Advance in study of batokines

Brown adipose tissue is a type of adipose tissue and is present in all mammals. It is not only the main site for adaptive thermogenesis in vivo, but also secretes and releases many cytokines in the form of endocrine to regulate a variety of metabolic processes and prevent and treat obesity and metabolic diseases. Therefore, identification of the types and effects of brown adipocytokines (batokines) may be crucial for the treatment of a variety of obesity-related metabolic diseases. Based on the latest research progress, batokines and their functions are reviewed.     

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy activates CREB/BDNF signaling pathway to reduce synaptic damage in hippocampal neurons of Alzheimer disease mice

AIM To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on synaptic damage of hippocampal neurons in APP/PS1 transgenic (TG) mice and its possible mechanism. METHODS The 6-month-old male APP/PS1 TG mice were randomly divided into TG group, HBO group and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) inhibitor H89 group, with 10 mice in each group. Ten male wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice of the same age were used as negative control group (WT group). The mice in HBO and H89 groups were treated with HBO for 6 cycles, while the mice in WT group and TG group were not treated. The learning and memory abilities were observed by Morris water maze. The nesting ability of the mice was detected by nesting test. The Nissl bodies in hippocampal neurons were observed by Nissl staining. The mRNA expression of CREB and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampus was detected by real-time PCR. The protein levels of synapsin (SYN), postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43), CREB, phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB) and BDNF in the hippocampus were determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with WT group, the learning and memory abilities of the mice in TG group were signilficantly reduced (P<0.05). In addition, the nesting score, the number of Nissl bodies in the hippocampal neurons, the mRNA expression of CREB and BDNF, and the protein levels of SYN, PSD95, GAP43, p-CREB and BDNF were also decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with TG group, the learning and memory abilities of the mice in HBO group were improved (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the nesting scores of the mice were significantly increased (P<0.05), the neurons in the hippocampus were arranged neatly, and the number of Nissl bodies, the relative mRNA expression of CREB and BDNF,and the protein levels of SYN, PSD95, GAP43, p-CREB and BDNF were also increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with HBO group, the mice in H89 group had poor learning and memory abilities, lowered nesting scores and decreased number of Nissl bodies. Futhermore, the relative mRNA expression of CREB and BDNF, and the protein levels of SYN, PSD95, GAP43, p-CREB and BDNF were also decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION HBO improves the learning and memory abilities of APP/PS1 TG mice, and its mechanism may be related to activating the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway to reduce synaptic damage of hippocampal neurons in mice.     

卧式泵站直管式出水流道型线变化水力性能数值模拟

基于不可压缩流体的连续性方程和雷诺时均N-S方程,采用CFD技术对卧式泵站直管式出水流道进行数值模拟计算,通过改变出水流道型线,分析出水流道内部流动特性及水力损失影响。研究表明,出水流道当断面形状设计为圆变方,在平面方向和立面方向均逐渐扩大的形式时,流道内流态最好;将进水流道断面在平面方向设计为先扩散后平直,而在立面方向均匀扩大的形式时,流态较好;而将断面在立面与平面方向均设计成先扩散后平直时,出水流道流态最差。     

掌叶覆盆子种子繁殖力关键影响因素分析

掌叶覆盆子野外种群的更新由根蘖繁殖完成,实生苗罕见,种子繁殖力低。本研究从掌叶覆盆子种子的结实特性、采种期、储藏时间、母树来源、激素含量变化与种子萌发等方面对其种子繁殖力影响因素进行了全面的分析。结果表明:掌叶覆盆子种子数量充足,群体内结实特性保持着一致性;当年熟果种子活力达到75.33%,储藏时间超过1年种子活力迅速下降且发芽率为0;不同母树来源种子发芽率无差异;青果、黄绿果时期种子活力和发芽率都较低,熟果和过熟果实种子活力达最高值且基本一致,但熟果GA 3/ABA比值最大,发芽率最高;不管是否添加外源激素,随着果实过熟程度加深,种子发芽率迅速下降,种子休眠程度也随之加深;酸蚀和激素可有效破除休眠,提高发芽率。采种时间、储藏时间、酸蚀和赤霉素催芽等是影响掌叶覆盆子繁殖力的关键因素。

盛荚期喷施亚硒酸钠对大豆籽粒硒含量及单株产量的影响

为了研究喷施亚硒酸钠对大豆籽粒硒含量及单株产量的影响,采用裂区设计,主区为盛荚期喷施不同用量的亚硒酸钠,共5个处理（CK（清水）：0 g/hm²,C1:30 g/hm²,C2: 60 g/hm²,C3: 90 g/hm²,C4: 120 g/hm²）,副区为8个大豆品种。分析8个大豆品种在喷施5种用量亚硒酸钠处理中籽粒硒含量及单株产量变化规律。结果表明,试验地土壤达到富硒水平,在CK处理中,不同大豆品种籽粒硒含量均未达到富硒大豆标准,需要额外喷施硒肥。随着喷施亚硒酸钠用量的增加,8个大豆品种籽粒中硒含量均呈增加趋势,亚硒酸钠用量与大豆籽粒硒含量呈显著或者极显著正相关。8个大豆品种籽粒硒含量均值随亚硒酸钠用量的增加呈上升趋势,与CK相比,C1～C4处理均能极显著提高8个大豆品种籽粒硒含量均值,提高了571.186 %～2 489.831%。亚硒酸钠用量对大豆籽粒硒含量的影响大于大豆品种对大豆籽粒硒含量的影响。喷施亚硒酸钠用量（X）与每种用量下8个大豆籽粒硒含量均值（Y -均）的直线回归方程为Y -均=0.012X+0.003,r =0.986,达到极显著正相关。根据该方程,当大豆籽粒硒含量达到富硒大豆标准（0.1～1 mg/kg）,喷施亚硒酸钠用量的范围为8.08～83.08 g/hm²。分析喷施亚硒酸钠用量与大豆籽粒硒含量的回归方程发现,郑9525的回归方程斜率最大,C4处理中籽粒硒含量达到最大值1.997 mg/kg,籽粒富集硒能力最强;齐黄34斜率最小,C4处理中籽粒硒含量达到最小值1.133 mg/kg,籽粒富集硒能力最弱。在本试验条件下,喷施亚硒酸钠对大豆单株产量没有显著影响。大豆品种对单株产量的影响大于亚硒酸钠用量对单株产量的影响。
