Endogenous hydrogen sulfide regulates oxidant/antioxidant balance in rat with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

AIM: To investigate the role of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the protection against oxidative stress in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).METHODS: The rat model of COPD was established by cigarette smoking (CS) combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) instillation. Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, CS+LPS group, CS+LPS+NaHS (H₂S donor) group and CS+LPS+PPG (DL-propargylglycine, an inhibitor of cystathionine-γ-lyase) group. After 30 days, the lung functions of the rats were measured, the histological changes of lungs were observed under light microscope and the pathological scores were calculated. The H₂S level in plasma and the protein expression of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) in the lung tissues were measured. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were detected to reflect oxidative stress.RESULTS: Compared with control group, the peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased by 24% and intra-pressure (IP) increased by 66% in CS+LPS group. The pathological scores of the lung tissues also increased. Compared with CS+LPS group, no change in the lung function was observed after given NaHS or PPG, but the pathological scores decreased in CS+ LPS+ NaHS group. Compared with control group, the content of H₂S in plasma was increased by 26% on day 16. Compared with CS+LPS group, the content of H₂S in plasma of CS+LPS+PPG group was decreased by 22% after 30 days. Compared with control group, the protein expression of CSE increased, and no statistical difference among CS+LPS group, CS+ LPS+ NaHS group and CS+LPS+PPG group was observed. Compared with control group, MDA content in the lung tissues was increased by 24% in CS+LPS group, the activity of SOD was increased by 47% and the activity of CAT was increased by 52%. Compared with CS+LPS group, the MDA content in CS+LPS+NaHS group was decreased by 21%, and no statistical difference in the activity of SOD and CAT was observed. The activity of SOD decreased by 33% after given PPG.CONCLUSION: H₂S plays a role as anti-oxidant in the rats with COPD. The CSE/ H₂S pathway may be involved in the development of COPD.     

东海南部海域头足类群落结构特征及其与环境关系

为了研究杜氏枪乌贼(Uroteuthis duvaucelii)角质颚形态和生长特征,根据2015年9—10月在南海北部海域采集的样本,通过测定样本胴长(L_M)、体质量(M)和角质颚的形态值,建立胴长与体质量以及角质颚形态参数与胴长的关系,并利用方差分析法比较不同个体和性成熟度间杜氏枪乌贼角质颚形态的差异。结果表明,不同性别未成熟个体间胴长存在显著差异(P<0.01),雌性不同成熟度个体间体质量存在显著差异(P<0.01),胴长和体质量关系符合幂函数,未成熟和性成熟个体的生长系数b分别为2.22~2.25和1.75;性成熟与未成熟个体间角质颚形态值存在显著差异(P<0.01),不同性别未成熟个体间则不存在显著差异(P>0.05);选取的6个角质颚形态参数值与胴长的关系均符合线性生长模型;通过方差分析,认为不同胴长组之间,雌性杜氏枪乌贼角质颚形态存在显著差异(P<0.01),结合性成熟度分析,发现角质颚形态参数同时受到胴长与性成熟度间交互作用的影响(P<0.01)。     

急性感染猪瘟病毒猪体外排毒规律的观察

为研究CSFV感染后在体外的传播途径、排毒规律,针对CSFV基因组设计了一对引物和一条探针,建立了一套CSFV荧光定量PCR(FQ-PCR)检测方法,并以质粒为标准品得到扩增标准曲线.对18个CSFV阳性质控样本检测全阳性,6个CSFV阴性质控样本检测全阴性,显示良好敏感性和特异性.应用此方法对石门株感染的16头60日龄长白猪和1头阴性对照猪的粪便、尿液、眼分泌物和唾液中病毒含量进行了动态测定,结果表明从感染后第1天到频死前第8天,粪便中均能检测出病毒;尿液和眼分泌物至少能从第3天,唾液从第4天开始检测出病毒,且病毒含量呈增加趋势.本研究对急性感染猪瘟病毒猪体外排毒规律进行了系统研究,为弄清CSFV感染病程、致病机理及临床诊断奠定了重要理论基础.

空肠弯曲菌基因分型的研究进展

空肠弯曲菌(Campylobacter jejuni,CJ)系螺旋科弯曲菌属胎儿亚种,为一类微需氧嗜热革兰阴性人畜共患病病原体,对人的感染率不亚于沙门菌和志贺菌。现已发现该菌除了引起人类发烧、急性肠炎、反应性关节炎(RA)和格林-巴利综合征(GBS)等疾病外,还可引起牛和绵羊流产,火鸡肝炎和蓝冠病,童子鸡和雏鸡坏死性肝炎,雏鸡、犊牛、仔猪腹泻等多种疾病。CJ广泛分布于温带、亚热带和热带的国家或地区,常通过感染的畜禽污染肉类、牛奶、鸡蛋等食物,多途径传播。常规的流行病学方法一般不能非常准确地确定其传染源,因此分型研究就成为追溯CJ传染源,调…

禽白血病病毒J亚群诱导蛋鸡群多种肿瘤

2009年8月,山东泰安某海兰褐商品蛋鸡场,开产后产蛋率只有60％～70％,31周龄时,死亡率突然增加,最高达20％.患病鸡经大体剖检、病理组织学、PCR和免疫组织化学检测确诊为J亚群禽白血病.病理组织学检测发现送检鸡除了髓细胞瘤外,还存在明显的纤维肉瘤、组织肉瘤、腺癌和血管内皮瘤等肿瘤.纤维肉瘤单独存在,组织肉瘤、腺癌和血管内皮瘤分别和髓细胞瘤混合存在,本文详细描述了各肿瘤的组织学特点.ALV-J从肉种鸡传向商品蛋鸡后引起肿瘤谱扩展的原因和机制值得进一步研究.
