Investigation of the relationship between SLA-1 and SLA-3 gene expression and susceptibility to Escherichia coli F18 in post-weaning pigs

Porcine post-weaning diarrhea and edema disease are principally caused by Escherichia coli strains that produce F18 adhesin. FUT1 genotyping and receptor binding studies divided piglets into E. coli F18-resistant and -sensitive groups, and the roles of SLA-1 and SLA-3 were investigated. SLA-1 and SLA-3 expression was detected in 11 pig tissues, with higher levels of SLA-1 in lung, immune tissues and gastrointestinal tract, and higher levels of SLA-3 also in lung and lymphoid tissues. Both genes were expressed higher in F18-resistant piglets, and their expression was positively correlated in different tissues; a negative correlation was observed in some tissues of F18-sensitive group, particularly in lung and lymphatic samples. Gene ontology and pathway analyses showed that SLA-1 and SLA-3 were involved in 37 biological processes, including nine pathways related to immune functions. These observations help to elucidate the relationship between SLA class I genes and E. coli F18-related porcine gastrointestinal tract diseases.

Review on Leaf Water Use Efficiency of Major Trees Species in Arid and Semi-Arid Area

The tree specie selection is the critical part in the process of vegetation restoration and reconstruction in arid and semi-arid areas.As a reliable indicator of drought resistance and water use characteristics of tree species,water use efficiency（WUE） has become a hotspot in the research on tree specie selection.This paper introduced the concept and correspondingly research method of leaf WUE and summarized the research progress of leaf WUE in terms of the variation in leaf WUE between species,positions in the canopy,and characteristics of temporal and spatial variation,its influence on environmental factors like illumination,moisture,temperature, CO₂ and O₃ concentrations.Furthermore,it put forward the problems currently existing in the research and prospected the trend of future research on leaf WUE.     

Application and Prospect of Organic Biocides in Timber Preservation

Organic biocides as timber preservatives have aroused more and more attention,because metal salts especially arsenic,chrome and so on, have been suspected to be poisonous to the soil and aquatic animals,as well as the disposal of preserved timber wastes.Therefore,a number of effective organic biocides have been selected to prevent wood or bamboo from decay,mildew, stain and so on.Most of these products have entered into the market.With people’s increasing awareness of the environmental protection,organic biocides will eventually play important roles in timber preservation in the future.This paper summarized the studies on application of organic biocides as wood or bamboo preservatives,including resistant mechanisms,commonly applied types and effects against wood or bamboo fungi,approaches to detecting the amount of organic biocides in timber and their influences on the environment.Based on the discussion above,the authors predicted the developing prospect of organic biocides in timber preservation.     

两种开胸术法建立犬右心衰模型的对比

通过4例胸骨正中手术通路和8例左胸侧壁手术通路,连接心电极导线至犬右心室,并与起搏器连接,维持高频率起搏3周,构建实验性心衰模型,观察两种开胸术的切口愈合情况、以及起搏前后临床表现。结果表明,通过开胸术给犬安装、连接快频率右心室起搏器,成功构建犬右心室心衰病理模型。左胸侧壁手术通路比胸骨正中手术通路更适合。     

表观健康猪群携带猪链球菌2型毒力因子的分布特征

为了研究钦州市猪链球菌2型(SS2)的毒力因子分布特征,采用多重PCR方法对从我市健康猪扁桃体分离的11株SS2相关毒力基因——荚膜多糖(Cps2J),溶菌酶释放蛋白(Mrp),胞外蛋白因子(EF),溶血素(Sly),进行毒力基因检测。检测结果显示:毒力基因型为Mrp+epf+Sly+共有8株,毒力基因型为Mrp+epf+Sly-共有1株,这两种毒力基因型可归为强毒力基因型,占此次健康猪源毒株的81.8%;另外Mrp-epf-Sly-共有2株,属于弱毒和无毒基因型,占健康猪源毒株的18.2%。通过结果分析,预示我市目前SS2的主要流行菌株是同时具有4种毒力因子的高致病性菌株。

Pharmacokinetic study of baicalein after oral administration in monkeys

Baicalein, a flavonoid originally isolated from the root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has numerous pharmacological activities. Up to now, several studies regarding the pharmacokinetic profiles of baicalein have been described, while there is no such study reported in monkey, the species which is more similar to human. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic profiles of baicalein after oral administration in monkeys. After orally administrating three doses of baicalein in monkeys, multi-peaks of the plasma concentration-time curves were observed and the non-linear pharmacokinetics for baicalein and its metabolite baicalin were found at doses of 50-500mg/kg. In order to calculate the absolute bioavailability, the intravenous pharmacokinetic study was also carried out after intravenous administration of 10mg/kg baicalein. The absolute bioavailability of baicalein in different doses was ranged from 13.1% to 23.0%. In this study, baicalein and baicalin were determined by LC-MS method. The chromatographic separation was performed on Agilent Poroshell 120 SB-C18 column (2.7μm, 2.1×50mm). Baicalein and baicalin were detected by single quadrupole mass spectrometer equipment with electrospray ionization interface with the selected ion monitoring mode. The assay was linear for both baicalein and baicalin with the correlation coefficients>0.99. The intra- and inter-day precisions for baicalein and baicalin were all less than 15% by relative standard deviation. The analytes were stable during samples storage and handling, and no matrix effects were observed. The method we developed in this study was sensitive, precise, stable and producible.
