Kinetic analysis of 5 sugar probes in dog serum after orogastric administration

The objective of this study was to describe the kinetics of orally administered sugar probes in serum for the assessment of gastrointestinal permeability and intestinal absorptive capacity in dogs. Eight healthy dogs received lactulose (L), rhamnose (R), methylglucose (M), xylose (X), and sucrose (S) by orogastric intubation. Baseline blood samples and subsequently timed blood samples were taken during 24 hours. Sugars were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Statistical analysis was performed using a Friedman test with Dunn’s multiple comparison post test and a Kruskal-Wallis test. Statistical significance was set at a P-value < 0.05. Sugars in serum were detected after orogastric administration. Concentrations of L and R were significantly different from the baseline from 90 to 240 and 60 to 300 min, respectively, and those of X, M, and S were different from 30 to 240 min post-dosing (P < 0.05 for all 5 probes). Maximum concentrations of L and R were obtained at 180 min, while X, M, and S reached their maximum concentrations at 90 min post-dosing. For all sugars, no statistically significant differences were found between concentrations at 90, 120, and 180 min or between the coefficients of variation (CV%) of those mean concentrations for these 3 time points. Based on these data, the collection of 2 blood samples, one taken at baseline and the other obtained between 90 and 180 minutes after dosing, might be sufficient for the determination of gastrointestinal permeability and mucosal absorptive capacity using these 5 sugar probes in canine serum.     

红树林湿地土壤CH4产生率及其土壤理化因素影响的研究

本文对海南东塞港和厦门西港的两个红树林（白骨壤群落）的土壤ＣＨ４产生率及其土壤理化因子的影响进行了研究。海南红树林和厦门红树林的土壤ＣＨ４产生率平均值分别为３．５９和１１．５９ｎｇ／ｇｄ,高于海岸光滩的值不（１．６２ｎｇ／ｋｇ）而低于红树林伐迹地的值（４８．９６ｎｇ／ｇｄ）,说明红树林植对显地ＣＨ４的产生有促进作用,且这种促进作用主要是通过根系腐解来实现的。相隔约５个纬度的两个红树林的土壤ＣＨ４产
