饲粮锌和钙水平对产蛋鸡生产性能、血液生化指标和组织中锌含量的影响

试验在玉米-豆饼型基础饲粮中(含锌29.2ppm)添加不同水平锌和钙研究了饲粮锌和钙水平对蛋用型鸡产蛋期生产性能、血液生化指标和组织中锌含量的影响。结果表明:1.仅喂未加锌的基础饲粮的试验鸡开产晚(P<0.05),产蛋率低(P<0.05)、蛋重小(P<0.05)、产蛋量少(P<0.01)、饲料利用效率差(P<0.01)、破壳率高(P<0.01)。饲粮加锌1000ppm与加锌40ppm对照相比,生产性能无显著差异。饲粮高钙对产蛋鸡生产性能无不良影响。2.血清碱性磷酸酶活性随饲粮加锌水平的提高而显著提高(P<0.01),但不受饲粮钙水平显著影响(P>0.05)。饲粮加锌1000ppm使血清总蛋白含量(P<0.01)、血清白蛋白和球蛋白含量(P<0.05)显著降低。饲粮高钙使血清总蛋白含量(P<0.01)和白蛋白含量(P<0.05)显著降低,而球蛋白含量不受影响(P>0.05)。3.随饲粮加锌水平的提高,肝脏(P<0.01)、胰脏(P<0.01)和胫骨(P<0.01)中锌含量大幅度升高;血液(P<0.01)、肾脏(P<0.01)和肺脏(P<0.05)中锌含量升高幅度较小;而输卵管(P>0.05)、心脏(P>0.05)和肌肉(P>0.05)中锌含量无显著变化。饲粮高钙使肝脏(P<0.05)和肌肉(P<0.01)中锌含量显著降低,对其它器官无显著影响(P>0.05)。     

钙镁磷肥对元胡种植区酸化土壤改良效果的探究

为了探究钙镁磷肥对元胡种植区土壤酸化的阻控作用,通过连续两年的钙镁磷肥田间定位试验,以上元观镇当地元胡种植户施肥习惯为对照(CK),研究分析了在氮、钾肥用量相同的情况下,施用钙、镁、磷肥750 kg/hm~2、1 500 kg/hm~2和2 250 kg/hm~2,对土壤pH、交换性酸、阳离子交换量(CEC)、交换性盐基离子以及土壤基本肥力水平的影响。通过测算投入、产出效益,结果表明：施用钙镁磷肥能显著提升土壤pH水平,较(CK)处理提升0.27～0.31个单位,T100、T150两个处理能显著降低土壤交换性酸总量和交换性氢含量,对降低交换性铝有一定作用。施用钙镁磷肥较(CK)处理能显著提升阳离子交换量(CEC)以及交换性钙和交换性镁,是阻控土壤酸化的主要作用机制。但当施用量达到2 250 kg/hm~2时,种植元胡的新增纯收益会有所下降,伴随产生土壤中磷素过量的问题,会有造成磷素流失产生农业面源污染的风险。因此在汉中元胡种植区土壤酸化改良中推荐钙镁磷肥施用量750～1 500 kg/hm~2。     

Alcohol diluent provides the optimal formulation for calcium chloride non-surgical sterilization in dogs

Background

Surgical castration is widely used to sterilize male dogs, but has significant impacts on time to perform the operation, recovery of the animals as well as cost, which can limit population control programs. Previous research has shown intratesticular injection of calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl₂) in saline to be a promising alternative to surgery. However, long-term azoospermia was not maintained at dosages low enough to avoid side effects. In the search for an optimized formulation, the current investigation is the first study on long-term sterilization effects of intratesticular injection of CaCl₂ in either lidocaine solution or alcohol in dogs. CaCl₂ at 20% concentration in lidocaine solution or alcohol was administered via intratesticular injection to groups of 21 dogs each. The treated animals were examined at 2, 6, and 12 months for sperm production, blood levels of testosterone, and side effects; at time zero and 12 months for testicular size and semen volume. The experimentally treated animals were compared to a control group receiving saline injection only.

Results

Testicles of dogs treated with CaCl₂ in either diluent significantly decreased in size. After administration of CaCl₂ in lidocaine solution, sterility was achieved for at least 12 months in 75% of treated dogs. However, optimal long-term contraceptive effectiveness was achieved with CaCl₂ in alcohol, which resulted in azoospermia over the 12-month study period. Testosterone levels significantly decreased following treatment with CaCl₂, and sexual activity disappeared. Although testosterone returned to baseline levels by 12 months for the group treated with CaCl₂ in lidocaine, dogs injected with CaCl₂ in alcohol had a 63.6% drop in testosterone level, which remained at the low end of physiological range throughout the study. No adverse effects were noted.

Conclusions

A single, bilateral intratesticular injection of 20% CaCl₂ in 95% ethanol was a reliable method for induction of sterilization in 18–28 kg male dogs in this study. The approach showed long-term efficacy and reduced sexual behavior. This chemical method of sterilization might provide an effective, efficient alternative to surgical castration that can have positive impacts on dog welfare.     

Advanced glycation end products change spontaneous calcium spark morphology in cardiomyocytes

AIM:To investigate the effect of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on the activity of rynodine receptor (RyR) and calcium regulation in cardiomyocytes, in order to clarify the underlying mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy. METHODS:The frequency and morphology of spontaneous calcium sparks were observed in cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes by the imaging technique of laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS:Compared with control group, AGEs increased the frequency of calcium sparks, where 10 mg/L of AGEs increased by 48% (P<0.01), 50 mg/L of AGEs increased by 200% (P<0.01) and 150 mg/L of AGEs increased by 110% (P<0.01). AGEs alter the morphology of spontaneous calcium sparks. AGEs decreased the amplitude and width of calcium sparks, and calcium spark duration. AGEs increased the level of cardiomyocyte resting Ca2+. CONCLUSION: AGEs increases the frequency of spontaneous calcium sparks, thereby enhancing calcium spark-mediated leaking of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+, which may be the cause of diabetic cardiomyopathy systolic dysfunction.     

Ca^2＋和抗坏血酸对水分胁迫下杉木无性系生理特性的影响

为研究水分胁迫对杉木造成的伤害及外源物质对杉木抗旱性能的影响,采用人工模拟干旱胁迫下添加外源Ca^2＋和AsA的方法,研究渗透胁迫下不同浓度Ca^2＋和AsA对杉木幼苗质膜透性、MDA含量、可溶性糖含量和可溶性蛋白含量的影响。结果表明：水分胁迫严重影响叶片质膜系统的稳定和渗透调节物质的含量,造成杉木叶片质膜透性和MDA含量上升,可溶性糖含量先上升后下降,可溶性蛋白含量先上升再下降后又上升,均与对照达到极显著差异（P＜0.01）;适宜浓度的外源Ca^2＋和AsA可保护质膜系统,抑制质膜透性增加,降低电导率和MDA含量,提高可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量,提高杉木幼苗的抗逆境能力,有效增强杉木的抗旱性。

固始鸡孵化期间蛋壳内钙鳞含量变化规律研究

对固始鸡种蛋孵化期间蛋壳中钙、磷含量进行了测定,结果表明:孵化期间蛋壳内钙、磷含量变化呈现不同规律。0～6胚龄,蛋壳中钙、磷变化均不明显;从12胚龄开始,钙含量突然降低,并以递增趋势持续至21胚龄;磷含量明显变化是从9胚龄开始,12胚龄达最大,随后逐渐降低,18～21胚龄保持不变,所以6～18胚龄是蛋壳中磷的主要转移期;同时,各胚龄阶段蛋壳中钙、磷比例也呈规律性变化。

2种钙肥对菜心生长及品质的影响

采用73.0 mg/L的果蔬钙肥及1.25 g/L、2.5 g/L和3.75 g/L 3种浓度的氯化钙溶液对菜心进行叶面喷施,研究不同钙肥处理对菜心生长及品质的影响。试验结果表明,不同的钙肥处理均可促进菜心的生长发育,提高叶绿素含量、增加菜心的产量、改善菜心品质,但存在差异,73.0 mg/L的果蔬钙肥处理效果最好,低浓度氯化钙处理对菜心产量和品质影响很小,中浓度氯化钙处理影响比较大,高浓度氯化钙处理比中浓度处理效果差。在不同的生长发育期,作用效应有所不同,在菜心生长的初期各钙肥处理影响不大,生长中后期影响比较大。
