Risk analysis of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in Korea

The occurrence of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE, so called mad cow diseases) that was first identified in England in 1986 was considered as being limited to only European countries, including England. However, the outbreak in Asia as well as North America since 2001 has amplified the fear that there isn't any nation in the world that is a safe area. In order to assess the risk of BSE outbreak in each country, the Office International des Epizooties (OIE) and EU have respectively established criteria, where OIE has set 5 levels and EU has set 4 levels. The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) of the European Commission conducted a Geographical BSE Risk(GBR) assessment for 64 nations, such as the United States, etc., as of April 29, 2003. However, as of July 1, 2005, the duty of GBR assessment is expected to be transferred to a newly established body called EFSA (European Food Safety Authority, located in Parma, Italy). As Korea has not undergone a GBR assessment up to now, this study analyzed the risk of BSE outbreak in Korea by reviewing BSE prevention measures, etc., that have been put in place. This study shall be a barometer for estimating the GBR assessment level of Korea.

黄土塬边坡植被类型对土壤孔隙的影响

黄土塬边坡植被建设以固坡为目的,不同植被的土壤孔隙结构有利于增加降水入渗,从而减少坡面产流的水蚀危害。本研究以长武塬黄土塬边坡的侧柏(Platycladus orientalis)林地、沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides)灌丛、草地和农地4种植被为研究对象,采集0–30 cm的原状土柱,利用CT扫描和图像处理技术,对其土壤孔隙度、孔隙数目、孔隙成圆率和孔隙分形维数进行定量分析,结合土层样品的理化性质,研究影响土壤孔隙结构的主要因素。结果表明,农地、侧柏孔隙的孔径大小分异不大,而草地、沙棘自身根系互动穿插生成的根孔扩展了孔径分布范围,不仅增加了孔隙度和大孔隙数目,也降低了孔隙成圆率。草地、沙棘有利于降水入渗,是固坡的优先选择。土壤有机质、粘粒含量等性质与孔隙参数之间具有极显著(P<0.001)或显著(P<0.05)相关关系,它们的改变对土壤孔隙特征变化和提高蓄水保土能力具有重要影响。

一株猪高致病性蓝耳病病毒的分离鉴定与遗传变异分析

为研究猪蓝耳病病毒(PRRSV)的遗传进化规律,于2018年从新疆某猪场采集的病猪血液中分离了一株PRRSV,命名为XJ-b。对临床样品采用RT-PCR扩增鉴定,将阳性样品过滤处理之后接种在Marc-145细胞系进行培养,将盲传3代之后出现病变(CPE)的Marc-145样品进行间接免疫荧光鉴定。通过噬斑纯化后,利用RT-PCR对分离株的全基因组进行扩增,使用SeqMan软件对测序结果进行拼接,并根据NCBI上已公布的PRRSV全基因组及Nsp2基因核苷酸序列进行遗传进化与同源性比对分析。结果表明,临床病料RT-PCR检测呈PRRSV核酸阳性,处理后的病料接种至Marc-145细胞72 h之后产生CPE,间接免疫荧光鉴定为PRRSV抗原阳性;序列拼接显示分离株全基因组开放阅读框大小为15119 bp;全基因组和Nsp2基因核苷酸序列分析和同源性比对显示该分离毒株属于中国的高致病性PRRSV亚群。研究结果可为近年来新疆地区PRRSV的毒株差异分析提供参考。     

不同蛋白质水平日粮对肥育猪肠道氨基酸转运载体CAT1 mRNA表达量的影响

本试验旨在研究不同蛋白质水平日粮对肥育猪肠道氨基酸转运载体CAT1 mRNA表达量的影响.选取36头杜×长×大二三元杂交阉公猪,平均体重(55.6±7.0)kg,随机分为3个处理,分别饲喂13%(低蛋白质组)、16%(对照组)和19%(高蛋白质组)的蛋白质水平日粮,每个处理12个重复(单栏饲养).于饲喂后第45天,每组随机屠宰5头,分离肠道(十二指肠、空肠和回肠),运用Real-Time PCR技术,以β-actin为内参基因,研究CAT1 mRNA相对于β-actin的表达量.结果表明,在饲喂高蛋白质日粮时,与对照组相比,氨基酸转运载体CAT1 mRNA相对于内参β-actin mRNA的表达量,在肥育猪十二指肠、空肠和回肠中分别提高了58.4%、23.2%和24.5%,但差异不显著(P>0.05);而饲喂低蛋白质日粮时,CAT1 mRNA相对表达量在肥育猪十二指肠和空肠中则分别提高93.1%和122.6%,差异显著(P<0.05),而在回肠中降低了14.3%,差异不显著(P>0.05).高蛋白质水平日粮对肥育猪肠道CAT1 mRNA相对表达最的影响不大,而低蛋白质水平日粮对肥育猪肠道CAT1 mRNA相对表达量的影响较大,尤其是对空肠CAT1 mRNA的相对表达量.     

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of duck Toll-like receptor 5

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is responsible for the recognition of bacterial flagellin in vertebrates. In this study, we cloned the single-exon TLR5 gene of the Maya breed of Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna). The TLR5 open reading frame is 2580 bp in length and encodes an 859-amino acid protein. The putative amino acid sequence of duck TLR5 consisted of a signal peptide sequence, 11 leucine-rich repeat domains, a leucine-rich repeat C-terminal domain, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular Toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain. The duck TLR5 gene was highly expressed in the lung, bone marrow, spleen, and liver; moderately expressed in kidney, small intestine, large intestine, and brain. A plasmid expressing duck TLR5 was constructed and transfected into HEK293T cells, and expression was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay. HEK293T cells transfected with duck TLR5- and NF-κB-luciferase-containing plasmids significantly responded to flagellin from Salmonella typhimurium, indicating that it is a functional TLR5 homolog.     

β‐hydroxy‐β‐methyl butyrate promotes leucine metabolism and improves muscle fibre composition in growing pigs

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of excess leucine (Leu) vs. its metabolites α‐ketoisocaproate (KIC) and β‐hydroxy‐β‐methyl butyrate (HMB) on Leu metabolism, muscle fibre composition and muscle growth in growing pigs. Thirty‐two pigs with a similar initial weight (9.55 ± 0.19 kg) were fed 1 of 4 diets for 45 days: basal diet, basal diet + 1.25% L‐Leu, basal diet + 1.25% KIC‐Ca, basal diet + 0.62% HMB‐Ca. Results indicated that relative to the basal diet and HMB groups, Leu and KIC groups exhibited increased Leu concentrations and decreased concentrations of isoleucine, valine and EAAs in selected muscle (p < 0.05) and had lower mRNA levels of MyHC I and higher expression of MyHC IIx/IIb (p < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the basal and HMB‐supplemented groups. Moreover, the mRNA expression levels of AMPKα and UCP3 were higher but the myostatin mRNA levels were lower in the soleus muscle of the HMB group than those from other groups (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrated that doubling dietary Leu content exerted growth‐depressing effects in growing pigs; dietary KIC supplementation induced muscular branched‐chain amino acid imbalance and promoted muscle toward a more glycolytic phenotype; while dietary HMB supplementation promoted the generation of more oxidative muscle types and increased muscle growth specially in oxidative skeletal muscle, and these effects of HMB might be associated with the AMPKα‐Sirt1‐PGC‐1α axis and mitochondrial biogenesis.
