Evaluation of Thermal Environment of Cowshed and Correlation Analysis Between Thermal Parameter and Physiological Parameter of Dairy Cows in Central Plain of Hebei

The purpose of this study was to evaluate thermal environment of cowshed in four seasons in central plain of Hebei,and analyze the correlation between the temperature parameters and physiological indexes of dairy cows.Three dairy cow houses with different building structures were selected,the thermal parameters (ambient temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH)) and physiological parameters (respiratory rate,rectal temperature and body surface temperature) were detected.The results showed that the Ta,RH and index of temperature and humidity (THI) changed significantly in four seasons (P<0.05),the average daily temperature in summer was the highest (28.59 ℃),and the average daily temperature in winter was the lowest (1.55 ℃).In summer,dairy cows were suffering from mild heat stress for 15.5 h every day,and from moderate heat stress for 6.0 h.In winter,dairy cows were under mild cold stress for an average of 12.0 h per day.The Ta and THI of three cowsheds in each season had no significant differece (P>0.05),except for that in winter.Compared with the cowshed with low wall or roller blind,the average Ta in the cowshed with only roof was 0.80-1.27 ℃ higher in summer and 1.36-1.84 ℃ lower in winter.In addition,the physiological parameters of dairy cows were extremely significantly higher in summer than those in other seasons (P<0.01).The respiration frequency or rectal temperature of cows among cowsheds in summer were significantly different (P<0.05),and the seasonal difference in body surface temperature was significant (P<0.05).Correlation analysis of thermal parameters and cow physiological parameters showed that the respiratory frequency,rectal temperature and body surface temperature were positively correlated with THI and Ta (P<0.05).However,there was no significant correlation between physiological parameters and RH (P>0.05).The results provided scientific basis for environment evaluation of cows,and physiological status of dairy cows were inferred according to environmental thermal parameters,which provided data for occurrence and early warning of stress.

Effect of nitric oxide on urotensin-Ⅱ expression in pulmonary arterioles of rats chronically exposed to hypoxia-hypercapnia

AIM: To investigate the roles of nitric oxide/L-arginine (NO/L-Arg) pathway and urotensin-Ⅱ (UⅡ) in the development of pulmonary hypertension induced by chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia in rats.METHODS: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=10): normal control group (A), hypoxia-hypercapnia+saline group (B), hypoxia-hypercapnia+L-Arg liposome group (C) and hypoxia-hypercapnia+N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) group (D).Contents of UⅡ, UⅡ mRNA and receptor of UⅡ (UT) mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were measured with immunohistochemistry analysis and in situ hybridization, respectively.Change of small pulmonary vascular microstructure was also investigated.RESULTS: (1) The mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and the weight ratio of right ventricle to left ventricle plus septum ［RV/(LV+S)］ in B and D groups were all higher than those in A group (respectively, P<0.05), with C group significantly lower than those in B group (respectively, P<0.01).(2) Light microscopy showed that the ratio of vessel wall area to total area (WA/TA) and the media thickness of pulmonary arterioles (PAMT) in B group were higher than those in A group (P<0.05), with C group significantly lower than those in B group.(3) The contents of UⅡ, UⅡ mRNA and UT mRNA in pulmonary arterioles in B and D groups were all higher than those in A group (respectively, P<0.01), while the expression of UⅡ and UⅡ mRNA in C group were lower than those in B group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The pathological process of pulmonary hypertension induced by chronic hypoxia-hypercapnia might be related to upregulation of UⅡ located in pulmonary arterioles, which might be partially inhibited by exogenous NO in rats.     

Correlation between the signal pathway IKK/NF-κB and the anti-oxidant activity in asthma rats and the modulation of Ginkgo biloba extract

AIM:To investigate the correlation between the signal pathway of IKK/NF-κB and the anti-oxidant activity in asthmatic rats and the modulation of Ginkgo biloba extract (Egb). METHODS:Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group (group C), asthmatic group (group A) and Egb group(group E). Asthma in rats was established by ovalbumin (OVA) challenge methods. The mRNA of IKKβ and the protein of NF-κB P65 in lung tissue were assessed by using in situ hybridization with oligonucleotide probe and immunohistochemisty, respectively. RESULTS:The expression of IKKβ mRNA and NF-κB P65 protein in group A were significantly increased when compared with group C (P＜0.01, respectively), but those data in group E were significantly decreased when compared with group A (P＜0.01, respectively). The concentrations of MDA in serum and BLAF in group A were significantly higher than those in control group (P＜0.01，respectively), but the concentrations of MDA in group E were significantly lower than those in group A (P＜0.01, respectively). The concentrations of GSH in group A were significantly lower than those in group C (P＜0.01, respectively), but the concentrations of GSH in group E were significantly higher than those in group A (P＜0.01, respectively). CONCLUSION:The expression of IKKβ mRNA and NF-κB P65 protein were increased significantly in asthmatic rats. This was possibly attributed to the decreased anti-oxidant activity. Egb increased the anti-oxidant activity and inhibited the activity of IKK/NF-κB.
