Effects of inhibition of Kupffer cell and splenectomy on thioacetamide-induced hepatic injury

AIM: To examine the effects of inhibition of Kupffer cell and splenectomy on intestinal endotoxemia and hepatic injury. METHODS: The hepatic injury model was established by treatment with thioacetamide (TAA). At the same time, inhibition of Kupffer cells by intravenous GdCl₃ and splenectomy were performed. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), TNF-α, endotoxin content and phagocytic index were observed. RESULTS: In the TAA+GdCl₃ group, and TAA+splenectomy group, the endotoxin content was significently higher than that in normal and TAA group (P<0.05). The plasma TNF-α, ALT and total bilirubin were significantly lower than those in TAA group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of Kupffer cells and splenectomy increase plasma endotoxin level, but decreases the plasma TNF-α levels and alleviates the hepatic injury induced by TAA.     

三江白猪线粒体DNA-RFLP的分析

采用22种限制性内切酶分析了三江白猪线粒体DNA的多态性。结果表明：在60头个体中检出30种限制性态型．归结为7种基因单倍型；其间的差异来自少数限制性位点的突变。单倍型间平均遗传距离为0．35%，群体遗传多态程度为0．044％。三江白猪遗传多样性非常贫乏，说明三江白猪与地方种猪起源于一个共同祖先，在品种形成早期受到创立者效应的制约。

Comparative studies of acetylcholinesterases purified from two field populations of the oriental migratory locust (Locusta migratoria manilensis): implications of insecticide resistance

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was purified by affinity chromatography from two populations of the oriental migratory locust, Locusta migratoria manilensis (Meyen), collected from Huanghua and Pingshan Counties, Hebei Province of China. The purification factors and yields were 1661-fold and 19.3%, respectively, for the Huanghua population, and 3897-fold and 39.6% for the Pingshan population. Both the purification factor and yield were significantly lower in the Huanghua population than in the Pingshan population. AChE activity was almost completely inhibited by 10⁻⁶ M eserine and BW284C51, but ?5.8% of AChE activity was inhibited by ethopropazine at the same concentration, suggesting that purified AChE from either population was a typical insect AChE. However, AChE purified from the Huanghua population was 62-, 2.0-, and 1.6-fold less sensitive to inhibition by the three organophosphate compounds, chlorpyrifos oxon, demeton-S-methyl, and paraoxon, respectively, than that from the Pingshan population. Significantly lower purification factor and low yield associated with reduced sensitivity of AChE to inhibition by the organophosphates indicated that AChE purified from the Huanghua population was biochemically and pharmacologically different from that of the Pingshan population. Reduced sensitivity of AChE appeared to contribute to organophosphate resistance in the locust from Huanghua County, where insecticides have commonly been used to manage outbreaks of the locust.     

四川省2种生境条件下黑麦草种子生产性能的研究

对四川省的丘陵区(洪雅)和中山地区(汉源)2种生境条件下的黑麦草种子生产性能进行了研究分析,结果表明,试验两地的种子产量和质量均有显著差异.其中,洪雅点种子产量为244.0 kg/hm2,汉源点的种子产量为532.8 kg/hm2.两样地的种子质量相比,汉源点的发芽势、发芽率、四唑染色数和四唑脱氢酶均高于洪雅点.两地的种子产量与其构成因素的相关性基本一致,均呈显著相关;相关性强弱依次为:每生殖枝种子数>生殖枝数>每生殖枝小花数>分蘖数>每生殖枝小穗数>千粒重.每生殖枝种子数对种子产量贡献最大.     

瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸稳定性的研究

采用不同比例的动物油包被蛋氨酸制成瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸I(RPMetⅠ)、瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸Ⅱ(RPMetⅡ)和瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸III(RPMetⅢ)。通过人工唾液消化试验、体内尼龙袋试验和人工真胃液消化试验,检验DL蛋氨酸(DLMet)、商品过瘤胃蛋氨酸(BypassMet)和瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸(RPMetⅠ、RPMetⅡ和RPMetⅢ)的稳定性。试验结果表明,三种动物油包被蛋氨酸的稳定性均好于商品过瘤胃蛋氨酸和DL-蛋氨酸;不同比例的动物油包被对瘤胃保护性蛋氨酸稳定性的影响差异显著(P<0.05)。

西尼罗热病毒RT-PCR检测方法的建立

参考Genebank发表的西尼罗热病毒(West Nile virus，WNV)E糖蛋白基因序列，自行设计合成一对引物，对WNV进行RT—PCR扩增，产物经琼脂糖电泳分析，呈现一条约400bp的条带，将其克隆入pMD18-T—Vector载体中，并进行序列测定，与已发表的WNV基因比较发现，核苷酸的同源性为99．7％，证实为WNV的E基因，通过对样品多次检测，都能扩增出一条约400bp的条带，表明该方法比较稳定。     

野榆钱菠菜三种异型种子幼苗的生长特性

野榆钱菠菜是新疆重要的荒漠野生牧草资源,具有褐色(非休眠类型)、黑色大、黑色小(休眠类型)3种异型种子。以种子异型性植物野榆钱菠菜为材料,对3种异型种子在自然条件下进行培育,对比观察研究3种异型种子的萌发物候及幼苗的生长特性。结果表明:1) 异型种子萌发物候不同步,萌发策略不同,褐色种子集中萌发,出苗率为74.30%,萌发期为3 d;两种黑色种子萌发期长,分散萌发,出苗率分别为6.58%(黑色大种子)和1.55%(黑色小种子),萌发期分别为21和17 d。2) 异型种子子叶存留时间长,但存留时间有差异,种子越小子叶存留时间越短。3) 褐色种子幼苗在初期其子叶长宽、根长、地上地下生物量均显著大于黑色种子幼苗,但随着幼苗的生长,3种异型种子幼苗在这些指标方面的差异逐渐缩小。4) 异型种子幼苗具有不同的生物量分配策略,褐色种子幼苗主要将养分输送到地上部分,两种黑色种子幼苗主要将养分输送到地下部分,这种不同的生物量分配策略能够使种子异型性植物在面对荒漠异质环境时具有不同的应对方式,是种子异型性植物能够长期适应荒漠异质环境的重要生态适应机制。研究结果为揭示种子异型性植物长期适应荒漠异质环境提供新的科学依据,也为“两头下注”对策理论提供新的理论基础。     

高寒草甸草原净初级生产力对气候变化响应的模拟

利用1957-2014年气象数据和1998-2014年实测数据驱动CENTURY模型模拟海北高寒草甸草原生态系统地上净初级生产力(ANPP)的动态变化,并利用典型浓度路径RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下5个大气环流模型的气候情景数据来模拟未来气候变化和CO₂浓度变化对草地生态系统ANPP的影响。结果表明:1)研究地点1998-2014年的ANPP观测值与模拟值变化趋势吻合度较高,Pearson相关性系数为0.67,均方根误差为19.62 g·m^-2,CENTURY模型适用于模拟气候变化对高寒草甸草原影响的研究。2)过去50多年,高寒草甸草原的年平均最低气温、最高气温和年平均气温都呈极显著的波动上升趋势(P<0.01),年降水量年际波动特征比较明显,降水主要集中在植被的生长季。过去50多年,高寒草甸草原ANPP平均值达到271 g·m^-2,总体变化趋势为增加,但变化趋势不显著(P>0.05)。3)与基准时段(2001-2014年)相比,高寒草甸草原未来2030s(2015-2040年)、2050s(2041-2070年)、2080s(2071-2099年)时段多模型年平均降水量、年平均温度、年平均最低和最高温度变化率均为正值。不考虑CO₂肥效作用下,高寒草甸草原多模型平均ANPP在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下分别增加2.21%,11.53%,17.78%和8.34%,21.68%,40.32%;考虑CO₂肥效作用下,高寒草甸草原多模型平均ANPP在RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下分别增加2.89%,14.29%,24.28%和11.57%,31.74%,57.29%。考虑和不考虑CO₂肥效的情况下,5个大气环流模型引起的模拟结果的不确定性都在合理范围之内,多大气环流模型与CENTURY耦合模拟的ANPP结果较为一致。
