Age-related changes in the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus)

The distribution, size, and appearance of Peyer's patches vary according to species. In order to determine the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camel, and age-related changes in the number of Peyer's patches, 40 Bactrian camels of the following four age groups were studied: young (0.5–2 years), pubertal (3–5 years), middle-aged (6–16 years), and old (17–20 years). The exact number of Peyer's patches was recorded, and the appearance of Peyer's patches was described in detail. The results indicated that Peyer's patches of Bactrian camels not only have a particular anatomical location and distinct appearance but also change with age. They were distributed in the whole small intestine and there were four distinct types of Peyer's patches: nodular, faviform, cup-shaped, and cystic form Peyer's patches. However, the nodular and cystic form Peyer’s patches are specific to Bactrian camel, which have not been found in other animals including Dromedary camel. In addition, the distribution density of Peyer's patches in ileum was the maximum, then was jejunum and duodenum. Further statistical analysis showed that the number of Peyer's patches was altered with age. The number peaked in 5-year-old camels and declined subsequently with age. However, there was little change in the size of Peyer's patches in different age groups; no age-related macroscopic variations in the shape or size of the Peyer's patches were found. Results obtained from this study provide the basic information to further study on the gastrointestinal mucosal immunity of Bactrian camel.     

铜对意大利蜜蜂工蜂生理机能的影响

本研究旨在探索意大利蜜蜂工蜂成蜂饲粮中铜的添加水平对蜜蜂生长发育、生理生化及抗氧化性能的影响。从蜂群中随机取3000只刚出房的蜜蜂,随机平均分成6组,分别命名为A、B、C、D、E、F,每组5个重复,每个重复100只蜜蜂;6组工蜂幼虫分别饲喂铜的添加水平为0.00、2.00、4.00、6.00、8.00、10.00μg/g的糖水,饲养至全部死亡。分别取成蜂测定体成分、血淋巴生化指标、抗氧化指标、相关基因表达量、制作中肠切片,并测定寿命。结果表明:(1)铜对蜜蜂寿命的影响显著,从蜜蜂存活率曲线图来看,当饲粮中铜的添加水平为2.00μg/g时对蜜蜂中肠食膜的结构最为有利。(2)与对照组相比,铜的添加水平为2.00~10.00μg/g组9日龄蜜蜂体组织铜含量显著升高(P<0.05),蜜蜂血淋巴中总蛋白(TP)和总胆固醇(TCHO)含量显著降低(P<0.05)。(3)9日龄蜜蜂蜂体超氧化物歧化酶(Cu/Zn-SOD)活性随着铜添加水平的提高出现先升高后降低的趋势,在2.00μg/g时活性最高(P<0.05)。(4)当饲粮中铜的添加水平在0.00~10.00μg/g的范围内不断升高时,CAT、Ctr1基因相对表达量显著增加(P<0.05)。由此得出饲粮中铜的添加水平对蜜蜂的生理机能影响显著。     

熊蜂滞育及调控机制研究进展

滞育是绝大多数昆虫为了在不利于自身生存的极端自然环境中存活下来而进行的一种生理过程,是昆虫与环境长期协同进化的结果。熊蜂滞育过程属于成虫生殖滞育,其滞育进程可能受保幼激素水平、热激蛋白表达以及物质代谢等方面的影响,但其具体的滞育调节机制尚未清楚。本文从昆虫滞育的相关假说、熊蜂滞育进程以及熊蜂滞育机制调控进展等方面进行阐述,以期为后续熊蜂工厂化繁育中滞育技术的突破奠定基础。     

甲醛处理对豆饼干物质和蛋白质瘤胃降解率及胃蛋白酶消化率的影响

豆饼用２ｇ／ｋｇＤＭ甲醛处理后,１０ｈ瘤胃干物质（ＤＭ）降解率从８７．１９％下降到豆饼含水量为１４％和６０．９３％和含水量１８％时的５６．２９％,粗蛋白降解率从８７．６９％分别下降到４８．３６％和４３．４３％,随着甲醛用量的增加,干物质的粗蛋白的降解率进一步下降,但下降幅度减少。在甲醛用量低于２ｇ／ｋｇＤＭ的情况下,甲醛用量对ＰＨ为４．５时的胃蛋白酶４ｈ和８ｈ干物质和粗蛋白消化率没有明显影响,但     

Antimicrobial susceptibility and PFGE genotyping of Haemophilus parasuis isolates from pigs in South China (2008-2010)

H. parasuis isolates (n=112) from pigs were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility against 23 antimicrobial agents by the disk diffusion method. All isolates were sensitive to Florfenico and most strains were sensitive to Cefotaxime (103/112; 92%), Ceftazidime (99/112; 88.4%), Chloramphenicol (90/112; 80.4%) and Gentamicin (85/112; 75.9%). High resistance levels to Nalidixic acid (84.8%), TMP (67.9%) and Trimethoprim+Sulfamethoxazole (58%) were observed. Genomic DNA extracted from 52 isolates resistant to at least seven antimicrobial agents was analyzed by PFGE and 46 distinct PFGE patterns identified. Diverse variation was observed between the drug-resistant H. parasuis isolates examined, suggesting that resistance traits were acquired independently by the respective isolates.

犬会阴疝的手术治疗

<正>会阴是体壁的一部分,覆盖于骨盆后口,环绕肛门与泌尿生殖道周围。盆腔由肛门提肌、尾骨肌、荐坐韧带、臀浅肌、闭孔内肌和肛门外括约肌等组成,供直肠和肛门通过。当会阴部肌肉组织发生各种病理缺陷造成腹腔脏器向会阴外突出甚至脱出至皮下时,即形成会阴疝。疝内容物通常为结缔组织、脂肪、前列腺、膀胱等等。本病发病原因比较复杂,有先天性、外伤、盆腔肌无力、前列腺肥大和激素分泌失调等原因。妊娠后期、难产、强烈努责、严重便秘以及脱肛等情况常诱发本病。     

Association of a missense mutation in the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor gene （LHCGR） with superovulation traits in Chinese Holstein heifers

Background: Upon binding luteinizing hormone in the ovary, the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) is necessary for follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as luteal function. We detected mutations in the LHCGR gene and evaluated their association with superovulation. Methods: Using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing, we examined polymorphisms in LHCGR and the genotypes associated with superovulation traits in 127 Chinese Holstein heifers. Results: A G/T polymorphism (ss52050737) in exon 11 was significantly associated with the total number of ova and the number of transferable embryos. Conclusions: LHCGR may be a new predictor for superovulation in Chinese Holstein heifers.
