MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE CANINE OPTIC NERVE

We describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging aspects of normal canine optic nerve, the diameter of the optic nerve as measured on MR images, and optimal MR sequences for the evaluation of the optic nerve using a 0.2 T MR unit. Three millimeter contiguous slides of the normal canine orbital region were acquired in transverse and dorsal oblique planes using a variety of tissue weighting sequences. It was apparent that detailed anatomic assessment of the optic nerve can be performed with low‐field MR imaging, but none of the sequences provided unequivocal superior image quality of the optic nerve. The mean diameter of the optic nerve sheath complex was 3.7 mm and of the optic nerve 1.7 mm. The intraorbital and intracanalicular parts of the optic nerve are consistently visible and differentiation between the optic nerve and optic nerve sheath complex is possible using low‐field MR systems.

玉米子粒脂肪含量的全基因组关联分析

利用分子标记对控制玉米脂肪合成的关键基因进行定位,从分子水平上阐明其遗传机理,提高高油玉米的育种效率。以吉林省80份核心玉米自交系为关联群体,2014年和2015年分别在吉林农业大学试验地进行田间试验,将自交收获的果穗晾晒脱粒后用NIRFlex N-500近红外光谱仪测定其子粒脂肪含量。同时使用Illumina PE150测序仪对80份玉米自交系进行全基因组重测序,共获得1 490 007个高质量的SNP用于后续的关联分析。结果表明,玉米子粒脂肪含量的变异范围为2.83%~6.81%,广义遗传力为63.3%。经过两年1点的全基因组关联分析共筛选得到10个SNP位点与子粒的脂肪含量显著关联(P0.000 001),解释的表型贡献率为0.65%~34.5%,其中位于染色体框4.01的SNP标记表型贡献率最高为34.5%。在显著性SNP位点(P0.000 001)的连锁不平衡区域(5.2 kb)内共挖掘出6个候选基因,分别预测编码MYB转录因子、果胶酯酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶和3种无特征功能的假定蛋白,可能与脂肪的合成代谢密切相关,可为高油玉米材料的分子标记辅助选择及克隆调控玉米子粒脂肪含量的关键基因提供参考。     

Fatty acid composition of intramuscular fat from Nellore steers fed dry or high moisture corn and calcium salts of fatty acids

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of the Longissimus muscle from carcasses of Nellore steers fed diets with calcium salts of fatty acids (CSFA) and high moisture corn. Forty eight steers were fed during 70 days four diets containing dry corn (DC), high moisture corn (HM), dry corn plus CSFA (DC-CSFA) or high moisture corn plus CSFA (HM-CSFA). Fatty acid composition of the Longissimus muscle was determined by gas chromatography. Corn type had no effect on the ether extract percentage and in the content of the majority of the fatty acids, although steers fed HMC showed higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated/saturated ratio. Feeding CSFA increased ether extract percentage but had no effect on total of saturated, unsaturated and saturated: unsaturated ratio. Both high moisture corn and calcium salts of fatty acids increased CLA (cis9, trans11) and total CLA concentrations in intramuscular fat.

原花青素对肥胖小鼠脂肪沉积的抑制

探讨葡萄籽提取物原花青素对肥胖小鼠脂肪沉积的影响.用高脂日粮饲喂小鼠建立肥胖模型,然后分别用低剂量[50 mg/(kg·d)]、中剂量[100 mg/(kg·d)]和高剂量[200mg/(kg·d)]的葡萄籽提取物原花青素灌胃处理15 d,记录体质量变化,检测血清中TG、T-CHO、LDL-C和HDL-C浓度,检测葡萄糖耐受性和胰岛素耐受性,同时利用Real-ime PCR分析PPARy、C/EBPα、HSL和FAS mRNA的表达水平.结果表明,葡萄籽提取物原花青素可降低肥胖小鼠体质量,并呈现一定的剂量依赖性.各处理组血清中总T-CHO、TG和LDL-C浓度均显著(P＜0.05)或极显著(P＜0.01)降低,而HDL-C浓度显著(P＜0.05)或极显著(P＜0.01)升高.同时,各处理组注射葡萄糖有改善肥胖小鼠高血糖的趋势.注射胰岛素后,原花青素可改善肥胖小鼠对胰岛素的抵抗状况.各处理组附睾脂肪组织中C/EBPa、FAS和PPARyγ基因mRNA的表达水平均显著(P＜0.05)或极显著(P＜0.01)低于对照组,而HSL mRNA表达水平则呈现显著(P＜0.05)或极显著(P＜0.01)升高.由此可知,葡萄籽提取物原花青素可抑制肥胖小鼠脂肪沉积,降低血脂,同时通过影响脂代谢相关基因的表达和葡萄糖、胰岛素耐受性共同调节小鼠脂肪代谢.     

Waxy durum and fat differ in their actions as improvers of bread quality

Fat is commonly added to bakery products to improve eating qualities and extend shelf life. Flour milled from waxy durum grain was incorporated into bread formulations and its effects on crumb softness and loaf volume compared to those of added fat. Low levels of fat (0.1-0.3% of flour weight) softened the bread crumb and increased loaf volume. Most of the softening effects were evident in the crown of the loaves protruding above the tin and a high proportion of the reduction in compression was associated with increased volume. Loaves baked with waxy durum flour were softer than those baked with fat and the softening effects were evident both in the crown of the loaf and at its base where it had been confined within the tin. Waxy durum flour reduces compression independently of increased volume. It is suggested waxy durum flour acts by slowing the migration of water from the gluten phase to the starch phase so maintaining the level of mobile water in the gluten where it acts as a plasticiser. Independent organoleptic assessment of bread quality baked with combinations of waxy durum and fat confirmed the quality enhancing effects of waxy durum flour.

家蚕经菊酯类农药诱导后脂肪体蛋白的表达谱及烯醇酶基因的组织转录活性

为了从蛋白质水平探讨家蚕对菊酯类农药的抗性机制,采用双向电泳结合基质辅助质量飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF-MS)技术,分析家蚕5龄幼虫经氯氰菊酯诱导前后脂肪体蛋白的表达特征。采用ImageMaster6.0软件分析表明,对照组共检测到432个蛋白点,诱导实验组检测到369个蛋白点,其中能匹配的蛋白点有342对,匹配率为76.68%。对特征蛋白进行MALDI-TOF-MS分析鉴定的蛋白包括烯醇酶、线粒体醛脱氢酶、伴侣素、肌动蛋白、gag-like蛋白。烯醇酶(enolase)是糖酵解过程中极为重要的酶类。采用半定量RT-PCR对经氯氰菊酯诱导后的家蚕脑、中肠、丝腺、脂肪体、精巢、马氏管、血液等7个组织器官的烯醇酶基因进行表达分析,结果表明,烯醇酶基因转录水平在7个组织器官中都呈现下调趋势,分别下调了13.79%、10.71%、22.48%、7.40%、27.00%、11.50%、14.52%,其中脂肪体的烯醇酶基因表达和蛋白的表达下调一致。受菊酯类农药诱导的影响,家蚕5龄幼虫脂肪体蛋白的数目减少,烯醇酶基因在各组织器官减量表达,提示可能与蚕体的基础生理代谢受到抑制有关。
