油茶穗条芽位对嫁接育苗的影响

以5年生油茶采穗圃中‘长林4号’、‘长林40号’和‘长林53号’作为试验材料,剪取树体上部具有6个芽位的穗条进行试验。通过试验发现:1年生嫁接苗中,随着芽位的降低,植株的生长量也随之降低,但未能起到显著影响植物生长的作用,品种因素是影响生长的关键因素;苗高和根系长度伴随着芽位降低而降低,表明地上和地下部分能迅速地进行协调生长,呈现出随着芽位的降低从上到下逐次递减的趋势。

CoRoT measures solar-like oscillations and granulation in stars hotter than the Sun

Oscillations of the Sun have been used to understand its interior structure. The extension of similar studies to more distant stars has raised many difficulties despite the strong efforts of the international community over the past decades. The CoRoT (Convection Rotation and Planetary Transits) satellite, launched in December 2006, has now measured oscillations and the stellar granulation signature in three main sequence stars that are noticeably hotter than the sun. The oscillation amplitudes are about 1.5 times as large as those in the Sun; the stellar granulation is up to three times as high. The stellar amplitudes are about 25% below the theoretic values, providing a measurement of the nonadiabaticity of the process ruling the oscillations in the outer layers of the stars.     

Neutrophil myeloperoxidase measurements in plasma, laminar tissue, and skin of horses given black walnut extract

OBJECTIVE: To compare measurements of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in plasma, laminar tissues, and skin obtained from control horses and horses given black walnut heartwood extract (BWHE). ANIMALS: 22 healthy 5- to 15-year-old horses. PROCEDURES: Horses were randomly assigned to 4 groups as follows: a control group given water (n = 5) and 3 experimental groups given BWHE (17) via nasogastric intubation. Experimental groups consisted of 5, 6, and 6 horses that received BWHE and were euthanatized at 1.5, 3, and 12 hours after intubation, respectively. Control horses were euthanatized at 12 hours after intubation. Plasma samples were obtained hourly for all horses. Laminar tissue and skin from the middle region of the neck were harvested at the time of euthanasia. Plasma and tissue MPO concentrations were determined via an ELISA; tissue MPO activity was measured by use of specific immunologic extraction followed by enzymatic detection. RESULTS: Tissues and plasma of horses receiving BWHE contained significantly higher concentrations of MPO beginning at hour 3. Laminar tissue and skin from horses in experimental groups contained significantly higher MPO activity than tissues from control horses. Concentrations and activities of MPO in skin and laminar tissues were similar over time. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: In horses, BWHE administration causes increases in MPO concentration and activity in laminar tissue and skin and the time of increased MPO concentration correlates with emigration of WBCs from the vasculature. These findings support the hypothesis that activation of peripheral WBCs is an early step in the pathogenesis of acute laminitis.     

p38MAPK信号通路选择性调节FSH对甾体生成 的诱导作用研究

利用乙烯雌酚（DES）处理23日龄SD大鼠，分离卵巢颗粒细胞(GC)进行无血清培养。结果表明，FSH (50ng/m1) 处理GC，可迅速激活有丝分裂原蛋白激酶（p38 MAPK），FSH处理5min便可观察到磷酸化的p38 MAPK；FSH处理30min，磷酸化的p38 MAPK水平达到最高;向培养液中加入H89(蛋白激酶A抑制剂，10μM)，则显著抑制了FSH对p38 MAPK的激活作用，提示这种激活作用依赖于蛋白激酶A(PKA)。用 SB203580(p38MAPK抑制剂，20μM)抑制p38 MAPK激活，则进一步提高了FSH对孕酮和甾体生成快速调节蛋白（StAR）的诱导作用，同时降低了FSH对雌激素生成的促进作用(p<0.01)。RT-PCR结果显示：抑制p38 MAPK活性后，FSH对StAR mRNA刺激作用明显增强，但对细胞色素P450芳香化酶（P450arom）mRNA的诱导作用却减弱了(p<0.05)。激光共聚焦和蛋白印迹结果显示：在GC中，StAR蛋白主要分布在线粒体中；与对照组相比，FSH显著提高了StAR的荧光强度和蛋白水平；抑制p38MAPK活性则增强了FSH对StAR蛋白表达的诱导作用。     

A Fast One-Step Scanning Thinning Algorithm

A new quick thinning algorithm was presented in this paper,which assigneddifferent weights to different pixels near the skeleton pixels and rules out the im possible pixels in thethinning procedure. It needs neither iteration on pixel panel nor detection on every pixel such thatthe time consumed is greatly lessened. A filling algorithm is also offered for better results.Experiment on variety of binary patterns showed that it could get both a high speed and a goodskeleton shape compared with other algorithms,This new algorithm reaches perfect result.     

Potato Facing Global Challenges: How,How Much,How Well?

This paper surveys issues and developments emerging from the keynotes and participants’ presentations during the 20th EAPR Triennial Conference, held in Versailles, France, in July 2017, and puts them into the perspective of the general theme of the meeting: potato facing global challenges. It reveals important and far-reaching innovations in many areas of potato research, including breeding (genomic selection, high-throughput phenotyping, genome editing), plant protection (biocontrol) and seed production, but also a general innovation approach that follows an incremental pathway (and maintains many existing lock-in situations), and favours substitution strategies over system re-conceptualisation and testing, however urgently needed these might be to achieve or improve the sustainability of potato production in the medium to long run. While the assets and importance of potato as both a wholesome food and an essential part of future worldwide food systems were once more evidenced and highlighted, the contributions also revealed (i) a growing dichotomy between research activities carried out in high-income vs in low- or moderate-income countries, respectively; (ii) some gaps in the assessment of the sustainability of potato production in the medium to long run (external inputs such as fertilisers or pesticides, land and energy use efficiency); and (iii) persistent weaknesses in the integration of individual solutions into complete, operational potato production systems. Some areas for future investigations are identified.     

Establishment of diagnostic criteria for feline nonflea-induced hypersensitivity dermatitis

Hypersensitivity dermatitides (HD) are commonly seen in cats, and they are usually caused by environmental, food and/or flea allergens. Affected cats normally present with one of the following clinical reaction patterns: head and neck excoriations, usually symmetrical self-induced alopecia, eosinophilic skin lesions or miliary dermatitis. Importantly, none of these clinical presentations is considered to be pathognomonic for HD skin diseases, and the diagnosis of HD is usually based on the exclusion of other pruritic diseases and on a positive response to therapy. The objectives of this study were to propose sets of criteria for the diagnosis of nonflea-induced HD (NFHD). We recruited 501 cats with pruritus and skin lesions and compared clinical parameters between cats with NFHD (encompassing those with nonflea, nonfood HD and those with food HD), flea HD and other pruritic conditions. Using simulated annealing techniques, we established two sets of proposed criteria for the following two different clinical situations: (i) the diagnosis of NFHD in a population of pruritic cats; and (ii) the diagnosis of NFHD after exclusion of cats with flea HD. These criteria sets were associated with good sensitivity and specificity and may be useful for homogeneity of enrolment in clinical trials and to evaluate the probability of diagnosis of NFHD in clinical practice. Finally, these criteria were not useful to differentiate cats with NFHD from those with food HD.
