Effect of Fagopyrum dibotrys (D.Don) Hara on Growth Performance,Immune Function and Intestinal Structure of Broilers

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Fagopyrum dibotrys (D.Don) Hara on growth performance,immune function and intestinal structure of broilers. A total of 270 one-day-old healthy Tiejiaoma broilers were chosen and randomly divided into 3 groups with 6 replicates per group and 15 broilers per replicate.Control group was fed with the basal diet,group Ⅱ was fed with basal diet adding 8% flavomycin 60 mg/kg +15% aureomycin 270 mg/kg and group Ⅲ was fed with basal diet adding 1% Fagopyrum dibotrys (D.Don) Hara. The trial period lasted for 21 days. The results showed as follow:① At 21 days of age,the average daily feed intake of group Ⅲ was significantly lower than that of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the average daily gain and F/G among the three groups (P>0.05).②At 21 days of age,the thymus and bursa of Fabricius indexes of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P<0.05);But the spleen index were not significantly different among the three groups (P>0.05).③ At 21 days of age,the content of IgA and IgM in serum of groups Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P<0.05),and the content of IgG in serum of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P<0.05).④At 21 days of age,the content of IL-2,TNF-α and sIgA in intestinal mucosa of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P<0.05),and the content of IL-6 in intestinal mucosa of group Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P<0.05).⑤At 21 days of age,the villus height of jejunum in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (P<0.05),the villus height/crypt depth of jejunum in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ (P<0.05). However,the crypt depth was not significantly different among the three groups (P>0.05).In conclusion,that Fagopyrum dibotrys (D.Don) Hara could not affect the growth performance of broilers,but it could improve the development of immune organs,increase the secretion of serum immunoglobulin, promote the immune function of intestinal mucosa and intestinal morphology of jejunum.     

HMG-CoA还原酶的结构和调节

3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A(3-hy-droxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A,HMG-CoA)还原酶是胆固醇合成的限速酶。该酶的生成除了受到它的底物正向调节和终端产物的反馈调节外,还受各种激素的调节。文章就HMG-CoA还原酶的结构,以及胆固醇、胆汁酸、激素包括胰岛素、胰高血糖素、甲状腺素、糖皮质类激素和雌激素对HMG-CoA还原酶生成的调节进行了概述。

酸、镉胁迫对金丝草种子萌发、幼苗生长及亚显微结构的影响

金丝草可在土壤酸化和镉污染的矿区正常生长,其可能对酸和镉(Cd)胁迫具有特殊的响应策略。为此,以金丝草种子为试验材料,在人工气候箱中进行种子萌发试验,设置不同酸(pH 5.5、4.5、3.5)和镉(5、10、20 mg·L^-1)胁迫处理,分析不同胁迫条件下金丝草种子萌发、幼苗生长、根系质膜完整性及芽亚显微结构等指标的差异。结果表明:酸胁迫可提高金丝草种子发芽率,不同酸胁迫处理其发芽率均与对照无显著差异(P>0.05);随pH的逐渐减小,金丝草萌发指标呈减小趋势,pH 3.5处理,金丝草种子除发芽率外的其他萌发指标均显著小于对照(P<0.05);随着Cd浓度的增加,金丝草种子萌发和幼苗生长指标值均呈逐渐减小的趋势,表现出抑制作用,但Cd 20 mg·L^-1处理金丝草种子发芽率仍可达40%以上。相关性分析和隶属函数值分析发现,pH大于3.5,Cd浓度小于10 mg·L^-1对金丝草种子萌发和幼苗生长无显著影响,但随pH的进一步减小和Cd浓度的提高,对金丝草种子萌发和幼苗生长抑制作用明显,根尖质膜和芽亚显微结构造成较大损害,出现细胞器膜破裂和细胞空泡化等现象。综上,金丝草种子萌发对酸和镉胁迫有较强耐性,表现出轻度酸和镉胁迫对种子萌发和幼苗生长促进,而强酸和镉胁迫则抑制。     

Species-specific differences of the avian oesophagus: Histological and Ultrastructural study

The oesophagus is a muscular tube comprised of cervical and thoracic regions. Several studies have clarified the histological structure of the oesophagus. However, its histoarchitecture in relation to variable dietary habits of each species is still unclear. In the current study, 21 pigeons, cattle egrets and ducks, n = 7, each was used. Macroscopically, the oesophagus of cattle egrets either the cervical or thoracic parts was the longest among the pigeons and ducks. Histologically, the oesophagus comprised of four distinct tunicae: mucosa, propria submucosa, musculosa and adventitia or serosa. A great structural variation in these layers among the three investigated species was recorded. In the cervical oesophagus of pigeons, the superficial squamous cells showed perinuclear halo zone, the propria submucosa was characteristically lacked any gland. Moreover, its musculosa was very thick. On the other hand, the intraepithelial glands were characteristically distributed along the whole length of the cattle egret’s oesophagus. Interestingly, the cervical esophagus of the ducks showed submucosal associated lymphatic tissue; diffuse and nodular Ultrastructurally, the oesophageal glands showed secretory granules of variable electron densities, electron - lucent in the pigeons and ducks and electron - dense in the cattle egrets.

生乳储运条件对品质影响的探究

菌落总数是衡量生乳品质的重要指标之一.生乳中菌落总数基数越大,其品质越不稳定.但因为奶源产地等原因,生乳必须经过一段时间运输才能到达乳品企业进行生产,运输过程可能由于微生物繁殖导致生乳品质下降.试验选取菌落总数基数不同的两批生乳,通过在2～6℃和10～15℃条件下存放,模拟生乳在冷藏储运和脱冷储运状态下,分别储存24 ...
