High Throughput Sequencing to Study the Effect of Chronic Renal Failure on the Diversity and Gene Function Prediction of Gut Microbiota in Dogs

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic renal failure(CRF) on the gut microbiota diversity and predict the gene function of the flora. A total of 30 2-year-old dogs were selected and randomly divided into the chronic renal failure model group (CRF, established by renal artery ligation), sham operation control group (Sham) and healthy control group (HCG). All animals were fed normally during the 56 days of test period. The serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and urine protein / creatinine ratio (UP/C) were detected regularly during the experiment. The effects of chronic renal failure on the structure, diversity and function of gut microbiota were analyzed according to the result of bacterial 16S rDNA sequencing from fresh feces collected without contamination. The flora markers index (FMI) was constructed based on the principal component Logistic regression analysis of different microbiota in CRF group to predict the development of chronic renal failure. The results showed that: 1) The levels of Scr, BUN and UP/C in CRF group from the start of the 28th day of the experiment were significantly higher than those of HCG group and Sham group (P<0.05), and significantly higher than that of the first day of CRF group (P<0.05). 2) Compared with those before chronic renal failure (CRF group at day 0 and 28), HCG group and Sham group, the Chao 1 diversity and Shannon diversity of gut microbiota in CRF group at day 56 were significantly lower (P<0.05), while the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria significantly increased and the number of Firmicutes significantly decreased (P<0.05). 3) LEfSe analysis showed that 20 species were enriched in CRF group, mainly including Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Proteus and so on, and most of them had negative correlation with other intestinal bacteria. Functional prediction revealed that genes of those different species were mainly enriched in amino acid metabolism, sugar biosynthesis and metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism in CRF group. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of the FMI constructed with those species enriched was 0.788, which could be used as the intestinal microbial marker for CRF in dogs. In summary, chronic renal failure can reduce the diversity of intestinal microbiota, lead to the imbalance of bacterial structure and change of bacterial function. Moreover, the enriched gut microbiota in CRF group can be used as the intestinal microbial marker of CRF in dogs, and the best prediction effect can be obtained by FMI.

不同种类牧草对山羊瘤胃挥发性脂肪酸变化规律的研究

研究山羊瘤胃内放入装有不同种类牧草的尼龙袋后,瘤胃挥发性脂肪酸浓度的动态变化规律。选用带有瘤胃瘘管的山羊为实验动物,结合尼龙袋法测定3类牧草在山羊瘤胃中的挥发性脂肪酸浓度。结果表明,添加装有不同牧草的尼龙袋后,山羊瘤胃乙酸、丙酸、丁酸、总挥发性脂肪酸（TVFA）浓度及乙酸／丙酸值均呈先上升后下降的规律,并在4h达到峰值,其中乙酸浓度约为70．49％、丙酸浓度约为15．38％,瘤胃的发酵类型总体上偏向于乙酸-丙酸型．3类牧草均适用于山羊的科学饲养。由此可见,添加装有不同种类牧草的尼龙袋均会对山羊瘤胃挥发性脂肪酸产生影响,其原因主要与原料的蛋白质含量有关。     

围产期奶牛代谢与营养调控研究进展

围产期是奶牛泌乳周期中最为关键的阶段,该阶段奶牛代谢的最大特点是能量摄入减少而需求增加从而导致能量负平衡.改善围产期奶牛的营养条件,最大限度地缓解能量负平衡,对于充分发挥奶牛的生产性能至关重要.本文综述了围产期奶牛的代谢特点以及营养调控研究进展,旨在为提高奶牛的生产性能和健康水平提供新的思路.     

安氏隐孢子虫ITS-1序列的PCR扩增、克隆及分析

通过对国内三株安氏隐孢子虫(Cryptosporidium andersoni)即GD株、HN株和AH株的rDNA的内转录间隔区Ⅰ(ITS_1)序列进行PCR扩增、克隆、测序和序列分析,旨在确定ITS_1是否可作为C.andersoni分子分类的遗传标记。结果表明:GD株、HN株和AH株的ITS_1序列基本一致,仅AH株有三个碱基的差异;但与GenBank注册的C.muris和C.parvum存在种间差异,而且差异显著。说明ITS_1可作为C.andersoni种的遗传标记,从而为隐孢子虫属的种间鉴定以及进一步的分子流行病学调查和分子诊断学研究奠定了基础。

兔支气管败血波氏杆菌的分离鉴定及其免疫原性检测

2004年,山东省某一大型养兔场的20~30日龄幼兔突然大批发病死亡。病兔早期精神不振,多数病兔鼻腔流出脓性鼻液,随着病程的延长逐渐表现为呼吸困难,并出现鼻鼾声,以体况瘦弱,腹泻为主要症状。从中主要分离到4株细菌,根据其形态学特性、培养特性、生化特性、血清学反应特性等将分离菌鉴定为兔支气管败血波氏杆菌。然后对所分离到的兔支气管败血波氏杆菌菌株进行(G+C)mol%含量的测定以及16SrRNA的扩增,结果(G+C)mol%含量为61.7%~62.4%,与Kersters K结果相符(61.6%~62.6%);而该菌16SrRNA核苷酸序列与GenBank中收录的AF177666株禽波氏杆菌核苷酸序列同源性为82.7%,与本实验室保存的禽波氏杆菌及兔败血波氏杆菌参考菌株S80103株同源性高,分别为99.7%和99.9%。利用所分离到的兔支气管败血波氏杆菌菌株制备免疫原,通过免疫孕前母兔,使仔兔获得母源抗体,而使幼仔兔获得早期保护,效果较好。
