子宫内膜基质金属蛋白酶-2、-9 mRNA表达与奶牛子宫内膜炎关系的研究

为探讨基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)-2、MMP-9在奶牛子宫内膜炎中的作用机制,选用产后6～10d健康及患急性化脓性子宫内膜炎的中国荷斯坦奶牛各10头,分别为对照组和试验组,通过ELISA检测PGF2a、孕酮浓度;免疫组化检测子宫内膜Ⅰ型胶原、Ⅳ型胶原的表达;SYBR Green I荧光定量PCR检测子宫内膜MMP-2和MMP-9mRNA表达。结果表明:试验组PGF2a浓度极显著低于对照组(P<0.01),孕酮含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05),PGF2a与孕酮浓度呈显著负相关(r=0.893);试验组子宫内膜中Ⅰ型胶原、Ⅳ型胶原的表达量均高于对照组,差异极显著(P<0.01);MMP-2和MMP-9mRNA水平则显著低于对照组(P<0.01)。结果提示:产后子宫内膜炎病牛子宫内膜MMP-2、MMP-9低表达,导致Ⅰ型和Ⅳ型胶原降解受阻,使细胞外基质为子宫内膜细胞提供的刺激信号不足,子宫分泌PGF2a量少,黄体消退障碍,血清孕酮含量高;说明子宫内膜MMP-2、MMP-9mRNA表达对产后子宫内膜炎的发生和发展起促进作用。

通过RT-PCR方法克隆了H3亚型猪流感病毒HA基因一段靶序列,构建重组质粒作为标准阳性模板.根据GenBank中的H3亚型猪流感病毒HA基因保守序列设计了用于FQ-PCR的1对引物和1条TaqMan探针.通过条件优化,以10倍系列稀释的质粒为标准品进行荧光定量PCR扩增,并制作标准曲线,建立了检测H3亚型猪流感的荧光定量PCR方法.结果表明,该方法检测灵敏度可达1.0×100拷贝/μL,线性范围为109～100,达10个数量级;对起始浓度为1.0×109、1.0×108、1.0×107拷贝/μL的标准品的最终实际测得值(Ct)分别为13.68,18.21和20.57;变异系数分别为0.31%、0.17%和0.12%,均小于5%,说明此方法具有良好的准确性和重现性.对阳性组织病料的检测表明,该方法的检测灵敏度高出常规PCR,与套式PCR具有相近的灵敏度.     

Injection of the insertion of the deep digital flexor tendon in horses using radiographic guidance

Insertional tendinopathies of the DDFT have been reported both as the sole lesion and as part of a multifocal lesion (Dyson et al. 2003). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging allow specific diagnosis of deep digital flexor tendon lesions within the hoof capsule; however, direct intralesional treatment of such lesions is difficult because of the hoof's rigid structure. A technique designed to mimic intralesional injection of insertional tendinopathies of the DDFT in the standing horse using radiographic guidance was assessed. Radiographic and contrast CT imaging and sectioning of the limbs confirmed accurate injection in all cases although inadvertant administration of injectate into adjacent structures was also evident.     

一步法实时定量RT-PCR检测小反刍兽疫病毒方法的建立

建立了检测小反刍兽疫病毒的快速、特异的基于Taqman的一步法实时定量RT-PCR方法。通过对GenBank已公布的小反刍兽疫病毒N基因序列进行序列比较分析,设计了一对特异性引物和一条Taqman探针。利用这对引物和探针对来自不同疫源地的小反刍兽疫病毒RNA样本进行检测,都获得了特异性扩增,但是,不与牛瘟病毒、海豚麻疹病毒等其他种的麻疹病毒属病毒发生交叉反应。本方法具有高度灵敏性,最低可检测到810拷贝的RNA模板。在模板浓度为8.1×102到8.1×108拷贝范围内,都呈现良好的线性关系,而且无论是组内和或组间重复的变异系数都很低。

Pseudomonas fluorescens contamination of a feline packed red blood cell unit and studies of canine units

Background: While screening programs have reduced the risk of infectious disease transmission by donors in human and veterinary blood banking, bacterial contamination of blood products has emerged as a major complication in human medicine. Objectives: To describe a Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf)‐contaminated feline packed RBC (pRBC) unit and experimentally investigate Pf‐contaminated canine pRBCs. Methods: Canine pRBCs were inoculated with Pf‐rich pRBCs from the sentinel feline unit and stored at 4°C or 20°C for 72 hours. Aliquots from the pRBCs were serially evaluated by microscopy, culture, and a eubacterial 16S rRNA real‐time PCR assay. Results: One Pf‐contaminated feline unit turned black after 22 days of storage and was removed from the blood bank; a source was not found, and no other contaminated units were identified. Canine pRBCs spiked with 5 or 25 μL of the sentinel unit became culture‐ and/or 16S PCR‐positive at ≥8 hours at 20°C and 48 hours at 4°C and developed a color change at ≥24 hours. Sensitivity studies indicated that without incubation, inoculation of ≥100 μL Pf‐rich pRBCs was necessary for a positive 16S PCR test result. Conclusions: P. fluorescens grows in stored pRBCs slowly at 4°C and rapidly at 20°C. Screening of blood products for color change, estimating bacterial concentration with microscopy, and 16S PCR testing are simple and fast ways to detect bacteria in stored blood. Aseptic collection, temperature‐controlled storage, and regular visual monitoring of stored units is recommended. Discolored units should not be transfused, but examined for bacterial contamination or other blood product quality problems.
