硅对盐胁迫下藜麦生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

全球气候变暖降水减少加速了土壤盐渍化进程,对农业生产造成了严重影响,低浓度的盐分对藜麦发育没有明显影响,但盐含量较高的土壤则不利于藜麦的生长。前人研究表明,硅能帮助植物在盐胁迫条件下更好的生长。本实验以4种藜麦为研究材料,在300mmol.L_-1^{盐胁迫条件下设置硅浓度梯度(CK、0、0.5、1、1.5、2 mmol.L}_-1^{),研究硅对盐胁迫条件下藜麦幼苗的}生长影响及其生理机制,为提高藜麦耐盐性提供参考。结果表明：(1)与对照相比,盐胁迫条件下藜麦幼苗的芽长均明显降低,根长均显著增加;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)等抗氧化酶活性有不同程度的增加;可溶性糖(SS)含量降低;超氧阴离子自由基(O_2^.-)产生速率丙二醛(MDA)含量增加。(2)随硅浓度的增加,藜麦幼苗的芽长、根长、SOD、POD、CAT、SS均表现为先增加后降低的趋势,O_2.-^{产生速率和MDA含量先降低后升高。(3)}适当浓度外源硅的添加提高了盐胁迫条件下藜麦幼苗的抗氧化酶活性和SS含量,降低O_2.-^{产生速率和MDA含量,促进了藜麦幼苗在盐胁迫条件下的生长,0.5～1mmol.L}_-1^{硅浓度效果最好。}

Carbon Dioxide Laser Keratectomy as a Treatment Option for Equine Corneal Stromal Abscessation: A Comparison to Lamellar Keratectomy and Penetrating Keratoplasty

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser keratectomy was compared to lamellar keratectomy (LK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK) as a potential treatment option for equine corneal stromal abscessation. The medical records of 35 client owned horses undergoing surgical management of stromal abscessation were reviewed. Among those 17 underwent LK, 3 PK and 15 CO₂ laser keratectomy. Healing of the stromal abscess was achieved in all treated eyes. Those horses undergoing CO₂ laser keratectomy demonstrated few complications, and the time to healing and cosmetic outcome was comparable to those horses undergoing LK and PK.     

The Effect of Levothyroxine Treatment on Resting Energy Expenditure of Hypothyroid Dogs

Thirty adult, client-owned dogs were diagnosed with hypothyroidism based on history, physical examination findings, hematologic and biochemical abnormalities, thyrotropin (TSH) response testing, endogenous canine thyrotropin (cTSH) concentration, or both, and total serum thryoxine concentration. All dogs received levothyroxine (L-thyroxine) at an initial dose of 22 μg/kg PO sid in either a tablet (13 dogs) or chewable form (17 dogs). Energy expenditure of each dog during apparent rest was estimated with an open-flow indirect calorimetry system by determining the rates of carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption. Energy expenditure of apparent rest (EE) was lower in untreated hypothyroid dogs compared with reference values for EE. After treatment with L-thyroxine, EE of the hypothyroid dogs was significantly ( P < .05) higher than pretreatment values.     

Efficacy of chlorine dioxide gas in reducing Escherichia coli and Salmonella from broiler house environments

Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. are considered to be the major pathogens associated with human transmissible infectious diseases in the air of poultry houses. Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is an effective biocide against a wide range of microorganisms. Accordingly, this study investigated the efficiency of gaseous ClO₂ application for disinfecting broiler houses by collecting air samples before and after fumigation using a passive method. Fumigation was performed with 125 mL or 250 mL of ClO₂ liquid (containing 2,000 ppm of ClO₂) and 3 trials were conducted for each dose. A total of 27 petri dishes were used for each trial (for each type of bacteria: E. coli or Salmonella) and placed in 3 different locations (front, middle and back) and 3 different positions (top, middle and floor) of the broiler shed. Air samples were collected at 10 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, and 12 h before and after fumigation to evaluate the air quality in terms of the concentration of E. coli and Salmonella. Both levels of ClO₂ were capable of reducing the concentration of E. coli from broiler house air during all measuring periods except 10 min, with highest disinfection rate being observed at 6 h. With the exception of 1 h, the concentration of Salmonella was also reduced after fumigation with ClO₂ in all measuring period; with the highest disinfection rate occurring at 6 h. Fumigation with ClO₂ had no negative effect on birds’ health condition. Taken together, these results suggest that the application of gaseous ClO₂ at the investigated levels can be an effective option for reducing bacterial load from broiler house environments.     

罐装奶粉真空度形成影响因素研究

奶粉营养成分丰富,为避免罐装奶粉在货架期内出现胀罐情况,保证产品货架期的稳定性,一般采用气调包装并在罐内形成一定真空度。为研究罐装奶粉真空度影响因素,制备罐装奶粉并测试不同条件下罐内的真空度。通过对罐装奶粉进行长期跟踪测试,研究存储时间、存储温度、气体比例对罐内真空度形成的影响。结果表明,随着存储时间增加,罐内真空度呈现先快速增大后趋于平缓的趋势;在存储前期,37℃、47℃条件下的样品形成的真空度较常温更大;二氧化碳（CO2）的比例对罐内真空度形成的影响显著。     

Comparison of emission estimates for non‐CO2 greenhouse gases from livestock and poultry in Korea from 1990 to 2010

It has often been claimed that non‐carbon dioxide greenhouse gases (NCGGs), such as methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated greenhouse gases, are significant contributors to climate change. Here we nvestigate emission estimates of methane and nitrous oxide from livestock and poultry production, which is recognized as a major source of those NCGGs, in Korea over the period of 1990 through 2010. Based on the data on livestock and poultry populations, emission estimates of methane and nitrous oxide are first derived based on the Tier 1 approach. Then, the Tier 2 approach is adopted to obtain emission estimates of methane and nitrous oxide from cattle, which are known to be the largest sources of these NCGGs and account for about 70% of emissions from livestock and poultry in Korea. The result indicates that the Tier 2 estimates of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management are significantly different from the Tier 1 estimates over the analysis period.
