禽流感病毒H9N2亚型三重PCR检测方法的建立

为建立简便快速检测禽流感病毒(avian influenza virus,AIV)并同时区分出H9、N2亚型的方法,本试验根据基因库中H9亚型AIV的HA基因、N2亚型AIV的NA基因及AIV的M基因序列,分别设计了3对针对这3种基因保守序列的引物,建立了AIV H9N2亚型的三重PCR检测方法。应用该方法对H9N2亚型AIV模板进行PCR扩增,可得到3条与试验设计相符的目的条带,分别为313 bp (HA基因)、451 bp (NA基因)和667 bp(M基因);对非H9亚型的N2亚型AIV模板进行扩增,出现2条特异性扩增条带,即451 bp (NA基因)和667 bp(M基因);对非H9、N2亚型AIV模板进行扩增则只出现一条目的条带,即667 bp(M基因);对其他禽呼吸道病原体进行PCR扩增,结果均为阴性。敏感性试验结果显示此三重PCR方法最低检出限为10^-2 ng/μL。应用所建立的三重PCR方法对120份临床病料进行检测的结果与病毒分离鉴定结果一致。各项试验结果均表明,该方法对于禽流感病毒尤其是H9、N2亚型禽流感病毒的检测具有快捷、特异、灵敏的特点。     

Identification and quantification of benzimidazole resistance polymorphisms in Haemonchus contortus isolated in Northeastern Brazil

Haemonchus contortus is the most prevalent nematode in Brazil. The objective of this study was to select 6 populations of H. contortus of known or suspected benzimidazole resistance status and characterize these using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) F200Y, F167Y and E198A in the β-tubulin isotype 1 gene. qPCR was performed using DNA from a pool of 10 adult male H. contortus from a single animal per farm. Faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) and egg hatch test (EHT) were used to determine the resistance status. Samples were obtained from 6 farms located in 5 counties in the Ceará State: Tauá, Boa Viagem, Quixadá, Santa Quitéria and Solonópole. The inbred-susceptible-Edinburgh (ISE) isolate was used as reference for comparative purposes in the qPCR. Benzimidazole resistance was detected by FECRT on all farms with efficacy values ranging from 0 to 51%. EC50 values as determined by EHT were all above 1.49 μg/ml. High frequencies of the resistant SNPs F200Y and F167Y alleles were detected but no resistance was detected at SNP E198A. Our results suggest that the SNPs F167Y and F200Y are both important for benzimidazole resistance in the studied populations.     

水貂TYR基因T138A位点多态性及其与毛色性状的关联分析

试验旨在检测水貂酪氨酸酶（tyrosinase,TYR）基因T138A位点的多态性,并分析其与水貂毛色表型的相关性。提取5种被毛色型430只水貂血液基因组DNA,采用PCR-RFLP技术,对TYR基因T138A位点进行多态性检测,统计等位基因频率与基因型频率,通过卡方（χ²）独立性检验分析该位点多态性与水貂毛色性状的相关性。结果表明,T138A位点存在2个等位基因T和A,形成TT、TA和AA 3种基因型,AA基因型在吉林白水貂群体中为优势基因型（0.9069）,而TT基因型为金州黑水貂、珍珠水貂、咖啡水貂和银蓝水貂群体的优势基因型,其中在金州黑水貂群体中基因型频率最高（1.0000）。关联分析表明,TYR基因T138A位点的多态性与毛色性状呈极显著相关（P<0.0001）。表明TYR基因T138A位点可能是影响水貂毛色的主控位点或与调控白色被毛表型主控位点连锁的分子标记。     

应用DPO-PCR方法特异性检测志贺氏菌

In this study, a dual-priming oligonucleotide (DPO)-based PCR method for specific detection of Shigella was established using ipaH gene of Shigella as the target gene. The results showed that detection sensitivity of the DPO-PCR method was 1.65×10² CFU/mL. Compared with conventional PCR primers, the DPO primers were easily designed, which simplified the design procedure of PCR primers. DPO primers were not sensitive to annealing temperature, which could efficiently amplify the target gene in the annealing temperature range from 50 to 70 ℃. Moreover, due to the special structure of DPO primers, it had a higher specificity than conventional PCR primers, and none nonspecific amplifications were produced in reaction. In the practical application, tests on 133 samples including frozen/fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, fresh milk, eggs and cooked food by the DPO-PCR method showed that 15 samples were Shigella positive, which were in accordance with the testing results using GB method (GB/T 4789.5-2012), showing good practicality and reliability. The DPO-PCR method provided a new tool for fast and accurate detection of Shigella.     

Delivery of growth factors using gene therapy to enhance bone healing

OBJECTIVE: To review the delivery of growth factors using gene therapy for enhancing long-bone fracture healing. STUDY DESIGN: Literature review. METHODS: MEDLINE and CAB Abstracts literature search (1980-2004). RESULTS: Non-union and infected non-union are relatively common complications of long-bone fractures in human and veterinary patients. Growth factors are cytokines that regulate many cell functions important in fracture healing. Exogenous growth factors can be delivered to the fracture site as recombinant proteins or using gene therapy. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and -7 (rhBMP-2 and -7), in particular, enhance fracture healing in numerous experimental and clinical studies. Some limitations with use of recombinant proteins may be overcome by use of gene therapy. Gene therapy involves delivery of the growth factor gene to cells at the fracture site using a viral or non-viral vector. The gene is then expressed (protein synthesis) by cells at the fracture site. Delivery of the BMP gene to the fracture site using gene therapy has been evaluated in laboratory animal models of non-union, with favorable results and without complications. CONCLUSION: Delivery of growth factors, particularly members of BMP family, to the fracture site using gene therapy may be a method to enhance fracture healing. Use of this technology may improve the prognosis for patients with long-bone fractures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Clinical application of gene therapy could improve the prognosis for human and veterinary patients with long-bone fractures, but has not been evaluated clinically.

猪圆环病毒2型核酸疫苗的小鼠免疫保护试验

为了研究猪圆环病毒2型(PCV2)核酸疫苗在小鼠攻毒试验中的免疫保护效果,以PCV-2 GXWZ-1株为模板,扩增出ORF2基因及其截短基因8个片段(A(ORF2)、B(51-100aa)、C(101-150aa)、D(181-235aa)、E(151-200aa)、F(51-150aa)、G(101-235aa)、H(51-235aa)),将其插入到pcDNA3.0载体中,构建出真核表达质粒,并将其转染至PK-15细胞,用间接免疫荧光试验检测其瞬时表达情况。将试验小鼠随机分成9组,其中免疫组7组,阴阳性对照各1组,将纯化的真核表达质粒对小鼠进行组合免疫;二免后,用经处理过的PCV-2 GXWZ-2株阳性病料悬液腹腔注射免疫组和非免疫对照组小鼠,阴性对照组用生理盐水腹腔注射;其后进行体重记录、病理切片制作及PCR检测。结果表明:共有6个真核表达质粒成功在PK-15细胞中表达。在攻毒后的3周内,阳性对照组小鼠PCR诊断均为阳性;免疫组中,部分组小鼠在攻毒后第1周或在第2周为阳性,到第3周时各免疫组小鼠全部为阴性;阴性对照组始终为阴性。免疫组在病理保护学方面明显优于非免疫对照组,非免疫对照组的体重增长速率略低于免疫组和阴性对照组。由此可见猪圆环病毒2型核酸疫苗在小鼠攻毒试验中有明显的保护作用。
