Molecular evidence for cosmopolitan distribution of platyhelminth parasites of tunas (Thunnus spp.)

Global distribution of platyhelminth parasites and their host specificities are not well known. Our hypothesis was that platyhelminth parasites of large pelagic fishes are common around the world. We analysed molecular variation in three different taxa of platyhelminth parasites infecting four species of tunas: yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares, Scombridae) from Western Australia, southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii, Scombridae) from South Australia, Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis, Scombridae) from Pacific Mexico and northern bluefin tuna (T. thynnus, Scombridae) from two localities in the Mediterranean (Spain and Croatia). Comparisons of ITS2 and partial 28S rDNA demonstrated two congeneric species of blood flukes (Digenea: Sanguinicolidae) from multiple hosts and localities: Cardicola forsteri from southern bluefin and northern bluefin tunas, and Cardicola sp. from Pacific bluefin and northern bluefin tunas; and a gill fluke, Hexostoma thynni (Polyopisthocotylea: Hexostomatidae), from yellowfin, southern bluefin and northern bluefin tunas. Partial 28S rDNA indicates that a second type of fluke on the gills, Capsala sp. (Monopisthocotylea: Capsalidae), occurs on both southern bluefin and Pacific bluefin tunas. This appears to be the first report of conspecific platyhelminth parasites of teleosts with a wide‐ranging geographical distribution that has been confirmed through molecular approaches. Given the brevity of the free‐living larval stage of both taxa of flukes on the gills (H. thynni and Capsala sp.), we conclude that the only feasible hypothesis for the cosmopolitan distribution of these flatworms is migrations of host tunas. Host migration also seems likely to be responsible for the widespread occurrence of the two species of blood flukes (Cardicola spp.), although it is also possible that these were translocated recently by the spread of infected intermediate hosts.

臭氧化降解除草剂2,4-D的机理研究(Ⅱ):降解路径

为了考察除草剂2,4-D在臭氧化反应过程中的降解机理,在前文分析中间产物的基础上,进一步跟踪反应溶液中几个主要中间产物和氯离子的浓度变化趋势,由此提出可能的降解路径。结果说明,2,4-D臭氧化降解过程主要是羟基自由基的间接氧化起作用,臭氧分子的直接氧化所占比重很小。对前文分析出的主要中间产物进行分类,并通过判断反应溶液中中间产物和氯离子浓度随反应时间变化的趋势,可知2,4-D在羟基自由基作用下,主要先产生了2,4-二氯苯酚等含氯的酚类,再经过脱氯,形成无氯的芳香族化合物。苯环结构开裂后,形成了大部分有机酸,另一小部分有机酸在2,4-D初步降解为含氯芳香族化合物时即可产生。脱氯过程有一个初始较慢后来较快的趋势,这说明2,4-D直接脱氯较少,大部分脱氯过程发生在形成2,4-DCP等含氯芳香族中间产物后,此时,脱氯产生无氯的芳香族中间产物。在最后的深度氧化阶段,经过一系列中间产物反应之后,部分2,4-D能降解为水、二氧化碳等终产物。     

2,4-表油菜素内酯和生长素促进大麦胚芽鞘伸长生长的协同作用

以大麦胚芽鞘为材料,研究了生长素吲哚乙酸(indole-3-acetic ac id,IAA)和2,4表油菜素内酯(2,4-ep ibras-sinolide,ep iBR)对胚芽鞘伸长的影响。结果表明:200μmol.L-1IAA和1μmol.L-1ep iBR在黑暗条件下均促进大麦胚芽鞘的伸长生长,而且在该过程中二者存在协同作用,但必须是在IAA之前施用ep iBR或两者共同处理时才能表现;100 mg.L-12,3,5三碘苯甲酸(2,3,5-triiodobenzoic ac id,TIBA)能抑制ep iBR诱导的胚芽鞘伸长生长,暗示IAA的极性运输是ep iBR促进大麦胚芽鞘伸长生长所必需的;内源激素分析表明,ep iBR处理后胚芽鞘内源IAA含量上升,暗示ep iBR对大麦胚芽鞘伸长的促进作用在一定程度上通过调控内源IAA的水平起作用。     

Therapeutic Potential of Phlorotannin-Rich Ecklonia cava Extract on Methylglyoxal-Induced Diabetic Nephropathy in In Vitro Model

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) play a vital role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Methylglyoxal (MGO), one of the major precursors of AGEs, is a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of phlorotannin-rich Ecklonia cava extract (ECE) on MGO-induced diabetic nephropathy in in vitro models using mouse glomerular mesangial cells. ECE showed anti-glycation activity via breaking of AGEs-collagen cross-links and inhibition of AGEs formation and AGE-collagen cross-linking formation. The renoprotective effects were determined by assessing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MGO accumulation, cell apoptosis, and the Nrf-2/ARE signaling pathway. MGO-induced renal damage, intracellular ROS production level, and MGO-protein adduct accumulation were significantly decreased by pretreating ECE. Moreover, ECE pretreatment exhibited preventive properties against MGO-induced dicarbonyl stress via activation of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway and reduction of RAGE protein expression in mouse glomerular mesangial cells. Collectively, these results indicated potential anti-glycation properties and prominent preventive effects of ECE against MGO-induced renal damage. Additionally, ECE may be utilized for the management of AGE-related diabetic nephropathy.     

栀子苷的降糖作用和对PPARγ受体的激活

葡萄糖消耗试验表明,栀子苷能显著促进前脂肪细胞对葡萄糖的吸收。小鼠荷糖试验和四氧嘧啶致糖尿病小鼠血糖试验证实,栀子苷具有剂量依赖性降低小鼠餐后血糖及糖尿病高血糖的作用。通过基于PPARγ受体信号通路的报告基因诱导表达试验,发现栀子苷在体内外的降糖功效,可能与过氧化物酶增殖体激活受体γ的激活有关。

基于Openpose改进的苹果生长方向检测

【目的】苹果采摘机器人在果园作业过程中,不仅需要精准地确定果实的位置,还需要对苹果的生长方向进行精准检测,这样才能够实现机械爪规划出仿人式采摘的抓取方式,实现果实的高效采摘。【方法】文章提出了一种基于改进Openpose的方法,实现了对自然生长状态下果实生长方向的精准检测。改进方案主要从两个方面进行,首选是通过ShuffleNet V2和CA注意力机制相融合的方式替换原VGG19结构,降低主干的参数量,然后是结合单个苹果关键点的特征对该模型进行了去除部分PAF分支的优化改进策略。【结果】改进后的Openpose在各个指标上,全面超过了原Openpose,其运行速度是改进前的6.56倍,对于mAP、m AP-s、mAP-b、AP50和AP75这些参数,分别增长9.18%、8.50%、11.56%、1.67%和6.35%,并且在各项指标上超越了AlphaPose和CFA算法。【结论】经过对Openpose模型改进前后的对比和现有算法对比,证明了该文算法在自然场景下对果实生长方向检测的优越性和鲁棒性。
