建立了一种能特异性地扩增猪圆环病毒 型 (porcine circovirus type 2 ,PCV- 2 )核酸片段的 PCR方法 ,从疑似断奶猪多系统衰竭综合征 (PMWS)的感染病例的淋巴结和脾脏中扩增出了预期长度的 PCV- 2 DNA片段 ,用限制性内切酶 Eco R 酶切鉴定了 PCR产物的特异性。 PCR产物的核苷酸序列分析表明 ,与已报道的 PCV- 2 (Gen Bank Ac-cession num ber AF0 2 72 17)相关区域的核苷酸序列同源性均大于 96 %。首次证实了我国猪群中存在 PCV- 2感染的PMWS。     

胆酸负荷对妊娠后期绵羊母体和胎儿血浆IGF—2及其代谢物水平的影响

以绵羊及其胎儿为试验对象，研究了胆酸负荷对妊娠后期母体和胎儿血浆胰岛素样生长因子－2(in-sulin-like growth factor-2,IGF-2）及其代谢物水平的影响。将7只确知妊娠时间的绵羊分为试验组5只和对照组2只，试验前装置颈静脉瘘，在妊娠90h和104d2闪给试验组静脉灌注胆酸盐1．1mg/kg，给对照组静脉灌注等量生理盐水，妊娠120d时手术安装胎儿后肢胫前动脉血管瘘。每天采胎儿和母体的血样，分离血浆，测定血浆IGF－2和主要代谢物水平。同时测定胎儿出生时生长发育指标。结果表明：（1）试验组母羊IGF－2水平低于对照组，相反其胎儿IGF－2水平却高于对照组（P＜0．05）；（2）试验组母羊的总蛋白和乳酸水平分别比对照组35．64％；（3）试验组胎儿出生重比对照组小29．00％，胎龄短7．50d。因此认为，胆酸重复灌注可引起妊娠绵羊早产和胎儿出生重降低，而这可能与IGF－2和主要代谢物水平变化有关。     

Detection of γ-H2AX,a Biomarker for DNA Double-strand Breaks,in Urinary Bladders of N -Butyl- N -(4-Hydroxybutyl)-Nitrosamine-Treated Rats

To evaluate the potential role of DNA repair in bladder carcinogenesis, we performed an immunohistochemical analysis of expression of various DNA repair enzymes and γ-H2AX, a high-sensitivity marker of DNA double-strand breaks, in the urothelium of male F344 rats treated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine (BBN), a bladder-specific carcinogen. Our results clearly demonstrated that γ-H2AX aggregation was specifically generated in nuclei of bladder epithelial cells of BBN-treated rats, which was not found in untreated controls or mesenchymal cells. γ-H2AX-positive cells were detected not only in hyperplastic and neoplastic areas but also in the normal-like urothelium after BBN treatment. These data indicate that γ-H2AX has potential as a useful biomarker for early detection of genotoxicity in the rat urinary bladder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating expression of γ-H2AX during bladder carcinogenesis.     

不同果桑品种在干旱胁迫下的光合生理变化

以一串红、大10、红果2号3个果桑品种的3年生嫁接苗为材料,采用盆栽控水试验方法,分别在适宜水分、中度干旱胁迫、重度干旱胁迫及复水(土壤水分分别为田间最大持水量的70%～75%、45%～50%、25%～30%、75%～80%)条件下测试分析3个果桑品种的光合作用、光响应和CO2响应特征,评价果桑品种的抗旱能力。结果表明:干旱胁迫显著降低3个果桑品种的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率、瞬时光能利用效率和瞬时羧化效率,增加了胞间CO2浓度;3个果桑品种在不同土壤水分条件下对光强度和CO2浓度的响应曲线变化趋势基本一致,即在干旱胁迫下,3个果桑品种的最大净光合速率、表观量子效率、暗呼吸速率、瞬时羧化效率、光呼吸速率等均较适宜水分下降,复水处理后,各项响应值均有所回升。根据3个果桑品种在中度、重度干旱胁迫及复水条件下上述各项指标的变幅,比较品种的抗旱能力为:红果2号>大10>一串红。红果2号可在干旱缺水、光照较强的地区栽植。     

Associations among albuminuria, C-reactive protein concentrations, survival predictor index scores, and survival in 78 critically ill dogs

Background: Microalbuminuria and C‐reactive protein (CRP) are predictors of morbidity and survival in critically ill human patients. Hypothesis/Objectives: To evaluate results of microalbuminuria assays (untimed single‐sample urine albumin concentration [U‐ALB] and the urine albumin : creatinine ratio [UACR]), serum CRP, and survival predictor index (SPI2) scores as predictors of survival in critically ill dogs. Animals: Seventy‐eight dogs admitted to intensive care units at University of Tennessee (UT) and Colorado State University (CSU). Methods: Prospective observational study. Critically ill dogs were eligible for enrollment, unless euthanized because of financial constraints. Samples were collected within 3 hours of admission. Spearman's rank‐correlation coefficients were determined for U‐ALB, UACR, CRP, and SPI2. U‐ALB, UACR, CRP, and SPI2 were assessed for associations with 7‐ and 30‐day survival by Mann‐Whitney U‐tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. P‐values < .0125 were considered significant. Results: UT (n = 49) and CSU (n = 29) patients did not differ significantly. Forty percent (31/78) of dogs died. SPI2 was inversely correlated with U‐ALB (r_s=?0.39, P < .001) and UACR (r_s=?0.41, P < .001). CRP was not correlated with SPI2 (P= .019), U‐ALB (P > .1), or UACR (P > .1). U‐ALB and UACR had very high correlation (r_s= 0.95, P < .001). SPI2, U‐ALB, and UACR differed significantly for survivors and nonsurvivors. SPI2, U‐ALB, and UACR had areas under the ROC curve (AUC) from 0.68 to 0.74 for survival prediction. Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Albuminuria and SPI2, but not CRP, are associated with survival in critically ill dogs. Suboptimal AUCs limit the value of microalbuminuria testing for clinical risk assessment. Additional studies are necessary to determine the usefulness of microalbuminuria testing in patient risk stratification for prospective research.
