取单层生长良好的脂肪细胞，采用单因素试验，分别添加浓度为5ng／mL外源牛重组瘦蛋白（每12h添加1次）不添加作为对照至4、12、24、36、48和72h后提取总RNA，每个处理3个重复（孔），应用竞争RT-PCR法检测外源瘦蛋白对初生犊牛脂肪细胞Leptin长型受体（Ob—Rb）表达水平的影响，结果与对照组相比在12～24h内随着培养时间的增加，脂肪细胞Ob—Rb表达水平量亦显著增加（P〈0．01），之后其表达量逐渐回降，在48～72h趋于平稳（P〉0．05）。结果表明，在一定时间内瘦蛋白可提高体外培养的新生牛脂肪细胞Ob-Rb mRNA的表达水平。     

内蒙古天然草地退化成因的多因素灰色关联分析

选取内蒙古草地典型草原、草甸草原及农牧交错带典型区,通过对区域内影响草地退化的社会、经济和环境等因素进行定性分析,应用灰色系统理论的关联分析方法,以草地退化面积为参考数列,以牧草生长季积温、降水变率和年大风日数等气候因子,草地超载比例、人工种草与围栏草场面积、年割草量、畜棚与畜圈面积和牧民人均收入等人类活动因子作为比较数列,对草地退化进行了多因素关联分析。研究结果客观、定量地揭示了草地退化与各因素间的相互关系,认为草地生态系统的退化受损是气候变化和人类活动共同胁迫的结果,人类对草地的管理方式对草地生态系统具有巨大影响,人类可以通过多种管理措施来减轻牲畜对草场的压力,积极解决人与资源的平衡。     

不同体外培养条件对家兔早期囊胚贴壁行为的影响

采集家兔自然交配后96h的早期囊胚，以低糖DMEM＋150mL／L胎牛血清＋0．1mmol／L非必需氨基酸＋100IU／mL青霉素＋100IU／mL链霉素为基础培养基，比较了不同胚胎处理方法、不同饲养层以及培养液中添加不同成分对兔早期囊胚贴壁和增殖的影响，以完善兔胚胎干细胞的建系方法。结果表明，以胚胎分割法和链霉蛋白酶-E（proteinaseE）处理掉黏蛋白及部分透明带的胚胎容易贴壁和增殖；在小鼠成纤维细胞饲养层和兔胎儿成纤维细胞饲养层上，胚胎的脱带率差别不大，但在小鼠成纤维细胞饲养层上贴壁率明显提高，且贴壁后内细胞团增殖较快；添加胰岛素、白血病抑制因子和伊巯基乙醇均利于抑制ES的分化和促进内细胞团的增殖。

Influence of dietary lysine level on whole-body protein turnover, plasma IGF-I, GH and insulin concentration in growing pigs

Four growing pigs (initial liveweight 25.9 ± 0.54 kg, final liveweight 43.0 ± 1.06 kg) were used to study the effect of dietary lysine level on nutrient digestibility, whole-body protein turnover, plasma insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), growth hormone (GH), insulin, glucose, and urea nitrogen (PUN). Four diets, containing 7.0 g (L1), 9.5 g (L2), 12.0 g (L3) and 14.5 g (L4) lysine per kg diet respectively, were formulated as experimental treatments. The animals and diets were allocated in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. Nitrogen (N) metabolism and whole-body protein turnover were measured by classical method and single-dose ¹⁵N end-product method, respectively. The blood samples were taken at the end of each experimental period. Results showed that N retention (NR) and N biological value (NBV) were significantly increased from L1 to L4 (P < 0.05). However, differences in NR and NBV between L2, L3 and L4 were not significant (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference on dry matter (DM) digestibility, organic matter (OM) digestibility and N digestibility between different treatments (P > 0.05). Whole-body protein synthesis, protein degradation and protein accretion increased markedly from L1 to L2 (P < 0.05), but did not increase further from L2 to L4. Whole-body protein accretion (y, g/kg W^0.75/d) increased with dietary lysine (x, g/kg) in a quadratic manner: y = − 0.09x² + 2.12x − 5.14 (r² = 0.96, n = 4, P < 0.05).The results also showed that differences in plasma IGF-I, GH, glucose and PUN concentration between different treatments were not significant (P > 0.05). Plasma insulin concentration (y, μIU/ml) was increased with dietary lysine (x, g/kg) in a quadratic manner: y = 0.23x² − 4.10x + 32.25 (r² = 0.99, n = 4, P < 0.05), but it was not found that plasma insulin concentration was related to NR. A significant correlation was found between NR (y, g/d) and plasma IGF-I (x, ng/ml): y = − 3.1 × 10^− 3x² + 1.31x − 122.28 (r² = 0.99, n = 4, P < 0.05).It was concluded that dietary lysine level had a significant influence on NR and whole-body protein turnover but not on plasma IGF-I and GH concentration. Plasma IGF-I may be an important factor controlling N metabolism of growing pigs. Further research was needed to study the mechanism.     

成年发情期奶山羊下丘脑催产素及其mRNA的表达

应用免疫组织化学SP法和原位杂交法研究了催产素（oxytocin，OT）及OT mRNA在成年发情期奶山羊下丘脑中的分布和表达。结果，OT免疫反应阳性细胞主要分布在视上核和室旁核，在视上弥散核、弓状核、室周核和乳头体各核团也存在免疫阳性神经元；在室旁核、视上弥散核、正中隆起和第三脑室附近有较多数量的强阳性神经纤维，在交叉上核有少量阳性神经纤维。在下丘脑23个核团（区）中均能检测出OT mRNA的阳性细胞。结果表明，OT和OT mRNA在下丘脑中分布广泛，且OT可能通过轴突传递和血液运输，将OT mRNA合成的OT运送到别的核团；OT在奶山羊发情过程中发挥了重要作用。     

中链脂肪酸对体外发酵甲烷产量的影响

利用人工瘤胃体外产气法研究不同精粗比(0:1和1:1)日粮类型时中链脂肪酸对甲烷产量的影响。结果显示,体外培养24h,添加脂肪酸对甲烷产量的抑制作用不受日粮类型的影响(P>0.05);与不添加酸的对照相比,添加50mg未酯化月桂酸(C12:0)及月桂酸和肉豆蔻酸(C14:0)以3:2的比例组成的混合物(50mg)可分别抑制甲烷产量的22.2%(P<0.01)和11.8%(P<0.05);添加50 mg未酯化C14:0使甲烷产量降低3.4%(P>0.05);不同日粮类型上饲料产气量、瘤胃液pH值和氨氮浓度差异显著(P<0.01)。     

菊粉体外培养猪鲜粪对其微生物数量的影响

通过体外培养法探讨菊粉对猪鲜粪培养物pH和其中微生物数量的影响。试验设计0、1、2、4、6和8g／L6个菊粉水平分别进行体外厌氧培养生长猪鲜粪，24h后测定培养基pH、大肠杆菌、乳酸杆菌、双歧杆菌和总细菌数量的变化。结果表明，随着菊粉添加水平的增加，培养物pH和大肠杆菌数直线下降（P〈O．001），而乳酸杆菌、双歧杆菌以及总细菌数则直线上升（P〈0．01或P=0．059）。提示菊粉可促进猪鲜粪培养物中乳酸杆菌、双歧杆菌的增殖，抑制大肠杆菌的滋长，从而使总细菌数增加，pH下降，并具有剂量应答关系。     

The effect of dietary crude protein concentration and inulin supplementation on nitrogen excretion and intestinal microflora from finisher pigs

A 2 × 2 factorial experiment was used to investigate the interaction between dietary crude protein (CP) concentration (200 vs 140 g/kg) and inulin supplementation (0 vs 12.5 g/kg) on nitrogen (N) excretion and intestinal microflora from 16 boars (n = 4, 74.0 kg live weight). The diets were formulated to contain similar concentrations of digestible energy and lysine. Pigs offered the high CP diets had a higher excretion of urinary N (P < 0.01), faecal N (P < 0.01) and total N (P < 0.001) than the pigs offered the low CP diets. Inulin supplementation increased faecal N excretion (P < 0.05) and decreased urine: faeces N ratio (P < 0.05) compared to the inulin free diets. There was no significant effect (P > 0.05) of dietary treatment on N retention. There was an interaction (P < 0.05) between dietary CP concentration and inulin supplementation on caecal E.coli. Pigs offered the diet containing 200 g/kg CP plus inulin decreased the population of E.coli compared to the inulin supplemented 140 g/kg protein diet. However, CP concentration had no significant effect on the population of E.coli in the unsupplemented diets. Inulin supplementation increased caecal bifidobacteria (P < 0.01) compared to the inulin free diets. In conclusion, inulin supplementation favourably altered N excretion and lowered the population of E.coli at high CP concentrations.     

Dietary fibre and indigestible protein increase ileal glycoprotein output without impacting colonic crypt goblet cells in weaned piglets

Mucus plays an important role in gut health by favouring colonisation resistance. The aim of this study was to quantify the impact of fibre and protein on mucin recovery in ileal digesta and on goblet cell histochemistry in the proximal colon. A control diet with highly digestible protein and low fibre and three complex diets containing indigestible protein associated with low, soluble or insoluble fibre sources were tested for 14 days in piglets weaned at 28 days of age. Mucin concentration was determined by ethanol precipitation. Goblet cell subtypes in colonic crypts were analysed by histochemistry. The ileal mucin output was higher with the complex diets than with the control diet (31.6 on average vs 21.7 g/kg DM intake). Increases observed with the low and soluble fibre diets were similar (34 g/kg DM intake). This suggests a limited effect of soluble fibre in presence of indigestible protein. Surprisingly, the observed increase was lower with insoluble fibre (27.2 g/kg DM intake). DM and N output and digestibility were not affected by the diets, but a linear relationship was found between DM and mucin output. In proximal colon, crypt depth, goblet cell numbers per crypt and glycosylation subtypes were not affected by the diet suggesting no change in the capacity of mucus to protect the gut. To conclude, introducing highly indigestible protein in the diet increased ileal mucin output, without effects of these factors on crypt goblet cell patterns in the proximal colon. Introducing fibre in a diet containing highly indigestible protein had a marginal effect.
