Simultaneous application of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor inhibitor PTK787/ZK 222584 and ionizing radiation does not further reduce the growth of canine oral melanoma xenografts in nude mice

PTK787/ZK 222584 is an inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases. In this study, the effectiveness of PTK787/ZK 222584 and radiation on canine oral melanoma xenografts was assessed. Xenografts were treated with radiotherapy (4x6Gy), or with PTK787/ZK 222584, or with a combination of both. Treatment efficacy was assessed using a tumour growth delay assay, serial power Doppler and pO(2) measurements during and after therapy. There was a significant growth delay for the group treated with radiation alone and for the combined treatment group. However, tumour growth delay was similar in both groups. Tumours were hypoxic before irradiation and no significant re-oxygenation occurred during therapy. In all tumours, vascularity and perfusion were significantly lower at the end of the study but no significant differences in perfusion, vascularity and oxygenation status were observed between and within treatment groups. The combination of PTK787/ZK 222584 and radiotherapy did not perform better than radiotherapy alone in this model.     

Histone H4 Modification During Mouse Spermatogenesis

The core histone is composed of four proteins (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Investigation of the modification patterns of histones is critical to understanding their roles in biological processes. Although histone modification is observed in multiple cells and tissues, little is known about its function in spermatogenesis. We focused on the modification patterns of histone H4 during murine spermatogenesis. We demonstrated that the individual N-terminal sites of H4 show different modification patterns during the differentiation of male germ cells. The methylation pattern varied depending on the residues that were mono-, di-, or tri-methylated. All the H4 modifications were high during the meiotic prophase, suggesting that histone H4 modification plays an important role during this stage of spermatogenesis. Elongating spermatids showed increased acetylation of histone H4, which may be associated with a histone-to-protamine substitution. Our results provide further insight into the specific relationship between histone H4 modification and gene expression during spermatogenesis, which could help to elucidate the epigenetic disorders underlying male infertility.

AOS-80空气净化机对冬季鸡舍空气的净化作用

在有窗或无窗密闭式鸡舍中,舍内产生的有毒有害气体、微生物和粉尘对鸡的健康与生产性能有很大的影响。本研究选用AOS-80空气净化机,测定其对冬季蛋鸡舍空气的净化效果。选取尺寸、样式和饲养密度等完全相同的2栋蛋鸡舍做对比试验,2栋鸡舍通风采用自动控制装置。在试验鸡舍的屋架上按米字形均匀安装6台净化机,测定2栋鸡舍舍内有毒有害气体和空气细菌总数的浓度。结果表明:2栋鸡舍在适当通风条件下(使舍内温度维持在(15±0.1)℃,对照鸡舍和试验鸡舍的空气细菌总数平均浓度分别为33.3cfu/L和10.6cfu/L(P<0.01),净化机使之降低68.2%;NH3的平均浓度分别为1.71mg/m3和1.22mg/m(3P<0.01),净化机使之降低28.6%;H2S的平均浓度分别为0.670mg/m3和0.643mg/m3(P<0.05),净化机使之降低4.03%;蛋鸡平均周死亡率分别为0.997%和0.607%(P<0.01),净化机使之降低39.0%。本研究结果表明,舍内安装空气净化机能显著降低鸡舍空气细菌总数和有毒有害气体浓度,降低蛋鸡死亡率。     

Immunomodulatory effects of β-glucans on porcine alveolar macrophages and bone marrow haematopoietic cell-derived dendritic cells

The immunopharmacological activities of β-glucans with a backbone of β-1,3/β-1,6-linkages associated with anti-tumor, anti-viral, bacterial and fungal infections have been well documented. Dectin-1, a specific pattern recognition receptor for β-1,3/β-1,6-glucans, is expressed mainly on phagocytes, especially macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, the encoding nucleotide for the carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) of porcine dectin-1 was sequenced for the first time, and the immunomodulatory functions of a synthetic particulate β-glucan (p-β-glucan) were examined. Results showed that p-β-glucan significantly enhanced cell activity and phagocytosis in porcine alveolar macrophages (AMs), immature DCs (imDCs) and mature DCs (mDCs), in a similar way to zymosan. Zymosan enhanced dectin-1/TLR2/TLR4 expression and TNF-α/IL-10 production in all of three types of cell, whereas p-β-glucan increased dectin-1/TLR4 and TNF-α/IL-12 production in AMs but inhibited IL-10 in mDCs. These results indicate that the complex collaborating interactions between dectin-1 and TLRs in the recognition of β-1,3/β-1,6-glucans with different structural features may direct different cellular responses.     

不同咸蛋腌制温度对禽流感毒灭活的影响

经人工接种H9亚型禽流感病毒(AIV)的鸭蛋,分别在12℃、22℃和32℃条件下按常规方法腌制于饱和盐水中,同时以置饱和盐水中的禽流感病毒和未经处理禽流感病毒样品作为对照,通过MDCK细胞培养、间接免疫荧光方法定期进行禽流感病毒毒力测定,结果在12℃、22℃和32℃条件下腌制鸭蛋中的禽流感病毒分别于49天、27天和4天失去毒力,置饱和盐水中的禽流感病毒分别在27天、9天和2天失去毒力,而未经处理的禽流感病毒分别在92天、29天和17天失去毒力;不同试验温度条件下,以荧光RT-PCR检测腌制鸭蛋和对照样品中的禽流感病毒,在100天后仍可检出病毒核酸(Ct<30)。以上检测结果表明,在腌制鸭蛋时于常温下置饱和盐水腌制40天以上的传统咸蛋生产工艺,可使禽流感病毒完全失去毒力,腌制的鲜咸蛋携带或传播禽流感病毒的风险极低或不存在风险。
