在韩国片断化林区内道路对小型啮齿类种群的影响

The road effect on small rodent population is investigated at 8 fragmented forest areas in the Baekdudaegan moun-tain range, South Korea in September 2001, We especially focused on the distribution and body condition of small rodents near the roads, Korean field mouse (Apodemus peninsulae) seems to be more sensitive to the existence of a road than striped field mouse (Apodemus agradus), Korean field mouse prefers interior forest area to around road. Striped field mouse is a habitat generalist and has wide distributional range around road, but Korean field mouse is forest-inhabiting species and their distribu-tion is limited in forest area. These results suggest the effect of road is different on each small rodent species and their habitat preferences.     

Evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner as an alternative control of small hive beetles, Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)

Small hive beetles, Aethina tumida Murray, are parasites and scavengers of honeybee colonies, Apis mellifera L., and have become an invasive species that can cause considerable damage in its new distribution areas. An effective subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (=Bt) would provide an alternative to chemical control of this pest. Therefore, we tested three different Bt strains [B. thuringiensis, var. aizawai (B401^®), B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Novodor^®) and B. thuringiensis var. San Diego tenebrionis (Jackpot^®)] and Perizin^® (3.2% coumaphos), each applied on combs with a pollen diet fed to pairs of adult beetles. This evaluates the products for the suppression of successful small hive beetle reproduction. While none of the tested Bt strains showed a significant effect on the number of produced wandering larvae, we could confirm the efficacy of coumaphos for the control of small hive beetles. We further show that it is also efficient when applied with a lower concentration as a liquid on the combs. We suggest the continued search for efficient Bt strains naturally infesting small hive beetles in its endemic and new ranges, which may become a part of the integrated management of this pest.

小农户参与现代农业发展:现实特征、实现基础与机制构建

基于“大国小农”的国情,促进小农户和现代农业有效衔接是推动中国农业现代化发展进程以及实现乡村振兴战略的主要着力点。虽然当前小农户参与现代农业发展存在老龄化、女性化和兼业化“三化”并重的锁定效应、耕地禀赋的刚性效应以及市场准入的壁垒效应,但重新审视小农户的生命活力与现代农业发展的包容性可以发现,小农户和现代农业之间存在相容性关系。进一步提出,实现小农户和现代农业衔接的关键在于建立新型农业服务主体激励相容机制、社会网和利益网“双重”网络机制以及小农户自我发展能力提升机制。     

中链脂肪酸抗菌和诱导防御肽表达的功能及其在仔猪饲料中的应用

近年,越来越多的研究表明,中链脂肪酸（MCFAs）抵抗病原菌是哺乳动物先天防御系统的重要组成部分,而且MCFAs也能够诱导人、猪和鸡内源性防御肽的表达,MCFAs的这些新功能尚未引起重视。MCFAs还和饲用有机酸或饲用植物精油具有协同抗菌增效作用,可以减少这些活性物质的使用量。相比于长链脂肪酸,日粮中添加MCFAs能显著地提高动物机体内氧气消耗量和线粒体呼吸速率,但产生活性氧自由基少,特别适合幼龄动物肠代谢和肝代谢所需的快速能量供应特点。日粮添加低浓度MCFAs（0.1%—0.5%,质量比）能显著提高新生或断奶仔猪存活率、粗蛋白粗脂肪消化率、饲料转化率,调节肠道菌群和改善肠上皮结构,进而促进生长。基于MCFAs的上述功能,将MCFAs与饲用有机酸或植物精油复配制备成微囊颗粒,可能是其用于仔猪抗生素替代品的尚佳方式。     

蜡样芽孢杆菌致吐毒素的毒性作用与生物合成研究进展

蜡样芽孢杆菌是一类兼性厌氧的革兰氏阳性杆菌,可以产生芽孢抵抗不良环境,并广泛存在于土壤、水、空气和多种食物中。致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌是常见的食源性条件致病菌之一,其引发的食物中毒主要是由其产生的毒素导致的。致吐毒素cereulide是致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌产生的重要毒素之一,是一种小分子亲脂性十二环肽,结构性质十分稳定。Cereulide能够引起恶心、呕吐等轻微的食物中毒症状,也可导致如肝性脑病、急性肝脏衰竭等严重致死的疾病。当前对于cereulide的毒性作用机制研究局限于其刺激传入迷走神经引起呕吐症状,以及作为钾离子载体,诱导线粒体膜电位丧失,并最终导致细胞死亡,而对于其导致的严重肝脏和脑部病变的毒性作用机制研究仍十分不足。Cereulide是由cereulide合成酶基因簇(ces)编码,非核糖体肽合成酶(nonribosomal peptide-synthetase, NRPS)系统控制合成的。Cereulide由两个羟基酸和两个氨基酸残基[-D-HIC-D-Ala-L-HIV-L-Val-]经3次迭代组成三聚体缩酚酞,其结构特殊并有很强的代表性,但因NRPS合成系统的灵活性会产生许多变体,因此cereulide的毒性与其生物合成过程息息相关。文章在现有文献报道和研究数据的基础上,总结并提出了cereulide的生物合成机理：首先,cereulide合成基因簇的CesA和CesB结构域分别识别D-α-酮羧酸、L-丙氨酸、L-α-酮异戊酸和L-缬氨酸,通过共价结合形成cereulide的主要合成单元二肽;其次,依照上述过程重复合成四肽;再通过重复反应合成第二个四肽,两个四肽通过酯化形成八肽;再次重复上述反应,形成三元络合的产物肽;最后,由于ces-NRPS的硫酯酶结构域活性中心表面结构阻止外部水分子进入,并诱导内部亲核攻击反应,最终释放出环状cereulide。目前,由产cereulide的蜡样芽孢杆菌引起的食物中毒风险被低估。并且,本团队前期研究发现部分芽孢杆菌微生态制剂中混有产cereulide的蜡样芽孢杆菌菌株。因此,产cereulide蜡样芽孢杆菌的存在对食品安全和公共健康均构成了潜在风险。文章综述了cereulide的毒性作用及机制,为进一步研发cereulide防控措施提供科学依据;总结并提出了cereulide的生物合成机理,强调了催化酮酸形成酯的酮还原酶域(KR),及形成重复单元和环肽的硫酯酶域(TE)在其合成中的重要作用,为阐明类似结构的非核糖体肽合成提供新的思路。     

Establishment of a Conditional Transgenic System Using the 2A Peptide in the Female Mouse Germline

Transgenic mice are essential research tools in developmental biology studies. The 2A peptide allows multiple genes to be expressed simultaneously at comparable levels in somatic cells, but there are no reports of it being used successfully in germ cells. We constructed a Cre/loxP-based conditional vector containing the 2A peptide to significantly enhance the expression of a reporter and target gene from a constitutive promoter in oocytes. Mice with a transgene insertion containing the chicken β-actin promoter, floxed EGFP-polyA cassette, mCherry reporter, 2A peptide and target gene DNA methyltransferase 3A2 (Dnmt3a2) were crossed with TNAP- or Vasa-Cre mice to produce offspring, in which mCherry and DNMT3A2 proteins were highly expressed in oocytes upon Cre-mediated removal of EGFP-polyA. This novel transgenic mouse line based on the 2A expression system can serve as a useful tool for examining gene function during oogenesis.     

PRRSV特异性肽对CSF、PRRS免疫猪IFN-Y、IL-10分泌的影晌

应用PRRSV-GP5特异性肽刺激CSF、PRRS免疫猪外周血淋巴细胞,采用EI。IsA方法测定不同时间点淋巴细胞分泌IFN-7及IL-10的水平,分析PRRSv_GP5特异性肽刺激后,淋巴细胞培养上清中细胞因子的变化规律。结果显示,CSFV高抗PRRSV低抗体组于PRRSV免疫14d,肽刺激组中IFN-7水平显著高于对照组（P〈0．05）;其他组均差异不显著（P〉0．05）。PRRSV免疫14d,细胞培养24,72h后加PRRSV—GP5肽刺激,各组中试验组与对照组相比IL-10水平明显降低（P〈0．01）;PRRSV免疫28d,各组中肽刺激组与空白组相比,IL-10水平均无显著性差异（P〉0．05）。结果表明,PRRSV-GP5肽在PRRSV免疫早期可以促进IFN-7的分泌,并抑制IL-10的产生,但在免疫后期对淋巴细胞分泌的调节作用还需进-步研究。     

Natriuretic peptide inhibition of intestinal salt absorption in the Japanese eel: physiological significance

Electrophysiological studies in vitro demonstrated the significant inhibition by natriuretic peptides (NP) of short-circuit current across the eel intestine, an important osmoregulatory organ. Inhibitory potencies of several members of the NP family were assessed by voltage-clamp determination of net transepithelial salt absorption measured as the short-circuit current I_sc across the intestine of the freshwater-adapted (FW) and seawater-adapted (SW) Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica); the order of potency of synthetic eel peptides was: amidated atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP-NH₂) > ventricular natriuretic peptide (VNP) > atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) >> C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). Neither the order of potency nor the absolute potencies were effected by salinity adaptation. The observed potency sequence suggests that inhibition of intestinal absorption is mediated by A-type guanylyl cyclase-coupled NP receptors. The relatively low sensitivity of the intestinal response to NP compared with circulating NP concentrations suggests a role for intestinal regulation by NP which is independent of systemic delivery from cardiac sources. A novel model, incorporating the known immunohistochemical localization of NP-ergic cells and processes in the epithelial layer of the intestine and the dissipation of the Na⁺ electrochemical gradient along the alimentary tract, is developed in which local secretion of NP (in response to a bolus of food) inhibits salt absorption across the intestine regionally in favor of increased nutrient absorption.
