Characterization of the canine skin barrier restoration following acute disruption by tape stripping

The stratum corneum (SC) forms the main part of the permeability barrier of the skin. In mice and in humans, cutaneous barrier disruption can be generated by removing the SC with tape stripping (TS) and the skin barrier function can be assessed by measurement of transepidermal water loss (TEWL). The aim of the present study was to characterize the skin barrier restoration in the dog following mechanical disruption and to analyse the correlation between the skin barrier recovery and TEWL measurement. Thirty sequential TS were performed on 12 sites on four healthy beagle dogs. The number of TS was chosen to ensure a sufficient barrier disruption with a slow recovery. Skin repair was assessed for 72 h by clinical and histological examinations, and TEWL measurements. The results showed that performing 30 TS was adequate to disrupt the skin barrier in the dog. The homeostatic repair response, initiated in the skin, was rapid and characterized by complete restoration of the SC within 72 h, accompanied by greater basal cell proliferation, and dermal eosinophilic inflammation. TEWL was significantly increased by complete removal of the SC but recovered along with restoration of the SC (Scheffe test, P ≤ 0.05). Characterization of a canine model of barrier disruption and restoration and assessment of the skin barrier function by TEWL measurements could help better understand the events implied in skin barrier function. Development of this canine model is also necessary for future studies on the effects of treatments aimed at restoring the skin barrier.     

温度与饲料蛋白质水平对吉富品系尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis nilotica)幼鱼生长和血清生长激素水平的影响

采用中心复合试验设计和响应曲面分析方法,在试验室条件下,研究了温度(20～34℃)和饲料蛋白质水平(25％ ～ 50％)对吉富品系尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis nilotica)幼鱼生长、饲料效率和血清生长激素(GH)水平的影响.试验期为56 d.随着温度和饲料蛋白质水平的上升,特定生长率、饲料效率和血清GH水平均呈先上升后下降的变化趋势.温度与饲料蛋白质水平的一次效应对特定生长率、饲料效率和血清GH水平有显著影响(P＜0.05);温度和饲料蛋白质水平的二次效应与互作效应对饲料效率和血清GH水平有显著影响(P＜0.05),温度与蛋白质水平对特定生长率无互作效应(P＞0.05).高温与饲料高蛋白质水平会降低饲料效率和血清GH水平.因子与响应值间二次多项回归方程的决定系数分别达到0.958、0.955和0.875(P ＜0.01),可用于预测.温度/饲料蛋白质水平最优组合为29.9 ℃/40.3％,此时,特定生长率和饲料效率均较高,分别为2.748％/d和77.5％,其可靠性达0.888.温度对特定生长率、饲料效率和血清GH水平影响较饲料蛋白质明显.血清GH水平与特定生长率相关性较低,而与饲料效率呈正相关.因此,建议在罗非鱼幼鱼的培育中,按照上述温度与饲料蛋白质组合安排生产,以提高罗非鱼养殖效益.     

崇明东滩不同演替阶段湿地土壤有机碳汇聚能力的差异性及其微生物机制

旨在阐明崇明东滩不同演替阶段湿地土壤有机碳汇聚能力的差异性及其机制,以期为优化湿地的管理与保育措施,进而保持和提升湿地的碳汇功能提供理论指导和决策依据。研究结果表明,4个不同演替阶段湿地土壤有机碳含量和微生物呼吸强度有显著差异(P<0.05),中高潮滩处的土壤有机碳汇聚能力最高,这是由于其具有较高的有机碳输入(植物枯落物)和相对较低的碳输出(土壤呼吸)。PCR-DGGE分析和系统进化树结果表明,4个不同演替阶段土壤的微生物群落结构存在差异,一些特异性优势菌的存在可能是影响土壤微生物呼吸强度,并最终影响土壤有机碳汇聚能力的重要原因。出现在高潮滩的噬纤维菌和假单胞属菌具有较高降解纤维素等有机质的能力,它们的存在可能强化了高潮滩的土壤呼吸作用,从而降低了高潮滩土壤的有机碳汇聚能力。     

Thermal Resistance of Common Rice Maintainer and Restorer Lines to High Temperature During Flowering and Early Grain Filling Stages

Fifteen common rice maintainer lines and 26 high-yielding restorer lines were used to evaluate their thermal resistance and fertility during flowering and early grain filling stages.The rice plants were subjected to high temperature stress(39-43 ℃) for 1-15 d from main stem flowering.Based on the heat stress index,they were divided into thermal resistant lines,semi-thermal resistant lines,semi-thermal sensitive lines and thermal sensitive lines.Therefore,the maintainer lines K22B,Bobai B and V20B belonged to thermal resistant lines,whereas II-32B,Zhongzhe B and Zhong 9B belonged to thermal sensitive lines.For rice restorer lines,Minghui 63 had the highest thermal resistance,followed by R207,P32,P929,and the lowest thermal resistant lines P62-2-2,R8006 and P51.The correlation analysis indicated that the heat stress index was significantly correlated with seed-setting rate and abortive grain rate under heat stress,but not under natural conditions.This indicated that heat stress occurred during flowering and early grain filling stages mainly decreased the seedsetting rate and significantly increased the abortive grain rate in both rice maintainer and restorer lines.     

氨基酸对基因表达的影响

氨基酸除了作为蛋白质合成底物外 ,氨基酸在体内还发挥着其它重要的营养生理功能 ,例如作为糖异生的底物、作为神经递质和信号转导的前体及蛋白质周转的调节剂等。然而 ,大量研究证实氨基酸还作为营养信号分子调控着许多调节细胞功能和氨基酸代谢的基因的表达。氨基酸主要是通过影响DNA的转录和mRNA的稳定性和翻译而调控基因的表达。但是 ,氨基酸调控基因表达的分子机制仍然不十分清楚     

Production of cell-wall polysaccharide degrading enzymes in carrot root tissues infected by Mycocentrospora acerina.

Mycocentrospora acerina , the causal agent of liquorice rot of carrot roots, produces several cell-wall polysaccharide degrading enzymes in vitro . To assess the involvement of these enzymes in tissue invasion, the production and localization of pectin methylesterases, polygalacturonases, pectate lyases and endoglucanases were measured in root tissue infected by M. acerina . Isoelectrofocusing studies demonstrated the production of three isoforms of pectin methylesterase in healthy tissue. In infected tissue, two isoforms already observed in the culture filtrate and two novel isoforms were detected. Tissue maceration was associated with in vivo production of pectin methylesterase and polygalacturonase, which were first detected on the second day whereas pectate lyase and endoglucanase activities were detected only from the fourth day after infection. Maceration was always detected ahead of the mycelium, indicating diffusion of these enzymes.
