Physicochemical properties of the thermal gel of water-washed meat in the presence of the more soluble fraction of porcine sarcoplasmic protein

We investigated the physicochemical properties of the thermal gel of water‐washed pork meat (WWM) in the presence of the soluble fraction of porcine sarcoplasmic protein (SP) obtained with ammonium sulfate at 75 percent saturation. Two precipitated fractions of SP were obtained at 0–50 percent and 50–75 percent saturation, named SP‐f1 and SP‐f2, respectively, and the soluble fraction obtained at 75 percent saturation, SP‐f3, was used. Sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that SP‐f3 contained mainly glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), while SP‐f1 and SP‐f2 had other SPs such as phosphorylase b, enolase, actin and phosphoglycerate mutase. The gel strength of WWM was greater when SP‐f3 rather than one of various animal proteins such as bovine plasma (BP), egg white, or whey protein isolates (WPI), was added and SP‐f3 had a gel‐enhancing effect as good as that of polyphosphate (PP). The gel strength of WWM with added SP‐f3 increased significantly with NaCl at 0.15 mol/L or more, but not in the absence of NaCl (0 mol/L). The effect of SP‐f3 was evident at neutral pH and maximum gel strength was obtained at a pH above 6.0. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis showed that an endothermic peak corresponding to myosin heads in WWM shifted to a lower temperature with the addition of SP‐f3, as in the case of PP, though there was no such shift in the presence of other animal proteins (BP, egg white and WPI), suggesting that SP‐f3 increases the gel strength of WWM through the dissociation of actomyosin similar to PP. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed wall‐like structures among the protein strands in the WWM gel matrix in the presence of SP‐f3. The results of DSC and SEM indicated that the formation of a gel network in meat products is reinforced with GAPDH in SP after the interaction between GAPDH and myofibrillar protein.     

宁夏盐池县扬黄水地玉米品种对比试验

依据宁夏盐池县的气候条件,试验共引种6个玉米品种。试验结果表明,屯玉一号、郑单958、中单5485与对照组无显著差异,较适应当地的种植条件,应大力推广应用;虽然单玉三号的利润较高,但其风干含水量为74.3%,且在生育期时最符合青贮的要求,所以是该地区十分理想的青贮品种,适宜于在盐池县作为青贮作物而推广应用。     

黄艾美球虫侵犯宿主组织的超微研究

利用透射电镜和扫描电镜相结合的技术对黄艾美球虫（E.flavescens）人工感染后的子孢子移动过程及被虫体寄生的宿主细胞形态学变化和粘膜形态学变化进行了观察。子孢子在进入小肠腺上皮过程中需白细胞介导，在白细胞内可发育成球形的滋养体，观察到有两个子孢子侵入同一白细胞的现象，但分别存在于各自的带虫空泡中，黄艾美球虫引起的肠粘膜损伤主要发生于感染177小时之后，其损伤主要表现在绒毛大片脱落，结缔组织裸露，表面可见到大量破损的孔洞及大量肠杆菌，被虫体寄生的腺上皮细胞基部膨胀，微绒毛脱落，细胞核膨大并部分包被虫体，有些细胞核裂解为二。     

靶向口蹄疫病毒IRES区RNA干扰位点的选择及shRNA表达载体的构建与鉴定

以口蹄疫病毒WFL株为试验株,对口蹄疫病毒的IRES序列进行了保守性分析和RNA二级结构预测,推测高度保守的FMDV复制原点区域位于容易被siRNA结合的IRESRNA二级结构的环区,因此,在该区选择确定了2个siRNA干扰靶位,设计并合成能表达其小发夹结构shRNA的表达模板,克隆到含有U6启动子的真核表达载体中,建立了靶向口蹄疫病毒IRES区的siRNA真核表达系统,为进一步研究针对该区的RNA干扰对口蹄疫病毒的抑制作用打下了基础。     

雏鸡冷应激前后血清中差异蛋白质组学研究

本试验旨在比较分析雏鸡冷应激前后血清中蛋白质的表达差异,并对重点差异蛋白质进行鉴定。将30只雏鸡随机分为3组,分别为冷应激组、冷适应组和常温对照组,收集各组雏鸡的血液制备血清后进行双向凝胶电泳(2-DE),以获得血清蛋白质表达的2-DE图谱,对2-DE图谱进行差异分析(利用PDQuest 8.0软件),随后采用基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF-MS)技术对差异表达蛋白质进行鉴定,并利用蛋白质印迹(Western blot)方法进行验证。结果显示:通过2-DE对常温对照组、冷应激组和冷适应组雏鸡血清进行分析,得到了比较完整的差异蛋白质数据,共找到差异蛋白质点23个。采用MALDI-TOF-MS技术分析其中几个重复性好且较为明显的蛋白质点,成功鉴定出4个差异蛋白质,其中2个为果糖二磷酸醛缩酶C(ALDOC),是参与葡萄糖、能量代谢通路供能的相关蛋白;随后,对差异蛋白质ALDOC进行Western blot验证,所得结果与2-DE的结果相一致。结果表明,雏鸡冷应激前后血清中蛋白质的表达具有明显的差异,这些蛋白质的表达差异可能与冷应激有关。     

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND PATHOLOGIC FINDINGS ASSOCIATED WITH NECROTIZING ENCEPHALITIS IN TWO YORKSHIRE TERRIERS

Two young adult Yorkshire terriers had neurologic signs consistent with forebrain and brainstem involvement or forebrain involvement alone. On magnetic resonance imaging studies there were asymmetric bilateral lesions mainly in the cerebral cortex, and in the diencephalon. These areas were hyperintense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images, but hypointense or isointense on T1-weighted images. Lesions had a varying degree of contrast enhancement. Areas which were isointense on T1-weighted images had no contrast enhancement or only foci of contrast enhancement. Lesions with hypointensity in T1-weighted images had no enhancement or more frequently ring-like enhancement around the lesion. Necrotizing encephalitis was confirmed pathohistologically in both dogs. The degree of contrast enhancement appeared to be related to the degree of lymphohistiocytic inflammation on histologic examination.     

THE USE OF A BARIUM MEAL TO EVALUATE TOTAL GASTRIC EMPTYING TIME IN THE DOG

Total gastric emptying time was determined in nine mongrel dogs using a barium meal contrast procedure. Within the group, total gastric emptying time ranged from 7.0–15.0 hours. Comparison of the population mean showed a statistical difference (p − 0.01) from previously published values. Individual dogs showed consistent total gastric emptying time over three trials. The technique can be used to test the effect of a procedure on total gastric emptying time when a normal value has been established for the dog. Due to the wide range of normal values observed, evaluation of clinical patients could be difficult unless there is a gross abnormality in function.     

Sentinel lymph node mapping by near‐infrared fluorescence imaging and contrast‐enhanced ultrasound in healthy dogs

Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping is a valuable and crucial diagnostic procedure in staging malignancies. We compared two non‐invasive techniques, near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging and contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), to identify the SLNs in three superficial anatomical regions in an animal model. Six healthy laboratory dogs were included in a proof‐of‐concept trial. A NIR fluorescent dye (Indocyanine Green) and microbubbles (Sonovue) were consecutively injected subdermally in the Inguinal, axillary and popliteal region to map the SLNs. Transcutaneous NIR fluorescence imaging identified SLNs in 17 out of a total of 18 occasions. CEUS identified SLNs in all regions (18/18). Whereas NIR fluorescence imaging performed better in the visualization of the afferent lymphatic tract, CEUS demonstrated different filling patterns of the SLNs, a feature potentially critical for the concept of SLN mapping in cancer patients. Both NIR fluorescence imaging and CEUS are safe, non‐invasive, practical and accurate methods to perform real‐time transcutaneous SLN mapping with potential in a clinical setting.     

EXCRETORY UROGRAPHY BY INTRAOSSEOUS INJECTION OF CONTRAST MEDIA IN A RABBIT MODEL

There are many indications for an intravenous excretory urogram. However, where intravenous access is not available, the intraosseous route to the circulation may be an alternative. We found that safe and diagnostic excretory urograms could be obtained in rabbits following the injection of different contrast media via the intraosseous route. In fact, these excretory urograms were indistinguishable from ones obtained by the conventional intravenous route. While the rabbits did not develop any abnormal clinical signs following the procedure, there were postmortem histologic lesions of osteochondrosis in 5 of 22 (22.7%) tibias receiving an intraosseous needle, but in none of the 14 tibias that did not receive an intraosseous needle. Further, the use of diatrizoate was associated with the development of osteochondrosis while the use of iopamidol was not.
