Effects of Medium-chain Triglyceride on Growth Performance and Serum Biochemical Indices in Broilers

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of medium-chain triglyceride replacing the soybean oil in the basal diet on growth performance and serum biochemical indices of broilers.One hundred and forty four healthy,similar body weights AA broilers at the age of 14 days were randomly assigned to four groups with six replicates ger group and six broilers per replicate.Groups A,B,C and D were respectively fed with 0,0.6%,1.2% and 2% medium-chain triglyceride substituted the equivalent amount of soybean oil (using corn flour to balance the energy levels in each group) .The test lasted for 28 days and the indexes were measured once every two weeks.The results showed that the average daily gain and average daily feed intake of groups B,C and D were higher than that of group A,and the F/G was lower than group A.The average daily gain of groups C and D at 28 to 42 days old and group D at 14 to 42 days old were significantly higher than that of group A (P < 0.05).The serum glucose,total content of amino acid,total protein and albumin of groups B,C and D at age of 28 and 42 days old were higher than that of group A,while the serum triglyceride,total cholesterol and urea nitrogen levels were lower.The total cholesterol content at 42 days old and triglyceride concentrations at 28 days old of group C were significantly lower than those of group A (P < 0.05).The results indicated that medium-chain triglyceride could raise average daily gain and reduce the total cholesterol content and triglyceride concentrations of broilers,which were useful for improving the growth performance.

EZH2-mediated regulation of NF-κB target gene expression in gastric cancer

AIM: To explore the mechanism by which over-expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in a panel of gastric cancer cell lines is involved in tumorigenesis of gastric cancer. METHODS: Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to examine the mRNA and protein levels of EZH2, respectively. MTS assay, cell migration and soft agar assay were performed to investigate the role of EZH2 in the regulation of stomach cancer behaviors. The effect of EZH2 on NF-κB target gene expression was determined by Luciferase reporter and real-time PCR. Co-immunoprecipitation was used to analyze the interaction of EZH2 and p65 in HEK293T cells. RESULTS: The expression levels of EZH2 were significantly increased in the gastric cancer cells compared with normal gastric epithelial cells. Pharmacological inhibition by DZNep or knockdown of EZH2 significantly compromised AGS and SNU-16 cell activity, cell migration and anchorage-independent cell growth. Moreover, siRNA knockdown of EZH2 impaired NF-κB downstream targets, such as IL-8, CXCL5 and CCL20. In addition, the interaction of EZH2 and p65 was detected. CONCLUSION: EZH2 mediates the growth of gastric cancer cells through the regulation of NF-κB downstream gene expression.

水分胁迫及复水过程4种牧草形态及其生理特征表达

草地作为半干旱区的主要植被类型之一，开展牧草对土壤水分变化响应机制的研究，对于该地区水资源的可持续利用和生态环境的建设均有重要意义。本文以选取半干旱区4种典型牧草作为研究对象，在对其进行干旱及旱后复水处理模拟自然降水过程的基础上，分析牧草的形态、水分生理、光合生理等特征对土壤水分变化的响应，结果表明：① 水分胁迫下牧草地上形态指标（单叶面积、地上干重）呈显著的下降趋势，而地下形态指标（地下干重、根冠比）则反之；复水结束后，牧草形态特征指标有明显的恢复，披碱草(Elymus nutans Griseb.)和黑麦草(Lolium multiflorum Lam.)出现了超补偿效应。② 水分胁迫下牧草水分生理特征表现为明显的下降趋势，复水后逐渐恢复，复水14~21 d后基本恢复对照组水平。干旱条件下，2种豆科牧草能维持较高的水势，属于高水势延迟脱水型；而禾本科牧草属于低水势忍耐脱水型。③ 水分胁迫下，牧草光合生理特征也表现为明显的下降趋势，轻微水分胁迫能够暂时提高豆科牧草光合能力；豆科和禾本科牧草叶片光合特性对干旱的响应机制存在一定的差异，面对干旱胁迫，豆科牧草通过及时关闭气孔来减少水分散失，而禾本科牧草通过延缓气孔关闭牺牲叶片水分的方式维持正常生长。

谷物联合收获机割台高度控制非常重要，有效的割台高度控制有助于提高喂入量的稳定性、降低整机各环节的负荷波动。本文提出一种基于鲁棒反馈线性化的割台高度控制策略，该方法可以使割台跟随地面起伏进行俯仰控制调节。首先，基于割台结构和动力学分析建立系统数学模型，选取正弦角度的近似约简条件，将多变量的复杂非线性系统线性转换为典型的非线性系统；通过分析传统的反馈线性化控制研究可控仿射的模型构建方法，在集成鲁棒优化设计控制器基础上，提出鲁棒反馈线性化（Robust feedback linearization，RFL），通过构建灵敏度方程、选取增益来稳定系统；选取液压控制机构，根据控制液压输出的电流参数设计为基于鲁棒反馈线性化控制系统的控制器。将传统的PID控制和本文提出的鲁棒反馈线性化控制进行对比实验，结果表明，在不同行驶速度、地形正弦振幅和地形周期条件下，鲁棒反馈线性化控制下的高度误差均小于传统的PID控制；以3种不同行驶速度在同一起伏地面上行进，鲁棒反馈线性化控制下的高度误差受行驶速度增加的影响小于传统的PID控制。     

Screening for reproductive biomarkers in Bactrian camel via iTRAQ analysis of proteomes

Bactrian camel is an ancient and precious species of livestock; that is, unique resources exist in the desert and have important economic and scientific value. In recent years, the number of Bactrian camels has declined sharply. Due to its long reproductive cycle and seasonal oestrus, the mechanism of oestrus is unknown. To identify candidate biomarkers of reproduction, we performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis of serum from Bactrian camel in oestrus and non-oestrus, using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. We identified 359 proteins, of which 32 were differentially expressed: 11 were up-regulated and 21 were down-regulated in samples from camels in oestrus. We validated the differential expression of a subset of these proteins using qPCR and Western blot. Gene ontology annotation identified that the differentially expressed proteins function in cellular processes, metabolic processes and immune system processes. Notably, five of the differentially expressed proteins, PCGF5, histone H1.2, RBP4, FOLR1 and ANTXR2, are involved in reproductive regulatory processes in other animals. KEGG enrichment analysis demonstrated significant enrichment in several cardiac-related pathways, such as ‘dilated cardiomyopathy’, ‘hypertrophic cardiomyopathy’, ‘cardiac muscle contraction’ and ‘adrenergic signalling in cardiomyopathy’. Our results suggest that candidate biomarker (PCGF5, histone H1.2, RBP4, FOLR1 and ANTXR2) discovery can aid in understanding reproduction in Bactrian camels. We conclude that the profiling of serum proteomes, followed by the measurement of selected proteins using more targeted methods, offers a promising approach for studying mechanisms of oestrus.
