Transthoracic echocardiographic measurement of patent ductus arteriosus in dogs

BACKGROUND: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) size and morphology influence the selection of the kind and the size of the embolization device used to effect shunt closure. HYPOTHESIS: That echocardiographic measurement of PDA in dogs is accurate. ANIMALS: Forty-five client-owned dogs with PDA. METHODS: Prospective observational study. Echocardiographic and angiographic data were compared. RESULTS: Measurement of the ductus in color Doppler echocardiography (CD-E) and 2-dimensional echocardiography (2D-E) was achieved from left parasternal views in 43 of 45 unsedated dogs (96%). In these 43 dogs, the angiographic minimal PDA diameter was 3.72 +/- 1.59 mm, and the diameter of the PDA ampulla was 8.46 +/- 3.01 mm. The CD-E minimal PDA diameter ranged from 2.3 to 9.5 mm (median, 4.0 mm). There was a significant mean difference to the angiographic measurements (1.15 +/- 0.95 mm; P < .0001). An agreement in a 1-mm range was found in 21 of 43 dogs (48%). The 2D-E minimal PDA diameter was 3.73 +/- 1.78 mm, and the mean difference to the angiographic measurements was not significant (0.00 +/- 0.72 mm; P = .98). An agreement in a 1-mm range was found in 31 of 43 dogs (72%). The 2D-E measurement of the PDA ampulla revealed a significant mean difference to the angiographic data (1.95 +/- 2.43 mm, P < .0001). An agreement in a 2-mm range was found in 21 of 43 dogs (49%). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: The 2D-E from the left cranial parasternal view is an excellent noninvasive method to estimate the PDA minimal diameter before doing catheter intervention.     

CoCl2对Na2CO3胁迫下苜蓿幼苗叶片细胞膜的保护作用

本研究报道了CoCl2对Na2CO3胁迫下苜蓿幼苗叶片细胞膜的保护作用及机制,研究结果表明,在120mmol/L Na2CO3胁迫的前期,苜蓿幼苗叶片多胺含量及抗氧化酶活性显著升高,过氧化物酶除外,而活性氧水平、脂质过氧化程度和细胞膜相对透性无显著变化;当120 mmol/L Na2CO3胁迫延长至24~28 d时,乙烯产生速率大幅度上升,多胺氧化酶及二胺氧化酶活性显著升高,精胺、亚精胺和腐胺含量显著下降;抗氧化酶活性显著下降,活性氧水平与脂质过氧化程度显著提高,细胞膜稳定指数大幅度下降。在120 mmol/L Na2CO3溶液中加入CoCl2至50μmol/L,在胁迫的整个过程中乙烯产生被显著抑制,同时相对提高了抗氧化酶的活性,并在胁迫后期显著减轻了多胺氧化酶活性升高、多胺含量下降及脂质过氧化程度的增加,减缓了细胞膜稳定指数的下降,从而对Na2CO3胁迫下苜蓿幼苗叶片细胞膜表现出一定的保护作用。

陆地棉品种间杂种F_2代优势研究及经济农艺性状的通径分析

用７个Ｆ１代具高竞争优势的陆地棉品种间杂种Ｆ＿２代和高产、优质、多抗的品种鄂棉１５（对照）为材料，研究了Ｆ＿２代及皮棉产量等经济性状的竞争优势，又对它们与株高等在艺性状进行了通径分析。结果表明：正确选配亲本，能将高产、优质、早熟综合于一体，多代利用陆地棉品种间杂种。３８４×３６１Ｆ＿２，鄂荆１号（３２４７）×３６１Ｆ２显著优于对照，分别增产１５．４９％、１２．１６％，且纤维长度、早熟性与对照相近，在生产上有很大的利用价值。决定Ｆ＿２代皮棉产量主要是单株铃数、衣分以及它们之间的互作。同一农艺性状对不同经济性状影响程度很不相同，每个经济性状一般都受１～３个主要农艺性状和它们之间，或它们与其他农艺性状互作所制约。在湖北生态条件下，高产、优质、早熟的陆地棉品种间杂种Ｆ＿２代应具备棉抹较高，果位适中而果高偏低，纵横比较大，果枝夹角较小及主茎节距较大等农艺性状     

rep-PCR法对稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体的评价

构建稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体是研究目的基因遗传特点，乃至克隆目的基因的重要基础，但是在建立有性后代随机群体时，可能会有无性后代污染。采用先分离单个子囊，待其长成菌落并产生分生孢子后，再分离单个萌发的分生孢子的方法构建稻瘟病菌有性后代随机群体。利用基于重复DNA序列Pot2的rep-PCR方法对分离得到的有性后代进行DNA指纹分析，并评价构建的稻瘟病菌有性后代群体的质量。结果表明，构建的有性后代随机群体共包含176个后代。每个后代个体的DNA指纹图谱均与两亲本的DNA指纹图谱不一致；有性后代之间的DNA指纹图谱也彼此不一样，说明得到的有性后代个体都是由子囊孢子萌发形成的，且分离自不同的子囊。GUY11的rep-PCR扩增片段中的5个特异性片段的分离比例也都符合1:1的期望值，是按单个位点标记分离的，与已知的结果相吻合，说明有性后代随机群体的质量较高，不存在偏离现象，是一个较为理想的群体。同时，研究结果还得出基于Pot2的rep-PCR方法可以用来快速评价稻瘟病菌有性后代群体的质量。     

Effect of H2O2 in the Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Pollutant

The high efficient strain was separated and filtrated from the soil contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbon. The authors, we focus on the effect of H2 O2 in the bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutant. The results show that the optimal concentration of H2O2was 200 mg/L at one time. At the lag phase of the strain, H2O2 was added in per eight hour, and at logarithmic phase, H2O2 was added in per two hour. Biodegradation rate of petroleum hydrocarbon was increased from 38. 1% to 83. 1%. The bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon pollutant is remarkably by double effects of deep oxidation and oxygen supply of H2O2.
