Heme oxygenase-1 protects renal function in septic rats via influencing expression of thrombomodulin

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on the kidney of septic rats and the influence of HO-1 on the expression of thrombomodulin (TM) in the kidney. METHODS: Sepsis in rats was developed with cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The septic rats were randomly divided into sham group, CLP group, CLP+HO-1 inducer group and CLP+HO-1 inhibitor group (n=18). The plasma levels of creatinine (Cr), cystatin-C (Cys-C), carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and TM, and the changes of prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in each group were measured. Histopathological examination was performed in the kidney. The expression of TM in the kidney tissue was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, significantly elevated plasma levels of Cr, Cys-C, TNF-α, IL-1β and TM (P<0.05), shortened PT and APTT (P<0.05), significantly increased microthrombus formation, and lowered TM expression in the kidney (P<0.05) of CLP group were observed. The administration of hemin lowered the plasma levels of Cr, Cys-C, TNF-α, IL-1β and TM (P<0.05), prolonged PT and APTT (P<0.05), attenuated microthrombus formation, and up-regulated the expression of TM in the kidney (P<0.05). In contrast, ZnPP had the opposite effects. CONCLUSION: HO-1 increases the expression of TM in the kidney and exerts anticoagulatory and antiinflammatory effects, thereby improving renal function in the septic rats.     

基于改进YOLOv8n的复杂环境下柑橘识别

针对复杂环境下柑橘果实大量重叠、枝叶遮挡且现有模型参数量大、计算复杂度高等问题,提出了一种基于改进YOLOv8n的柑橘识别模型YOLOv8-MEIN。首先,该研究设计了ME卷积模块并使用它改进YOLOv8n的C2f模块。其次,为了弥补CIoU损失函数在检测任务中泛化性弱和收敛速度慢的问题,使用Inner-CIoU损失函数加速边界框回归,提高模型检测性能。最后,在自建数据集上进行模型试验对比,试验结果表明,YOLOv8-MEIN模型交并比阈值为0.5的平均精度均值mAP_0.5值为96.9%,召回率为91.7%,交并比阈值为0.5~0.95的平均精度均值mAP_0.5～0.95值为85.8%,模型大小为5.8MB,参数量为2.87M。与原模型YOLOv8n相比,mAP_0.5值、召回率、mAP_0.5～0.95值分别提高了0.4、1.0、0.6个百分点,模型大小和参数量相比于原模型分别降低了3.3%和4.3%,为柑橘的自动化采摘提供技术参考。     

环鄱阳湖城市群土地利用功能转型及其驱动机制

快速城镇化背景下,推进土地利用高质量转型是实现区域可持续协同发展的重要路径。该研究基于土地利用主导功能,运用综合指数法、耦合协调度模型和时空地理加权回归模型（geographically and temporally weighted regression, GTWR）等方法,分析了环鄱阳湖城市群土地利用功能转型的时空演变特征、耦合协调水平及其驱动机制。结果表明：1）2000—2020年,环鄱阳湖城市群土地利用功能指数从0.20上升到0.55,持续优化提升,但总体上处于中低水平,土地利用功能水平表现为阶段性的变化特征;土地利用功能指数逐渐呈现出中西高、东部低的空间格局。2）生产-生活-生态功能及生产-生活功能的协调度指数持续上升,其余耦合度及协调度指数均呈波动发展的趋势,耦合协调度指数呈现中部和西南部高、东北和西北部低的空间分布格局;以低质量转型为主,平均占比约为50%,功能转型质量有所提升,中西部区县的土地利用功能转型质量要明显优于北部和东部区县。3）不同影响因子的驱动作用存在显著的空间差异。人口密度和城镇化水平的正向驱动作用持续增强,二三产业占比的负向驱动作用增强,人均GDP、人均固定资产投资和人均粮食产量的影响力趋于减弱。应根据各区县土地利用功能的转型阶段,实行差别化的发展政策,补齐区县发展短板,提升功能系统间的耦合协调度。研究结果可为提高区域用地效率,促进土地利用多功能协同发展提供参考和决策依据。

旨在研究急性热应激对山羊抗氧化能力、免疫功能和血淋巴细胞热休克蛋白70(HSP70)家族基因表达的影响。本试验选取5只健康、体况接近的(12±0.5)月龄波尔山羊×关中奶山羊杂交F1母羊,饲养于环控舱内(温度维持20℃,相对湿度60%),适应5d。第6天利用环控舱对5只试验羊进行38℃急性热应激处理12h,采集热应激前(0h,20℃)和热应激后2、4、8和12h试验羊血样。分别利用比色法测定血清抗氧化指标(总抗氧化能力、超氧化物歧化酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶活性和丙二醛含量),ELISA法测定血清免疫指标(免疫球蛋白和细胞因子含量),实时荧光定量PCR法测定血淋巴细胞HSP70家族基因(HSPA1A、HSPA6和HSPA8)mRNA的表达量。结果显示:1)热应激时间对血清抗氧化指标有显著影响。与热应激前0h相比,血清T-AOC(P<0.05)、SOD(P<0.05)和GSH-Px(P<0.01)活性均在热应激8h后显著下降,MDA含量在热应激4h后显著增加(P<0.05)。2)热应激时间对血清免疫指标有显著影响。与热应激前0h相比,血清TNF-α、IL-1β、IFN-γ和IL-2含量分别在热应激4、8、8和4h后显著增加(P<0.05);IL-4(P<0.01)、IgG(P<0.01)、IgM(P<0.01)和IgA(P<0.05)含量分别在热应激12、4、4和4h后显著下降。3)热应激时间显著提高血淋巴细胞中HSP70家族基因(HSPA1A、HSPA6和HSPA8)的表达量。HSPA1AmRNA表达量呈先升高后下降的趋势,在热应激4h时达到峰值,各检测时间点均显著高于应激前水平(P<0.01);HSPA6mRNA表达量在热应激2h时显著升高(P<0.01),4h后恢复到应激前水平(P>0.05);HSPA8mRNA表达量在热应激4(P<0.05)、8(P<0.01)、12h(P<0.01)时显著高于应激前水平。在本试验条件下,38℃急性热应激能够抑制山羊的免疫和抗氧化功能;提高血淋巴细胞HSPA1A、HSPA6和HSPA8基因的表达量,其中HSPA1A对热应激温度和时间更敏感,可作为山羊热应激早期的分子标志物。
