Quantitation of adenine nucleotides in equine colonic mucosal tissue using high performance liquid chromatography.

The objectives were to use high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to validate an established method for adenine nucleotide separation in equine colonic mucosal tissue, to determine the inherent variability in the tissue and extraction method, and to determine the stability of ATP, ADP, and AMP in the tissue with time. Equine colonic mucosal tissue obtained from a single horse was immediately submersed in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -70 degrees C. Samples were lyophilized, extracted, and separated by HPLC. The limit of quantitation was 0.05 microg/mL. The coefficient of variation for the instrument was less than 10% for all nucleotides measured. When the tissue was not homogenized prior to sampling, there were significant differences in adenine nucleotide content between samples. However, when the tissue was homogenized prior to analysis, these differences were no longer significant. There was no significant decrease in ATP, ADP, or AMP content over a 54-day analysis period.     

Transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus from persistently infected sows to contact controls.

The objective of this study was to determine if porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) could persist in non-pregnant sows and if persistently infected sows could transmit virus to naive contact controls. Twelve PRRSV-naive, non-pregnant sows (index sows) were infected with a field isolate of PRRSV and housed in individual isolation rooms for 42 to 56 days postinfection. Following this period, 1 naive contact sow was placed in each room divided by a gate allowing nose-to-nose contact with a single index sow. Index sows were not viremic at the time of contact sow entry. Virus nucleic acid was detected by polymerase chain reaction, and infectious virus was detected by virus isolation in sera from 3 of the 12 contact sows at 49, 56, and 86 days postinfection. All 3 infected contacts developed PRRSV antibodies. Virus nucleic acid was detected in tissues of all of the 12 index sows at 72 or 86 days postinfection. Nucleic acid sequencing indicated that representative samples from index and infected contacts were homologous (> 99%) to the PRRSV used to infect index sows at the onset of the study. This study demonstrates that PRRSV can persist in sows and that persistently infected sows can transmit virus to naive contact animals.

节瓜常温贮藏品质的变化

节瓜高产抗病,肉质清甜,嫩瓜和老熟瓜均可食用,老熟瓜耐贮性好,室温下即可贮藏2~3个月,与目前国内蔬菜贮藏保鲜常用的低温贮藏法相比,成本低、操作方便、保鲜期长。本试验研究了节瓜在常温贮藏过程中水分、可溶性糖、VC含量及风味品质的变化,以期找出节瓜常温贮藏的最佳贮藏期限。1材料与方法以广西主栽节瓜品种桂优1号(广西农业科学院蔬菜研究中心提供,粉皮类型)为试材,2003年2月20日定植,7月4日采收,取花后50d(天)无虫害、无机械损伤的老熟瓜40个,自然温度下置于通风室内架贮。在贮架上铺1层纸板,把瓜平放在架上,堆放2层,贮藏期间不进行…

红曲霉色素的提取

本实验确立了一种新的红曲霉色素提取方法:以红曲米为原料,乙醇为提取剂,得到的提取液再以正己烷提取分离。结果表明,此法所得的红曲霉色素是水溶性的,宜于用作食品添加剂。此外,还对影响提取的因素进行了探讨,并提供了最佳提取方案。     

Outcome of limb amputations in wapiti: 13 cases (1995-2001).

The object of this investigation was to determine the outcome of limb amputation in wapiti. Medical records of 13 wapiti that underwent limb amputation were reviewed to determine age, weight, sex, injury preceding amputation, limb amputated, amputation location, length of hospital stay, complications, and outcome. Ages ranged from 3 months to 8 years and weights from 70 kg to 280 kg. All animals were female. Eleven animals sustained catastrophic long bone fractures prior to amputation. Five animals had front limb amputations and 8 had hind limb amputations. Of these animals, 1 with a front limb amputaiton and 5 with hind limb amputations survived. Postsurgical inability to stand is associated with hospitalization of > 1 day. Of the 13 wapiti reviewed, 5 with hind limb amputations have produced and reared offspring. Hind limb amputation can be considered a viable alternative to euthanasia when catastrophic orthopedic injuries occur in female wapiti.     

离心式压缩机喘振问题分析

当压缩机内气体的流量较低时,气体容易出现旋转脱离现象,导致压缩机不能正常工作,采取增加压缩机内部液体的流量,在出口处设置单向阀防止气体倒流等措施,可有效地防止喘振的发生,保证输气管道的正常运行.
