. fluviatilis,高加索沙棘和海滨沙棘H. rhamnoides subsp. rhamnoides为一组;分7组时,除海滨沙棘由溪生沙棘组和高加索沙棘组共同构成外,其他亚种和大果沙棘品种各自为一组,并发现少量组间混合基因型。表明沙棘种下亚种间分化明显,亚洲和欧洲分布的沙棘亚种间的分化尤为明显;大果沙棘品种大部分源于蒙古沙棘亚种,个别品种可能为蒙古沙棘和欧洲沙棘亚种间的杂交后代。     

Beneficial effects of n-3HUFA enriched Artemia as food for larval palmetto bass (Morone saxatilis × M. chrysops)

The beneficial effects of feeding n−3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA ≥ 20 carbon fatty acids with three or more double bonds) to palmetto bass (striped bass × white bass) larvae, 4–30 days of age, were studied using Artemia diets enriched with six n-3HUFA levels. Dietary n-3HUFA concentrations were < 0.03% (control diet), 0.33%, 0.63%, 0.87%, 1.26%, and 2.27% of dry-wt Artemia. Larval n-3HUFA contents were reduced at a faster rate with decreasing dietary n-3HUFA intake, and were significantly different by 30 days posthatch (4–20 mg g⁻¹ dry-wt fish). Starved larvae selectively conserved endogenous n-3HUFA reserves, indicating an essential role of n-3HUFA in larval development. Mass mortality in the control and 0.33% n-3HUFA diets occurred at metamorphosis (26–28 days posthatch). At harvest, all fish, except those fed the two highest n-3HUFA diets, suffered from handling stress (shock syndrome) with increasing severity (25 to 100%) at decreasing dietary n-3HUFA intake. Recovery from shock syndrome was 100% at the 0.63% and 0.87% n-3HUFA diets, 63% at the 0.33% n-3HUFA diet and 0% at the control diet. Post-harvest survival was similar among the four highest dietary n-3HUFA groups (64–73%), whereas the two lowest n-3HUFA groups differed significantly (0 and 37%). Growth promotion was evident with increased dietary n-3HUFA intake as fish fed the highest n-3HUFA diet were twice the size of those fed the control diet (99 vs 52 mg wet-wt). Final fish sizes at the three highest n-3HUFA diets were similar. Given similar culture conditions, a minimum dietary n-3HUFA intake of 1.26% of dry-wt Artermia is recommended to avoid handling stress and promote growth in larval palmetto bass.     

The improvement of growth,digestive enzyme activity and disease resistance of white shrimp by the dietary citric acid

A 45-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary citric acid on growth, digestive enzyme and disease resistance of white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Shrimp with initial body weight of 5.57 ± 0.21 g were fed with basal diet supplemented with 0.0 g kg^?1 (control), 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 g kg^?1 citric acid. Results showed that weight gain was increased by 15.9 % and feed conversion ratio was decreased by 0.17 by 2.0 g kg^?1 dietary citric acid compared with control group (P < 0.05). Intestinal protease activity of shrimp fed 2.0 g kg^?1 citric acid was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of control group. No significant difference was found in intestinal amylase activity among treatments (P > 0.05). The activities of serum phenoloxidase, superoxide dismutase and lysozyme in 2.0 and 3.0 g kg^?1 citric acid group were significantly higher, and accumulative mortalities of the two groups on the fourth day after injection of Vibrio alginolyticus were significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05). Results above demonstrated that dietary citric acid could improve growth performance, immunity and resistance against V. alginolyticus. The supplementation level of citric acid in diet was suggested to be 2.0–3.0 g kg^?1 for white shrimp.
