Detection of leptospires in tissue using an immunoperoxidase staining procedure

An immunoperoxidase technique for the localisation of leptospires in sections of formalin fixed paraffin embedded kidney tissue is described. The procedure utilises a two-layered antibody sandwich with rabbit anti-leptospiral immunoglobin. Using antiserum to specific leptospiral serovars the presence and distribution of specific serovar in the tissue could be determined. The technique was also used to detect leptospires of given serovars in smears made from infected tissues and fluids. There was good correlation between culture results and results of the immunoperoxidase staining method on kidneys infected with leptospires. The diagnostic possibilities of the technique on formalin fixed tissue specimens are discussed.     

Isolation,Culture and Identification of Testis Sertoli Cells in Mongolian Horses in vitro

To study a simple and rapid separation of testis Sertoli cells in Mongolian horses and ensure their activity,the testis tissue of two-year-old Mongolian horses was mechanically isolated under a low temperature environment in this experiment,and 1-3 g of testis tissue was chopped,the free red blood cells and interstitial cells were removed by gravity precipitation method.0.1% collagenase Ⅳ and 0.25% trypsin-EDTA were used for tissue digestion, and cells were cultured in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum.After inoculation,the purified Sertoli cells were isolated and purified by differential sticking method,and the impurity cells were removed by Tris-HCl infiltration method,and were identified by alkaline phosphatase (AKP) staining,HE staining and Real-time quantitative PCR.The results showed that most of the cells began to adhere to the wall after culture 24 h,and the shape of the cells was oval.After culture 48 h,the cytoplasm increased and the refraction became stronger.After culture 3-4 d,the cytoplasm of the cells expanded into tight junction.At this time,the cells were triangular with obvious nucleoli.After culture 6-7 d,the cells entered the stable phase.Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that the expression of GATA4 and GDNF genes were extremely significantly expressed in cultured cells (P<0.01).AKP staining supported the negative expression in Sertoli cells,indicating that the isolated cultured cells were indeed Sertoli cells.In this experiment,tissue was treated by mechanical separation and two-step enzyme digestion,and testicular support cells were obtained quickly and efficiently,the method of culturing Sertoli cells in Mongolian horses testis in vitro was successfully constructed.

蓟马对紫花苜蓿危害的空间分布特征

昆虫空间分布格局是其种群的一种客观属性,对于同一种群,其格局类型是固有的.蓟马为一种体型较小的昆虫,取食时移动性强,易逃逸,所以用危害特征的空间分布来代替其本身的空间分布更具有稳定性和实用性.采用不同尺度研究探讨蓟马对紫花苜蓿危害的空间分布特征.研究表明在现蕾期危害空间分布为聚集分布,危害斑块尺度是40 cm×30 cm～50 cm×30 cm的椭圆型,长轴方向是东西向.因此在这一物候期选择抗蓟马材料时,取样应该按南北方向,尺度距离大于40～50 cm,更具有代表性,在开花期危害空间分布为均匀分布,但是取样尺度也应大于40～50 cm,更具有代表性,而且在开花期取样要比现蕾期取样更好一些,会减少取样误差.     

Ancient diets, ecology, and extinction of 5-million-year-Old horses from florida

Six sympatric species of 5-million-year-old (late Hemphillian) horses from Florida existed during a time of major global change and extinction in terrestrial ecosystems. Traditionally, these horses were interpreted to have fed on abrasive grasses because of their high-crowned teeth. However, carbon isotopic and tooth microwear data indicate that these horses were not all C4 grazers but also included mixed feeders and C3 browsers. The late Hemphillian Florida sister species of the modern genus Equus was principally a browser, unlike the grazing diet of modern equids. Late Hemphillian horse extinctions in Florida involved two grazing and one browsing species.     

巴美肉羊INHA和INHBA基因多态性与产羔数关系研究

为了研究INHA和INHBA这两个基因对巴美肉羊产羔数的影响,采用PCR-SSCP技术检测抑制素α亚基(α-inhibin,INHA)和βA亚基(βA-inhibin,INHBA)基因在巴美肉羊中的单核苷酸多态性。结果发现,引物1,4,6扩增片段有多态性,其余3对引物的扩增片段均不存在多态性。引物1,巴美肉羊有2种基因型AB型和AA型,平均产羔数AB型比AA型多0.17只(P<0.01)。引物4,巴美肉羊存在3种基因型(CC、DD和CD),巴美肉羊平均产羔数DD型比CC型多0.44只(P<0.01)。引物6,巴美肉羊有3种基因型(EE、FF和EF),EE型比EF型平均产羔数多0.21只(P<0.01),结果表明,抑制素α亚基(α-inhibin,INHA)和βA亚基(βA-inhibin,INHBA)基因是影响巴美肉羊产羔数的重要基因。

Testing a mechanistic model. III. The effects of pH on fluoride retention by a soil

The pH of a soil was altered by incubating it with either lime or acid at 60°C for 1 day. Subsamples were then mixed with fluoride solutions in order to measure the effects of pH on fluoride retention. The results were compared with those previously obtained with phosphate on the same soil. At equal concentration of total fluorine in solution, fluoride retention was greatest at about pH 5.5 and decreased at both lower and higher pH. The decrease at low pH appeared to be caused by the formation of complexes between fluoride and aluminium in solution. As a result, only a small proportion of the total fluorine in solution was present as fluoride ions. At equal concentrations of fluoride ions, fluoride retention decreased with increasing pH. It was shown that this decrease could be explained by decreases in the electrostatic potential of the variable charge materials. The decrease in potential was steeper than that required to describe phosphate retention. This is consistent with the plane of adsorption of fluoride ions being closer to the plane of adsorption of H⁺ and OH^? ions.
