Ameliorative Effects of Oyster Protein Hydrolysates on Cadmium-Induced Hepatic Injury in Mice

Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental toxicant that can cause severe hepatic injury. Oyster protein hydrolysates (OPs) have potential effects on preventing liver disease. In this study, thirty mice were randomly divided into five groups: the control, Cd, Cd + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, 100 mg/kg), and low/high dose of OPs-treatment groups (100 mg/kg or 300 mg/kg). After continuous administration for 7 days, the ameliorative effect of OPs on Cd-induced acute hepatic injury in Cd-exposed mice was assessed. The results showed that OPs significantly improved the liver function profiles (serum ALT, AST, LDH, and ALP) in Cd-exposed mice. Histopathological analysis showed that OPs decreased apoptotic bodies, hemorrhage, lymphocyte accumulation, and inflammatory cell infiltration around central veins. OPs significantly retained the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px, and decreased the elevated hepatic MDA content in Cd-exposed mice. In addition, OPs exhibited a reductive effect on the inflammatory responses (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and inhibitory effects on the expression of inflammation-related proteins (MIP-2 and COX-2) and the ERK/NF-κB signaling pathway. OPs suppressed the development of hepatocyte apoptosis (Bax, caspase-3, and Blc-2) and the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in Cd-exposed mice. In conclusion, OPs ameliorated the Cd-induced hepatic injury by inhibiting oxidative damage and inflammatory responses, as well as the development of hepatocyte apoptosis via regulating the ERK/NF-κB and PI3K/AKT-related signaling pathways.     

金黄色葡萄球菌α-溶血素的研究进展

目的α-溶血素在金黄色葡萄球菌(金葡菌)肺炎的感染过程中起着非常重要的作用,可作为治疗金葡菌肺炎的新靶标。因此,研究百里香酚对金葡菌α-溶血素表达的影响具有重要意义。方法测定最小抑菌质量浓度(MIC)和生长曲线并进行了溶血试验、蛋白免疫印迹分析、荧光定量PCR以及细胞毒性试验。结果百里香酚对金葡菌USA300的MIC为256 μg/mL,亚抑菌质量浓度的百里香酚(32 μg/mL)可下调金葡菌hla和RNAIII的转录水平,降低α-溶血素的表达,对溶血素介导的肺癌上皮细胞A549损伤具有保护作用。结论百里香酚具有成为新型抗金葡菌感染药物的潜力。

不同贮藏条件鸡蛋的脂类过氧化作用

本文以ＴＢＡ光度法分析了不同贮藏条件下鸡蛋脂类的过氧化作用,并分析了温度、氧对过氧化作用的影响。结果表明,在贮藏条件下,鸡蛋蛋黄中伴有明显的脂类过氧化过程。脂类过氧化物（ＬＰＯ）的水平随贮藏时间的延长而不断增加（Ｐ＜０．０１）,但蛋清中的ＬＰＯ在贮藏过程中没有明显的变化。低温和缺氧可明显抑制鸡蛋脂类的过氧化作用（Ｐ＜０．０１）。     

Three novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms of MBL1 gene in Chinese native cattle and their associations with milk performance traits

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern recognizing serum protein, participates in the innate immune system of mammals as an opsonin. In humans, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MBL2 gene were found to cause various innate immune dysfunctions. In the present study, we discovered three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the MBL1 gene in Chinese native cattle and analyzed their associations with milk traits. By screening the genetic variation of MBL1 in 1053 individuals of three Chinese native cattle breeds including China Holstein, Luxi Yellow and Bohai Black using created restriction site–polymerase chain reaction (CRS–PCR), PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) and DNA sequencing techniques, three new SNPs, g.855G>A, g.2651G>A and g.2686T>C, were found to have allele frequencies of 0–12.65%, 24.07–42.39% and 56.95–73.68%, respectively. While SNP g.855G>A is located within intron ?, the other two SNPs reside in the exon II region with one mutation being non-synonymous (GTT (Val) > ATT (Ile)) and the other synonymous (GCT (Ala) > GCC (Ala)). Among the 596 Chinese Holstein cattle with at least 3 lactation Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) records, eight different haplotypes and 19 genotype combinations were detected. Statistical analyses revealed no correlation between either g.855G>A or g.2686T>C and somatic cell score (SCS), however significant association was found between g.2651G>A and SCS, suggesting a possible role of this SNP in the host response against mastitis. Our data also suggested that the combined genotypes of GGC/AAC with the lowest SCS, AAT/AAT with the highest protein content and AGC/AGC with the highest 305-d milk yield were favorable combinations for mastitis resistance and milk production traits. Therefore, GGC/AAC, AAT/AAT and AGC/AGC can be used as possible candidates for marker-assisted selection in the dairy cattle breeding program.     

狗牙根草坪冬季盖播黑麦草的可行性研究

用2种黑麦草在广州赛马会高尔夫球练习场的狗牙根草坪上进行了冬季盖播可行性试验。结果表明，冬季盖播黑麦草后，盖播处理区的狗牙根草坪同没有盖播的对照区草坪相比，绿期延长，同时其它坪用性状也明显提高，因而证明，在广州地区的狗牙根草坪上用黑麦草进行了加绿盖播是完全可行而必要的。同时试验结果表明，草坪型黑麦草盖播草坪的坪用性状远远好于牧草型黑麦草的盖播处理。此外，合理的施肥和播量等因素也将直接影响盖播草坪的冬季坪用性状以及夏枯时狗牙根草坪的恢复生长。播量以20g/m^2最为理想，可根据建植和管理水平酌情增减。生长前期以高施肥（90g/m^2）为宜，夏枯前后的过渡阶段，以低施肥（45g/m^2）为佳。
