L-carnitine significantly decreased aging of rat adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells

Mesenchymal stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to divide continuously and tissue regeneration potential during the transplantation. Aging and loss of cell survival, is one of the main problems in cell therapy. Since the production of free radicals in the aging process is effective, the use of antioxidant compounds can help in scavenging free radicals and prevent the aging of cells. The aim of this study is evaluate the effects of L-carnitine (LC) on proliferation and aging of rat adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rADSC). rADSCs were isolated from inguinal region of 5 male Rattus rats. Oil red-O, alizarin red-S and toluidine blue staining were performed to evaluate the adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of rADSCs, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis was done for investigating the cell surface markers. The methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) method was used to determine the cell proliferation of rADSCs following exposure to different concentrations of LC. rADSCs aging was evaluated by beta-galactosidase staining. The results showed significant proliferation of rADSCs 48 h after treatment with concentrations of 0.2 mM LC. In addition, in the presence of 0.2 mM LC, rADSCs appeared to be growing faster than control group and 0.2 mM LC supplementation could significantly decrease the population doubling time and aging of rADSCs. It seems that LC would be a good antioxidant to improve lifespan of rADSCs due to the decrease in aging.     

Vasovagal tonus index (VVTI) as an indirect assessment of remission status in canine multicentric lymphoma undergoing multi-drug chemotherapy

Vasovagal tonus index (VVTI) is an indirect measure of heart rate variability and may serve as a marker of disease severity. Higher heart rate variability has predicted lower tumour burden and improved survival in humans with various tumour types. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate VVTI as a biomarker of remission status in canine lymphoma. The primary hypothesis was that VVTI would be increased in dogs in remission compared to dogs out of remission. Twenty-seven dogs were prospectively enrolled if they had a diagnosis of intermediate to high-grade lymphoma and underwent multidrug chemotherapy. Serial electrocardiogram data were collected under standard conditions and relationships between VVTI, remission status and other clinical variables were evaluated. VVTI from dogs in remission (partial or complete) did not differ from dogs with fulminant lymphoma (naive or at time of relapse). Dogs in partial remission had higher VVTI than dogs in complete remission (p = 0.021). Higher baseline VVTI was associated with higher subsequent scores (p < 0.001). VVTI also correlated with anxiety level (p = 0.03). Based on this pilot study, VVTI did not hold any obvious promise as a useful clinical biomarker of remission status. Further investigation may better elucidate the clinical and prognostic utility of VVTI in dogs with lymphoma.     

寡肽的转运机制及其影响因素

1传统的蛋白质消化吸收理论及其局限性传统的蛋白质消化、吸收理论认为:蛋白质在肠腔内,由肽蛋白酶和糜蛋白酶作用生成游离氨基酸和寡肽(含2￣6个氨基酸残基),寡肽在肽酶的作用下完全被水解成游离氨基酸,并以游离氨基酸形式进入血液循环。根据这一理论,蛋白质仅为动物机体提供氨基酸,即蛋白质的营养就是氨基酸的营养。因此,只要我们给动物提供充足的必需氨基酸,动物就能获得满意的生产性能。但是,许多研究表明:原体蛋白质能被单体氨基酸所替代的量是有限的,给畜禽饲喂低水平蛋白质并补充合成氨基酸日粮并不能获得最佳的生产性能和饲料效率,…     

四种羊传染性疾病诊断试剂的测试比对试验及结果分析

随着我国改革开放的步伐加快,我国畜牧业的发展也迎来了新的大好时期。从澳大利亚和新西兰进口的种羊数量增长很快。1995年至2000年从天津口岸进口种羊约2600只,2001年至2006年约4587只。大量动物进口的同时,也带来了动物疫病传入的风险。     

关于公路动物防疫检查站对未经检疫动物实施补免、补检做法的探讨

对未经检疫的畜禽不能在运输环节进行补免和补检,要强化产地免疫和检疫;要在法规上加以明确,禁止逃避检疫行为;同时完善配套的公路动物防疫检查站留验场所和标准规定。

Integrated approach for improving small scale market oriented dairy systems in Pakistan: participatory rural appraisal and economic opportunity survey

Livestock production is an integral part of the rain-fed and irrigated agriculture system in Pakistan. Animal production is closely interlinked with the cropping systems and play a crucial role in the rural economy. Participatory rural appraisals and economic opportunity surveys were conducted in two ecological zones (irrigated and rain-fed) and two dairy production systems (peri-urban and mixed livestock). Major constraints in animal health, nutrition and reproduction were identified and interventions were suggested to overcome these difficulties. The economic opportunity survey revealed that maximum opportunity to enhance farmers’ income is to increase milk production per day per animal, which can be accomplished through coordinated improvements in nutrition, reproduction and genetics.     

几种合生素对肉仔鸭生长性能和血液生化指标的影响

试验研究了日粮中添加几种合生素和黄霉素对肉仔鸭生长性能与几种血液生化指标的影响。选择4日龄樱桃谷鸭200只,分为5个日粮处理,分别为基础日粮、基础日粮 黄霉素、基础日粮 合生素A、基础日粮 合生素B、基础日粮 市售合生素C。每处理4个重复,每重复10只。试验期为21d,试验期间记录肉仔鸭采食量,测定增重,试验期末,翅下静脉采血,分析血清总蛋白、白蛋白、尿素氮含量与谷草转氨酶、谷丙转氨酶及碱性磷酸酶活性。结果表明,黄霉素组和合生素B组及合生素C组均显著提高了肉仔鸭的日增重(ADG)(P<0.05)、降低了料重比(F/G)(P<0.05);合生素B组显著提高了血清尿素氮(BUN)的水平(P<0.05)。合生素A组显著降低了肉仔鸭血清总蛋白(TP)的水平(P<0.05)。黄霉素与几种合生素均显著降低了肉仔鸭血清白蛋白(ALB)的水平(P<0.05)。合生素A组显著提高了肉仔鸭血清谷草转氨酶(GOT)的水平(P<0.05)。     

养殖场环境污染的治理

国内外治理畜禽粪便主要分为产前、产中和产后治理. 　　1 产前治理 　　发达国家对养殖场污染物的治理主要采用源头控制的对策,因为即使在对农民有巨额补贴的欧洲国家,能够采用污水处理设备的畜禽养殖场也很少,为此畜禽场的源控制,主要通过制定畜禽场农田最低配置(指畜禽场饲养量必须与周边可蓄纳畜禽粪便的农田面积相匹配)、畜禽场化粪池容量、密封性等方面的规定进行[1].在日本、欧洲大部分国家,强制要求单位面积的养殖畜禽数量,使畜禽养殖数量与地表的植物及自净能力相适应.……     

造纸废水对湿地芦苇纤维素含量的影响

芦苇(Phragmites australis)是较好的造纸材料,其纤维素含量高低直接影响造纸的价值,纤维素越高,制浆、漂白工艺越简单,成纸紧度、透明度越高。为研究造纸废水灌溉对芦苇纤维素含量的作用效果,以灌溉造纸废水的芦苇茎和叶为试验对象,测定不同灌溉期和不同浓度废水下芦苇茎和叶的纤维素含量。结果表明,1)灌溉300mg·L-1浓度废水对芦苇纤维素含量影响最大,出苗期芦苇茎纤维素含量表现为:300mg·L-1(36.39%)175mg·L-1(35.39%)50mg·L-1(34.73%)0(33.45%);2)在快速生长期灌溉废水最利于芦苇纤维素的积累,如浓度为300mg·L-1时芦苇茎纤维素含量变化量表现为快速生长期(11.75%)抽穗期(9.64%)成熟期(9.6%)展叶期(7.68%)出苗期(3.64%);3)芦苇纤维素含量总体表现为茎叶,如在出苗期灌溉浓度为300mg·L-1的废水,芦苇纤维素含量表现为茎(33.45%)叶(22.11%);4)废水浓度(X)对芦苇纤维素含量(Y)有显著影响(P0.05),二者的回归方程分别为Y茎=0.012 X+0.379 8,Y叶=0.008 X+0.249 2。
