为探讨饲粮蛋白质源影响断奶仔猪小肠发育的分子机制,本试验利用猪全基因组表达谱芯片分析不同蛋白质源饲粮下断奶仔猪（断奶 ０、３、７和 １４ｄ）小肠转录谱,２４头仔公猪随机分为 ２个处理,处理 １采用乳源蛋白质 ３０％替代饲粮总蛋白质,处理 ２采用全植物蛋白质源饲粮。结果表明：１）处理 １获得 ３７０个差异表达基因（Ｐ＜０．０５）,采用序列试验聚类分析,共获得２６个表达模式,其中有 ３个显著表达模式,模式 ５和 １１显著性水平最高（Ｐ＜０．０１）。处理 ２获得 ２６３个差异表达基因（Ｐ＜０．０５）,序列试验聚类分析得到 ２６个表达模式,其中模式 ３和 ２２显著水平最高（Ｐ＜０．０１）。２）基因共表达网络构建和分析一定程度上揭示了不同蛋白质源饲粮对肠道发育的分子调控机制,以及两者之间的差异。通过基因芯片数据,从 ２种蛋白质源饲粮处理下的基因调控网络中筛选出 １２和 ９个具有重要影响和研究价值的基因,以及 ９个在 ２个处理中网络调控地位发生改变的共表达基因。通过基因芯片数据,从 ２种蛋白质源饲粮处理下的基因调控网络中筛选出 １２和 ９个具有重要影响和研究价值的基因,以及 ９个在 ２个处理中网络调控地位发生改变的共表达基因。总之,本试验筛选出了一些在不同饲粮蛋白质源影响断奶仔猪肠道发育和功能过程中可能具有深入研究意义的候选基因。     

不同蛋能比对凡纳滨对虾幼虾生长、饲料转化、血清指标和体组成的影响

导读：虾料配制时首先考虑的因子。 前言 凡纳滨对虾原产于美洲中南部的太平洋沿岸,我国于1988年引进,由于该虾生长快、适应性强、食性广、价格高、抗病力强等优点,迅速成为主要养殖品种。当前,饲料成本占总养殖成本的50～60％,而蛋白水平又是影响生长性能和饲料成本的主要因素。那么怎样才能降低饲料成本呢？通过优化蛋白能量和非蛋白能量在饲料中的比例,可以达到这一目的。如果蛋白相对于能量过量,那么,     

Canine adenovirus type 1 infection of a Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra)

A 10-year-old female Eurasian river otter (Lutra lutra) died after prolonged anorexia and weight loss in the Seoul Grand Park Zoo, Seoul, Republic of Korea. On necropsy, the liver was found to be swollen and friable with 1 lobe enlarged and necrotic. The other organs showed no significant alterations except for mild atrophy of the right kidney. Microscopically, there was multifocal hepatic necrosis. The hepatocytes around the necrotic areas were swollen and contained large basophilic intranuclear inclusions. Periportal infiltration by plasma cells and lymphocytes was also evident. Transmission electron microscopy revealed characteristic hexagonal virus particles sized approximately 70 nm in diameter in the nuclei of the hepatocytes, which were consistent with an adenovirus. Polymerase chain reaction of the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver sections was used to determine whether the virus was either the canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), or some other viral agent. The results of these tests showed that the virus was CAV-1. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a CAV-1 infection in an otter.     

Enzymatic profiles of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and Erysipelothrix tonsillae

The enzymatic activities of 39 strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae and 34 of E tonsillae were determined with the API ZYM system. The profiles of these two species were very similar, differing solely in N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase activity. Whereas 90 per cent of strains of E rhusiopathiae exhibited strong activity with N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, positive reactions were observed for this enzyme in only 24 per cent of strains of E tonsillae. These results support previous DNA-DNA hybridisation studies and suggest that E tonsillae is a new species of the genus Erysipelothrix.     

Application of non-structural protein ELISA kits in nationwide FMD surveillance in pigs to demonstrate virus circulation in Taiwan

Large scale surveillance of FMD non-structural protein (NSP) antibody in pigs was conducted to monitor for FMD virus circulation in Taiwan using Ceditest and UBI NSP ELISA kits after recurrence of FMD in 2009. A total of 53,759 serum samples were collected from pigs in the auction markets in 2009. There were 43 farms with positive FMD NSP reactors to both NSP ELISA tests in the nationwide surveillance. After tracing back, clinical examination and the NSP ELISA testing using both Ceditest and UBI on 14 follow-up serum samples from all the herds with confirmed NSP reactors in 2009, there were 4 farms classified as positive on follow-up testing criteria. In this surveillance, we have demonstrated that the NSP ELISA tests of outbreak farms followed by clinical and serological investigation could be used to detect FMD circulation in the pig population in Taiwan even while the national compulsory vaccination program is ongoing.     

鸭茅重要种质DUS测试及农艺性状评价筛选

以我国主栽的32个鸭茅品种(系)为研究对象,对其开展了DUS测试,并基于农艺性状进行了综合评价筛选,以期筛选出适合我国南方及长江流域地区生长的优质鸭茅种质资源。结果表明:供试鸭茅品种(系)可根据其物候期的差异,主要分为早、中、晚熟3种类型,生育期介于230~307d。各供试鸭茅品种(系)在抗锈病、越夏率、生长速度、草产量、茎叶比、鲜干比、分蘖数等均差异明显,呈现出不同程度的群体差异,以‘滇北’、‘01472’、‘Cristobal’、‘宝兴’、‘波特’等表现较为突出。供试14个DUS性状在各鸭茅间表达程度各不相同,可用于区分供试鸭茅品种(系),并得出关于鸭茅产量、抗性及品质的供试种质综合排序,最终筛选出17份表现较为优异的鸭茅资源。

随着对亮氨酸调节试验动物(如鼠)生理功能研究的深入,学者们发现,亮氨酸对于骨骼肌蛋白质沉积的影响不仅是其可以提高骨骼肌蛋白质的合成,还由于其可以减少骨骼肌蛋白质的分解,而这一过程中,亮氨酸对于骨骼肌细胞内蛋白质降解的多条途径都存在抑制作用。本文综述了亮氨酸对动物(如鼠)骨骼肌及其细胞内蛋白质分解的调节作用,并分析讨论了这一过程当中亮氨酸的相关作用机制。     

Selection on multiple QTL with control of gene diversity and inbreeding for long-term benefit

The purpose of this study was to develop and investigate selection strategies that aim at maximizing long-term genetic response while conserving gene diversity and controlling inbreeding in populations of limited effective size, assuming complete knowledge of all genes affecting a quantitative trait. Three selection strategies were proposed to select on 100 quantitative trait loci (QTL) and compared with truncation selection on breeding value. Alternative selection strategies aimed at maximizing the average breeding value of parents with a penalty on (1) the number of unfavourable QTL genotypes among parents (OS-I), (2) the negative of the logarithm of the frequency of the favourable allele at each QTL among parents (OS-II), and (3) the average pedigree relationship among parents (OS-III). When all QTL and their effects were known, the strategies examined were able to obtain extra long-term responses, conserve QTL diversity and reduce inbreeding, compared with truncation selection. Strategy OS-II was the most effective in conserving QTL diversity and OS-III in reducing inbreeding. By changing the magnitude of the penalties applied, the impact on long-term response, inbreeding and diversity can be controlled. Extra long-term responses over truncation selection of OS-I and OS-II were even greater when effects of QTL were estimated rather than assumed known, indicating the applicability of results to practical strategies for marker-assisted selection. Extra responses are expected to be reduced for larger population sizes.
