Association of a missense mutation in the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor gene （LHCGR） with superovulation traits in Chinese Holstein heifers

Background: Upon binding luteinizing hormone in the ovary, the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) is necessary for follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as luteal function. We detected mutations in the LHCGR gene and evaluated their association with superovulation. Methods: Using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing, we examined polymorphisms in LHCGR and the genotypes associated with superovulation traits in 127 Chinese Holstein heifers. Results: A G/T polymorphism (ss52050737) in exon 11 was significantly associated with the total number of ova and the number of transferable embryos. Conclusions: LHCGR may be a new predictor for superovulation in Chinese Holstein heifers.

鸡肠炎沙门氏菌外膜蛋白F的原核表达及免疫原性分析

根据GenBank中收录的鸡肠炎沙门氏菌OmpF基因序列设计1对引物,以鸡肠炎沙门氏菌辽宁分离株基因组为模板,扩增鸡肠炎沙门氏菌OmpF基因,用IEDB Analysis Resource在线预测分析,该基因可能存在15个线性B细胞抗原表位;同时将该基因克隆至原核表达载体PGEX-4T-1中,构建重组表达质粒PGEX-4T-1-OmpF,转入大肠杆菌BL21中,获得OmpF重组蛋白。Western-blot检测结果表明,该重组蛋白的分子质量约为66 kD(含标签蛋白),能被鸡沙门氏菌阳性血清识别,初步证实该蛋白具有免疫原性,为鸡肠炎沙门氏菌亚单位疫苗的进一步研究和开发奠定了理论基础。     

铜对意大利蜜蜂工蜂生理机能的影响

本研究旨在探索意大利蜜蜂工蜂成蜂饲粮中铜的添加水平对蜜蜂生长发育、生理生化及抗氧化性能的影响。从蜂群中随机取3000只刚出房的蜜蜂,随机平均分成6组,分别命名为A、B、C、D、E、F,每组5个重复,每个重复100只蜜蜂;6组工蜂幼虫分别饲喂铜的添加水平为0.00、2.00、4.00、6.00、8.00、10.00μg/g的糖水,饲养至全部死亡。分别取成蜂测定体成分、血淋巴生化指标、抗氧化指标、相关基因表达量、制作中肠切片,并测定寿命。结果表明:(1)铜对蜜蜂寿命的影响显著,从蜜蜂存活率曲线图来看,当饲粮中铜的添加水平为2.00μg/g时对蜜蜂中肠食膜的结构最为有利。(2)与对照组相比,铜的添加水平为2.00~10.00μg/g组9日龄蜜蜂体组织铜含量显著升高(P<0.05),蜜蜂血淋巴中总蛋白(TP)和总胆固醇(TCHO)含量显著降低(P<0.05)。(3)9日龄蜜蜂蜂体超氧化物歧化酶(Cu/Zn-SOD)活性随着铜添加水平的提高出现先升高后降低的趋势,在2.00μg/g时活性最高(P<0.05)。(4)当饲粮中铜的添加水平在0.00~10.00μg/g的范围内不断升高时,CAT、Ctr1基因相对表达量显著增加(P<0.05)。由此得出饲粮中铜的添加水平对蜜蜂的生理机能影响显著。     

熊蜂滞育及调控机制研究进展

滞育是绝大多数昆虫为了在不利于自身生存的极端自然环境中存活下来而进行的一种生理过程,是昆虫与环境长期协同进化的结果。熊蜂滞育过程属于成虫生殖滞育,其滞育进程可能受保幼激素水平、热激蛋白表达以及物质代谢等方面的影响,但其具体的滞育调节机制尚未清楚。本文从昆虫滞育的相关假说、熊蜂滞育进程以及熊蜂滞育机制调控进展等方面进行阐述,以期为后续熊蜂工厂化繁育中滞育技术的突破奠定基础。     

放牧对短花针茅荒漠草原草群氮贮量分配及动态的影响

在封育和轮牧条件下,研究了氮在短花针茅荒漠草原草群地上与地下、鲜草、立枯草以及短花针茅、冷蒿等各类群中的分配及季节动态规律.结果表明,在此生态系统中,草群中贮氮主要分配于地下部分,放牧可加大地下部分的分配比例,同时也改变了氮在草群各种群的分配比例;短花针茅贮氮比例增加,冷蒿的贮氮比例明显减少.

Age-related changes in the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus)

The distribution, size, and appearance of Peyer's patches vary according to species. In order to determine the anatomical characteristics of Peyer's patches in small intestine of Bactrian camel, and age-related changes in the number of Peyer's patches, 40 Bactrian camels of the following four age groups were studied: young (0.5–2 years), pubertal (3–5 years), middle-aged (6–16 years), and old (17–20 years). The exact number of Peyer's patches was recorded, and the appearance of Peyer's patches was described in detail. The results indicated that Peyer's patches of Bactrian camels not only have a particular anatomical location and distinct appearance but also change with age. They were distributed in the whole small intestine and there were four distinct types of Peyer's patches: nodular, faviform, cup-shaped, and cystic form Peyer's patches. However, the nodular and cystic form Peyer’s patches are specific to Bactrian camel, which have not been found in other animals including Dromedary camel. In addition, the distribution density of Peyer's patches in ileum was the maximum, then was jejunum and duodenum. Further statistical analysis showed that the number of Peyer's patches was altered with age. The number peaked in 5-year-old camels and declined subsequently with age. However, there was little change in the size of Peyer's patches in different age groups; no age-related macroscopic variations in the shape or size of the Peyer's patches were found. Results obtained from this study provide the basic information to further study on the gastrointestinal mucosal immunity of Bactrian camel.
