Identification of polymorphisms and association analysis with meat quality traits in the porcine KIAA1717 and HUMMLC2B genes

Skeletal muscle genes are potential candidates for production and meat quality. Screening a subtracted cDNA library constructed with mRNA obtained from longissimus dorsi muscles of F1 hybrids Landrace × Yorkshire and their female parents Yorkshire, we isolated two partial sequences coding for the H3-K4-specific methyltransferase (KIAA1717) and skeletal muscle myosin regulatory light chain (HUMMLC2B) genes. Database search revealed KIAA1717 and HUMMLC2B encoded proteins with SET domain and EF-hand calcium binding motif, respectively. In the present work we identified their partial polymorphisms and two SNPs, one (C1354T) at the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of KIAA1717 and one (A345G) at the SINE (PRE-1) element of HUMMLC2B, both created/disrupted a restriction site for endonuclease Msp I. The selected pigs were genotyped at the KIAA1717 C1354T and HUMMLC2B A345G sites by means of a PCR-RFLP protocol. Significant associations were observed for the KIAA1717 C1354T polymorphic site with meat marbling (longissimus doris (p < 0.05), biceps femoris (p < 0.01)) and intramuscular fat (p < 0.01). HUMMLC2B A345G were significantly associated with meat pH (longissimus doris (p < 0.05), biceps femoris (p < 0.01)), drip loss (p < 0.01), water holding capacity (p < 0.01) and meat color value (longissimus doris (p < 0.01), biceps femoris (p < 0.05)). Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.     

缩宫素使用不当致母犬子宫破裂1例

缩宫素,又名催产素,临床主要用于催产、引产和产后子宫止血,以及治疗子宫积脓、促进子宫内容物的排出等.但缩宫素的使用方法很有讲究,如果使用不当可导致胎儿窒息死亡、子宫破裂等后果.我们在临床门诊上就遇到一起使用缩宫素不当导致的子宫破裂病例.     

高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒实时荧光定量PCR检测方法的建立

根据GenBank公布的24株高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒毒株和5株PRRSV经典毒株的保守区基因序列,使用PrimerExpress 3.0软件设计并合成实时荧光定量PCR（Real-timeFluorescent Quantitative PCR,Real-time FQ-PCR）用引物和探针,建立了Real-time FQ-PCR检测方法以鉴别检测高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒。用建立的检测方法对已定量的10倍倍比稀释的质粒pGET-258为标准品进行检测,并与常规PCR进行比较。结果显示,该Real-time FQ-PCR方法敏感度可达1.5个拷贝,比常规PCR敏感度高100倍,且批内和批间重复性检测结果的变异系数均小于2%。用该方法与常规PCR方法及病毒分离方法对18份临床样品进行对比检测,显示该方法灵敏度高、成本低,并且能够对样品中病毒进行定量,为高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征的快速鉴别诊断提供了有效的技术手段。

Pharmacokinetics of mequindox and one of its major metabolites in chickens after intravenous, intramuscular and oral administration

Pharmacokinetics of mequindox and one of its major metabolites (M) was determined in chickens after intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.) and oral administration of mequindox at a single dose of 10 (i.v. and i.m.) or 20 mg/kg b.w. (oral). Plasma concentration profiles were analyzed by a non-compartmental pharmacokinetic method. Following i.v., i.m. and oral administration, the areas under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-∞)) were 0.71±0.15, 0.67±0.21, 0.25±0.10 μg h/mL (mequindox) and 37.24±7.98, 36.40±9.16, 86.39±16.01 μg h/mL (M), respectively. The terminal elimination half-lives (t(1/2λz)) were determined to be 0.15±0.06, 0.21±0.09, 0.49±0.23 h (mequindox) and 5.36±0.86, 5.39±0.52, 5.22±0.35 h (M), respectively. The bioavailabilities (F) of mequindox were 89.4% and 16.6% for i.m. and oral administration. Steady-state distribution volume (V(ss)) of 1.20±0.34 L/kg and total body clearance (Cl(B)) of 13.57±2.16 L/kg h were determined for mequindox after i.v. dosing. After single i.m. and oral administration, peak plasma concentrations (C(max)) of 3.04±1.32, 0.36±0.13 μg/mL (mequindox) and 3.81±0.92, 5.99±1.16 μg/mL (M) were observed at t(max) of 0.08±0.02, 0.32±0.12 h (mequindox) and 0.66±0.19, 6.67±1.03 h (M), respectively. The results showed that mequindox was rapidly absorbed after i.m. or p.o. administration and most of mequindox was transformed to metabolites in chickens, with much higher C(max)s and AUCs of metabolite (M) than those of mequindox in plasma.     

昆明翠湖越冬红嘴鸥数量变化及投食量调查分析

昆明翠湖公园是红嘴鸥进城越冬数量最集中的地方,其数量分布在昆明水域内具有一定的代表性,翠湖公园是红嘴鸥的主要投食点,每年冬季,有大量市民和游客前来观鸥、喂鸥、护鸥。每年11月至次年3月翠湖公园的红嘴鸥数量存在规律性的变化,游客每天投放多少饲料量,要结合红嘴鸥的日食量和数量,受节假日的影响,游客数量变动大,投食量依赖于游客数量,经常出现喂鸥过量或不足的情况,翠湖水体补给有限,过量投食会带来富营养化污染,投食不足则不利于红嘴鸥的保护。通过对2009年11月至2010年3月期间昆明翠湖越冬红嘴鸥的数量进行分期统计,得出2010年翠湖越冬红嘴鸥前、中、后期的数量变化,参照红嘴鸥的能量代谢标准,分析计算昆明翠湖红嘴鸥饲料的合理投放量,为科学喂鸥提供依据,便于红嘴鸥和翠湖水体的保护。
