Effects of road transportation on metabolic and immunological responses in Holstein heifers

This study examined the effects of road transportation on metabolic and immunological responses in dairy heifers. Twenty Holstein heifers in early pregnancy were divided into non‐transported (NT; n = 7) and transported (T; n = 13) groups. Blood was collected before transportation (BT), immediately after transportation for 100 km (T1) and 200 km (T2), and 24 h after transportation (AT). The T heifers had higher (P < 0.05) blood cortisol and non‐esterified fatty acid concentrations after T1 and T2 than did NT heifers. By contrast, the T heifers had lower (P < 0.05) serum triglyceride concentrations after T1 and T2 than had the NT heifers. The serum cortisol and triglyceride concentrations returned (P > 0.05) to the BT concentrations at 24 h AT in the T heifers. The granulocyte‐to‐lymphocyte ratio and the percentage of monocytes were higher (P < 0.05) after T2 in the T heifers than in the NT heifers, suggesting that transportation stress increased the numbers of innate immune cells. T heifers had higher (P < 0.01) plasma haptoglobin concentrations than NT heifers 24 h AT. In conclusion, transportation increased cortisol secretion and was correlated with increased metabolic responses and up‐regulation of peripheral innate immune cells in dairy heifers.

不同温度下雌雄葎草营养生长期的生长特性

通过测定15、20、25 ℃培养条件下,雌雄葎草(Humulus scandens)单株营养生长期持续时间,根、茎、叶等构件数量性状及鲜质量、干质量和生物量分配等指标,分析温度对营养生长期雌雄葎草生长特性的影响。结果表明,温度对葎草营养生长持续期有极显著影响（P＜0.01）,雌株比雄株更易受影响;温度极显著影响根、茎、叶等构件数量性状及其鲜质量与干质量;温度极显著影响营养生长期雌、雄葎草单株的生物量总量及构成,雄株通过减少叶生物量、雌株通过增加根系生物量来为生殖生长提供物质基础。     

异源抗体对接方法预测流感病毒血凝素B细胞构象表位

为了对异源抗体对接方法预测流感病毒血凝素B细胞构象表位的可行性进行分析,本研究基于蛋白质相互作用界面的形状互补理论,使用异源抗体(来自于抗原抗体复合物1G9M、1RVF、1TPX、1NCA、1A2Y)的晶体结构同流感病毒血凝素(A/Aichi/2/68(H3N2))的晶体结构进行刚性分子对接,通过计算B细胞表位的预测表面和实际表面C-α原子之间的RSMD以及表位氨基酸的准确率,分析用异源抗体探测出血凝素B细胞表位的可能性。结果表明,不同的异源抗体均可结合到A/Aichi/2/68(H3N2)的已知B细胞表位,最佳的对接构象与原晶体结构重叠后表位残基C-α原子的均方根偏差均小于0.6埃,表位氨基酸预测的准确性大于60%,说明异源抗体对接方法可以尝试用于B细胞构象表位的预测。     

Clenbuterol诱导载酯蛋白D在猪脂肪组织中表达加强

Clenbuterol(CLB,盐酸克伦特罗),俗称瘦肉精。由于其在动物体内广泛残留,可能导致食用此类产品的人中毒而被禁止使用,但已有研究表明该制剂可显著减少猪脂肪沉积,因此,对其分子机制进行深入研究将具有重要的理论与实践价值。本研究通过对家猪饲喂高剂量clenbuterol(≥1.5mg/kg体重),提高瘦肉率10%左右。通过实时荧光定量PCR技术对脂肪组织中与脂类代谢密切相关的4个基因研究发现,饲喂clenbuterol的猪脂肪组织内载酯蛋白D(apolipoprotein D,apoD)mRNA丰度增加超过2倍,而脂蛋白酯酶(lipoprotein lipase,lpl)、硬酯酰辅酶A去饱和酶(stearoyl-CoA desaturase,scd)和激素敏感脂酶(hormone sensitive lipase,hsl)mRNA丰度变化不明显。因此,推断clenbuterol通过改变部分脂代谢关键基因的表达来实现减少脂肪积累。载酯蛋白D可能是CLB应答基因之一。     

油茶耐低磷指标鉴定及芽苗砧筛选

目的 本研究旨在探讨不同油茶半同胞子代实生苗的耐低磷能力,筛选耐低磷性强的砧木以及可用来鉴定油茶耐低磷性的关键指标,为油茶良种繁育以及耐低磷的机制研究奠定基础。 方法 以12个品种油茶的半同胞实生苗为研究对象,进行盆苗试验,设定正常磷1 mmol·L−1 KH2PO4、低磷0 mmol·L−1 KH2PO4 2个浓度,测定生物量、叶形态、根系形态、全磷等14个指标,以耐低磷系数为衡量油茶耐低磷的依据,建立逐步回归模型判别耐低磷关键指标。 结果 低磷胁迫减少了大部分油茶地上部分和根系的生物量积累,增加了根冠比和总磷利用效率。主成分分析将14个指标转化为4个独立的综合指标,累计贡献率达90.398%。依据综合评价值（D）,12个品种油茶半同胞子代聚类为3种类型,其中,GF20、CL3、84-3为相对不耐低磷类型;W1、CL53、GX48为中间型;G8、CL4、W2、CL40、CL18、83-4为相对耐低磷类型。PA（总磷积累量）、SPC（地上全磷）、TRA（总根表面积）、LW（叶宽）、RPC（根全磷）指标的回归模型为：D = −0.960 + 0.666PA + 0.341SPC + 0.379TRA + 0.460LW + 0.197RPC。 结论 低磷胁迫或许会抑制油茶的生长,但普遍增加根冠比和总磷利用效率。长林18、长林40、赣8、长林4、赣无2、赣石83-4相对耐低磷。总磷积累量、地上全磷、总根表面积、叶宽、根全磷可作为油茶耐低磷性的判断指标。     

Effects of Dietary Supplementation of Barodon on Growth Performance,Innate Immunity and Disease Resistance of Juvenile Olive Flounder,Paralichthys olivaceus,Against Streptococcus iniae

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of Barodon, an anionic alkali mineral complex, on growth, feed utilization, humoral innate immunity and disease resistance of olive flounder. A basal experimental diet was used as a control and supplemented with 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5% Barodon. Triplicate groups of fish (26.4 ± 0.2 g) were fed one of the diets to apparent satiation twice daily for 10 wk. The growth performance was enhanced (P < 0.05) linearly and quadratically in fish fed diets containing Barodon compared with that in fish fed the control. Feed utilization was significantly improved by Barodon supplementation. Serum lysozyme and antiprotease activities were increased quadratically in Barodon fed groups. Also, significantly higher superoxide dismutase activity was found in Barodon‐fed fish. Dietary supplementation of 0.1–0.3% Barodon resulted in significant enhancement of fish disease resistance against Streptococcus iniae. The findings in this study indicate that dietary supplementation of Barodon can enhance growth, feed utilization, innate immunity, and disease resistance of olive flounder and that the optimum level seems to be 0.1% in diets.     

Ultrastructural impairment of islet microvascular endothelial cells in STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice

AIM: To investigate the ultrastructural changes of islet microvascular endothelial cells in STZ-induced type 1 diabetic mice. METHODS: BALB/c mice were randomly divided into diabetic group and control group. The expression of insulin and platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) in islet microvessels was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The ultrastructural changes of islet β cells and islet microvessels were observed under transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the number of islet β cells, ratio of β cells/α cells, average number of secretory granules in β cells and insulin expression area per islet in diabetic group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Besides, diabetic group had fewer microvessels with lower expression of CD31 (P<0.01). Mitochondria in islet microvascular endothelial cells and pericytes in diabetic group were swelling. The basement membrane of islet microvessels became thicker in diabetic group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Islet microvascular endothelial cells were impaired in type 1 diabetic mice.
