Effects of Different Nitrogen Treatments on N use Efficiency and Grain Yield of Mechanically-transplanted Hybrid Rice

In order to investigate effects of topdressing on grain yield and N use efficiency of mechanically-transplanted hybrid rice,this experiment was conducted with 2-line hybrid rice cultivars,Quanliangyou 1 and Quanliangyou 681 with 3 application levels of N fertilizer,No,N1,N2,respectively.The results showed that there were no significant differences in grain yields of the 2 varieties between treatments N1 and N2.It was indicated that N is not the factor which could limit grain yield within limited application levels of N fertilizer.High N fertilizer treatment could contribute to the formation of effective panicles and spikelets per panicle,but it could also lead to the decline in grain filling rate.It was suggested that lowering the amount of Nfertilizer could facilitate improvement of N-use efficiency.

Complications and management of a long-term pleural access port in a dog with chronic chylothorax associated with lung lobe torsion

A 2-year-old neutered male 35-kg golden retriever mixed breed dog was presented because of a 3-day history of increased respiratory effort. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with a lung lobe torsion and underwent lung lobectomy. Chylothorax developed after surgery and persisted for 3.5 y. Pleural access port (PAP) placement was used for long-term medical management. Several complications were encountered, including 2 episodes of PAP occlusion that were successfully treated with unfractionated heparin. The dog had a surgical site seroma and 2 episodes of pleuritis; euthanasia was elected after the second episode.Key clinical message:This case demonstrates successful long-term management of chylothorax with a pleural access port and management of 3 complications. Instead of the less accessible and more expensive tissue plasminogen activator, unfractionated heparin was used as an effective treatment for PAP occlusions.     

Effects of dietary oregano essential oil supplementation on growth performance,intestinal antioxidative capacity,immunity, and intestinal microbiota in yellow-feathered chickens

Essential oils are plant-derived aromatic volatile oils, and they contain bioactive compounds that have been shown to improve poultry nutrition. In this study, we investigated the effects of oregano essential oil (OEO) on intestinal antioxidative capacity, immunity, and gut microbiota of young yellow-feathered chickens. A total of nine hundred and sixty 1-d-old female Qingyuan partridge chickens were randomly allocated to four treatment groups with six replicates of 40 birds each, and the feeding trial was lasted for 30 d. The controls were fed on a basal diet without in-feed antibiotics; the birds in the antibiotic group were fed the basal diet supplemented with 20 mg/kg virginiamycin; the remaining birds were fed the basal diet containing 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO, respectively. Dietary supplementation with 150 or 300 mg/kg OEO increased average daily feed intake (P = 0.057) and average daily gain (P < 0.05). The activities of glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidative capacity in plasma, jejuna, and ileal mucosa were increased by OEO supplementation (P < 0.05), with a trend of lower jejunal content of malonaldehyde (P = 0.062). Moreover, dietary OEO increased the content of secretory immunoglobulin A (P = 0.078) and the relative expression of Claudin 1, Mucin 2, and Avain beta-defensin 1 in ileum (P < 0.05). Sequencing data of 16S rRNA indicated that dietary OEO increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum, and Clostridium and Lactobacillus genera, and decreasing that of Romboutsia. Functional analyses indicated that microbial amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, replication, and repair systems were higher in OEO groups than those of controls and antibiotic treatment. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with OEO enhanced growth performance, alleviated local oxidative stress in intestine, improved production of natural antibodies, and favorably modulated intestinal microbiota composition.     

Characteristics of 18F-FDG and 18F-FDOPA PET in an 8-year-old neutered male Yorkshire Terrier dog with glioma: long-term chemotherapy using hydroxyurea plus imatinib with prednisolone and immunoreactivity for PDGFR-β and LAT1

An 8-year-old neutered male Yorkshire Terrier dog presented with head pressing, vestibular ataxia, neck tenderness, and no oculocephalic reflex. A demarcated lesion in the pons was identified on MRI. The patient was tentatively diagnosed with a glioma and was treated with hydroxyurea plus imatinib and prednisolone. After 30 days of therapeutic treatment, the patient showed a clear improvement in neurological signs, which lasted for 1117 days. On day 569 after the initiation of treatment, ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) was performed with no significant findings on visual analysis. The average and maximal standardized uptake values (SUVs) were 1.92 and 2.29, respectively. The tumor-to-normal-tissue (T/N) ratio was 0.97. The first evidence of clinical deterioration was noticed on day 1147. On day 1155, 3,4-dihydroxy-6-[¹⁸F]-fluoro-l-phenylalanine (¹⁸F-FDOPA)-PET was performed. High uptake of ¹⁸F-FDOPA was observed in the intracranial lesion. The mean and maximal SUVs of the tumor were 1.59 and 2.29, respectively. The T/N ratio was 2.22. The patient was euthanized on day 1155 and histopathologic evaluations confirmed glioma (astrocytoma). This case shows that chemotherapy with hydroxyurea plus imatinib may be considered in the treatment of canine glioma. Furthermore, this is the first case describing the application of ¹⁸F-FDG and ¹⁸F-FDOPA in a dog with glioma.     

猪C1QTNF3基因可变剪接体的鉴定及介导miR-101调控成脂分化的研究

旨在研究猪C1QTNF3基因可变剪接体的特性及miR-101通过C1QTNF3基因促进猪脂肪SV细胞成脂分化的机制。本研究采集3头30日龄健康马身猪仔公猪心、肝、脾、肺、肾、胃、股二头肌、腰大肌、皮下脂肪和背部脂肪组织样品,首先利用RT-PCR技术和生物信息学方法对C1QTNF3基因的不同转录本进行扩增和生物学特性分析,采用qRT-PCR技术检测C1QTNF3基因不同转录本在猪组织中的表达变化。随后,利用生物信息学预测发现,C1QTNF3上游的调控因子是miR-101,采用双荧光素酶报告试验验证miR-101对C1QTNF3的调控作用。最后,利用油红O染色和qRT-PCR技术检测过表达miR-101对猪脂肪SV细胞成脂分化的影响。基因克隆得到猪C1QTNF3存在两个转录本C1QTNF3和C1QTNF3-1,其中C1QTNF3-1为新鉴定的转录本;测序分析显示,与C1QTNF3相比,C1QTNF3-1的第1外显子区域缺失了219个碱基,少编码73个氨基酸。进化树分析显示,猪C1QTNF3和C1QTNF3-1蛋白序列与人和马来亚穿山甲等物种的亲缘关系较近。C1QTNF3和C1QTNF3-1在猪各组织中均有表达,且在各组织中C1QTNF3-1的表达量均极显著高于C1QTNF3（P<0.01）。过表达miR-101极显著下调C1QTNF3 3'UTR区域的荧光素酶活性（P<0.01）和C1QTNF3 mRNA的表达（P<0.01）,同时增加了脂肪细胞成脂分化关键基因PPARγ、C/EBPβ、SREBP-1c和FABP4的mRNA表达量（P<0.01）。本试验成功克隆了猪C1QTNF3基因的两个可变剪接体,其中C1QTNF3-1在猪不同组织中均高表达,推测该转录本为基因发挥功能的主要亚型。并深入研究了C1QTNF3基因的上游调控因子,揭示了miR-101靶向C1QTNF3促进成脂分化的机制,丰富了C1QTNF3的生物学作用和调控网络。
