Uterine Expression of WNT7A and β-catenin After Induction of Oestrus in Sheep

WNT7A and β-catenin localisations and roles in regulating periimplantation ovine conceptus development under natural estrous conditions have been elaborated.However,their locations and expression patterns have not been reported under induction of oestrus.The localisation,expression and function of WNT7A and β-catenin in the uterine tissues of the early pregnant and non-pregnant sheep on days 10,12,14,16 and 18 following artificial induction of oestrus were investigated by means of in situ hybridisation,real-time RT-PCR,immuno-histochemistry and western blotting methods.WNT7A and β-catenin mRNA and protein were both restricted to the apical surfaces of the uterine luminal epithelium (LE) and glandular epithelium (GE).In pregnant sheep,protein localisation of WNT7A and β-catenin was observed both in the endometrial LE and GE.Their staining presented on day 10,increased between day 12 and day 16,and decreased on day 18.WNT7A and β-catenin mRNA and protein expression increased initially and then decreased from day 10 to day 18,peaking on day 16,and β-catenin reaching a peak on day 18 in the uterine tissues of pregnant sheep (p0.05).By contrast,no significant changes in WNT7A and β-catenin mRNA and protein expression levels were observed from day 10 to day 18 of the oestrus cycle in the uterine tissues of non-pregnant sheep (p0.05).Additionally,WNT7A and β-catenin mRNA and protein expression levels in the uterine tissues of the early pregnant sheep were significantly higher than those of non-pregnant sheep (p0.05).Treatment of endometrial epithelial cells with WNT7A increased the mRNA expressions of β-catenin,c-myc and Cyclin D1.These results provided an underlying mechanism of periimplantation ovine conceptus development under induction of oestrus.     

Evolution of spatial structure patterns of city networks in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from the perspective of corporate pledge linkage

The pledge of stock rights is a method for measuring the external horizontal connections of enterprises, which is more suitable to represent the city network compared with the vertical connections of enterprises. Meanwhile, it is greatly significant to express the relationships of regional spaces. The paper characterizes and explores the evolution of urban spatial structure with complex network research methods to enrich the relevant works on city networks in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2011 to 2017. The results are as follows: First, from 2011 to 2017, the pledge of stock rights among cities was enhanced significantly, and the trend of the city networks' characteristics become strengthened and more complicated. Second, cities in the Yangtze River Delta have relatively high connection values, however, cities in the western area are holding peripheral positions within the city network. Third, due to the advantages of economic agglomeration and radiation, the provincial capital have become the core nodes in the city network. Fourth, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing have dominant positions within city networks in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Particularly, Shanghai, as one of the leading financial centers in China, has a growing influence on other cities and gradually evolved into a regional growth pole city and the first core city.     

重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的肉鸡TD中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响

【目的】肉鸡胫骨软骨发育不良（TD）是肉鸡常见的一种骨骼性疾病,研究重组GSTA3蛋白对福美双诱导的TD肉鸡软骨细胞中抗凋亡基因BAG-3表达的影响,为治疗TD提供新的思路和方法。【方法】将120羽1周龄肉雏鸡随机分为6组（编号为A、B、C、D、E、F组）。A、B、C组为基础日粮对照组,D、E、F组为添加福美双日粮诱导TD组。试验饲喂福美双2 d诱发TD,在添加福美双第1、3、5、7天,腿部肌肉注射重组鸡GSTA3蛋白和磷酸盐缓冲液,A组与D组注射（100 μg·kg ^-1）磷酸盐缓冲液;B组与E组注射低剂量（100 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3;C组与F组注射高剂量（200 μg·kg ^-1）GSTA3。试验历时23 d。添加福美双后1、2、4、6、10和15 d采集胫骨生长板。通过Real-time qPCR检测BAG-3基因的mRNA水平,利用免疫组化来检测BAG-3蛋白表达水平。【结果】Real-time qPCR结果显示,TD损伤修复期内,相比较于基础日粮对照组,福美双对照组肉鸡胫骨生长板中BAG-3 mRNA的表达水平基本都显著上调（P<0.05）;相比较于福美双对照组,E和F组在第2、4、10、15天都有显著差异,且在第10和15天显著低于福美双对照组（P<0.05）,表明与D组相比恢复较快。免疫组化结果表明BAG-3蛋白在肉鸡胫骨软骨细胞的增殖区和前肥大区无表达,只在肥大区细胞质中表达;福美双组与空白对照组相比,BAG-3蛋白表达增加;福美双高低剂量组与未注射蛋白的福美双组相比,重组GSTA3增加了肥大区的蛋白表达水平（第10和15天）。【结论】在福美双诱导肉鸡发生TD的过程中,GSTA3重组蛋白能够通过调控BAG-3表达参与凋亡途径,抑制细胞凋亡。在TD损伤修复期,注射GSTA3后使抗凋亡基因BAG-3蛋白表达增强,从而可参与细胞凋亡来缓解TD损伤,使得肉鸡TD生长板功能较快地恢复正常。

尿素类型与灌溉管理对玉米节水保肥的影响

水分和氮素管理对提高作物产量具有重要作用。笔者研究尿素类型与灌溉管理对玉米节水保肥的影响以达到玉米高氮肥利用效率和高产田的生产目标。本研究在2016—2017年开展2年完全随机区组设计试验,讨论了尿素类型（普通尿素和控释尿素）及灌溉对玉米土壤和氮素利用的影响。每种尿素类型设置2种氮素水平,分别为75、150 kg N/hm ²,以不施氮肥为对照。水分设置2种灌溉水平,分别为全生育期不灌水和灌浆阶段灌水85 mm。结果表明：在灌溉与施氮水平相同下,0~40 cm土层应用控释尿素处理氮含量较高,但在更深的土壤层低于普通尿素处理;相对于不灌溉,灌溉增加了硝态氮的损失,但施用控释尿素的处理硝态氮损失低于施用普通尿素处理;灌溉条件下施用控释尿素可以提高玉米氮素吸收,并使更多的氮向籽粒中转移;与普通尿素相比,控释尿素提高了氮肥利用率,降低土壤对氮需求的依赖。控释尿素低氮的释放可以减少硝态氮在土壤中的存留时间而迅速被玉米吸收,从而降低硝态氮的损失风险,提高了土壤氮肥利用效率。综上,控释尿素与少量灌溉相结合适用于华北半湿润地区达到玉米高氮肥利用效率和高产田的生产目标。
