改良背主动脉注射法对鸡胚发育与转基因表达效率的影响

背主动脉注射是生产转基因鸡的经典方法,该方法不需换壳培养,但壳内注射技术难度大,并且无法实时观察后期胚胎发育情况.本实验对背主动脉注射法进行了改进,将增强型绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)腺相关病毒(Adeno-associated Virus,AAV)壳外注射至150枚HH 14～16期(Hamburger-Hamilton...     

一种优化鸡胚成纤维细胞制备方法及生长曲线测定

鸡胚成纤维细胞（CEF）的来源方便,制备简单,耐受性好,且适合于许多病毒的生长繁殖,因此被广泛用于疫苗的生产、病毒的培养以及一些细胞和分子生物学的研究。然而传统的鸡胚成纤维细胞制备方法存在制备时间长、死细胞较多和细胞贴壁慢的问题。笔者根据经验摸索出一种实验室快速制备CEF的简便方法,并通过台盼蓝染色用细胞计数法绘制了原代CEF及次代CEF的生长曲线。该简便方法的建立为实验室快速制备高质量高纯度的鸡胚成纤维细胞提供了方便,同时对其生长曲线的测定也为进行基因转染方面的研究积累了资料。     

抑制瘤胃甲烷排放的酵母菌的筛选及培养条件优化

减少瘤胃甲烷排放措施的研究已成为当前的研究热点之一。本研究以酒、面包和畜禽专用酿酒酵母产品为原材料,从中分离到三株酵母菌,将其制成冻干粉,通过体外产气试验,筛选出了一株抑制瘤胃甲烷排放效果最为显著的酵母菌株。然后以该酵母菌株作为研究对象,进行分子生物学鉴定;采用分光光度计比浊法测定该酵母菌株的生长曲线,确定菌体生长规律;并以此为依据,设计单因素试验考察该酵母菌株最适宜的生长条件。结果表明,分离得到的酵母菌株均为酿酒酵母saccharomyces cerevisiae;抑制瘤胃体外甲烷排放效果最显著的1株酵母菌分离自面包中;该酿酒酵母菌株的对数生长期为8～24h,其最佳培养条件为:生长温度30℃,pH 5.5,培养基中葡萄糖的浓度4.0%。     

Effect of follistatin on pre‐implantational development of pig parthenogenetic embryos

The present study was designed to explore effects of follistatin (FST) on pre‐implantational development of parthenogenetically activated embryos (PAEs) in pigs. First, we investigated the FST messenger RNA expression level and dynamic FST protein expression patterns in porcine oocytes and PAEs. Then, PAEs were placed in embryo culture medium supplemented with 10 ng/mL of FST‐288, FST‐300, and FST‐315. Next, PAEs were cultured with 0, 1, 10 and 100 ng/mL of FST‐315 protein throughout the in vitro culture (IVC) duration. Further, 10 ng/mL of FST‐300 was added from the start of IVC in which PAEs were treated for 30, 48 and 60 h. The results showed that 1 ng/mL FST‐315 could significantly increase the total cell numbers of blastocyst and trophectoderm cell number in PAEs. Exogenous FST‐300 supplementation could significantly promote the early cleavage divisions and improve the blastocyst formation rate of porcine embryos. FST‐300 appeared to affect early embryonic development before activation of the embryonic genome. In all, the study confirmed for the first time that FST plays a role in promoting early embryonic development in pigs, which differed with different FST subtypes. FST‐300 could facilitate the initial cleavage time and improve the blastocyst formation rate, and FST‐315 could improve the blastocyst quality.     

Mouse embryo co‐culture with autologous cumulus cells and fetal development post‐embryo transfer

This study was conducted to examine the potential for implantation and sustainable fetal development of mouse embryos cultured from the pronuclear to blastocyst stage. Pronuclear embryos from ICR mice (Harlan Sprague‐Dawley) were cultured in Sydney IVF sequential media (Cook) to the blastocyst stage in medium only or co‐cultured with autologous cumulus cells. We also experimented with co‐culture in 100 µL drops. Drop co‐culture produced blastocyst formation rates with a mean of 47.0%, which was significantly higher (P < 0.05) compared to embryos cultured in identical culture conditions except without cumulus cells at 27.3%. Blastocysts obtained in vitro in Cook medium only and co‐cultured in Cook medium with cumulus cells were transferred to pseudopregnant females of ICR strain. The day of blastocyst transfer into surrogate females was designated as post‐transfer of blastocyst day 1 (PT 1). The implantation and fetal development was compared to embryo transfer of in vivo derived blastocysts, which served as controls. There were no statistical differences for implantation and fetal development rates for blastocysts cultured in vitro in either Cook medium only or co‐culture in Cook medium with cumulus cells compared to in vivo‐derived blastocysts. The advantage of the co‐culture system is in generating more blastocysts available for transfer.     

Successful treatment of infectious (Salmonella type III: 44) polyarthritis and osteomyelitis in a 4‐week‐old foal

This article describes the acute onset of infectious polyarthritis and osteomyelitis in a 4‐week‐old foal. Analysis of synovial fluid obtained from the left femoropatellar and right tarsocrural joints combined with clinical signs consisting of joint effusion and lameness yielded a diagnosis of septic arthritis. Bacterial culture of synovial fluid from the left stifle revealed Salmonella type III: 44. Rapid, sustained clinical improvement was noted following discontinuation of empirical antimicrobial therapy (potassium penicillin and amikacin sulphate) and initiation of treatment with ceftiofur and ampicillin. The importance of combining knowledge of veterinary pharmacology and microbiology so that appropriate antimicrobials may be selected with regard to the local environment in which they are to eradicate infection is emphasised. Despite frequent reference to amikacin sulphate as an effective antimicrobial for treating infections in foals caused by Salmonella, factors are discussed that explain why amikacin may not be clinically effective for treating infectious arthritis caused by Salmonella.

功能性寡糖对锦江黄牛瘤胃发酵及微生物生长效率的影响

本试验旨在研究不同水平的功能性寡糖对锦江黄牛瘤胃发酵及微生物生长效率的影响。采用体外批次培养法,在精粗比为 ２０∶８０的基础饲粮中添加甘露寡糖、果寡糖和大豆寡糖,各组功能性寡糖的添加水平分别为 ０（对照组）、０．８０％、１．００％和 １．２０％。结果表明,饲粮添加功能性寡糖对锦江黄牛瘤胃 ｐＨ无显著影响（Ｐ＞０．０５）,但显著增加培养液挥发性脂肪酸和菌体蛋白浓度（Ｐ＜０．０５）;每日微生物氮产量也有提高的趋势,但差异不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）。建立微生物生长效率与功能性寡糖添加水平之间的二次曲线模型,当甘露寡糖添加水平为 １．１７％时,微生物生长效率最大,为 ５９．７２ｇ／ｋｇ;当大豆寡糖添加水平为 １．０３％时,微生物生长效率最大,为 ５９．５０ｇ／ｋｇ。综合本试验结果,功能性寡糖的添加水平在 １．００％ ～１．２０％之间更有利于锦江黄牛瘤胃微生物的生长。
