Taurine reduced oxygen free radical production induced by homocysteine in electron transport chain and homocysteine inhibites taurine transporter in mitochondria membrane

AIM: To observe effects of homocysteine and antagonized effects of taurine on electronic leakage and free radical production in myocardial mitochondria. METHODS: Myocardial mitochondria of rat heart was isolated, and was broken by supersonic wave to prepare submitochondria. Recombinant of succinic acid cytochrome c reductase was prepared with mitochondria of porcine heart. They were co-incubated with homocysteine and/or taurine with various concentration. The H₂O₂ and O₂^- were determined by chemiluminescence methods. The taurine transporter of heart mitochondria and its propert, and effects of homocysteine on its function were studied with glass filter. RESULTS: Homocysteine stimulated oxygen free radical production in heart mitochondria, submitochondria, and succinic acid cytochrome c in a concentration-dependent manner. Although taurine itself did not affect oxygen free radical production, taurine did inhibit oxygen free radical production in mitochondria, submitochondria and succinic acid cytochrome c in a concentration-dependent manner. Taurine transporters of Na⁺-dependent were existed in mitochondria membrane. Homocysteine inhibited taurine transtport in mitochondria in a concentration-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: Taurine inhibited electronic leakage and oxygen free radical production induced by homocysteine in electron transport chain. There were taurine transporters in mitochondria membrane, and transport functions of taurine transporter were inhibited by homocysteine.     

Expression and subcellular localization of urocortin in syncytiotrophoblast of human term placenta

AIM: To obverse the expression and localization of urocortin on ultrathin cryosections of syncytiotrophoblast of human term placenta with immunocytochemistry technique under transmission electron microscope. METHODS: The human term placenta tissue from Cesarean delivery and normal labor were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, and then divided into two parts. One part was for regular immunocytochemistry under microscope, and the other part was used to prepare ultrathin cryosections for immunocytochemistry under transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: 1.Uroncortin mainly distributed in cytoplasm of syncytiotrophoblast of human term placenta under microscope. Urocortin also appeared in cytoplasm in some stromal cells. 2. Under transmission electron microscope, the anti-urocortin gold particles were observed in cytoplasm of syncytioptrophoblast ultrathin cryosections and sited on rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum. The anti-urocortin gold particles also appeared on nucleus and nuclear membrane of syncytiotrophoblast. CONCLUSION: Syncytiotrophoblast of human term placenta synthesized and secreted urocortin. The internalization of urocortin within syncytiotrophoblast nuclear indicates that urocortin may act as intracrine.

采用西北地区土壤试管栽培法对12株不同地区来源的根瘤茵和2个紫花苜蓿Medicago sativa品种(品系)进行接种效果的研究，旨在使筛选结果尽量接近实际生产环境，筛选出符合实际效果的高效共生菌株。结果表明，紫花苜蓿与根瘤菌之间表现出共生效果的多样性。绝大多数接种根瘤菌的紫花苜蓿在总瘤数、有效瘤数、地上部干质量方面与不接种的对照相比分别增加了7％～240％，10％～367％，7％～150％。根瘤菌与紫花苜蓿品种之间存在着互作关系，且受土壤因子尤其是土壤养分状况的影响。初步筛选出的与2个紫花苜蓿品种(品系)最佳共生匹配的根瘤菌菌株分别是：中苜一号的73317，01006，01055；金皇后的83092，01006，01055。     

九种根际促生菌最适培养条件初探

测定了分离自燕麦和小麦根际九株促生菌对温度、pH值、光照及培养方式的需求,结果表明:虽然九株促生菌适应范围较广,即在5~45℃、pH4~9、3种光照条件(12h黑暗12h光照、24h光照和24h黑暗)和3种培养方式(全天振荡、间歇振荡和静止培养)下均能较好生长,但不同菌株的最适培养条件不尽相同。通过对各菌株的最适培养条件进行了测定和分析,为后续确定促生菌的最佳发酵条件和生态适应性评价提供了依据。     

中草药饲料添加剂提高奶牛产奶量效果研究

选取同一胎次,健康正常的黑白花奶牛共36头随机分三组,对照组饲喂基础日粮,中草药Ⅰ组饲喂含5%黄芪日粮,中草药Ⅱ组饲喂党参-黄芪复合中药添加剂日粮,进行产奶量比对分析试验.结果证明,在奶牛的日粮中适当添加一定量的中草药添加剂 ,可以明显提高奶牛的奶产量(P＜0.01),产奶量可提高约12.88%左右,并能有效减少奶牛乳房炎的发病率.试验结果还证明,在日粮中添加单味中药添加剂,对奶产量的提高也有一定的影响,但实际效果不如中草药Ⅱ组显著.     

猪多杀性巴氏杆菌的分离鉴定及生物学特性研究

用PCR方法配合生化鉴定，从有肺炎症状猪的肺脏及进行性萎缩性鼻炎(Progressive atrophic rhinitis，PAR)症状猪的鼻拭子中分离出66株多杀性巴氏杆菌(Pasteurella multocida，Pm)。然后做了药敏试验，并用PCR方法对这66株Pm进行分型及毒素基因的检测，用豚鼠皮肤坏死试验及小鼠致死试验对产毒素多杀性巴氏杆菌(Toxigenie Pasteurella multocida，T^ Pm)进一步鉴定。结果显示PCR鉴定与生化鉴定Pm结果完全一致；PCR分型表明有46株为D型Pm，18株为A型：Pm，1株为B型Pm，1株无法定型；有8株用PcR检测为T^ Pm；豚鼠皮肤坏死试验及小鼠致死试验对这8株T^ Pm的进一步鉴定也表明均为产毒素菌株。所鉴定的8株T^ Pm都为D型，都分离于有严重PAR症状的猪。

选用12只装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的成年雄性东北细毛羊，采用随机区组试验设计，分别饲喂0、100、200、300mg／kg水平丝兰皂甙，研究其对瘤胃发酵及血液生化指标的影响。对试羊采食后的0、2、4、6、8h瘤胃内环境指标进行测定，各组在同一时间点pH无显著差异（P〉0．05），但总体上随着丝兰皂甙添加水平的上升，pH随时间变化有变缓趋势；300mg／kg组较对照组4h和6h乙酸浓度下降15．1％和19．8％，丙酸浓度则提高22．7％和22．9％，差异显著（P〈0．05），各组总挥发性脂肪酸浓度差异不显著（P〉0．05）；100、200、300mg／kg组对氨的抑制率分别为17．17％、29．84％和27．12％，200mg／kg组较对照组差异显著（P〈0．05）；28d后，测定试羊血液生化指标，各组均处正常生理范围内且差异不显著（P〉0．05）。     

优质肉鸡繁育体系的效益评估

近十多年来，我国优质肉鸡的生产方兴未艾，许多育种公司和科研院所不断推出新品系。为充分发挥新品系的遗传潜力，探求优质肉鸡最佳的繁育生产模式具有重要意义。由于不同的品系及其杂种后代在不同的性状上各有优缺点，很难用生产性能进行直接比较，而适合用育种规划的方法通过经济学指标进行评价。系统分析通过把生产系统抽象概念化并用数学手段模型化的方法，     

野生冰草种质资源同工酶遗传多样性分析与评价

分析了分布在内蒙古地区的16份野生冰草种质资源酯酶和过氧化物酶的基因位点,结果表明:2种酶共检测到4个等位基因位点,21条酶带,均为多态位点,两种等位酶4个基因位点平均杂合度为77.22%,显示了较高的多态性;依据同工酶谱带信息,把供试种群聚类并划分成3个类群,类群之间存在明显的遗传差异,但是基于同工酶分析进行的分类来确定材料的地理区域有一定的局限性。     

4种日粮条件下30～150日龄羔羊瘤胃消化代谢功能的变化

将16只30日龄体重约6～10kg装有瘤胃瘘管的罗姆尼与新疆美利奴羊杂交公羔分为4组，分别喂以不同消化能（DE，MJ／kg）和蛋白质（CP，％）水平的日粮（DE／CP：11．91／20、11．91／14、8．15／20和8．15／14），以15d为一研究时间段，每时间段的第9、10和11天在第一次喂料后的第0、1、3、6和9h采取瘤胃液样品，以研究30～150日龄期间羔羊瘤胃消化代谢的变化规律。结果表明，羔羊瘤胃液pH、氨态氮、丙酸、乙＋丙＋丁酸浓度随日龄而不断升高，在100日龄时趋于稳定，并且受日粮营养水平的影响。乙酸浓度的变化虽也受日龄和日粮营养水平的影响，但相对较小。羔羊瘤胃液体积在120日内几乎增加了15倍，并且也受日粮营养水平的影响。研究表明瘤胃消化代谢的发育是渐进性的，在100日龄时各项指标均趋于稳定，并且瘤胃液体积的增大对于瘤胃消化代谢能力的发育起着首要的作用。
