猪血清中天然LFA－3存在的探讨

测定了正常猪血清对ＳＲＢＣ的溶血作用。并根据猪血清对ＳＲＢＣ的破坏作用经ＳＲＢＣ吸收和加入ＳＲＢＣＬＦＡ－３后即显著降低或消失，提出了猪血清破坏ＲＢＣ的作用与血清中游离ＣＤ＿２的存在有关的论断。此外，又根据反复解离和经ＳＲＢＣ吸收后的猪血清具有阻止正常猪血清对ＳＲＢＣ的破坏作用和猪ＰＢＭＣＥ玫瑰花环的形成，认为猪血清中可能存在天然的ＬＦＡ－３，进而对血清游离ＣＤ＿２在淋巴细胞激活中的功能提出了“游离ＣＤ＿２调控途径”的设想。     

中国-巴基斯坦喀喇昆仑公路沿线野生动物区系研究

中国-巴基斯坦喀喇昆仑公路（以下简称＂中巴公路＂）是中国政府于20世纪60年代中期援建的一条连接中国西部城市喀什和巴基斯坦北部城市塔科特的国际公路。2009年4月、7月、9月和2010年6～7月对中巴公路沿线分布的动物进行了考察,经全面系统分类、整理和统计,该地区共有陆栖野生动物22目51科105属147种,其中爬行类1目3科5属8种,鸟类14目34科72属103种,哺乳类/兽类7目14科28属36种。从野生动物分布的种类数量上看,分布最少的是爬行类（8种）,而较多的是鸟类（103种）和哺乳类/兽类（36种）,分别占该地区分布野生脊椎动物种数的5.44%、70.07%和24.49%。野生动物区系以北方广布种、高地型、古北型和中亚型为主,全北型、东洋型和喜马拉雅-横断山型渗透混杂,表明古北界温带陆栖动物地理属性是该地区动物区系的基本特征之所在。     

超高效液相色谱-串联质谱法检测动物肌肉组织中19种β-受体激动剂残留

建立了猪、牛和羊肌肉组织中吡布特罗、西马特罗、特步他林、齐帕特罗、沙丁胺醇、西布特罗、克伦塞罗、克伦丙罗、羟甲基克伦特罗、氯丙那林、莱克多巴胺、克伦特罗、妥布特罗、福莫特罗、溴布特罗、克伦潘特、班布特罗、马布特罗和马喷特罗等19种β-受体激动剂残留检测的超高效液相色谱-串联质谱方法.猪、牛和羊肌肉组织样品用乙腈和异丙醇（8：2,V/V）提取,加入NaC1、Na2SO4和MgSO4盐析去杂质.待测药物经BEH C18色谱柱分离,以0.1％甲酸乙腈溶液和0.1％甲酸水溶液为流动相进行梯度洗脱.同位素内标法和基质匹配标准溶液外标法定量.19种β-受体激动剂在系列浓度范围内呈现良好线性关系,相关系数r2均大于0.99;19种药物在肌肉组织中的检测限为0.25 μg/kg,定量限为0.5μg/kg.从0.5、1和5μg/kg三个添加浓度检测结果可以看出,19种药物的回收率为73.7％ ～ 114.1％,批内批间相对标准偏差均小于20％.结果表明,该方法简便快捷、灵敏度高、定性准确,适用于该类药物残留的检测.

Effects of Ω-3 (n-3) Fatty Acid Supplementation on Insulin Sensitivity in Horses

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of dietary ω-3 fatty acid supplementation on insulin sensitivity (SI) in horses. Twenty-one mares were blocked by age, body weight (BW), and body condition score (BCS) and randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments. Treatments consisted of (1) 38 g of n-3 fatty acids via fish and algae supplement and diet (MARINE), (2) 38 g of n-3 fatty acids via a flaxseed meal from the supplement and diet (FLAX), and (3) control (CON) no supplemental fatty acid. Treatments were supplemented for 90 days. Frequent sampling intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed on days 0, 30, 60, and 90. Blood samples were analyzed for glucose and insulin. The minimal model was applied for the glucose and insulin curves using MinMod Millennium. SI increased 39% (P < .007) across all treatment groups. Acute insulin response to glucose decreased 22% (P < .006) between days 30 and 60 and increased (P = .040) again at day 90. Disposition index (combined SI and β pancreatic response) increased (P = .03) by 53% in the MARINE- and 48% in the FLAX-supplemented horses and did not change with time in the CON group. In insulin-resistant mares, MARINE- and FLAX-treated horses had an increase in SI (P = .09). It would be interesting to test this supplement in a larger group of insulin-resistant horses. If proven effective, supplementation with ω-3 fatty acids would help to reduce problems associated with insulin resistance in horses.     

Increased humoral antibody response of foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine in growing pigs pre-treated with poly-γ-glutamic acid

This study was conducted to determine if humoral antibody response of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine improved in 8-week-old growing pigs born to well-vaccinated sows pre-treated with 60 mg of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) three days before vaccination. Antibody against FMD virus serotype O was measured 0, 2, 4 and 6 weeks post-vaccination, using a PrioCHECK FMDV type O ELISA kit. The results showed that positive antibody reactions against FMDV serotype O antigen among a component of the vaccine significantly increased in response to pre-injection with γ-PGA.     

骨骼肌卫星细胞自我更新的研究进展

骨骼肌卫星细胞（skeletal satellite cells）是一类位于骨骼肌纤维细胞膜与基底膜之间的成体干细胞,在骨骼肌损伤修复过程中起着重要的作用。随着研究的不断深入,人们对骨骼肌卫星细胞的功能及其作用机制了解也越来越多,但目前仍存在着许多未解之谜。骨骼肌卫星细胞是如何进行自我更新调控的,研究者们提出了骨骼肌卫星细胞进行自我更新的模式假说及其可能的信号转导通路,作者对其最新研究进展作一概述。
