Epidemiological study of enzootic pneumonia in dairy calves in Saskatchewan.

A field study involving 325 calves from 17 dairy herds in Saskatchewan was conducted to determine the risk of enzootic pneumonia and to assess its association with a number of factors. Two different case definitions of pneumonia were used in the analyses: the first was based on producers' treatment risk (CASE1) and the second was based on semimonthly clinical examinations of calves by the research veterinarian (CASE2). The risk of pneumonia based on CASE1 was 39% and on CASE2 was 29%. The measure of agreement between CASE1 and CASE2 at the calf level of analysis was poor (kappa = 0.24, SE = 0.02) and at the herd level of analysis was moderate (kappa = 0.40, SE = 0.12). The mortality risk from pneumonia was 1.8% and a variety of infectious organisms were isolated from pneumonic lungs. Twenty-seven percent of the calves had inadequate (total IgG < or = 800 mg/dL) levels of passively acquired antibodies as measured by radial immunodiffusion. The proportion of seropositive titers in calves within the first two weeks of age was 94% to parainfluenza 3 virus (PI3V) and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), 73% to Pasteurella haemolytica (Ph), 68% to bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), 67% to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus (IBRV), 46% to Mycoplasma dispar (Md), 44% to Haemophilus somnus (Hs), and 21% to Mycoplasma bovis (Mb). At the calf level of analysis and after adjusting for clustering, there was a negative association (p = 0.10) between the diagnosis of pneumonia based on CASE2 and total IgG levels and Ph titers (rPh).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

特优175高产结构分析和配套栽培技术探讨

特优175分蘖力中强、穗大粒重、株型理想、高产稳产.经调查分析,其高产结构中,以每穗结实粒数的变异(cv=17.20%)最大,与产量相关最密切(r=0.591 1**,对产量的通径(p=1.035 6)和净贡献率(pr=0.612 1)最大;其次为有效穗(cv=10.40%,p=0.709 5,r=0.184 4,pr=0.130 8);千粒重是品种的稳定性状,对产量的贡献有限.每公顷产量7 500 kg左右的适宜产量结构为:每公顷250万穗,每穗结实120粒、千粒重28 g左右.在保持一定的穗数下,较高的每穗结实粒数是高产栽培的主攻重点.配套栽培技术是:(1)适时播种,培育壮秧;(2)适时移栽,合理密植(每公顷基本苗150～180万);(3)合理调控水肥,每公顷施纯氮150～180 kg,氧化钾120～160 kg,五氧化二磷60～80 kg;(4)综合防治病虫害.

一种快速分析香蕉果实采后mRNA水平变化的新方法

采用SMARTPCRcDNA合成与计算机软件相结合的方法,快速分析香蕉果实采后mRNA水平的变化。在28℃条件下分别将处于同株同穗同梳相邻位置的香蕉果实放置24、48、72h。应用这种方法对其总mRNA水平进行了分析,结果表明,香蕉采后48h时,与采后0h相比,mRNA水平最高。该方法由于使用了计算机软件TheScionImage,可对cDNA电泳图进行数字化分析,具有用材少,敏感性高,快捷方便等特点,特别适用于对较多样品进行分析。

Alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes in feline serum using an agarose gel alkaline phosphatase kit method.

Total serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity is the product of the combined activity of isoenzymes from a number of tissue sources. In this study, a commercially available kit for electrophoretic separation of ALP isoenzymes in an agarose gel was used to separate ALP isoenzymes in feline tissue extracts and serum. Five separate bands of ALP activity were identified. These bands were numbered 1 to 5 with band 1 having the most anodal migration. The tissue of origin corresponding to the migration position of the isoenzymes are as follows: Band 3 was the liver isoenzyme, band 4 was the bone isoenzyme and ALP isoenzymes of both intestine and kidney migrate in the position labelled band 5. Band 1 appears to be related to albumin and does not represent true ALP activity. The tissue source of band 2 (a and b) was not identified. Serum ALP activity of mature, healthy cats is primarily of liver origin. Immature cats (< 1 year of age) have a greater proportion of the bone isoenzyme in the serum.
