Survey on the contamination of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts in the soil of public parks of Wuhan, China

Toxoplasma gondii of warm-blooded animals and humans is an important pathogenic agent throughout the world. Soil is increasingly recognized as an important source in the transmission of Toxoplasma. To attain the contamination status of T. gondii in the soil of public parks, a total of 252 soil samples were collected from September 2009 to August 2010 at different sites located in 6 public parks of Wuhan, Hubei, China and detected by PCR and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The detection limit of PCR/B1, PCR/529 and LAMP was determined to be 50, 5, and 5 tachyzoites in soil, respectively. Forty-one samples were found positive for Toxoplasma DNA by PCR on both genes, whereas LAMP products were generated in 58 samples (χ(2)=3.6328, P=0.0567). All parks were found contaminated and no significant difference was found among the parks (PCR: χ(2)=0.0072, P=0.9325; LAMP: χ(2)=0.6101, P=0.4347). However, contamination was found with significantly different among the four seasons (PCR: χ(2)=11.6066, P=0.0007; LAMP: χ(2)=12.4636, P=0.0004), with a gradual decrease in the prevalence from spring to winter on both analyses. This is the first investigation on soil contamination of public parks in China by T. gondii oocysts. The results indicate that the soil of public parks contaminated with T. gondii oocysts may play a role in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis and effective preventive measures should be considered. Moreover, the conventional PCR and LAMP used in the present study are applicable to detect T. gondii oocysts in soil samples.     

猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒双基因多组合DNA疫苗的构建

本实验根据PRRSV结构蛋白的特性和IFNγ及IL-2这两种细胞因子的特性,构建表达PRRSVGP4-GP5、GP5-M、GP5-N、GP5-IFNγ、GP5-IL-2、N-IFNγ、N-IL-2的重组质粒。这些重组质粒在真核细胞中得到了表达。用这些真核表达质粒可以免疫小猪,通过检测其对猪体免疫应答的诱导能力和接种后动物对PRRSV的抵抗力来对基因疫苗的效能进行研究,以期筛选到有效的基因疫苗并为今后进一步的研究提供思路和理论基础。     

毒死蜱与氟虫腈复配对环境生物的影响研究

本文测定了毒死蜱与氟虫腈及其复配对靶标生物小菜蛾和二化螟的室内活性,对非靶标生物意大利蜜蜂、家蚕、斑马鱼的毒性。试验结果为毒死蜱对小菜蛾,二化螟,蜜蜂,斑马鱼,家蚕的LC50分别为586.2,45.97,2.482,0.723,1.749mg/L;氟虫腈对上述生物的LC50分别为0.121 4,1.038,0.025 1,0.180,2.325mg/L;复配后对上述生物的LC50分别为0.5256,5.626,1.983,0.535,1.528mg/L。复配后对小菜蛾、二化螟的共毒系数为230.6、153.3,对蜜蜂、斑马鱼、家蚕的共毒系数为11.6、103.8、117.3。

利用APF-Ⅰ型化学引诱剂监测松褐天牛种群动态的研究

本研究选择在松褐天牛疫区湖北宜昌夷陵黄花镇、鸦鹊岭镇和武汉黄陂进行,通过使用APF-Ⅰ型化学引诱剂,监测松褐天牛种群动态变化,研究海拔高度差异和诱捕量的关系,以期为防治松褐天牛提供理论依据.结果表明,在宜昌夷陵黄花镇和鸦鹊岭镇,雌虫诱捕量明显高于雄虫,而在武汉黄陂区雄虫诱捕量高于雌虫.不同海拔高度的诱捕结果显示,诱捕量随着海拔升高逐渐增多,通过线性拟合表明具有正相关性,黄花镇、鸦鹊岭镇和黄陂地区的相关方程分别为Y=30.1157+0.1055X,Y=52.5223+0.2772X和Y=17.4218+0.0406X.     

山莨菪碱(654-2)对内毒素诱导山羊红细胞膜损伤过程中膜脂流动性的影响

用1,6-二苯基-1,3,5-己三烯(1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, DPH)分子荧光偏振技术,研究了内毒素(ET)诱导的山羊红细胞膜(ECM)损伤过程中膜脂的流动性(P)、膜脂区微粘度(-η)、脂双层分子排列有序性系数(A)的变化及山莨菪碱(654-2)对其的影响。结果表明,ET 处理组(Ⅱ组)ECM 的P、-η和A 参数在处理后3、5、7、9、12 h 均显著高于Ⅰ组和Ⅲ组(P< 0.05,P< 0.01);Ⅲ组P、-η和A 参数在处理后3 h 显著低于Ⅰ组(P< 0.01), 5、7 h 高于Ⅰ组(P< 0.05,P < 0.01)。结果显示,ET可使山羊ECM P、-η和A 增加、膜流动性降低,而654-2 能有效地改善ET诱导的这些损伤变化,支持了654-2 具有维护膜结构和功能的理论。

城市空间增长效应评价方法——以重庆市为例

在城市空间快速增长背景下,开展城市空间增长效应评价研究,有助于解决城市空间增长中出现的问题,可为确定城市空间发展战略、制定空间发展政策提供依据。城市空间增长效应评价方法旨在定量、客观地判断城市空间增长过程中要素配置与运行是否合理、高效和公平。笔者建立了结构配置效应、经济配置效应和公平配置效应3个方面的评价体系,通过目标法对城市空间增长效应进行评价,得出空间增长效应评价函数。以重庆市为例进行实证分析,结果显示：重庆市2004-2013年间的城市空间增长效应总体呈上升发展趋势,结构性、公平性趋好;合理配置效应和经济配置效应波动显著,反映出城市建设面临的用地结构优化、用地效率提升等方面的问题。
