An investigation of Leishmania spp. in Didelphis spp. from urban and peri-urban areas in Bauru (São Paulo, Brazil)

Blood and bone marrow samples were taken from 112 Didelphis spp., collected between March 2005 and February 2006, from urban and peri-urban areas of Bauru, São Paulo State, Brazil, to evaluate the hypothesis that these animals might constitute a reservoir of Leishmania spp. Anti-Leishmania ssp. antibodies were screened in the serum samples using an enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR was performed on fragments of DNA samples from Leishmania spp. using primers 13A and 13B, and showed a positive outcome in 91.6% of the 112 samples tested. Of the 107 samples analyzed by ELISA, 71% were positive. Evidence of epidemiological risk factors such as a circulating parasite and freely moving vectors suggests that Didelphis spp. may participate in the transmission cycle of Leishmania spp. in Bauru.     

Endocannabinoids as endometrial inflammatory markers in lactating Holstein cows

The objective of this study was to consider endocannabinoid system as inflammatory markers in bovine endometrium to better understand the role of this system in regulating many of the functions that are related to inflammatory condition. At day 26 post‐partum, fourteen cows were divided into two groups depending on the inflammatory condition: 1‐ subclinical endometritis (n = 7, with purulent or mucopurulent uterine discharge detectable in the vagina) and 2‐ healthy (n = 7, No (muco)) purulent discharge. Blood samples were collected at 26 and 30 days relative to calving to determine plasma tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP) concentrations; moreover, uterine biopsy was carried out on day 26 post‐partum to measure mRNA abundance of TNF, interleukin‐1B (IL1B), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), C‐X‐C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), endocannabinoid receptor (CNR2), N‐acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPEPLD), fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), N‐acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA) and monoglyceride lipase (MGLL) by real‐time PCR. Results showed mean plasma concentrations of TNF and LBP were lower in healthy cows compared to subclinical endometritis cows (p < .05). Relative mRNA expression for NAAA and FAAH was decreased (p < .05), and relative mRNA expression for CNR2 and NAPEPLD increased in cows with subclinical endometritis compared to healthy cows. In conclusion, relative mRNA expression of TNF, IL1B and CXCL8 and plasma concentration of LBP increased during inflammatory condition along with decreased endocannabinoids hydrolyzing enzyme (NAAA and FAAH), increased enzymes that synthesize endocannabinoids (NAPEPLD) and relative gene expression of the endocannabinoid receptor; together, these contribute to increased endocannabinoids levels during inflammation. Overall, we provide evidence that endocannabinoid system is altered in endometrium tissue during inflammation through increased mRNA expression of CNR2 and synthesis enzyme and decreased mRNA expression of hydrolyzing enzymes interfere with pro‐cytokine production and signalling, which may interfere with the onset and progression of inflammation.     

熊胆汁的定性检查

本文比较了熊(黑熊和棕熊)、牛、羊、猪、犬、兔、鸭等动物胆汁的外观性状,并对这些动物的胆汁及熊胆制剂中提取的胆汁酸成分进行了薄层层析比较。结果表明,熊胆汁层析图谱具有明显的特征性。将它们水解后层析,只有熊胆汁含游离的熊去氧胆酸。根据胆汁样品及其水解产物样品的层析图谱,即可鉴定商品熊胆及其制剂的真伪。

香猪卵巢StAR和CYP11A1基因的差异表达研究

为了揭示香猪繁殖调控的分子机制,本试验结合生物信息学分析方法对StAR和CYP11A1基因在香猪卵巢组织中的差异表达进行分析。运用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测高、低产群体6月龄香猪卵巢组织中StAR和CYP11A1基因的表达量变化;从香猪基因组中克隆两个基因的启动子区域,分析两个基因表达差异的分子机制。高通量转录组测序和实时荧光定量PCR检测结果均显示,高产香猪两个基因的表达量较高,启动子区序列长分别为1 144与970 bp。StAR基因启动子区结合转录因子ER、COUP、Sp1等34种72个,转录起始位点上游68~698 bp存在8个变异位点,但不影响转录因子的结合;与CYP11A1基因启动子区相结合的转录因子为Sp1、PU.1、C/EBPdel等30种75个,转录起始位点上游12~593 bp存在5个变异位点,其中69 bp处检测到C-T变异,高产香猪的T等位基因检出频率为17%,低产香猪为33%;对预测结果整合分析,T等位基因丢失了转录因子Sp1的结合位点。高、低产香猪之间StAR和CYP11A1基因的表达存在差异,CYP11A1基因启动子区69 bp处的变异可能是基因表达量差异的原因之一。
