乳铁蛋白在动物防御系统中的作用

<正>乳铁蛋白(LF)最初在牛乳中发现,后来发现这种蛋白质也广泛地存在于猪、鼠、人及其它哺乳动物的唾液、泪液、支气管粘液、胆汁、胰液等外分泌液以及嗜中性粒细胞次级颗粒和血浆中。正常生理条件下LF在血浆中含量很低,而富含于各种外分泌液和嗜中性粒细胞的次级颗粒中。     

磁化水灌溉对番茄生长及生理特性的影响

通过日光温室试验,研究磁化水灌溉对番茄幼苗期和开花期生长性状与生理特性的影响,为磁化水灌溉在蔬菜生产中的应用提供依据。试验设置2个处理:磁化水灌溉、普通水灌溉（CK）。试验结果表明:与普通水灌溉相比,磁化水灌溉处理的番茄植株株高增长15%、茎粗增长8.2%;磁化水灌溉处理后的幼苗期番茄叶片SOD、POD和CAT活性分别增长22%、44.4%、18.4%,开花期番茄叶片SOD、POD、CAT活性分别增长15.8%、21.5%、48.3%;磁化水灌溉处理后的开花期番茄根系活力增长56%。磁化水灌溉能有效提升番茄生长性能、酶活性和根系活力,可为绿色、无公害蔬菜生产技术的应用提供参考。

奶牛杂交群体及其遗传评估的模拟研究

为验证在奶牛杂交群体中将品种组成和杂合度作为协变量的遗传评估理论,为奶牛杂交模式选择和杂交群体遗传评估等实际问题提供理论依据,结合我国奶业现状,本研究模拟了在低产荷斯坦牛群引入法系蒙贝利亚牛、德系西门塔尔牛进行杂交,采用随机交配和三品种轮回杂交模式、群体世代重叠17年的繁育过程.群体杂合度在第7年后趋于平衡,轮回杂交模式的群体杂合度高于随机交配.经过杂交,原中低产荷斯坦牛群体在产奶性能、生长性能方面都有进展,轮回杂交提高幅度相对略高.此外,利用品种效应和杂合度效应剖分杂种优势,采用单性状和多性状动物模型对模拟群体进行遗传评估,效果基本一致,都可以很好地用于杂交群体的遗传评估.结果表明,对荷斯坦牛中低产群体进行杂交,可实现生产性能和效益的提高,回归模型可用于多元群体的遗传评估.     

长沙市野生态动物园斑马蜱pcox1基因扩增及序列分析

为研究长沙市生态动物园引进的非洲肯尼亚斑马蜱的线粒体DNA的部分细胞色素C氧化酶第Ⅰ亚基(cytochrome coxidase subunit l,pcox1)基因序列的遗传变异情况,本研究对其线粒体pcox1基因序列进行PCR扩增,并使用DNAStar(V5.01)、Clustalx2.0及Phylip3.67进行分析。结果显示,几种斑马蜱为消色牛蜱、丽色扇头蜱和璃眼蜱属,种间差异为0.7%~20.2%,种内相似度较高,表明pcox1基因可作为蜱种间遗传变异研究的标记,研究结果为蜱的分类鉴定以及进一步的分子流行病学调查奠定了基础。     

采用PCR-SSCP技术分析蚯蚓粪便的微生物群落结构

通过SDS/蛋白酶的方法抽提蚯蚓粪便微生物总DNA,以总DNA为模板,采用通用引物分别成功扩增细菌16S rRNA基因的V4-V5可变区,真菌18S rRNA基因的V8-V9可变区,应用单链构象多态性技术（SSCP）分析了蚯蚓粪便中不同空间层次的微生物种群的多样性。结果表明,在粪便的不同空间层次上呈现出明显的空间分布多样性,并且与纯蚯蚓粪微生物种群的多样性有很大的差别。为进一步的蚯蚓粪生态学功能研究提供了有益的指导。     

Low levels of haptoglobin and putative amino acid sequence in Taiwanese Lanyu miniature pigs

Porcine haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute phase protein. Its plasma level increases significantly during inflammation and infection. One of the main functions of Hp is to bind free hemoglobin (Hb) and inhibit its oxidative activity. In the present report, we studied the Hp phenotype of Taiwanese Lanyu miniature pigs (TLY minipigs; n=43) and found their Hp structure to be a homodimer (beta-alpha-alpha-beta) similar to human Hp 1-1. Interestingly, Western blot and high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis showed that 25% of the TLY minipigs possessed low or no plasma Hp level (<0.05 mg/ml). The Hp cDNA of these TLY minipigs was then cloned, and the translated amino acid sequence was analyzed. No sequences were found to be deficient; they showed a 99.7% identity with domestic pigs (NP_999165). The mean overall Hp level of the TLY minipigs (0.21 +/- 0.25 mg/ml; n=43) determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was markedly lower than that of domestic pigs (0.78 +/- 0.45 mg/ml; p<0.001), while 25% of the TLY minipigs had an Hp level that was extremely low (<0.05 mg/ml). In addition, the initial recovery rate (first 40 min) in the circulation of infused fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-Hb was significantly higher in the TLY minipigs with extremely low Hp levels than those with high levels. This data suggests that the low concentration of Hp-Hb complex is responsible for the higher recovery rate of Hb in the circulation. TLY minipigs have been used as an experimental model for cardiovascular diseases; whether they can be used as a model for inflammatory diseases, with Hp as a marker, remains a topic of interest. However, since the Hp level varies significantly among individual TLY minipigs, it is necessary to prescreen the Hp levels of the animals to minimize variation in the experimental baseline. The present study may provide a reference value for future use of the TLY minipig as an animal model for inflammation-associated diseases.     

草原生态保护红线划定的基本思路与政策建议

草原保护事关我国生态及经济协调、可持续发展大局。划定草原生态保护红线是构筑我国生态安全屏障的基础,是加强我国民族团结和边疆稳定的前提,是确保我国畜牧业产业安全的保证,是实现牧区可持续发展的重要保障。草原生态保护红线与耕地保护红线一样,具有不可撼动的国家战略意义和重大历史意义。本文在分析我国草原保护现状及存在问题的基础上,提出了草原生态保护红线的内涵和意义,阐述了划定生态红线的基本思路,给出了实现草原可持续发展、划定草原生态保护红线的具体政策建议。
