Role of PPARα/PGC-1α in doxorubicin induced mouse dilated cardio-myopathy

AIM: To investigate the changes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR)α/peroxisome proliferator activated receptor coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) in doxorubicin (DOX) induced dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and its effect on the energy metabolism and myocardial function in mice. METHODS: Forty mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, DOX group, PPARα inhibitor group and PPARα agonist group. The DCM model was established by injection of DOX. The protein levels of PPARα/PGC-1α were detected. The PPARα inhibitor and PPARα agonist were used 2 weeks beforeinjection of DOX. The contents of adenine acid and phosphocreatine (Pcr) in the mitochondria were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ANT activity was analyzed by the atractyloside-inhibitor stop technique. The changes of the echocardiography and hemodynamics were also observed. RESULTS: DOX induced DCM model was successfully established. The protein levels of PPARα and PGC-1α in control group were significantly higher than those in DOX group (P<0.05). Both of the high-energy phosphate contents and the transport activity of ANT were decreased in DOX group (P<0.05), and the hemodynamic parameters were disordered (P<0.01). Compared with DOX group, PPARα inhibitor pre-treatment significantly reduced the PPARα/PGC-1α expression. Meanwhile, high-energy phosphate contents in the mitochondria and the ANT transport activity of the mitochondria decreased, as well as the left ventricular function (P<0.05). On the other hand, PPARα agonist significantly increased the expression of PPARα and PGC-1α, and improved the transport activity of ANT. In addition, the hemodynamic parameters were ameliorated, but the high-energy phosphate contents of the mitochondria did not significantly change. CONCLUSION: PPARα/PGC-1α plays an important role in the regulation of ANT transport activity in dilated cardiomyopathy induced by DOX, and the activation of PPARα/PGC-1α has protective effects on the DCM induced by DOX.

长沙市郊枫香人工林降水再分配及养分动态

采用定位试验研究方法对长沙市郊枫香人工林生态系统水文过程及养分动态进行了研究.结果表明：该森林生态系统春季平均降雨量为18.73 mm,其中以林冠穿透雨形式输入林地水量占降雨量的81.63%,以树干流形式输入林地水量占1.54%;树冠截留率随降雨量的增大而减小,平均树冠截留率为16.83%;在枫香人工林中,降水pH值的变化不大,且基本呈中性;养分元素质量浓度在各过程中变化不尽相同,Ca^2＋、K^＋质量浓度在穿透水和树干茎流中呈上升趋势,NH4^＋质量浓度在树干茎流中呈上升趋势,Zn^2＋、PO4^3-质量浓度呈下降趋势,Mg^2＋、Cu^2＋质量浓度变化不大.

化学预处理对稻草硅化程度的影响及其对瘤胃降解率的改善效果

本试验结合化学分析与电镜技术,探讨了氨化与碱化处理对稻草硅化程度的影响,分析了稻草硅化程度与降解率的相关性。化学分析显示,碱化或氨化处理稻草的总硅含量随氢氧化钠或碳酸氢铵处理剂量的增加而线性下降(P<0.01);可溶性硅含量随碳酸氢铵处理剂量的增加变化不显著(P>0.05),但随氢氧化钠处理剂量增加线性下降(P<0.01);总硅与稻草干物质降解率间存在极显著负相关(r=-0.560,P<0.01)。电镜观察发现,氢氧化钠处理的稻草茎表皮根毛皱缩、乳突和瘤状结构部分溶解,碳酸氢铵处理的稻草茎外表皮层部分脱落;氢氧化钠处理的稻草茎表皮有明显的降解优势,碳酸氢铵处理的稻草茎表皮瘤胃降解72h后仍保持完整的乳突和瘤状结构。上述结果表明,氨化和碱化处理可以在一定程度上降低稻草的硅化程度,借此提高稻草的降解率,但两者降低稻草硅化的程度与方式不同。氨化处理通过使稻草表皮层部分脱落,降低稻草总硅含量,但借此提高稻草降解率的作用较弱;碱化处理可使稻草表皮硅酸盐部分溶解,从而使稻草总硅含量、可溶性硅含量下降,加速稻草降解。     

哺乳期内仔猪群体间行为关系的研究

试验主要研究了仔猪不同哺乳周期的行为联系。试验分别选择6头经产的民猪、长白猪及其仔猪作为观察对象,研究哺乳期间2猪种间的仔猪交流信息随时间变化的情况及品种间差异。结果表明:随着产后日龄的增加,哺乳期间一系列行为都发生了变化,仔猪间接触的行为会逐渐增加,但哺乳的第2￣3周又会逐渐减弱。
