Effect of dietary vitamin C and ammonia concentration on the cellular defense response of Macrobrachium nipponense

This study examined the effects of dietary vitamin C and ammonia concentration on the cellular defense response of Macrobrachium nipponese . The response of the cellular defense was determined by monitoring changes in reactive oxygen intermediates in hemocytes, superoxide dismutase activity, catalase activity, glutathione peroxidase activity, glutathione reductase and glutathione transferase activity in muscle. The results showed that prawns fed the basal diet had a significant increase in reactive oxygen intermediates in response to exposure to ammonia-N. When dietary vitamin C was added to the feed, there was a significant decrease in reactive oxygen intermediates in response to exposure to ammonia-N. Total superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity of prawns fed the basal diet decreased as ammonia-N increased. This decrease in activity was significantly less pronounced in prawns that were fed the dietary vitamin C supplement. In prawns that were fed the dietary vitamin C supplement there was no significant variation in catalase reductase or gluxathione reductase activity in response to variations in ammonia-N concentration. The glutathione transference activity increased at a low concentration of ammonia-N in prawns that were fed the dietary vitamin C supplement, but there was no significant variation in the prawns fed the basal diet. Overall the results indicate that dietary vitamin C supplements enhance the capacity of M. nipponese to respond to elevations in ammonia-N. This response involved several biochemical reactions known to be involved in cellular defense.     

Outcome of limb amputations in wapiti: 13 cases (1995-2001).

The object of this investigation was to determine the outcome of limb amputation in wapiti. Medical records of 13 wapiti that underwent limb amputation were reviewed to determine age, weight, sex, injury preceding amputation, limb amputated, amputation location, length of hospital stay, complications, and outcome. Ages ranged from 3 months to 8 years and weights from 70 kg to 280 kg. All animals were female. Eleven animals sustained catastrophic long bone fractures prior to amputation. Five animals had front limb amputations and 8 had hind limb amputations. Of these animals, 1 with a front limb amputaiton and 5 with hind limb amputations survived. Postsurgical inability to stand is associated with hospitalization of > 1 day. Of the 13 wapiti reviewed, 5 with hind limb amputations have produced and reared offspring. Hind limb amputation can be considered a viable alternative to euthanasia when catastrophic orthopedic injuries occur in female wapiti.     

离心式压缩机喘振问题分析

当压缩机内气体的流量较低时,气体容易出现旋转脱离现象,导致压缩机不能正常工作,采取增加压缩机内部液体的流量,在出口处设置单向阀防止气体倒流等措施,可有效地防止喘振的发生,保证输气管道的正常运行.

寿光蔬菜叫响"文化品牌"

王高银刹、仓颉双井、圣城古槐等寿光古代及现代的知名景观,全部“搬进”了第六届菜博会的土展厅,不过组成景点的不是土木砖瓦,而是清一色的蔬菜瓜果。这些普通蔬菜瓜果的独到组合,不仅组成了令人留连的“蔬菜大观园”,而且展现出“菜乡”寿光传统的民俗文化和蔬菜产业深厚的文化底蕴。寿光蔬菜种植历史悠久,北魏农学家贾思勰就诞生在这里,明清年间,“独根红”韭菜被确定为宫廷贡品。为叫响蔬菜的“文化品牌”,     

鸡传染性法氏囊病继发大肠杆菌感染的诊断研究

笔者饲养的200多只蛋鸡用种公鸡于50日龄左右突然发病，主要症状为食欲剧减甚至废绝，羽毛逆立，缩颈嗜眠。倒提时口内流出大量黏液状液体，排恶臭白色或微黄带泡沫稀粪，呈水样。发病率达80％，死亡率达32％。剖检可见部分鸡胸肌和腿肌出血，法氏囊水肿出血，个别鸡法氏囊内有黄色较硬的球状分泌物，有的鸡有心包炎和肝周炎，肠道、脾脏和肾脏有出血点。综合以上症状和实验室病毒学和细菌学检测，确诊为传染性法氏囊病继发大肠杆菌感染。     

三种环境因子对大白菜软腐欧氏杆菌根毛吸附的影响

 温度、pH和离子条件是影响病原细菌对寄主吸附的基本因子,文章测定了它们对大白菜软腐欧氏杆菌(Erwinia carotovora pv.carotoyora)在寄主根毛上吸附的影响。病菌在5个给定温度下对寄主根毛吸附量的变化,呈现为由吸附起始温度(18℃)、温度稳恒渐近范围(18-22℃)和温度饱和点(22℃)组成的吸附动力曲线。病菌在12个pH梯度下的运动状态、生活力及对寄主根毛吸附量的变化表明,病菌吸附以pH5.8-7.2为适宜范围,pH4.6和8.2为低限和高限;偏酸(pH5.0以下)和偏碱(pH7.2以上)可通过影响病菌的生活力和运动性而影响吸附。5×10^-6M的Ca++可使病菌吸附量提高2.5-4.2倍,同浓度的Mg++可使吸附量提高2.7倍。文章讨论了温度和pH条件影响吸附的动力学,以及吸附调节的可能机制。
