Pyruvate kinase is necessary for Brucella abortus full virulence in BALB/c mouse

Brucellosis, caused by a facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella, is one of the most prevalent zoonosis worldwide. Host infection relies on several uncanonical virulence factors. A recent research hotpot is the links between carbon metabolism and bacterial virulence. In this study, we found that a carbon metabolism-related pyruvate kinase (Pyk) encoded by pyk gene (locus tag BAB_RS24320) was associated with Brucella virulence. Determination of bacterial growth curves and resistance to environmental stress factors showed that Pyk plays an important role in B. abortus growth, especially under the conditions of nutrition deprivation, and resistance to oxidative stress. Additionally, cell infection assay showed that Pyk is necessary for B. abortus survival and evading fusion with lysosomes within RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, animal experiments exhibited that the Pyk deletion significantly reduced B. abortus virulence in a mouse infection model. Our results elucidated the role of the Pyk in B. abortus virulence and provided information for further investigation of Brucella virulence associated carbon metabolism.     

Comparative analysis of proteomic profiles between endometrial caruncular and intercaruncular areas in ewes during the peri-implantation period

The endometrium of sheep consists of plenty of raised intercaruncular areas （IC）. In order to better understand aglandular areas called caruncular （C）, and intensely glandular the endometrium involved mechanisms of implantation, we used LC-MS/MS technique to profile the proteome of ovine endometrial C areas and IC areas separately during the peri-implantation period, and then compared the proteomic profiles between these two areas. We successfully detected 1740 and 1813 proteins in C areas and IC areas respectively. By comparing the proteome of these two areas, we found 170 differentially expressed proteins （DEPs） （P 〈 0.05）, functional bioinformatics analysis showed these DEPs were mainly involved in growth and remodeling of endometrial tissue, cell adhesion and protein transport, and so on Our study, for the first time, provided a proteomic reference for elucidating the differences between C and IC areas, as an integrated function unit respectively, during the peri-implantation period. The results could help us to better understand the implantation in the ewes. In addition, we established a relatively detailed protein database of ovine endometrium, which provide a unique reference for further studies.     

Effects of steam-treated rice straw feeding on growth,digestibility, and plasma volatile fatty acids of goats under different housing systems

In order to use rice straw as forage in livestock feeding, the effects of steam-treated rice straw (at 15.5 kgf/cm² for 120 s) feeding on growth performance, plasma volatile fatty acid profile, and nutrient digestibility of goats were determined. Twenty male goats (18.69?±?0.34 kg) were used in an 84-day trial. The goats were divided into four groups of five goats each to receive steam-treated (STRS) or untreated (UTRS) rice straw diet under closed house (CH) and open house (OH) systems. The results revealed that the goats fed with STRS had significantly higher dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent fiber (ADF) digestibility; similarly, the average daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio were higher for STRS groups under both CH and OH systems than those for UTRS. The plasma protein and insulin in STRS and cholesterol in UTRS groups was higher (P?P?>?0.05) at 30 days. The plasma amylase, lipase, T₃, T₄ and glucagon at 30 and 60 days were not different (P?>?0.05) among the groups. The plasma acetate, propionate, butyrate, and total volatile fatty acid were higher (P?P?>?0.05) on these parameters. It could be concluded that steam treatment of rice straw at 15.5 kgf/cm² for 120 s increased apparent nutrient digestibility, hence increased the growth and feed efficiency of growing goats.     

内蒙古呼伦贝尔地区羊源多杀性巴氏杆菌荚膜血清群分子流行病学调查

近年来,羊多杀性巴氏杆菌病在内蒙古自治区呼伦贝尔市时有发生。为了解呼伦贝尔市羊源多杀性巴氏杆菌荚膜血清型流行状况,通过建立多杀性巴氏杆菌分子生物学诊断方法,以羊病变组织为研究对象,对呼伦贝尔市羊源多杀性巴氏杆菌,进行荚膜血清群分子流行病学调查,同时应用K-B纸片琼脂扩散法,对分离菌株进行药物敏感性试验,以找到针对本地区流行株的敏感药物。结果显示:从采集的35份病羊肺组织病料中,分离出12株B群、9株D群多杀性巴氏杆菌,未分离出其他血清群;分离菌株对青霉素、链霉素耐药率最高,对氯霉素、四环素、诺氟沙星、环丙沙星敏感。结果表明,呼伦贝尔市流行的羊源多杀性巴氏杆菌以B群、D群为主,且分离菌株对青霉素、链霉素产生了较高的耐药性,需指导和监管抗菌药物的合理使用。本研究查清了本地区流行的优势多杀性巴氏杆菌血清群,找到了针对性敏感药物,这为该市羊巴氏杆菌病防控提供了有效的技术支撑,也对多杀性巴氏杆菌病流行病学监测和基因多样性研究奠定了基础。     

农村养蚕小窍门

笔者已多年从事蚕桑生产,深入蚕户,积累了许多有用的经验,供广大蚕农借鉴。1“防尘口罩”的制作很多蚕农都知道,杀灭病原,严防蚕病发生,关键是消毒严格、彻底。但在蚕体蚕座使用防僵粉或鲜石灰粉时,灰尘很大,气味刺鼻,所以常常草草了事。要使药物撒周到,很简单,就是把平常用的口罩用水打湿后再用,粉粒就会粘附在口罩上,并且气味也减小了。2经济、实用的熟蚕自动上蔟登蔟剂现有很多蚕农推广熟蚕自动上蔟,这样可以节省劳力和时间。目前农村养蚕用于熟蚕自动上蔟的登蔟剂最常用的有两种,即樟脑丸和鲜腥草(俗名侧耳根),它们都有一种特殊的气味,…     

采摘机器人位置校正方法研究——基于无线传感网络和超带宽调频方法

超带宽雷达是新近出现的一种高分辨率雷达,当信号带宽和其发射中心频率的比大于0.25时,就被称作超带宽,带宽越大,雷达对目标的分辨能力越高。超带宽雷达具有高分辩能力,如果将其使用在采摘机器人定位导航系统中,可以有效地提高采摘机器人的定位导航精度和效率。为此,提出了一种基于无线传感网络和超带宽调频技术的采摘机器人位置校正方法,并以实际采摘环境作为研究对象,对采摘机器人的位置校正过程进行了测试。测试结果表明:采用超带宽调频无线传感网络方法,定位校正精度要高于传统的定位算法,且定位效率高,对于新型自动化采摘作业机器人的研究具有重要的指导意义。     

河北进境种用动物衣原体血清学检测

衣原体病是一种重要的人畜共患病,给养殖业带来巨大的经济损失,同时严重威胁从业人员的身体健康。本研究对河北辖区引进的2批种鸡、2批种鸭及2批种猪进行抽样,使用间接血凝试验（IHA）检测引进种用动物的衣原体抗体。结果表明：衣原体IHA抗体阳性率为15.7%。在种鸡、种鸭和种猪中均检测到衣原体IHA抗体,阳性率分别为18.1%、4.2%和20%。这说明在引进种用动物中存在着较高的衣原体抗体阳性率,需要加强对该病的检测。     

北大营示范场黑麦草引种与品比试验研究

利用1998年2－11月在云南省北大营示范场引种的10个黑麦草品种的观测资料，统计分析了在高、中、低3种施肥水平下黑麦草的累计产量、月平均产量及其生长速度的变化规律，研究了影响产量的主导因子及其监测模型。结果表明，在10个品种中，伯生（Bison Intermdiate）及安巴瑟（Embassy）具有良好的生产性能。黑麦草产量主要受气候、土壤肥力及品种等因素的影响，其中测草盘高度、降水量、蒸发量、日照时数和牧草生长天数等5个因子，可以较好地模拟、评估黑麦草产量的变化动态。     

牛子宫复旧过程中胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白降解规律的研究

本实验监测8头围产期奶牛外周血浆中胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白的代谢产物——羟基脯氨酸(HP)和3甲基组氨酸(3MH)的含量,借以找出这两种蛋白质的代谢规律和子宫复旧的关系。结果表明:荷兰黑白花牛和娟珊牛血浆中HP的含量和子宫角直径分别呈显著及极显著正相关(r=0.41,P<0.05和r=0.57 P<0.01),而3MH分别呈极显著和显著正相关(r=0.52 P<0.01和r=0.39(P<0.05)。此外,黑白花牛血浆中3MH的含量极显著高于娟珊牛(P<0.001)。两个品种牛子宫复旧的平均时间,黑白花牛为37.4±3.1天,娟珊牛32.3±2.1天。结果说明牛产后子宫体积的缩小与子宫肌肉的胶原蛋白和肌浆球蛋白降解成氨基酸排出体外有关,子宫复旧的速度可能决定于这两种蛋白质的降解速度。
