甲型肝炎病毒免疫控制研究进展

对甲型肝炎病毒(HAV)发病机理和免疫调控的研究近年来重新受到关注。在发展中国家感染者的平均年龄增加,导致机制尚不明确的更严重的肝炎。而且,从HAV和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的免疫对比来看,这两种正链RNA病毒感染结果完全不同。HCV比HAV复制效率低,导致HCV蛋白表达量低,因此对IFN信号传导的拮抗作用较低。有研究发现循环的HAV病毒颗粒隐藏在膜里,导致先天免疫和抗体介导中和作用的激活。同时还考虑到CD4^+辅助T细胞对CD8^+细胞毒性T细胞对抗病毒免疫和肝损伤的作用,提出了一种非细胞毒性的HAV感染免疫控制模型。     

The fat content of milk from dairy cattle infected with bovine leukosis virus

Two groups of cows infected with the bovine leukosis virus (BLV) were kept on two different diets and the fat content of their milk was assayed. The results were compared with those obtained from two comparable groups of BLV-free cows. The cows in each group were of similar ages, those in the groups on the poorer diet being 1–4 months post partum, while those on the richer diet were 5–7 months post partum. The mean percentage of fat in the milk from uninfected cows on the poorer diet was 2.94 while that from the similar infected cattle was 3.06. Uninfected cows on the richer diet produced milk containing 3.39% fat, while those that were infected produced milk containing 3.30% fat. No statistical differences in milk fat production were observed between the BLV seropositive and seronegative cows.     

不同苜蓿品种在青岛地区的适应性

2007-2010年,在青岛地区对引进的23个国内外苜蓿品种进行了膜侧种植、无灌溉、无施肥模式的田间试验,观测分析了各品种产草量、株高、茎叶比等指标。结果表明,23个苜蓿品种在青岛普遍生长良好,国外品种生产性能优于国内品种;播种当年干草产量膜侧种植组明显高于直接播种组,干草产量增幅(除甘农4号、新疆大叶和牧歌401外)均在50%以上;干草产量与年均日照时数、年均温的灰色关联度分别达到0.795 5和0.878 9,而与年均降水量关联度仅为0.569 1;株高最高的是WL323为87.8 cm,最低的是敖汉苜蓿,仅74.7 cm;供试23个品种的干草产量与株高均存在显著性差异,株高与草产量相关系数达到0.65以上,具有很高的正相关性;茎叶比最低的是牧歌401,仅为1.22,绝大多数苜蓿品种的茎叶比有逐年增加的趋势。综合评价认为供试23个苜蓿品种中的WL323、牧歌401、驯鹿3个品种综合生产性能较好,适宜在青岛地区辅以膜侧种植模式进行大面积推广。     

狂犬病病毒糖蛋白转基因小鼠的构建研究

将狂犬病病毒糖蛋白ｃＤＮＡ ＢｇｌⅡ（１．６７ｋｂ）片段正向插入ｐＭＴ０１０／Ａ＾＋ＢａｍＨⅠ切点，构建重组质粒ｐＭＴ０１０／Ａ＾＋－Ｒｇｐ，用ＥｃｏＲⅠ＋ＳａｌⅠ对ｐＭＴ０１０／Ａ＾＋－Ｒｇｐ进行双酶切后，回收含有狂犬病病毒糖蛋白ｃＤＮＡ和绵羊ＭＴ启动子的２．７６ｋｂ片段，通过显微注射技术将该片段注入小鼠单细胞受精卵雄前核内，在进行胚胎移植后，获得４４只小鼠，经ＰＣＲ、Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交及原位     

猪流感病毒A/swine/Guangdong/2/2012(H1N1)毒株攻毒BALB/c小鼠细胞因子动态变化的研究

为了测定H1N1亚型猪流感病毒(swine influenza virus,SIV)对小鼠的致病性,本试验对A/swine/Guangdong/2/2012(H1N1)株SIV HA基因进行克隆及遗传分析,并将SIV尿囊液经鼻腔感染6周龄BALB/c小鼠,观察感染后小鼠的一般状况、器官系数和组织病理学变化,在病毒感染后第1、3和7天使用荧光定量PCR测定小鼠肺脏、脾脏、脑组织中7种细胞因子mRNA的表达量,研究其对小鼠的致病特性。结果显示,该病毒属于经典SIV,病毒经鼻腔感染后可引起小鼠活动减少、采食量降低,但无咳嗽和死亡;病理组织学变化为肺间隔较正常组织明显增厚,毛细血管明显扩张充血,周围肺泡腔呈代偿性肺气肿;小鼠肺脏、脾脏组织样本中IFN-α、IFN-β、IP-10、IL-1β、TNF-α、IRF-3和IL-10 mRNA含量在感染后第3天均显著升高(P<0.05),而脑组织样本中IL-1β和IL-10在小鼠攻毒后第3和7天均显著上调(P<0.05)。     

Actions of BW540C in an equine model of acute inflammation: A preliminary study

Summary

An equine model of acute non‐immune inflammation has been developed to facilitate studies of the inflammatory process and the actions of novel anti‐inflammatory drugs. Five polyester sponge strips soaked in sterile 2% carrageenin solution were placed in subcutaneous pouches prepared under local anaesthesia in the necks of conscious ponies. Serial removal of the strips and harvesting of the exudate enabled studies to be made of the cellular, biochemical and mediator aspects of the localised, acute inflammation, and the heat generated by the lesion was monitored by infra‐red thermometry. Maximal concentrations of the eicosanoids 6‐keto‐prostaglandin F_1α, thromboxane B₂ and leukotriene B, occurred at 9 h, whereas leukocyte numbers, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total protein concentrations were greatest at 24 h. Lesional skin temperature was increased by approximately 4°C throughout the 24 h period. The novel anti‐inflammatory agent BW540C, administered orally at a dose‐rate of 20 mg/kg, did not affect leukocyte infiltration or the concentrations of protein, LDH and eicosanoids in exudate but serum thromboxane B₂ levels were reduced. Skin temperature rises were greater in drug‐treated animals.

It is concluded that higher doses of BW540C will be required for a clinically useful anti‐inflammatory action in horses.
