Effects of Sodium Fluoride on the Morphological Structure of the Epididymis and the Expression of Tight Junction Genes

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of fluoride on epididymal morphological structure and mRNA expression of tight junction genes.60 healthy male mice were divided into four groups randomly, including control group (distilled water) and 25,50,100 mg NaF/L groups, respectively. After 60 days, the thighbones were collected and fluoride contents were determined by fluorine ion selective electrode method. Paraffin slides of right epididymis with HE stain were produced to evaluate epididymal morphological structure under light microscope. The left epididymis were collected to isolate total RNA and detect the mRNA expression of tight junction genes by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the fluoride contents of thighbones increased in a dose-dependent manner, and were extremely significantly higher in 50 and 100 mg/L groups than those in control group (P<0.01).NaF extremely significantly increased the thickness of cauda epididymal pipe wall in fluoride groups (P<0.01) and the Claudin-2 mRNA expressions in fluoride groups were extremely significantly decreased (P<0.01) and the ZO-1 mRNA expression in 100 mg/L group was significantly decreased (P<0.05) as compared with control group. In conclusion, excessive NaF ingestion adversely affected epididymal morphological structure and mRNA expressions of Claudin-2 and>ZO-1,which might contribute to the damage of blood-epididymal barrier.     

油菜素内酯对干旱胁迫下羊草渗透调节及抗氧化酶的影响研究

受全球气候变化影响,我国牧区干旱现象日益严重,极大限制了草原生产力的提高。本文采用盆栽人工控水的方法,研究不同浓度油菜素内酯(BR)处理对羊草生长和抗旱特性的影响。结果表明干旱显著抑制植株的生长,而BR能有效减缓干旱胁迫对羊草造成的伤害。经过不同浓度的BR处理后,与干旱胁迫相比,株高、叶面积、干重、含水量、叶绿素a、叶绿素b、类胡萝卜素、根系活力、脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖和5种抗氧化酶活性均随浓度增加而升高,但高浓度下又有降低的趋势,而丙二醛(MDA)和叶片电导率则相反,其中以BR浓度为0.1 mg/L时的抗旱效果最好。研究发现适当浓度的BR提高羊草株高、叶面积和光合色素含量,促进干物质积累和根系活力,与其降低膜脂过氧化产物MDA与质膜透性,提高脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖等渗透调节物质含量,增强超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)等抗氧化酶活性密切相关。     

Analysis of Rumen Microbial Diversity and Functional Prediction of Chinese Simmental Cattle Based on 16S rRNA High-throughput Sequencing Technology

To systematically explore the microbial diversity and function in the rumen of Chinese Simmental cattle,this experiment used 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technology to detect and analyze the rumen fluid samples of Simmental cattle (about 20 months old,the average weight was 550 kg),and its function was predicted by PICRUSt.The results showed that a total of 66 712 high-quality sequences were obtained from the Illumina Miseq sequencing platform,and 1 797 operational classification units (OTU) were obtained by cluster analysis.The taxonomic identification was divided into 13 phylums,20 classes,22 orders,33 families and 59 genuses;Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were dominant bacteria,accounting for 62.46% and 22.45%,respectively;Based on the genus composition,[Eubacterium]_coprostanoligenes_group (9.16%),Ruminococcus_2 (7.90%),norank_f__Bacteroidales_RF16_group(6.23%),norank_f__Ruminococcaceae(4.79%),Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group(4.72%),norank_f_Bacteroidales_BS11_gut_group(4.49%),Ruminococcus_1(4.43%),etc.The PICRUSt function of the 16S rRNA genome predicted that the rumen flora function was mainly concentrated in carbohydrate transport and metabolism,and might contain a large amount of cellulose and lignin degrading enzyme genes.In summary,the high-throughput sequencing technology based on 16S rRNA gene fully revealed the diversity of rumen bacteria in Simmental cattle,and predicted that it was rich in protein decomposition and lignocellulose degrading enzymes.The basis of microbial cognition provided a reference for further research on rumen microbial functional genes closely related to some important nutritional and physiological functions.

玛曲高寒沙化草地植物生态位特征研究

研究高寒沙化草地植物群落特征和演替状况,对恢复生态环境、提高草地生产力具有重要意义。本文采用样方法对玛曲高寒沙化草地20个样地的植物种群进行系统调查,并计算其主要植物的重要值、生态位宽度和生态位重叠值。结果表明:该草地当前的优势种为异针茅(Stipa aliena);生态位宽度最大的是亚优势种高山唐松草(Thalictrum alpinum)和乳浆大戟(Euphorbia esula),为0.974,而优势种异针茅仅0.941,说明优势种并不具有最强适应能力和竞争力,在群落中的地位也不稳定;生态位宽度大的物种之间具有大的生态位重叠值,其中高山唐松草和乳浆大戟生态位重叠值最大,达0.987,与其他种群之间的竞争也较强,表明高寒沙化草地的演替方向将是杂类草取代禾草的优势地位,如不及时治理,草地将进一步退化。
