COMPARISON OF ULTRASONOGRAPHIC AND RADIOGRAPHIC MEASUREMENTS OF CANINE PROSTATE DIMENSIONS

The purposes of this study were to: 1) compare prostatic dimensions measured on radiographic and ultrasonographic images and 2) compare a subjective radiographic assessment of prostate size with a previously-described objective method. Thirty-four male dogs undergoing investigation of prostatic disorders were used. Prostate length and depth were measured from ultrasonographic and radiographic images. A subjective assessment of prostate size ('small', 'normal', or 'enlarged') was made in 29 animals by one of the authors who was unaware of radiographic or ultrasonographic measurements. In addition, the distance from sacral promontory to the pubic brim was also measured. A prostate length or depth of >70% of this distance was defined as 'enlarged' and <70% as 'normal'. After the effects of magnification on radiographic measurements were eliminated, there were no significant differences between prostatic length measured by the two methods. However, a significant difference was obtained between prostatic depth measurements. The subjective assessment agreed with a previously described objective assessment of prostatic size in 21/29 dogs for prostate length but in only 12/29 for depth. Prostatic length varied from 46.6 to 116.4% (mean 75.7%) of the distance from the pubic brim to the sacral promontory. Prostatic depth varied from 33.0% to 94.6% (mean 59.7%) of the same distance. It is recommended that prostate length, rather than depth, be used when evaluating prostate size from lateral abdominal radiographs.     

祁连山不同海拔梯度和放牧强度土壤呼吸变化特征

分析青海云杉林、灌丛林、放牧草地三者的呼吸速率差异性以及放牧强度对土壤呼吸速率的影响,结果表明:①云杉林、灌丛林和放牧草地在16:00之前的呼吸速率大小顺序为:灌从林>云杉林>草地;16:00之后顺序为:云杉林>灌丛林>草地.②土壤呼吸速率和日均温有Y=10.342e-0.0002x,R2=0.0002的线性关系.这一线性关系可以解释很多土壤呼吸的变化情况.③放牧直接影响土壤含水量,放牧强度与土壤含水量呈负相关,土壤含水量与土壤呼吸速率呈正相关.土壤含水量为:重度放牧区>过度放牧区>极度放牧区;土壤呼吸速率为:重度放牧区>过度放牧区>极度放牧区.④温度是影响土壤呼吸的主要因子,与土壤呼吸速率呈正相关,呼吸速率日均最大值出现在6～7月,为8.66umoL/(m2·s);最小值出现在5月,为0.37umol/(m2·s).     

刈割对青海早熟禾再生性的影响

通过对青海草地早熟禾不同刈割强度下再生性的研究,结果表明:刈割高度与频度不同,牧草再生能力不同。低茬高频的刈割,即留茬高度5cm、刈割频度7天/次,青海草地早熟禾再生性达到最佳水平,产草量也随之增加。     

凉茶渣的黑曲霉发酵工艺和抗氧化活性研究

为促进凉茶渣在畜牧业中的资源化利用,本研究以黑曲霉为菌种固态发酵凉茶渣,首先在单因素试验条件下考察了时间、温度、含水量、浸泡液pH、氮源和碳源对凉茶渣降解率和产物pH的影响;再根据单因素试验结果和规模化生产实际需要,以4%硫酸铵为氮源,2%葡萄糖为碳源,以降解率为考察指标,通过正交试验优化发酵工艺;并通过检测超氧自由基清除率、羟基自由基清除率和1,1-二苯基-2-三硝基苯肼（DPPH）自由基清除率,评价凉茶渣在最优工艺条件下发酵前后抗氧化活性的变化。结果发现,含水量为60%,浸泡液pH为9.0,31℃发酵168 h是凉茶渣的最佳发酵工艺参数。最佳工艺条件下凉茶渣的降解率为25.23%,发酵产物pH为4.53。当凉茶渣发酵前水提液浓度为24 mg/mL时,超氧自由基清除率为43.56%,羟基自由基清除率为47.06%,DPPH自由基清除率为90.71%;当最优条件下发酵产物水提液浓度24 mg/mL时,超氧自由基清除率为30.77%,羟基自由基清除率为95.63%,DPPH自由基清除率为87.36%。本试验结果表明,黑曲霉是适宜的凉茶渣发酵菌种,且凉茶渣经过黑曲霉发酵后具有良好的抗氧化活性。     

工程菌DH5a感受态细胞的制备及质粒pGEM的转化研究

绿色荧光蛋白（green fluorescent protein，GFP）是源于海洋生物多管水母(aequoia victoria)的一种发光蛋白，能够自身催化形成生色团并在蓝光激发下发出绿色荧光，能在活细胞内稳定表达，本试验首先从含有GFP的大肠杆菌中提取质粒，并利用胶回收试剂盒纯化质粒，采用氯化钙法将工程菌DH_5a制成感受态细胞，然后将纯化后的质粒转入已制备好的感受态细胞中，使得工程菌DH_5a转化成具有抗氨苄青霉素的大肠杆菌，并表达绿色荧光蛋白，接种于加氨苄青霉素的LB培养基上，筛选阳性克隆。

Analysis of the reactivity of anti-bovine CD8 monoclonal antibodies with cloned T cell lines and mouse L-cells transfected with bovine CD8

Mouse L-cells transfected with bovine CD8 and two Theileria parva-infected cloned T cell lines expressing bovine CD8 were used to screen the panel of ten monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) submitted to the workshop. Eight of the ten mAbs reacted with the transfectant and both the cloned T cell lines. However, two mAbs CC58 and BAT82A did not recognise the transfectant and only reacted with one of the T cell lines. Further biochemical studies indicated that the eight mAbs react with both homo- and heterodimeric forms of bovine CD8 whilst the two mAbs CC58 and BAT82A react with only heterodimeric forms. These data suggest that bovine DC8 is encoded by two genes as is the case in mouse and man.
