HSP90 gene expression induced by aspirin is associated with damage remission in a chicken myocardial cell culture exposed to heat stress

1. To understand the potential protection of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) induced by aspirin against heat stress damage in chicken myocardial cells, enzyme activities related to stress damage, cytopathological changes, the expression and distribution of HSP90, and HSP90 mRNA levels in the myocardial cells exposed to heat stress (42°C) for different durations with or without aspirin administration (1 mg/ml, 2 h prior) in vitro were investigated.

2. Significant increase of enzyme levels in the supernatant of heat-stressed myocardial cells and cellular lesions characterised by acute degeneration, karyopyknosis and karyorrhexis were observed, compared to non-treated cells. However, the lesions of cells treated with aspirin were milder, characterised by earlier recovery of enzyme levels to the control levels and no obvious heat stress-related cellular necrosis.

3. Stronger positive signals in the cytoplasm and longer retention of HSP90 signal in nuclei were observed in aspirin-treated myocardial cells than those of only heat-stressed cells. HSP90 level in the aspirin-treated myocardial cells was 11.1-fold higher than that in non-treated cells, and remained at a high level at the early stage of heat stress, whereas it was just 4.1-fold higher in only heat-stressed cells and returned rapidly to a low level.

4. Overexpression of HSP90 mRNA in aspirin-treated cells was observed throughout the experiment, whereas HSP90 mRNA decreased significantly only in heat-stressed cells.

5. The early higher HSP90 expression induced by aspirin during heat stress was accompanied by decreased heat stress damage, suggesting that aspirin might play an important role in preventing myocardial cells from heat stress damage in vitro.

     

Free choice feeding of whole grains in meat-type pigeons: 1. effect on performance,carcass traits and organ development

1. The effects of 5 different feeding systems on the performance, carcass traits and organ development were studied in pigeon squabs.

2. The 5 treatments were (1) whole grains of maize, pea and wheat plus concentrate feed; (2)whole grains of maize and wheat plus concentrate feed (CWC); (3) whole grains of maize and pea plus concentrate feed; (4)whole grain of maize plus concentrate feed (CC); and (5) compound feed (CF).

3. Feed intake of parent pigeons increased significantly from 0 to 21 d and it was higher in the CF treatment. Body weight of squabs in the CWC treatment was the highest among the 5 treatments in 4 weeks. Body weight losses of parental pigeons during the rearing period were not significantly different among the 5 treatments.

4. Protein intake in CC and CWC treatments was lower than that of the other three treatments. The CWC treatment had the highest daily weight gain and the lowest feed conversion ratio. Treatments were statistically similar in the relative weight of carcass, breast and thigh. CF had the lower relative weight of abdominal fat.

5. Relative weight of gizzard in the CF treatment was significantly lower than that of CWC.

6. It was concluded that the application of free choice feeding of whole grains of maize and wheat plus concentrate feed increased the body weight of 28-d-old pigeon squabs and decreased the feed conversion rate of parent pigeons. This feeding strategy could be commercially interesting in meat-type pigeon production.

     

微热光电系统燃烧室内截面突变对燃烧的影响

微燃烧室是微热光电（MTPV）系统的重要组成部分。微燃烧室的外表面必须产生一个高而均匀的温度分布，以尽可能高地输出辐射能。通过对截面突变的微燃烧室的试验研究，得到了不同氢氧混合气流量、氢氧体积混合比下燃烧室内的燃烧状况，壁面和出口端面的温度分布。试验结果表明：采用截面突变的燃烧室能很好地控制火焰中心位置，获得稳定的外壁面温度分布规律，可以在截面突变处产生涡流，增强氢气和氧气的混合。     

rep-PCR法对稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体的评价

构建稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体是研究目的基因遗传特点，乃至克隆目的基因的重要基础，但是在建立有性后代随机群体时，可能会有无性后代污染。采用先分离单个子囊，待其长成菌落并产生分生孢子后，再分离单个萌发的分生孢子的方法构建稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体。利用基于重复DNA序列Pot2的rep-PCR方法对分离得到的有性后代进行DNA指纹分析，并评价构建的稻瘟病菌有性后代群体的质量。结果表明，构建的有性后代随机群体共包含176个后代。每个后代个体的DNA指纹图谱均与两亲本的DNA指纹图谱不一致；有性后代之间的DNA指纹图谱也彼此不一样，说明得到的有性后代个体都是由子囊孢子萌发形成的，且分离自不同的子囊。GUY11的rep-PCR扩增片段中的5个特异性片段的分离比例也都符合1:1的期望值，是按单个位点标记分离的，与已知的结果相吻合，说明有性后代随机群体的质量较高，不存在偏离现象，是一个较为理想的群体。同时，研究结果还得出基于Pot2的rep-PCR方法可以用来快速评价稻瘟病菌有性后代群体的质量。
