Effects of concentrate‐to‐forage ratios and 2‐methylbutyrate supplementation on ruminal fermentation,bacteria abundance and urinary excretion of purine derivatives in Chinese Simmental steers

This study evaluated the effects of dietary concentrate levels and 2‐methylbutyrate (2MB ) supplementation on performance, ruminal fermentation, bacteria abundance, microbial enzyme activity and urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD ) in steers. Eight ruminally cannulated Simmental steers (12 months of age; 389 ± 3.7 kg of body weight) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement. Moderate‐concentrate (400 g/kg diet [MC ]) or high‐concentrate (600 g/kg diet [HC ]) diets were fed with or without 2MB (0 g/day [2MB ?] or 15.0 g/day [2MB +]). Dry matter intake and average daily gain increased, but feed conversion ratio decreased with the HC diet or 2MB supplementation. Ruminal pH decreased, but total volatile fatty acid increased with the HC diet or 2MB supplementation. Molar proportion of acetate and acetate‐to‐propionate ratio decreased with the HC diet, but increased with 2MB supplementation. Propionate molar proportion and ruminal NH ₃‐N content increased with the HC diet, but decreased with 2MB supplementation. Neutral detergent fibre degradability decreased with the HC diet, but increased with 2MB supplementation. Crude protein degradability increased with the HC diet or 2MB supplementation. Abundance of Ruminococcus albus , Ruminococcus flavefaciens , Fibrobacter succinogenes and Bufyrivibrio fibrisolvens as well as activities of carboxymethyl cellulase, cellobiase, xylanase and pectinase decreased with the HC diet, but increased with 2MB supplementation. However, abundance of Prevotella ruminicola and Ruminobacter amylophilus as well as activities of α‐amylase and protease increased with the HC diet or 2MB supplementation. Total PD excretion also increased with the HC diet or 2MB supplementation. The results suggested that growth performance, ruminal fermentation, CP degradability and total PD excretion increased with increasing dietary concentrate level from 40% to 60% or 2MB supplementation. The observed diet × 2MB interaction indicated that supplementation of 2MB was more efficacious for improving growth performance, ruminal fermentation and total PD excretion with promoted ruminal bacteria abundance and enzyme activity in the MC diet than in the HC diet.     

植物与土壤中醇类化合物对高寒草甸退化指示作用初探

醇类化合物是一类重要的生物标记物,被广泛用于土壤及沉积物中有机物质的溯源。为探究醇类化合物对高寒草甸退化指示作用规律,采用野外调查与气相色谱质谱联用(GC-MS)分析方法,对高寒草甸植物与土壤中醇类进行测定和分析。结果表明,高寒草甸植物中醇种类数为2~21,碳数为4~37,不饱和醇种类数高于饱和醇。退化土壤中检出9-甲基-10-顺式十五烯-1-醇、2-亚甲基-5α-胆甾烷-3β-醇、1-三十七烷醇,而在未退化土壤中未检出。高寒草甸中植物和土壤醇的种类大小关系为退化植物退化土壤未退化植物未退化土壤,植物和土壤中相同的醇有很强的相关性(R2=0.871)。植物和土壤醇类的分布特征及相关性分析表明,醇类化合物可以用作标记物来指示高寒草甸退化。

北京市部分地区城镇居民狂犬病认知情况初步调查

为了解北京市部分地区城镇居民对狂犬病的认知情况及其影响因素,随机选取海淀区、怀柔区、延庆区9个居民区的160名当地居民开展问卷调查,得到有效问卷112份;采用单因素分析方法对调查数据进行统计分析。结果显示,83.92%(94/112)的居民对狂犬病知识认知程度一般,15.18%(17/112)的居民部分了解,而仅0.89%(1/112)的居民非常了解。其中,居民对狂犬病易感动物、传播途径和被犬咬伤后正确处理方法等问题回答正确率低于40%。单因素分析发现,文化程度对北京地区城镇居民狂犬病认知水平有较大影响(P0.05),随着文化程度的提高,回答正确率不断提高。另外,当地居民希望通过微信、微博等新媒体(80.36%)、电视(78.57%)、社区宣传(72.32%)等方式获取狂犬病知识。以上结果表明,北京市城镇居民对狂犬病认知程度一般,对狂犬病易感动物、传播途径和被犬咬伤后正确处理等方面认知水平较低。因此,应选择微信、微博等新媒体,结合电视、社区宣传等方式,开展狂犬病流行病学等方面的宣传,以此提升北京市城镇居民的狂犬病认知水平。

5‐Aminolevulinic Acid Activates Antioxidative Defence System and Seedling Growth in Brassica napus L. under Water‐Deficit Stress

The present study assesses the effects of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA, 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg l^?1) on the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. ZS758) seedlings under water‐deficit stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000, 0 and ?0.3 MPa). Water‐deficit stress imposed negative effects on seedling growth by reducing shoot biomass, cotyledon water potential, chlorophyll content and non‐enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione and ascorbic acid) levels. On the other hand, water‐deficit stress enhanced the malondialdehyde (MDA) content, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, enzymatic antioxidants activities, reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) and reduced/oxidized ascorbic acid (ASA/DHA) ratio in seedlings. Application of ALA at lower dosages (0.1 and 1 mg l^?1) improved shoot weight and chlorophyll contents, and decreased MDA in rape seedlings, whereas moderately higher dosage of ALA (10 mg l^?1) hampered the growth. The study also indicated that 1 mg l^?1 ALA improved chlorophyll content, but reduced MDA content and ROS production significantly under water‐deficit stress. Lower dosages of ALA (0.1 and 1 mg l^?1) also enhanced GSH/GSSG and ASA/DHA as compared to the seedlings under water‐deficit stress. The antioxidant enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, catalase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase) enhanced their activities remarkably with 1 mg l^?1 ALA treatment under water‐deficit stress. It was also revealed that 1 mg l^?1 ALA treatment alone induced the expression of APX, CAT and GR substantially and under water‐deficit stress conditions ALA treatment could induce the expression of POD, CAT and GR to a certain degree. These results indicated that 0.1–1 mg l^?1 ALA could enhance the water‐deficit stress tolerance of oilseed seedlings through improving the biomass accumulation, maintaining a relative high ratio of GSH/GSSG and ASA/DHA, enhancing the activities of the specific antioxidant enzymes and inducing the expression of the specific antioxidant enzyme genes.

为探讨RcCNGC2在蓖麻耐盐中的作用,以通蓖5号叶片为材料,克隆获得环核苷酸门控离子通道RcCNGC2完整编码区序列(CDS),并对该序列进行序列比对、蛋白结构分析,构建多元表达载体,分析了在盐胁迫下蓖麻RcCNGC2基因根、茎、叶组织中6个时间点的表达量变化。结果显示,RcCNGC2 CDS长度为2 148 bp,编码715个氨基酸,蛋白分子量为34.15 ku,等电点为9.96,存在5个跨膜结构域。氨基酸序列一致性分析表明,RcCNGC2与橡胶树一致性最高,达89.15%。qRT-PCR分析结果显示,NaCl处理后RcCNGC2表达量在根中上调且差异显著,在茎、叶中随NaCl处理时间延长而显著减少。综上,RcCNGC2在蓖麻受到盐胁迫时起重要信号传导作用。     

维生素A调节动物一氧化氮的生成及其相关机制

动物机体由于旺盛的新陈代谢或在受到外界有害因素刺激的情况下会产生大量一氧化氮(NO),进而损伤细胞中的蛋白质、类脂膜和DNA,引发细胞炎症并阻断细胞信号通路,使机体产生氧化应激。维生素A可以有效地调控NO的生成,提高机体抗氧化水平并清除自由基,预防细胞炎症及氧化应激的发生。本文主要综述了维生素A对动物NO生成的调节作用及其相关机理的研究进展,对今后深入研究其调节机理、科学补充维生素A及提高机体的抗氧化功能具有一定参考价值。     

大豆种子成熟蛋白PM40基因表达方式分析及其启动子预测

研究大豆种子成熟蛋白PM40基因在不同逆境条件下及大豆各组织中的表达情况,并对其上游启动子序列进行生物信息学预测,为揭示PM40基因表达本质及其启动子的功能研究、利用提供理论依据。利用qRT-PCR方法,检测PM40基因在干旱、盐、低温、脱落酸条件下的表达;比较该基因在大豆根、茎、叶、花、30DAF、60DAF和90DAF中的表达;克隆PM40基因5′端上游启动子序列,并预测其含有的顺式作用元件。结果表明,PM40基因在干旱、低温和脱落酸处理不同时间下,与未处理相比,表达量均下降,在盐处理条件下,只有处理2 h时表达升高,其余处理时间基因表达下降,说明PM40基因受干旱、低温和脱落酸诱导表达下降,在盐诱导2 h时表达升高;PM40基因在大豆种子中的表达相对较高,尤其是60DAF和90DAF的种子中,相对于根的表达量为35.76,239.75倍;以大豆基因组DNA为模板,克隆PM40基因5′端上游启动子序列1 581 bp,生物信息学预测表明,PM40基因启动子序列中包含多种与种子高表达相关的顺式元件。推测大豆PM40基因启动子可能具有种子特异表达特性。
