益生芽孢杆菌对雏鸡红细胞免疫及免疫器官的影响

Singel(1981)等发现,人红细胞与白细胞一样,也具有重要的免疫功能,其基础是红细胞表面的C3b受体。国内的郭峰等许多学者也发现了人红细胞上存在C3R,并建立了一系列检测方法(郭峰等,1993)。机体的免疫系统是由免疫细胞和免疫分子组成的一个完整的免疫网络,由于新生雏鸡免疫生理的特殊性,各种应激因素易使其潜伏感染转化为活动感染(M·S霍夫斯塔,1980)。因此,小鸡免疫功能的调节主要在于如何增强机体免疫性。目前,已有学者研究开发免疫调节剂或增强剂或提高机体免疫性以达到防病、治病的目的。微生态制剂是否对鸡免疫功能有影响是一个值得…     

O型口蹄疫病毒VP1 T细胞与B细胞表位基因双拷贝串联表达产物的免疫应答

以一株O型口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)外壳蛋白VP1基因为模板,合成与细胞免疫及体液免疫相关抗原表位肽基因:21-40肽(20AA)和141-160肽(20AA)基因序列,运用基因工程技术构建了含有串联结构21-40(20AA)～141-160(20AA)～21-40(20AA)～141-160(20AA)的2020-2020VP1融合基因表达载体r2020-2020,转化宿主菌BL21(DE3)RIL后诱导表达,表达产物经SDS-PAGE及Western Blot分析显示重组融合蛋白的分子量约为18Ku.动物实验表明,较小剂量的融合蛋白就能诱导豚鼠产生特异性T淋巴细胞增殖反应及抗FMDV中和抗体,证明该融合蛋白可同时激活细胞免疫及体液免疫反应,具有开发成为抗FMDV疫苗的应用价值.

苔藓植物生态学研究的数量分析方法

植被数量分析方法在苔藓植被中的应用起步较晚，仅有20多年的研究历史，但发展却十分迅速。这里介绍了目前苔藓植物生态学研究中应用较为普遍的数量分析方法，并探讨了各自的优缺点。     

甘蓝夜蛾血球细胞离体培养的初步研究

本文对甘蓝夜蛾血球细胞的离体培养,以及细胞系的形态特征和生长特性进行了初步研究。利用M—M培养液,辅之以0.02％TC-199、0.06％胰蛋白(月示)和20％胎牛血清,采用单层培养法培养甘蓝夜蛾老熟幼虫的血细胞。结果原代培养仅历时35天就开始了第一次传代,共继代培养8次。细胞形态以圆形和梭形为主,圆形细胞直径为20～31μm,梭形细胞大小为18～20μm×35～50μm。利用第三代培养的细胞悬液,以3.5×10~5cells/ml浓度培养,其群体倍增时间约60小时。核型分析表明,细胞的染色体约呈圆球形,数目变化较大。经聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析,细胞的酯酶同功酶带为12条,其中有6条主带。培养的细胞于4℃直接冷冻保存可长达70天。     

桔园柿广翅蜡蝉卵块空间分布图式

柿广翅蜡蝉在某些柑桔产区新上升为主要害虫。我们于1986年7月间在宜昌柑桔产区对其卵块分布图式进行了调查,通过10组资料分析,得如下结果:(1)由比较频次法测得卵块在桔园呈负二项或截尾负二项分布。(2)由聚集强度测定方法测得卵块在桔园呈聚集分布图式,其分布的基本成份是疏松的个体群,个体群的分布是聚集的,个体内的分布是随机的。(3)由 IwaoM~*指标法求得个体群大小为1～3株(10组资料平均为1.7株)桔树所占面积。(4)由 Blackich 的λ值测得,卵块密度大于6的9组资料其聚集是由于卵块自身聚集行为习性造成(由成虫产卵行为决定),或某些环境因子作用引起。而有一组密度为2.4的资料,其聚集可能完全由于某些环境条件的作用而引起。     

Evaluation of use of progesterone to counteract zearalenone toxicosis during early pregnancy in gilts.

It has been shown that zearalenone disrupts early pregnancy in swine without altering intrauterine content of estradiol 17 beta or progesterone, embryo migration, or estradiol-17 beta synthesis by blastocysts. However, serum concentrations of progesterone were reduced 2 to 3 weeks after mating in gilts that ingested zearalenone. Therefore, progesterone was administered to gilts during early pregnancy to determine whether it could counteract the detrimental actions of zearalenone on embryonic development. Thirty-two crossbred gilts (Hampshire x Chester White x Yorkshire x Duroc) were assigned randomly to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments: zearalenone (Z); zearalenone plus progesterone (ZP); progesterone (P); or control (C). From postmating days 4 to 15, Z- and ZP-treated gilts were fed 1 mg of Z/kg of body weight, and P-treated and C gilts were fed ethanol as vehicle in a corn-soybean diet. On postmating days 3 to 15, P- and ZP-treated gilts were injected IM with 100 mg of progesterone, and C and Z-treated gilts were injected with progesterone carrier (15% ethanol, 15% benzyl alcohol, 70% propylene glycol). Blood was collected from gilts by puncture of the jugular vein daily from days 3 to 15, on alternate days from days 17 to 31, and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment. Fetal development was assessed in Z- and ZP-treated gilts on postmating day 47.6 +/- 2.9 by cesarean section and in P-treated and C gilts at slaughter on postmating days 51.2 +/- 3.2. Serum concentrations of progesterone in P-treated gilts were greater on days 7 to 8, 10 to 15, 17, and 19 than in C gilts. Serum concentrations of progesterone were greater on days 8, 10, and 12 in ZP-treated than in C gilts. However, serum concentrations of progesterone were lower in ZP-treated gilts than in C gilts on postmating days 19 to 31.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Alteration of serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α after ischemic stimulation of coronary artery in PTCA

AIM: Inflammatory responses play an important role in the post- percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) restenosis and has been demonstrated occuring immediately after PTCA. Interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) are the main inflammatory cytokines. We try to compare the changes in interleukin-6(IL-6) and TNF-α after PTCA in the patients with and without collateral circulation to probe into the pathogenesis of early inflammatory response. METHODS: The extent of myocardial ischemia induced by balloon inflation was quantified by a scoring system referring to the Leaman coronary score. The IL-6、TNF-α levels of coronary heart disease group and control group before and after PTCA are calculated. RESULTS: The concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α were (9.592±1.847) ng/L and (26.959±1.967) ng/L, respectively, and were significantly increased 4 hours after PTCA. CONCLUSION: IL-6 and TNF-α are sensitive indicators of the early inflammatory response after PTCA. Ischemia scores reflected the extent of ischemia reperfusion injury during PTCA. Collateral circulation decreased the early inflammatory response after PTCA.
