Multivariate relationships between epidemiologic risk factors and zoonotic infections among military personnel in the country of Georgia: A non‐linear canonical correlation analysis

Zoonotic diseases are endemic in the country of Georgia. Using the non‐linear canonical correlation (NCC) method, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between thirteen epidemiological risk factors and seropositivity to five zoonotic infections (anthrax, Q fever, tularemia, leptospirosis, and Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever [CCHF]) among Georgian military recruits during 2014–2016. According to this multivariate statistical technique, which is suitable for the analysis of two or more sets of qualitative variables simultaneously, two canonical variables were identified. These variables accounted for 68% of the variation between the two sets of categorical variables (“risk factors” and “zoonotic infections”). For the first canonical variable, there was a relationship among CCHF (canonical loading, which is interpreted in the same way as the Pearson's correlation coefficient, [cl] = 0.715), tick bites (cl = 0.418) and slaughter of animals (cl = 0.351). As for the second canonical variable, Q fever (cl = ?0.604) and leptospirosis (cl = ?0.486) were related to rodents inside and outside home (cl = ?0.346) and sweeping in or around home (cl = ?0.317). The NCC method allows researchers to obtain additional insights into the complex relationship between epidemiological risk factors and multiple zoonotic infections.

土壤施用喹硫磷防治桑瘿蚊试验

经三年防治桑瘿蚊农药筛选试验和家蚕残毒测定结果表明,5%喹硫磷粉剂是取代有机氯农药防治桑瘿蚊的有效土壤处理剂.得出:(1)5%喹硫磷粉剂对防治桑瘿蚊有良好的效果.1983年小区试验校正防效为95.7%,1984年和1985年大田试验为89.14—91.56%,与有机氯农药相似.(2)施用安全,采用施药区内桑叶养蚕均无急性中毒现象发生.(3)越冬代桑瘿蚊的生活力,休眠体最强,蛹最弱,在5月中旬对越冬代桑瘿蚊的蛹期施药效果最好.但是,喹硫磷对桑瘿蚊的各个发育阶段都有良好的毒杀作用.     

高分辨率熔解曲线分析法检测牦牛脂蛋白脂酶外显子7的多态性及与生长性状相关性分析

脂蛋白脂酶(lipoprotein lipase,LPL)是一个分子质量为54 kb的糖蛋白,其活性受营养因素、激素水平等调节,因牦牛生存环境的特殊性,试验拟从分子水平研究天峻县牦牛脂蛋白脂酶外显子7(LPL-Exon7)基因的多态性,并与生长发育性状进行关联分析,从而为牦牛营养调控、品种资源保护和遗传育种提供科学理论依据。试验采集青海省海西州天峻县牦牛抗凝血106份,提取血样DNA,并利用PCR技术和高分辨率熔解曲线分析法对候选基因LPL-Exon7进行多态性分析,并于采血的同时对牦牛体重、体斜长、体高、胸围和管围等生长性状指标进行了相关性和遗传效应分析。结果表明,高原牦牛LPL-Exon7基因在高原牦牛和野血牦牛中都表现为多态,存在3种基因型,即AA、AB和BB,由1对等位基因A和B控制,A等位基因均为优势等位基因。经χ²检验,符合哈迪—温伯格(Hardy-Weinberg)定律,处于平衡状态(P>0.05)。该位点在高原牦牛和野血牦牛群体中公、母牦牛的多态信息含量为0.3588和0.2103、0.3219和0.3343,高原牦牛母牛的多态信息含量PIC<0.25,处于低度多态,高原牦牛公牛和野血牦牛公、母牛的多态信息含量均在0.250.05)。因此,初步推断牦牛LPL-Exon7可以作为牦牛标记辅助选择的遗传标记之一。     

The Productive Performance and the Correlation Analysis Between Hatchability and Egg Quality in Jiangxi Green-eggshell Layers

The purpose of this study was to provide the reference to Jiangxi Green-eggshell breeding through the analysis of laying performance, hatchability and egg quality in the first generation of Jiangxi Green-eggshell layers at 300-days old. 306 Jiangxi Green-eggshell layers and 80 eggs were selected to determine the laying performance, hatchability and egg quality among families, and the correlation between the hatchability and egg quality were analyzed also. The results were as fellows:The average body weight of these hens was 1 596.99 g, the average egg weight was 50.57 g, the average egg-laying number was 14.53, the average fertility rate was 93.69%, the average dead fertile egg rate was 5.55%, the average healthy chick rate was 84.3%, the average dead embryo egg rate was 13.9%, the average egg shape index was 1.28, the average Haugh unit was 71.77, and the average eggshell strength was 4.44 kg/cm². The healthy chick rate and the egg weight had significant correlation,as well as the eggshell color and the egg shape index (P < 0.05). The healthy chick rate had extremely significantly correlation with the dead fertile egg rate(P < 0.01), as well as the eggshell strength and the eggshell thickness (P < 0.01). Generally, the first generation of Jiangxi Green-eggshell layers had good egg quality, higher laying performance and hatchability, but they still need to be further selected.

践踏和降水对环县典型草原土壤颗粒分维特征的影响

采用试验践踏与模拟降水控制试验,对16个不同试验组合样区表土(0~15 cm)质地的机械组成进行分析,结果表明,随着践踏强度增加,土壤颗粒表现出不同程度的粗化趋势,降水具有双向调节的作用。利用分形模型计算了土壤粒径分形维数,计算结果表明,分形维数指标与践踏强度呈负相关关系。但分形维数递减幅度与模拟降水处理水平相关,在模拟降水处理水平依次为干旱、自然降水、平水、丰水时,粒径分形维数递减幅度依次为4.33%,2.61%,1.34%和1.23%。降水与践踏的匹配关系,对形成确定的分形维数具有决定性作用。由于具有较高分形维数的土壤更易发生放牧侵蚀,若管理不善则会发展为荒漠化。因此,在此种意义上来说,土壤分形维数的测算对进一步研究放牧侵蚀机理和荒漠化形成过程可能具有推动作用。     

氮硅添加对高寒草甸生物量和多样性的影响——以青藏高原为例

草地施肥多集中于添加氮肥与磷肥,很少涉及硅肥。硅作为对植物有益的一种元素,能提高植物对环境的抗性,促进植物的生长。本研究以青藏高原高寒草甸为研究对象,通过添加不同组合的氮肥和硅肥,研究群落地上生物量和生物多样性的变化。结果表明,氮肥和硅肥的添加均能提高群落的地上生物量,然而硅肥提高群落地上生物量的幅度远低于氮肥;在添加氮肥导致群落物种多样性下降的同时,添加硅肥可以缓解群落多样性下降的趋势;硅肥的生物学功能在群落水平上存在着最佳浓度效应。同时,我们推测硅肥在维持群落中杂草的存活率上发挥着积极的作用,并通过比较不同硅肥处理时,杂草生物量所占群落生物量比重的变化,支持了上述推测。
