Comparative analysis of proteomic profiles between endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas in ewes during the peri-implantation period

The endometrium of sheep consists of plenty of raised aglandular areas called caruncular (C), and intensely glandular intercaruncular areas (IC). In order to better understand the endometrium involved mechanisms of implantation, we used LC-MS/MS technique to profile the proteome of ovine endometrial C areas and IC areas separately during the peri-implantation period, and then compared the proteomic profiles between these two areas. We successfully detected 1740 and 1813 proteins in C areas and IC areas respectively. By comparing the proteome of these two areas, we found 170 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (P < 0.05), functional bioinformatics analysis showed these DEPs were mainly involved in growth and remodeling of endometrial tissue, cell adhesion and protein transport, and so on. Our study, for the first time, provided a proteomic reference for elucidating the differences between C and IC areas, as an integrated function unit respectively, during the peri-implantation period. The results could help us to better understand the implantation in the ewes. In addition, we established a relatively detailed protein database of ovine endometrium, which provide a unique reference for further studies.     

种猪性能测定饲料配方筛选及饲喂方式选择试验

为探讨适合四川省实际的种猪测定饲料配方及适宜的饲喂方式,本试验采用了两因子重复设计,即三种不同营养浓度的饲料、自由采食和定量给食两种饲喂方式,对48头杜长仔猪进行试验,测定猪在30～100千克体重阶段的日增重和耗料指数,并观察不同钙、磷水平对猪四肢的影响.试验结果表明三种不同营养浓度的饲料和饲喂方式对猪日增重和耗料指数均无显著影响,但营养浓度略低的饲料成本较低.为便于管理,采食方式建议采用定量给食的饲喂方式,对试猪四肢观察结果表明,钙、磷水平最高的一种饲料,可在一定程度上缓解因生长过快造成的四肢病症.

内蒙古地区暖棚养羊的必要性和太阳能采暖的应用

内蒙古大部分地区的严寒季节长达6~7个月,受寒冷气候条件的影响,散养羊生长缓慢,饲料消耗量增加,掉膘现象严重,产羔率和羔羊成活率也受到严重影响,大大降低了养羊的经济效益。建筑暖棚不仅能提供充足的热能,还可防止羊只掉膘。但是,常用的取暖方式以燃烧木材、煤或羊粪砖为主,存在着污染环境的隐患,并会受资源短缺的限制。太阳能作为一种新能源,是人类可以利用的最丰富的能源,可以就地开发利用,不存在运输问题,是一种洁净的能源,不会造成污染和公害。因此,利用太阳能采暖和暖棚养羊能够推动畜牧业向健康、高效、资源节约的合理方向发展。     

一起蛋雏鸡皮肤型鸡痘病毒与大肠埃希菌混合感染的病理学观察

采用细菌分离技术、病理组织学观察、PCR鉴定及致病性试验对临床一例疑似雏蛋鸡皮肤型鸡痘混合感染进行了确诊。结果显示,病鸡眼分泌物及脚趾结痂处均分离到大肠埃希菌,内脏器官未分离到细菌。组织学观察发现,在皮肤痘痂和眼睑组织内发现上皮细胞呈水泡变性,空泡化,胞质内出现圆形嗜酸性包涵体,腺胃胃壁增厚,复管腺腺腔内可见局灶性的淋巴细胞样细胞聚集,肺脏淤血,散在的肝细胞和肾小管上皮细胞变性、坏死,其他内脏器官未出现明显病变。体表病灶内PCR扩增出1 358bp的禽痘病毒的特异性片段。将痘痂病料接种9日龄的SPF鸡胚可致鸡胚死亡,呈暗红色。确诊该起病例为皮肤型鸡痘伴大肠埃希菌局部感染。     

BVDV对后备牛生长发育状况及繁殖性能的影响

牛病毒性腹泻/黏膜病(BVD/MD)是一种严重危害奶牛健康的病毒性传染病,其病原为牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)。BVDV感染牛后主要表现两种状态,即一过性感染(TI)和持续性感染(PI)。BVD在牛场的流行,可严重影响奶牛的生产性能、繁殖性能及牛群健康状况,对奶牛的影响可表现为流产、胎儿畸形、腹泻和免疫抑制等。怀孕母牛在特定妊娠阶段感染BVDV后,可娩出PI犊牛,部分PI犊牛能像正常犊牛一样生长发育至成年,但其生长发育状况和繁殖性能较同龄健康牛差异十分明显。为评价BVDV对后备牛生长发育及繁殖状况的影响,笔者采用ELISA方法检出北京地区28个规模化奶牛场141头BVDV-PI牛,并与同龄健康牛生长发育及繁殖数据相比较,结果表明,BVDV-PI后备牛各月龄段的体高、体重均低于健康后备牛,其首次输精日龄、配准日龄、耗精量明显高于健康后备牛,而一次情期受胎率显著低于健康后备牛。数据显示,BVDV严重影响后备牛的生长发育及繁殖状况。

The 9th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium

The orchestrated migration of T lymphocytes is important for generating immunity and maintaining immunological tolerance. T lymphocytes can be divided into two populations, αβ T cells and γδ T cells, on the basis of their expression of different forms of the T cell receptor (TCR). γδ T cells represent an innate subset of T lymphocytes that play an important role in early immune response against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. γδ T cells are abundant in the epithelial tissues. In ruminants and pigs, they constitute a major proportion of the blood lymphocyte pool, unlike in rodents and humans. Although recent studies using large animals have suggested that epithelial γδ T cells are the major source of γδ T cells in peripheral blood, and that they recirculate between epithelial tissues and blood via lymphatics, the migration pattern of these cells is largely unknown. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on γδ T cell migration under steady-state conditions. A deeper understanding of γδ T cell migration may enable therapeutic modulation of innate immune responses.
