Prior infection with antigenically heterologous low pathogenic avian influenza viruses interferes with the lethality of the H5 highly pathogenic strain in domestic ducks

Low and highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIVs and HPAIVs, respectively) have been co-circulating in poultry populations in Asian, Middle Eastern, and African countries. In our avian-flu surveillance in Vietnamese domestic ducks, viral genes of LPAIV and HPAIV have been frequently detected in the same individual. To assess the influence of LPAIV on the pathogenicity of H5 HPAIV in domestic ducks, an experimental co-infection study was performed. One-week-old domestic ducks were inoculated intranasally and orally with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (control) or 10⁶ EID₅₀ of LPAIVs (A/duck/Vietnam/LBM678/2014 (H6N6) or A/Muscovy duck/Vietnam/LBM694/2014 (H9N2)). Seven days later, these ducks were inoculated with HPAIV (A/Muscovy duck/Vietnam/LBM808/2015 (H5N6)) in the same manner. The respective survival rates were 100% and 50% in ducks pre-infected with LBM694 or LBM678 strains and both higher than the survival of the control group (25%). The virus titers in oral/cloacal swabs of each LPAIV pre-inoculation group were significantly lower at 3–5 days post-HPAIV inoculation. Notably, almost no virus was detected in swabs from surviving individuals of the LBM678 pre-inoculation group. Antigenic cross-reactivity among the viruses was not observed in the neutralization test. These results suggest that pre-infection with LPAIV attenuates the pathogenicity of HPAIV in domestic ducks, which might be explained by innate and/or cell-mediated immunity induced by the initial infection with LPAIV.     

Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Miticidal 4,5-Dihydropyrazole-5-thiones

A series of novel 4,5-dihydropyrazole-5-thiones (DHPs) was synthesised by treating the corresponding dihydropyrazolones with ‘Lawesson’s reagent and evaluated for miticidal activity against two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch). Of these, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-5-thione, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-ethyl-4-methyl-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-5-thione, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazole-5-thione-4-spirocyclopentane and 4,4-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-4,5-dihydropyrazole-5-thione were highly active (pEC₅₀>4·0) and were more effective than the miticide dicofol (pEC₅₀=3·879), which has traditionally been used for the control of phytophagous mites. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies were performed on each position of the pyrazole ring of DHPs. The results indicated that the unsubstituted phenyl, 4-substituted phenyl and thioxo groups on the 1-, 3- and 5-positions of DHPs respectively were required for activity. Quantitative SAR studies using physicochemical parameters of substituents and the capacity factor k′ as a hydrophobicity index suggested that: (a) the activities of all types of DHPs examined were mainly dominated by hydrophobicity, (b) the bulkiness of 4-substituents of the 3-phenyl ring favoured the activity and (c) the log k′ optimum for all DHPs was 1·675, equivalent to a log P_ow value of c. 5·0.     

Synthesis and Anthelmintic Activity of 7-Hydroxy- 5-oxo-5H-thieno[3,2-b]pyran-6-carboxanilides and -6-thiocarboxanilides

7-Hydroxy-5-oxo-5H-thieno[3,2-b]pyran-6-carboxanilides and -6-thio-carboxanilides represent a novel series of anthelmintic compounds, with broad-spectrum activity against important parasitic nematodes in sheep and dogs. In particular, an improved efficacy against Trichostrongylus colubriformis in sheep over the related 3-carbamoyl-4-hydroxycoumarins has been noted. New synthetic routes to the key intermediate, 7-hydroxythieno[3,2-b]pyran-5-one, have been developed.     

利杂犊牛小肠各段长度与黏膜结构的发育学变化

利用图像分析法研究1月龄,4月龄和6月龄健康利杂犊牛小肠结构的发育形态变化。结果显示,犊牛小肠各段在不同的月龄,其长度变化差异显著(P<0.05);不同月龄犊牛的十二指肠、空肠、回肠的黏膜厚度、肌层厚度不同程度的增加且差异极显著(P<0.01);从1月龄至6月龄,十二指肠、回肠绒毛长度分别增加45.7%和8.0%;而空肠的绒毛以4月龄最长(392.48μm),绒毛高度/隐窝深度(V/C)值以4月龄的最大(2.63),且与1月龄和6月龄时比较差异极显著(P<0.01),但1月龄与6月龄相比较差异不显著(P>0.05)。结果提示,6月龄前犊牛小肠黏膜结构变化较大,犊牛断奶合理日龄应进一步研究。

5-氮胞苷对籼稻成熟胚愈伤组织生长和再分化的影响及诱变效应

用5-氮胞苷(5-azaC)处理籼型三系杂交水稻恢复系“明恢63”、“密阳46”和“特青2号”成熟胚诱导产生的愈伤组织,当5-azaC浓度为0.1mmol/L时,愈伤组织的增殖明显受抑;当5-azaC浓度达1.0mmol/L时,愈伤组织增殖率下降50%以上;5-azaC浓度提高到1.5mmol/L时,愈伤组织增殖率仅及对照的20%。分化阶段愈伤组织对5-azaC更敏感,当5-azaC的浓度为0.02mmol/L时,愈伤组织的再分化率明显下降,且随5-azaC浓度的增加,再分化率也显著下降,当5-azaC的浓度为0.2mmol/L时,各试验品种的愈伤组织的再分化力完全受抑,不能分化出幼苗。经5-azaC处理的愈伤组织再分化力也下降,但经预分化培养后分化力可恢复到较高水平。经5-azaC处理的愈伤组织再生植株产生了性状变异,出现了白化苗、矮秆、迟熟和早熟等变异体,当代的突变率为3.03%~5.31%。突变性状表现为单基因隐性突变,可稳定遗传。
