Effect of Breeding Activity on the Microflora of the External Genitalia and in the Semen of Stallions,and the Relationship Between Micro‐organisms on the Skin and on the External Genitalia

A possible role of breeding activities in the composition of the microbial population in stallions' external genitalia (EG) and the relationship between micro‐organisms colonizing the skin of the abdomen and the ones colonizing the EG have not been studied. In experiment 1, EG microbiological samples were collected from 41 stallions used for both natural cover and semen collection (BST) and from 18 non‐breeding stallions (NBST). A higher (p < 0.05) frequency of isolation of potentially pathogenic species was found for BST. Age did not influence number of micro‐organism species isolated both in BST and NBST. In experiment 2, the microbial content of the EG and semen was compared in 23 BST. Most micro‐organisms isolated from the EG were present in semen, albeit with a numerically lower prevalence. In 7 stallions, six microbial species isolated from semen were absent from the EG cultures, suggesting contamination by the operator. In experiment 3, a numerically higher number of micro‐organism species was isolated from the EG of 31 stallions, than from their skin of the ventral abdomen in contact with the penis or from the skin of the thorax. With the sole exception of Escherichia coli, potentially pathogenic bacteria were only isolated from the EG but not from the skin. Results suggest that breeding activity increased the number of species colonizing the EG; most species isolated from the EG were also found in semen even if with a lower frequency, and additional semen contamination seemed to occur during its manipulation. Many micro‐organism species of the skin were also isolated from the penis, but independently of being or not in contact with the penis, skin did not seem to provide an adequate environment for the growth of potentially pathogenic bacteria that were isolated from EG, with the sole exception for E. coli.     

上海动物园非洲企鹅种群线粒体DNA序列分析及遗传管理建议

非洲企鹅(Spheniscus demersus)是一种濒危海鸟,也是动物园展出的重要物种。上海动物园从日本和荷兰引进非洲企鹅,种群不断扩大,并成为国内种群发展的基础。但对其遗传多样性和结构了解很少,无法开展有效的遗传管理。本研究分析了上海动物园39只非洲企鹅的mtDNA D-loop区430 bp序列,并与已发表的日本种群的数据进行比较。结果表明,该片段存在15个变异位点,占分析位点的3.5%;共定义了10个单倍型,其遗传距离为0.002~0.019。日本种群包含A、B两个mtDNA D-loop单倍型世系,上海种群的10个单倍型均属于A世系,且与日本种群有5个共享单倍型,其遗传多样性水平略低于日本种群。上海种群可以进一步分为3个小的世系,但置信度偏低(54%~87%)。上述结果提示,上海种群相对于日本种群的A世系而言有较好涵盖度,但仍有必要进一步引进建群个体,尤其是含有B世系单倍型的个体。

Stimulating the Hematopoietic Effect of Simulated Digestive Product of Fucoidan from Sargassum fusiforme on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Hematopoietic Damage in Mice and Its Protective Mechanisms Based on Serum Lipidomics

Hematopoietic damage is a serious side effect of cytotoxic drugs, and agents promoting hematopoiesis are quite important for decreasing the death rate in cancer patients. In our previous work, we prepared the simulated digestive product of fucoidan from Sargassum fusiforme, DSFF, and found that DSFF could activate macrophages. However, more investigations are needed to further evaluate whether DSFF could promote hematopoiesis in the chemotherapy process. In this study, the protective effect of DSFF (1.8–7.2 mg/kg, i.p.) on cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic damage in mice and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. Our results show that DSFF could restore the numbers of white blood cells, neutrophils, and platelets in the peripheral blood, and could also retard bone marrow cell decrease in mice with cyclophosphamide-induced hematopoietic damage. UPLC/Q-Extraction Orbitrap/MS/MS-based lipidomics results reveal 16 potential lipid biomarkers in a serum that responded to hematopoietic damage in mice. Among them, PC (20:1/14:0) and SM (18:0/22:0) were the key lipid molecules through which DSFF exerted protective actions. In a validation experiment, DSFF (6.25–100 μg/mL) could also promote K562 cell proliferation and differentiation in vitro. The current findings indicated that DSFF could affect the blood cells and bone marrow cells in vivo and thus showed good potential and application value in alleviating the hematopoietic damage caused by cyclophosphamide.     

猎豹与虎猫杯状病毒的分离及其超变区基因比较研究

用F81细胞从上海某动物园患口腔溃疡的猎豹和虎的唾液病料中分离获得两株杯状病毒，经形态学、理化学、生物学鉴定和病毒核酸超变区基因RT-PCR扩增与序列测定证明两株病毒均为猫杯状病毒(FCV)，分别命名为FCV/cheetah/Shanghai/02/2002与FCV／tiger/Shanghai／03/2002。人工感染猫可引起体温升高，口腔溃疡，食欲下降等症状。两株病毒的超变区序列520bp长片段问的同源性为99.2％，与国内桂林虎分离株(TFCV9710)的同源性为74．0％，与国外分离株的总体同源性为58．1％，说明不同宿主或同种不同个体间杯状病毒分离株超变区核酸差异十分显著，符合猫杯状病毒的分子生物学特征。     

Ⅱ型犬腺病毒自然弱毒YCA18株的实验免疫研究

应用YCA18株第8代细胞培养物（YCA18－8）经口鼻和静脉接种犬腺(CAV)SN本＜1：2的易感犬作安全试验，结果未见任何CAV临床症状与病理解剖学改变；用不同剂量的YCA18－8分组免疫CAV易感犬，经SN抗体测定与用CAV强毒攻击试验，结果SN抗体达1：16以上的犬95％以上可获得免疫保护，最低免疫量为10^4TCID50；应用YCA18－8分别免疫母源抗体达1：4和1：8的两组试验犬，第一次免疫14d后SN抗体均未有升高，追加2－3次免疫后SN抗体才逐渐上升至1：16以上的免疫保护水平；用CAV易感犬和MDCK分别将YCA18连续传8代和20代，结果对犬仍然安全，对犬的免疫原性未见下降，最低免疫量仍为10^4TCID50；与CDV和CPV弱毒作免疫互扰试验，结果与各弱毒的单独免疫结果未见差异；将YCA18－8冰冻保存于一30℃，6个月内TCID50仍不低于10^-4/0.1ml，经加明胶－蔗糖低温真空冻干后，4℃和－30℃保存1年，TCID50均仍维持在10^-4/0.1ml以上，经YCA18－20 3次免疫的试验犬，1年后SN抗体仍在最低抗体保护值1：16以上。
