Study on Expression Difference of IGFBP-5 Gene in Different Tissues of Kazakh and Yanqi Horses

The study aimed to explore the mRNA expression pattern of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5) gene in different tissues of Kazakh and Yanqi horses.The expression of IGFBP-5 gene in different tissues of heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,small intestine,large intestine,cecum,intercostal muscles,longissimus dorsi muscles,brachialis muscle and gluteus in two horses were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR and compared the mRNA expression in the same tissues of two breeds.The results showed that the expression of IGFBP-5 in longissimus dorsi muscle and brachialis muscle of two breeds were significantly higher than other tissues including heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,small intestine,large intestine and cecum (P<0.05),and was the lowest in large intestine.The expression of IGFBP-5 in kidney,small intestine,large intestine,cecum,longissimus dorsi muscle and brachialis muscles of Yanqi horse were higher than in the same part of Kazakh horse,and among those in longissimus dorsi muscle and large intestine of Yanqi horse were extremely significantly higher than in the same part of Kazakh horse (P<0.01),and in small intestine and cecum of Yanqi horse were significantly higher than in the same part of Kazakh horse (P<0.05).The test was for further researching the biological function of IGFBP-5 gene,and it could provide a theoretical basis for genetic improvement of production performance of horse in our country.     

高温胁迫对丹参光合生理指标及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

以丹参为试材,采用土培盆栽法,于第1茬花开前进行高温胁迫处理,研究了高温胁迫对丹参生理指标、光合及叶绿素荧光特性的影响。结果表明:随着高温胁迫时间的延长,丹参叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性呈上升趋势,而过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性呈下降趋势;丙二醛(MDA)、游离脯氨酸(Pro)含量均呈上升趋势,且与胁迫时间呈极显著多项式关系。净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)均呈下降趋势,且各指标均与胁迫时间呈负相关。最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ潜在光化学活性(Fv/Fo)、有效光化学量子产量(Fv′/Fm′)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)和表观光合电子传递速率(ETR)均呈下降趋势,且各指标均与胁迫时间呈负相关,非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)呈先上升后下降趋势。研究表明,高温(40℃)对丹参生理指标、光合及叶绿素荧光特性有较大的影响,且各功能指标共同作用,以减轻植株所受伤害。

以野生蝉花菌种为试材,采用液体培养法,研究了碳源、氮源、微量营养和pH对野生蝉花菌种生长的影响,以期为标准化、规模化、产业化人工栽培蝉花提供优质种源。结果表明:将野生蝉花菌株接种到液体培养基中,在19℃,转速120r·min-1恒温振荡摇床内培养,蝉花菌种的最适液体培养基组分为可溶性淀粉20g,奶粉10g,磷酸二氢钾0.5g,硫酸镁1g,维生素B1210片,水1 000mL,最适pH 5.0~6.0。     

弱光胁迫对七个辣椒组合的生长发育及产量的影响

以驻马店市农业科学院园艺所近年来培育的7个辣椒组合(品种)为试材,利用遮阳网模拟弱光胁迫,调查了在弱光胁迫下辣椒植物学性状及产量性状,以株高、茎粗作为参考指标,以叶面积、比叶干质量作为重要指标,以产量、叶绿素a/b值作为主要指标,对其弱光耐受性进行了综合评价。结果表明:弱光逆境胁迫导致辣椒植株增高、茎秆变细、叶面积增大、比叶干质量降低、产量及叶绿素a/b值均降低;且叶绿素a/b值与产量的变化幅度基本一致,该方法可用来鉴定辣椒不同组合的耐弱光性能。

In vitro effects of reactive oxygen metabolites, with and without flunixin meglumine, on equine colonic mucosa

OBJECTIVE: To determine effects of reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs), with and without flunixin meglumine, on equine right ventral colon (RVC) in vitro. ANIMALS: 18 healthy horses and ponies. PROCEDURES: In 3 groups of 6 animals each, short-circuit current and conductance were measured in RVC mucosa in Ussing chambers. The 3 groups received physiologic saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, IV, 10 minutes before euthanasia and tissue incubation in Krebs-Ringer-bicarbonate (KRB) solution; flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IV) 10 minutes before euthanasia and tissue incubation in KRB solution; or physiologic saline solution, IV, 10 minutes before euthanasia and incubation in KRB solution with 2.7 x 10(5)M flunixin meglumine. Incubation conditions included control (no addition) and ROM systems, including addition of 1 mM xanthine and 80 mU of xanthine oxidase (to produce the superoxide radical), 1 mM H(2)O(2), and 1 mM H(2)O(2) and 0.5 mM ferrous sulfate (to produce the hydroxyl radical). RESULTS: All ROMs that were added or generated significantly increased the short-circuit current except in tissues coincubated with flunixin meglumine, and they induced mild epithelial vacuolation and apoptosis, but did not disrupt the epithelium nor change conductance, lactate dehydrogenase release, or [(3)H]mannitol flux. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Responses to ROMs could be attributed to increased chloride secretion and inhibited neutral NaCl absorption in equine RVC, possibly by stimulating prostaglandin production. The ROMs examined under conditions of this study could play a role in prostaglandin-mediated colonic secretion in horses with enterocolitis without causing direct mucosal injury.     

Phylogenetic characterization of rabies virus isolates from Carnivora in Brazil

The incidence of canine rabies has been widely reported in Brazil, and new rabies virus (RV) variants, genetically similar to canine RV, have recently been isolated from foxes. In order to derive the epidemiological characteristics of Brazilian Carnivora RV, Brazilian RVs isolated from dogs, cats, and foxes were genetically analyzed. Brazilian Carnivora RV isolates were divided into 2 main lineages. The predominant lineage was found in dogs and cats, which included the Argentinean and Bolivian Carnivora RV isolates, and was extensively distributed throughout Brazil and surrounding countries. The other lineage consisted of three sublineages containing Brazilian dog and fox RV isolates, with the dog sublineages located on an internal branch of 2 fox sublineages, suggesting that RV transmission events might have occurred between foxes and dogs in the past. These results suggest that contact between dogs and wildlife has the potential to generate new rabies variants and that it is important to control RV infection cycles in both dogs and wildlife to prevent spread of rabies infection.
