生长激素激活受体机理的研究进展

生长激素(growth hormone,GH)是一种含有191个氨基酸的多肽类激素,分子质量为22 ku,由垂体前叶分泌进入血液循环,与靶细胞膜表面以二聚体形式存在的生长激素受体(growth hormone receptor,GHR)相结合。对于受体的激活来说,仅是二聚化还不够,还需在GH的诱导下发生构象变化,进而才能诱发Janus激酶2(Janus kinase 2,JAK2)的酪氨酸磷酸化,并通过4条不同的路径将信号传入细胞内,从而发挥代谢、增殖及分化等一系列生理效应。作者就生长激素与受体的结构、作用机理、信号转导通路的进展进行综述。     

Failure of passive transfer in foals: incidence and outcome on four studs in New South Wales

Objective To determine the regional incidence and effectiveness of treatment of failure of passive transfer (FPT) in foals. Design A study of disease incidence. Animals Eighty-eight foals and 57 mares from four studs in the practice area of the Rural Veterinary Centre were tested. Procedure Foals were tested for their serum IgG and total serum protein (TSP) concentration within the first 72 hours of life. Colostrum was collected from mares and specific gravity determined. FPT and partial failure of passive transfer (PFPT) of immunoglobulins was diagnosed when serum IgG concentrations were < 4 g/L and 4 to 8 g/L respectively. Owners of foals diagnosed with FPT were offered treatment with 1 to 2 L plasma (TSP > 70 g/L); 9 (64%) of the affected foals were treated. Results Fourteen foals (16%) had FPT whereas 15 (17%) had PFPT. There were significant differences between the mean TSP concentration in foals with FPT (42.6 ± 4.2 g/L), PFPT (48.1 ± 3.9 g/L) and those acquiring adequate passive immunity (58.9 ± 5.5 g/L) (P < 0.01). Sixteen (29%) mares had pre-suck colostral specific gravity < 1.060 and 12 (71%) foals raised by these mares had FPT or PFPT. The incidence of severe disease (categorised by a sepsis score > 11, positive culture of bacteria from blood or disease requiring hospitalisation) in all foals in the first 2 months of life was 10%. However, none of the nine foals with FPT that received plasma experienced severe disease. In contrast, foals with PFPT had an increased susceptibility to severe disease (P < 0.001) when compared with normal foals. Conclusion Treatment of foals with FPT may reduce the subsequent incidence of severe disease. Pre-suck colostral specific gravity and foal TSP may be used to predict the likelihood of FPT and PFPT. Even though the number of foals studied is small the results highlight the importance of optimal management practices in reducing the incidence of FPT and disease associated with this process.     

塔里木河下游不同地下水埋深下的土壤种子库特征

本研究根据长期地下水位的监测资料和土壤种子库的萌发试验,分析了塔里木河下游不同地下水埋深下植物样地土壤种子库特征。结果显示,在干旱地区,地下水埋深的高低不仅影响地上植被群落的种类和组成,而且也对土壤种子库的密度和组成具有明显的影响。随着地下水埋深逐渐下降,种子库密度减少、物种多样性下降、生活型逐渐单一。同时地上植被群落与土壤种子库的相似性系数也逐渐降低。本研究不仅有助于丰富国内外关于干旱区土壤种子库的理论研究,而且有利于指导塔里木河下游正在开展的大规模生态恢复实践。

赤霉素对君子兰花期调控的研究

应用赤霉素不同浓度和不同处理频率对君子兰品种"油匠"进行处理.结果表明:与对照相比各浓度赤霉素(GA3)处理对植株提高抽葶率、提早花期、促进叶生长都有明显作用.每天喷施1次200 mg/L赤霉素后植株的抽葶率高于其他处理,50 mg/L赤霉素可以明显促进君子兰的花葶生长.应用50mg/L和200mg/L赤霉素均可使君子兰提前21 d开花,经过50mg/L赤霉素处理后,花朵和果实数量多于其他处理.

不同土壤水分条件下硅对坪用高羊茅种子出苗及生物学特性的影响

水肥耦合不仅可以维持草坪草的正常生长,而且可以减少一定的灌溉量。采用盆栽试验研究了不同土壤条件下硅对坪用高羊茅种子出苗及生长的影响。结果表明,不添加硅时,高羊茅种子适宜出苗时的土壤含水量应为饱和含水量的４５％～６０％,植株生长适宜的土壤含水量应为饱和含水量的７５％以上;当土壤含水量大于或等于饱和含水量的６０％时,添加硅不仅能够提前坪用高羊茅种子的初始出苗时间,缩短集中出苗时期,提高出苗率,而且能够显著促进高羊茅的株高和叶长生长,增加地上和地下生物量（P＜０．０５）,而当土壤含水量小于或者等于饱和含水量的４５％时,添加硅对高羊茅种子出苗和生长发育没有明显影响,说明添加硅对坪用高羊茅生长的有益作用受土壤含水量的约束;土壤含水量为饱和含水量的６０％时,添加硅处理中植株的分蘖数、株高、叶长和生物量与对照处理中土壤含水量为饱和含水量的７５％时植株的分蘖数、株高、叶长和生物量差异不显著,说明添加硅能降低高羊茅植株正常生长所需的土壤含水量,有利于节约灌溉量。     

Opportunities for investment into small ruminant breeding programmes in Brazil

The social contribution of goat and sheep industries is very important to many Brazilian families mainly in semi‐arid regions of the country. However, the productive chains of these two species in Brazil are unorganized and ultimately informal. On the other hand, there is potential for growth and development to which an upscaling of breeding programmes will be essential. Historically, many attempts to structure these programmes have been unsuccessful. Inadequate understanding of how to achieve genetic improvement often leading to distributing unsuitable exotic genetics among the producers is one of the reasons for the failure. Another important factor is related to the sources of funding and the priorities for the use of funds. According to the experience and the state of the art in Brazil, the priorities for funding must be in the characterization of the different systems and animal genetic resources, organization of information collection procedures and national databanks, training of technicians and producers and development of system to enable animal evaluation.
