大骨鸡中MSTN基因表达规律性的研究

本实验以大骨鸡为试材,采用RT-PCR法检测了MSTN基因在大骨鸡不同器官、不同时间的表达情况,结果表明MSTN基因在骨骼肌中表达水平较高,在心肌、肾脏、脑、肠、舌中也有微量表达,但在肺、肝脏中未检测出MSTNmRNA,而且在14日龄时表达水平明显低于35日龄和56日龄,而且在孵化后一周时胸肌中MSTN基因的表达水平达到最低。     

摄入不同能量的围产期乳牛肝低密度脂蛋白受体mRNA丰度的比较

将30头健康、经产、处于围产期的黑白花乳牛随机分为3组，每组10头。从产前28d开始，低能量组乳牛饲喂《中国奶牛饲养标准（2000）》减少20％日粮（能量摄入80％），对照组乳牛饲喂《标准》日粮（能量摄入100％），高能量组乳牛饲喂《标准》增加20％日粮（能量摄入120％），产后各组乳牛均饲喂标准日粮。至产后第56d结束试验；采用内对照RT-PCR方法检测摄入不同能量的围产期乳牛肝活体组织低密度脂蛋白受体（LDLR）mRNA丰度。结果，不同能量组乳牛肝LDLR mRNA丰度产前至产后均呈现先升高后降低的趋势。100％和120％能量组肝LDLR mRNA丰度在产后14d达最大值，且产后均高于产前（产后56d除外，P〈0．01或P〈0．05）；而80％能量组产后1d即达到最大值，产前14d至产后14d，LDLR mRNA相对表达量显著高于100％和120％能量组；产后28～56d，120％能量组显著高于80％和100％能量组（P〈0．01）。表明围产期乳牛能量摄入水平对肝LDLR mRNA丰度有显著影响。     

Comparison of an in vitro and a damping-off assay to test soils for suppressiveness to Pythium aphanidermatum

Testing of soil samples in greenhouse assays for suppressiveness to soilborne plant pathogens requires a considerable investment in time and effort as well as large numbers of soil samples. To make it possible to process large numbers of samples efficiently, we compared an in vitro growth assay with a damping-off assay using Pythium aphanidermatum as the test organism on tomato seedlings. The in vitro test compares the radial growth or relative growth of the fungus in soil to that in autoclaved soil and reflects suppressiveness of soils to the pathogen. We used soils from a field experiment that had been farmed either organically or conventionally and into which a cover crop (oats and vetch in mixture) had been incorporated 0, 10, 21, and 35 days previously. We obtained a significant, positive correlation between damping-off severities of tomato seedlings in damping-off assays and both relative and radial growth in vitro. In addition, radial and relative growth of P. aphanidermatum in the in vitro assay were positively correlated with several carbon and nitrogen variables measured for soil and incorporated debris. We did not find differences between the two farming systems for either growth measures of P. aphanidermatum or disease severities on tomato at different stages of cover crop decomposition. The in vitro assay shows potential for use with any fungus that exhibits rapid saprophytic growth, and is most suitable for routine application in suppressiveness testing.

两种一步法RNA提取试剂的比较

RNA的提取在生物医学研究和临床检测上应用广泛。本文分别用进口Invitrogen公司生产的以及我们自己研制的一步法RNA提取试剂，提取大肠杆菌RNA、鸡肌肉组织RNA和尿囊液RNA，通过核酸电泳和荧光定量RT-PCR进行比较。结果表明用我们自己研制的和进口的试剂提取的RNA都不含有DNA；这些RNA都可以作为模板进行RT-PCR检测，并且在数量上相互之间没有明显差异。说明我们自己研制的一步法RNA提取试剂可以取代进口试剂。此外，本文还讨论了此类试剂一些评定方法。     

口蹄疫与经典猪瘟二联RT-PCR诊断方法的建立及其应用

根据口蹄疫病毒(FMDV)与猪瘟病毒(CSFV)基因组序列高度保守区,设计合成2对引物,以CSFV和FMDV培养物提取RNA并反转录,进行RT-PCR特异性片段扩增,扩增片段大小分别为200 bp、141 bp.结果表明,扩增产物与设计的2对引物之间的序列大小一致.通过特异性与敏感性试验,CSFV与FMDV培养物均可扩增至10-5倍稀释,最终建立的二联RT-PCR方法对上述2种病毒的敏感性亦可达10-4倍稀释,约10 pg的总RNA,证明本法对上述2种病毒具有快速、特异和高度敏感的特点.
