毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内代谢酶的影响

为了解毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内代谢酶的影响,采用不同浓度的毒死蜱对桔小实蝇敏感种群进行连续处理,测定其体内的羧酸酯酶（CarE）、谷胱甘肽S-转移酶（GSTs）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）的活性。结果表明：随着毒死蜱浓度的增加,桔小实蝇的敏感性出现逐渐下降的趋势,体内的CarE活性得到显著提升（F=43.21,p=0.024）,抗性倍数为1.74,GSTs活性也显著上升（F=47.73,p=0.018）,抗性倍数为1.98,但对CAT、POD的提升作用较小,表明毒死蜱对桔小实蝇体内的CarE、GSTs活力具有一定的诱导作用。     

Evaluation of the oral 13C-bicarbonate technique for measurements of energy expenditure in dogs before and after body weight reduction

Background

Overweight and obesity are the most common nutritional disorders in dogs and may lead to various secondary diseases and decreased lifespan. In obesity research, measurement of energy expenditure (EE) and determination of the energy requirements are essential. The objective with this study was to validate and evaluate the suitability of the oral ¹³C-bicarbonate technique (o¹³CBT) for measuring EE in dog obesity studies. A further objective was to investigate the impact of body weight (BW) reduction and changes in body composition on the EE when measured under conditions corresponding to the basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Results

The EE in five privately owned, overweight dogs was measured simultaneously with the o¹³CBT and indirect calorimetry (IC) for comparison of the results. Two measurements per dog were performed under the same standardised conditions (i.e. fasted and resting state) at the start, and after completing a 12-week BW reduction program. Additionally, measurements of body composition by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were conducted at the beginning and at the end of the BW reduction program. There were no differences in EE results obtained by the o¹³CBT and IC. Overweight and the BW reduction did not affect the estimates for the respiratory quotient (RQ) or the recovery factor for the ¹³C-tracer (RF), both needed when using the o¹³CBT. The dogs lost 16% (SD ± 2.0) of their initial BW in reduced fat mass (P < 0.001), whereas fat free mass (FFM) remained unchanged. There was no effect of the BW reduction on the determined EE expressed in kJ/kg BW/d, or in kJ/kg BW^0.75/d. However, EE was lower (P < 0.001) after the BW reduction program when expressed in relation to FFM (kJ/kg FFM/d).

Conclusions

Results from the present study show that the o¹³CBT can be a used in obesity research to determine EE in fasted dogs and under resting conditions. Furthermore, the results suggest that the BMR does not change with reduced BW in overweight dogs as long as the FFM remains unchanged. This indicates that the BMR to maintain one gram of fat is equal to maintaining one gram of FFM in overweight dogs.     

紫色土丘陵坡地恢复过程中土壤微生物生物量碳与水溶性有机碳变化特征

为了研究湖南省衡阳市紫色土丘陵坡地恢复过程中土壤微生物生物量碳（SMBC）与水溶性有机碳（SWSOC）的变化特征。采用空间序列代替时间序列的方法,选用立地条件基本相似的草坡阶段（GT）、草灌阶段（MT）、灌丛阶段（FX）、灌乔阶段（FA）、乔木阶段（AR）和顶极阶段（TV）,通过调查取样和试验分析,对不同恢复阶段的0~10,10~20和20~40 cm土层土壤的SMBC、土壤微生物熵（SMQ）、SWSOC、水溶性有机碳与土壤有机碳的比值（SWSOC/SOC）、土壤基础呼吸（SBR）的变化规律以及他们与土壤理化性质的关系进行了研究。结果表明：SMBC和SBR随着土层深度的增加而减小,随着恢复的进行而增加;SMQ随着土层深度的增加和恢复进行而增加;在不同的恢复阶段,SWSOC均随着土层深度的增加而减小,在0~10 cm土层,SWSOC随着恢复的进行而增加,在10~20和20~40 cm土层,SWSOC随着恢复的进行先增后减;SWSOC/SOC随着土层深度的增加而增加,随着恢复的进行而减小;SMBC,SMQ,SWSOC,SBR均与土壤理化性质存在密切的相关性。研究表明,植被恢复有利于土壤质量的提高和土壤有机碳库的累积。

通过田间定位试验,研究黄土高原西部旱农区多年生苜蓿草地(L-L)及苜蓿耕翻轮作处理苜蓿-休闲(L-F)、苜蓿-小麦(L-W)、苜蓿-玉米(L-C)、苜蓿-马铃薯(L-P)、苜蓿-谷子(L-M)对土壤总有机碳(TOC)、易氧化有机碳(ROC)、轻组有机碳(LFOC)及重组有机碳(HFOC)的影响。结果表明,在0200 cm土层,不同轮作模式下土壤总有机碳含量及土壤各有机碳组分均表现为随土层加深呈波动下降趋势,其中TOC、ROC、HFOC含量最高值和最低值分别出现在苜蓿连作表层(05 cm) 和苜蓿轮作(小麦)中层(3050 cm) ,LFOC最高值和最低值分别出现在苜蓿轮作(马铃薯)表层(05 cm)和苜蓿轮作(玉米)底层(170200 cm)。与苜蓿连作模式相比,苜蓿轮作(小麦、玉米、马铃薯、谷子)会降低TOC、ROC、HFOC含量,增加LFOC含量,其中TOC含量分别降低17.44%,9.25%,18.40%和9.34%;ROC含量分别降低28.10%,8.52%,29.75%和23.17%;HFOC含量分别降低18.80%,10.06%,20.53%和12.50%;LFOC分别增加7.41%,5.56%,22.22%和57.41%。可见,苜蓿种植多年耕翻轮作粮食作物后降低了土壤总有机碳水平,且对有机碳各组分的影响存在显著差异。     

Partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 sampled via an intranasal catheter as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO2 in dogs

Objective: To demonstrate correlation and clinical usefulness of the partial pressure of end‐tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) measurement by nasal catheter placement in sedated dogs with and without concurrent nasal oxygen administration as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO₂ (PaCO₂). Design: Prospective, cross‐over trial. Setting: University of Saskatchewan veterinary research laboratory. Animals: Six cross‐breed dogs with a mean (±SD) weight of 29.1±4.03 kg. Interventions: All dogs were sedated with 5 μg/kg medetomidine intravenously (IV) and an arterial catheter was placed in a dorsal pedal artery for removal of blood for gas analysis. A nasal catheter was placed in the ventral meatus and connected to a capnometer for ETCO₂ measurements in all dogs. Dogs receiving supplemental nasal oxygen had a second nasal catheter placed in the contralateral naris. Measurements and main results: In the group without nasal oxygen supplementation, the ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.20 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?5.79, 1.39 mmHg. In the group receiving oxygen supplementation, ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.46 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?8.42, 3.50 mmHg. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that ETCO₂ monitoring via a nasal catheter provides a clinically acceptable substitute to arterial blood gas analysis as a means of monitoring ventilation in healthy, sedated dogs. The limits of agreement were within acceptable limits with and without concurrent insufflation of oxygen.     

Breed differences in the proportional morbidity of testicular tumours and distribution of histopathologic types in a population-based canine cancer registry

Histologically verified tumours submitted to the Norwegian Canine Cancer Register from 1990 to 1998 were studied (n=14,401). The proportion of testicular tumours (n=345) was 2.4%, and the breakdown of histological tumour diagnoses is presented. The frequency of the most common histopathological types was 33% interstitial (Leydig), 26.4% Sertoli and 33.9% seminomas/germ cell tumours. The average age at diagnosis was 10 years, but was significantly lower for Sertoli cell tumours (8.6 years) than for the other tumour types. Following a histopathological re-evaluation, 22.5% of the original tumor diagnoses were modified. Proportional morbidity ratios were calculated and individuals from the breeds Shetland sheepdog and Collie were five times more likely to have testicular tumours than the overall average for the registry. Breed differences in the distribution of histopathologic types were observed. Shetland sheepdog and Collie were most commonly diagnosed with Sertoli cell tumours, while all tumours from Norwegian elkhound in this material were seminomas.

为了系统深入地对单板出材率和价值的影响因素进行研究,以11个6年生桉树无性系为材料,使用无损检测仪器Pilodyn和Fakopp测定立木的外部密度和应力波传输速度,用轴向生长应变仪器CIRAD-ForestMethod测定立木生长应力,结合对原木外观形质的检测和单板质量等级的划分,运用差异性分析、相关分析及多元逐步回归分析。结果表明,无性系间立木的材性性状,原木形质中的小头最小直径、弯曲度和端裂指数存在显著差异。节疤,尤其死节(孔洞)、裂缝是降低单板等级的主要因素。无性系间单板出材率和价值存在显著差异,其中出材率(%)从大到小排序为:GL₉(48.27),EC₃₄(47.17),LH₁(44.00),DH_32-22(42.00),GL₄(37.56),SH₇(34.88),UC_184-1(34.38),LH₅(31.06),M₁(29.74),DH_201-2(25.41),SG₁(16.28),最大是最小的2.97倍;单段原木价值(RMB/log)从高到低排序为:EC₃₄(13.37),GL₉(13.12),GL₄(12.36),LH₁(12.02),DH_32-22(11.55),LH₅(10.72),SH₇(9.22),UC_184-1(7.95),M₁(7.55),DH_201-2(5.97),SG₁(4.88),最高是最低的2.74倍;单位材积价值(RMB/m³)从高到低排序为:EC₃₄(856.49),LH₁(794.55),GL₉(788.68),DH_32-22(763.02),GL₄(681.44),SH₇(629.35),UC_184-1(597.66),LH₅(559.08),M₁(538.39),DH_201-2(450.49),SG₁(294.53),最高是最低的2.91倍。5个品种的无性系作为胶合板用材,尾巨桉无性系价值最高。原木弯曲度是影响单板出材率和价值的主要因素,木材密度、小头直径、应力波传输速度及端裂指数等对其也有显著影响。无损检测仪器Pilodyn和Fakopp可对单板出材率和单位材积价值进行粗略预测。     

放牧管理模式对高寒草甸生态系统有机碳、氮储量特征的影响

为探讨不同放牧管理模式高寒草甸生态系统有机碳、氮储量特征的变化,对青藏高原东缘禁牧(NG)、全生长季休牧(RG)、传统放牧(TG)和连续放牧(CG)4种放牧管理模式高寒草甸地上植被、地表凋落物、根系和土壤有机碳、氮储量进行测定和分析。结果表明,1)NG、RG和TG较CG显著提高了土壤、根系、植被和凋落物有机碳、氮储量。2)高寒草甸生态系统中,土壤有机碳储量所占比例最大(88.859%~98.242%),其次为根系(1.563%~8.742%),再次为植被(0.172%~1.430%),最小为凋落物(0.022%~0.969%);氮储量所占比例最大的是土壤(97.331%~99.633%),其次为根系(0.316%~2.071%),再次为植被(0.047%~0.442%),凋落物最小(0.003%~0.157%)。3)不同放牧管理模式土壤有机碳、氮储量具有明显的垂直分布特征,随土壤深度的增加土壤有机碳、氮储量明显降低。为期4年不同放牧模式仅对0~40 cm土层土壤有机碳、氮储量有影响。4)土壤有机碳、氮储量主要分布在0~40 cm土层,同时,放牧有使有机碳、氮向深层转移的趋势。5)NG、RG和TG显著提高了高寒草甸生态系统总有机碳、氮储量,而CG显著降低了总有机碳、氮储量,导致有机碳、氮的流失。禁牧和季节性休牧能有效增加青藏高原东缘高寒草甸生态系统有机碳、氮储量,实现碳、氮增汇的目的,是该区和类似区域草地放牧管理的重要模式。
