从辽宁和黑龙江2个水貂养殖场死亡水貂肺中分离出13株铜绿假单胞菌,血清型鉴定分别为C型和D型,命名为PK13-C和H2F-D。为了解其作为疫苗株的免疫效果,测定了其运动能力、绿脓菌素生成能力、生长曲线、毒力、免疫原性及耐药性。结果表明,PK13-C对小鼠和水貂的毒力分别为7.5×106CFU和7×105CFU,泳动能力及群集运动能力较强,抽动能力较弱,生物被膜形成能力中等;H2F-D对小鼠和水貂的毒力分别为2.05×107CFU和2.2×106CFU,泳动能力较弱,但群集运动及抽动能力较强,生物被膜形成能力较弱。二者对本血清型菌株的免疫保护率均为100%,对异种血清型菌株的保护率为80%~90%。2个株菌均可产生绿脓菌素。生长曲线显示2个菌株于4h进入对数生长期,于18h左右进入平稳期。药敏试验结果表明,2个株菌对氯霉素、复方新诺明、氨苄西林/舒巴坦耐药。     

N‐Acetyl‐d‐galactosamine prevents soya bean agglutinin‐induced intestinal barrier dysfunction in intestinal porcine epithelial cells

Soya bean agglutinin (SBA) is a glycoprotein and the main anti‐nutritional component in most soya bean feedstuffs. It is mainly a non‐fibre carbohydrate‐based protein and represents about 10% of soya bean‐based anti‐nutritional effects. In this study, we sought to determine the effects of N‐Acetyl‐D‐galactosamine (GalNAc or D‐GalNAc) on the damage induced by SBA on the membrane permeability and tight junction proteins of piglet intestinal epithelium (IPEC‐J2) cells. The IPEC‐J2 cells were pre‐cultured with 0, 0.125 × 10^?4, 0.25 × 10^?4, 0.5 × 10^?4, 1.0 × 10^?4 and 2.0 × 10^?4 mmol/L GalNAc at different time period (1, 2, 4 and 8 hr) before being exposed to 0.5 mg/ml SBA for 24 hr. The results indicate that pre‐incubation with GalNAc mitigates the mechanical barrier injury as reflected by a significant increase in trans‐epithelial electric resistance (TEER) value and a decrease in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in cell culture medium pre‐treated with GalNAc before incubation with SBA as both indicate a reduction in cellular membrane permeability. In addition, mRNA levels of the tight junction proteins occludin and claudin‐3 were lower in the SBA‐treated groups without pre‐treatment with GalNAc. The mRNA expression of occludin was reduced by 17.3% and claudin‐3 by 42% (p < 0.01). Moreover, the corresponding protein expression levels were lowered by 17.8% and 43.5% (p < 0.05) respectively. However, in the GalNAc pre‐treated groups, occludin and claudin‐3 mRNAs were reduced by 1.6% (p > 0.05) and 2.7% (p < 0.01), respectively, while the corresponding proteins were reduced by 4.3% and 7.2% (p < 0.05). In conclusion, GalNAc may prevent the effect of SBA on membrane permeability and tight junction proteins on IPEC‐J2s.     

Comparative proteomic analysis of high‐ and low‐fertile buffalo bull spermatozoa for identification of fertility‐associated proteins

The present study identified few potential proteins in the spermatozoa of buffalo bulls that can be used as an aid in fertility determination through comparative proteomics. The sperm proteome of high‐fertile buffalo bulls was compared with that of low‐fertile buffalo bulls using two‐dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D‐DIGE), and the differentially expressed proteins were identified through mass spectrometric method. The protein interaction network and the functional bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed proteins were also carried out. In the spermatozoa of high‐fertile bulls, 10 proteins were found overexpressed and 15 proteins were underexpressed at the level of twofold or more (p ≤ 0.05). The proteins overexpressed in high‐fertile spermatozoa were PDZD8, GTF2F2, ZNF397, KIZ, LOH12CR1, ACRBP, PRSS37, CYP11B2, F13A1 and SPO11, whereas those overexpressed in low‐fertile spermatozoa were MT1A, ATP5F1, CS, TCRB, PRODH2, HARS, IDH3A, SRPK3, Uncharacterized protein C9orf9 homolog isoform X4, TUBB2B, GPR4, PMP2, CTSL1, TPPP2 and EGFL6. The differential expression ranged from 2.0‐ to 6.1‐fold between the two groups, where CYP11B2 was high abundant in high‐fertile spermatozoa and MT1A was highly abundant in low‐fertile spermatozoa. Most of the proteins overexpressed in low‐fertile spermatozoa were related to energy metabolism and capacitation factors, pointing out the possible role of pre‐mature capacitation and cryo‐damages in reducing the fertility of cryopreserved buffalo spermatozoa.     

A comparison of UVb compact lamps in enabling cutaneous vitamin D synthesis in growing bearded dragons

The effect of exposure to different UVb compact lamps on the vitamin D status of growing bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) was studied. Forty‐two newly hatched bearded dragons (<24 h old) were allocated to six treatment groups (n = 7 per group). Five groups were exposed to different UVb compact lamps for two hours per day, with a control group not exposed to UVb radiation. At 120 days of age, blood samples were obtained and concentrations of 25(OH)D₃, Ca, P and uric acid were determined. In addition, plasma 25(OH)D₃ concentration was determined in free‐living adult bearded dragons to provide a reference level. Only one treatment resulted in elevated levels of 25(OH)D₃ compared to the control group (41.0 ± 12.85 vs. 2.0 ± 0.0 nmol/L). All UVb‐exposed groups had low 25(OH)D₃ plasma levels compared to earlier studies on captive bearded dragons as well as in comparison with the free‐living adult bearded dragons (409 ± 56 nmol/L). Spectral analysis indicated that all treatment lamps emitted UVb wavelengths effective for some cutaneous vitamin D synthesis. None of these lamps, under this regime, appeared to have provided a sufficient UVb dose to enable synthesis of plasma 25(OH)D₃ levels similar to those of free‐living bearded dragons in their native habitat.     

Tolerance evaluation of overdosed dietary levels of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D3 in growing piglets

Forty‐eight, cross‐bred (GL × LW × P) piglets were used in a 42‐day tolerance trial to assess the effects of feeding diets supplemented with vitamin D or increasing levels of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25‐OH‐D₃). Six‐week‐old piglets (24 castrate males, 24 females) were used. Two replicate groups of 6 piglets were randomized by weight and allocated to four dietary treatments. The control group (T1) was supplemented with 50 μg vitamin D₃/kg feed. The experimental groups received 25‐OH‐D₃ at the recommended dose (T2: 50 μg/kg = 1x), at 250 μg/kg (T3: 5x) or at 500 μg/kg (T4: 10x) respectively. Feed intake and daily weight gain were measured weekly, and the animals were examined by a veterinarian daily. After 42 days, body mass, blood, urine, bone and tissue samples were analysed and a pathology examination conducted. Dietary treatments had no significant effect on final body mass or daily weight gain. The 25‐OH‐D₃ plasma concentration in T1 was 17 ± 3 ng/ml (mean ± SD) while the respective values of the experimental groups were significantly increased in T2, T3 and T4. Tissue concentrations of 25‐OH‐D₃ were higher in liver and muscle for T3 and T4 and in skin for T4 than in T1. However, neither gross pathology nor histology, nor blood and urine characteristics, nor bone parameters were affected by dietary treatments. Weight of organs as well as dry matter, ash and calcium content of kidneys remained unaffected by dietary 25‐OH‐D₃ intake. Furthermore, no changes were observed for general indicators of health. The results of this study demonstrated that feeding piglets with 25‐OH‐D₃ at 5 or 10 times the recommended level had no adverse effects on any of the biological parameters measured. It was concluded that 25‐OH‐D₃ can be regarded as a supplement with a very high safety margin when used at the recommended level.     

维生素D受体在体外培养SD大鼠脂肪细胞中的表达

为了探索维生素D受体(VDR)在SD大鼠脂肪细胞分化过程中的表达规律,采用Ⅱ型胶原酶消化法进行SD大鼠脂肪细胞的分离培养,并将其诱导分化为成熟的脂肪细胞,分别在细胞生长至单层汇合后的第0、4、8、12、16天收集细胞样品。对VDR和脂滴进行荧光染色,同时采用Western blot对脂肪细胞分化过程中的VDR蛋白表达量进行分析,采用real-time PCR定量分析脂肪细胞分化过程中的VDR表达量。结果显示,随SD大鼠脂肪细胞的分化,细胞中脂滴逐渐增加,VDR mRNA和蛋白的表达量与脂质积累过程呈负相关性,表明VDR的表达在脂肪细胞分化过程中有一定的变化规律,其可能以负反馈的调节机制参与了脂肪细胞的分化过程。
