Optimizing the Conditions for In Vitro Maturation and Artificial Activation of Sika Deer (Cervus nippon hortulorum) Oocytes

With the goal of establishing experimental protocols for cloning sika deer, various conditions for in vitro maturation (IVM) and artificial activation of sika deer oocytes were examined. In vitro maturation was evaluated in seven different culture media. The highest rate of oocyte maturation was 75.4% in 10 μg/ml follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH), 1 μg/ml LH, 0.2 mm cysteamine and 50 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF) after 24 h of IVM. The efficiency after 24 h of IVM did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) from that observed after 20 h. Cysteamine (0.2 mm ) significantly increased the maturation rates after 20 h (from 59.1% to 67.2%, p < 0.05) and after 24 h (from 63.2% to 71.6%, p < 0.05) of IVM. The IVM rates of oocytes collected during the oestrous season (75.4%) and the anoestrous season (23.3%) were significantly different at 24 h. The 20 μg/ml FSH, 2 μg/ml LH, 0.4 mm cysteamine and 100 ng/ml EGF significantly increased the maturation rates (from 23.3% to 54.2%, p < 0.01) at 24 h during the anoestrous season. For the activation experiments, the most effective method was chemical activation [ionomycin + 6‐dimethylaminopurine (6‐DMAP)], which promoted the development of sika deer oocytes to the blastocyst stage (32.4%). Our results indicate that in vitro matured sika deer oocytes are good candidates for parthenogenetic activation and that chemical treatment is needed for relatively efficient activation of the oocytes. These optimized conditions for IVM and parthenogenetic activation may be useful for efforts to restore populations of the endangered sika deer using the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique.     

Program of vaccination and antibiotic treatment to control polyserositis caused by Haemophilus parasuis under field conditions

The present study investigated the effects of vaccinating sows and piglets or piglets alone against Haemophilus parasuis on the prevalence of H. parasuis in nasal swabs, on the humoral and cellular immune responses, and on the production parameters of piglets at 3 Korean farms with a clinical history of polyserositis caused by H. parasuis. Piglets born to vaccinated or non-vaccinated sows were subdivided into 3 groups: vaccinated sows and vaccinated pigs (VS-VP), non-vaccinated sows and vaccinated pigs (NVS-VP), and non-vaccinated sows and non-vaccinated pigs (NVS-NVP). The proportion of piglets with positive nasal swabs was significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the vaccinated animals (VS-VP and NVS-VP groups) than in the non-vaccinated animals (NVS-NVP group) at 35 and 60 d of age at the 3 farms. The overall growth performance (from 7 to 60 d of age) of the vaccinated piglets was significantly better (P < 0.05) than that of the non-vaccinated piglets at the 3 farms. Piglets in the VS-VP group had significantly higher levels (P < 0.05) of H. parasuis-specific IgG antibodies, lymphocyte proliferation, and interferon-γ-secreting cells than piglets in the NVS-VP and NVS-NVP groups on days 1, 7, 21, 35, and 60 after birth at the 3 farms.

基于单抗的免疫分析方法及其在兽药残留检测中的应用

兽药残留检测是监督控制药物滥用的手段之一。免疫学技术基于抗原对抗体的特异性识别,具有灵敏度高、稳定性好、操作简单、快捷等优点被广泛应用于兽药残留检测。该方法的关键是要获得高质量的特异性抗体,因而单抗技术的应用与发展,对免疫分析方法的普及起了巨大推动作用。为此,本文针对单抗的制备以及基于单抗的免疫分析方法在兽药残留检测领域的应用进行简要综述。目前酶联免疫吸附法（ELISA）与胶体金免疫层析法（GICA）是应用最广泛的基于单抗的兽药残留检测方法,主要用于检测抗生素、化学合成抗菌药、激素类和β-受体激动剂类药物、镇静剂类药物,其操作简单,灵敏度高,但均需要对样品进行一定的前处理,实际操作中较易出现假阳性,反应时间长等问题。为提高检验的敏感度、稳定性、特异性、便捷性,正在研究新型的免疫分析技术,如结合采用表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）技术和金标检测试纸（LFA）实现超灵敏检测,采用微流控免疫分析芯片技术联合ELISA实现高通量检测等。诸多研究将为基于单抗的免疫分析方法在兽药残留检测中的应用提供新思路。     

Pathogenesis of type 1 (European genotype) porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in male gonads of infected boar

The objective of this study was to determine the pathogenesis of experimental infection with a type 1 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) by defining the sites of viral replication and apoptosis in male gonads from infected boars for a period of 21 days after intranasal inoculation. Microscopically, hypospermatogenesis and abundant germ cell depletion and death were observed in the testes. Such germ cell death occurs by apoptosis, as determined by a characteristic histological patterns and evidence of massive DNA fragment detected in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) reaction. PRRSV was detected in the testicular tissue of infected boars only. Viral nucleic acid was localized in spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids but not in the vesicular and bulbourethral gland. In serial sections, PRRSV-positive cells did not co-localized with apoptotic cells. TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells were more numerous than PRRSV-positive cells in testicular sections. The present study demonstrated that type 1 PRRSV infects the spermatogonia and their progeny, and induces apoptosis in these germ cells.

不同来源硒对异育银鲫的生物学效应研究

以异育银鲫为试验动物,研究不同来源的硒(蛋氨酸硒和纳米硒)对其生长性能、肌肉生化组成和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性的影响。试验分为3个处理,日粮中添加硒浓度分别为0 mg/kg(对照组)、0.5 mg/kg(蛋氨酸硒)和0.5 mg/kg(纳米硒),每个处理3个重复。结果显示,与对照组相比,蛋氨酸硒和纳米硒均可显著提高异育银鲫的末重、相对增重率以及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性(P<0.05),但是蛋氨酸硒处理组和纳米硒处理组间差异不显著。纳米硒处理组肌肉中硒含量显著高于其他两组(P<0.05),蛋氨酸硒处理组肌肉中硒含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。研究表明,饵料中添加一定浓度的蛋氨酸硒和纳米硒具有一定的生物学效应。
