Application of acoustic Doppler current profiler combined with a scientific echo sounder for krill Euphausia pacifica density estimation

ABSTRACT:   An application of the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP, 153.6 kHz) in combination with a scientific echo sounder (EK60, 38 and 200 kHz) was investigated to estimate the density of krill Euphausia pacifica . The acoustic backscattering strength from sound scattering layers was compared with biomass estimates from midwater trawls. Euphausia pacifica was targeted among mixed species populations in the sound scattering layer in the offshore Funka Bay area of Hokkaido, Japan. The frequency characteristics of acoustic backscattering by krill were calculated using a distorted wave Born approximation scattering model at three frequencies. Krill aggregations identified from the EK60 data were extracted as the mean volume backscattering strength difference between two frequencies. They were then used to identify similar aggregations in the ADCP data by matching observation times and depths for the two methods, which were applied simultaneously. Results from the comparison of the mean volume backscattering strength and the density calculated from the ADCP and EK60 showed that ADCP can be used to measure density and spatial–temporal distribution of krill aggregations. Current speed and direction at the study site were found to be 16.1 cm/s and 187.0°, respectively, and krill speed and direction (including the current component) were found to be 19.8 cm/s and 172.2°, respectively. Based on the ADCP data, the net speed and direction of the krill aggregations were found to be 5.9 cm/s and 128.0°, respectively.

羊痘的研究进展

羊痘病毒能引起山羊痘、绵羊痘和牛的结节性疹块病。羊痘是以发热、全身性的皮肤损伤、痘疹和淋巴结病变为特征。羊痘病毒是所有动物痘病毒中最为重要的一种，严重影响养羊业和国际贸易的发展。本文从病原学、流行病学、诊断和预防控制等方面对羊痘做一综述。虽然此病从临床症状和宿主特异性上很容易做出诊断，但进一步的实验室确诊还是必要的，现已有多种检测方法和诊断试剂。控制该病最有效的方法还是使用疫苗对易感动物进行免疫接种。

Response of CREG1 promoter to serum starvation in human vascular cells

AIM: In order to explore the regulatory mechanisms of the human cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (hCREG1) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)-HITASY and in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), we clone and construct hCREG1 promoter vector to detect its expression in different vascular cells. METHODS: With the results of biological information, the fragments including -3 677 bp, -2 310 bp and -945 bp upstream sequences of hCREG1 were amplified respectively using human genomic DNA template by PCR. The products were inserted into pMD18-T vector, and then were subcloned into pEGFP-1 report vector to obtain the pEGFP-hCREG1-promoter vectors. The pEGFP-hCREG1-P3677, pEGFP-hCREG1-P2310 and pEGFP-hCREG1-P945 vectors were transfected into HITASY cells and HUVECs transiently and the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was detected respectively by Western blotting and fluorescent microscope. RESULTS: It was confirmed that all three PCR fragments inserted into vectors were corrected by sequencing analysis. However, the expression of GFP was different significantly in both types of vascular cells. The expression of GFP in HUVECs was higher than that in HITASY cells. Meanwhile, the expression of GFP in HITASY cells with 0.5% FBS was increased obviously compared to that in HITASY cells with 10% FBS. CONCLUSION: The reporter vectors of hCREG1 promoter are constructed successfully in which the core promoter region might be located in -945 bp-0 bp of 5′ upstream sequences. This study will provide an experimental basis for exploring the regulation of hCREG1 expression.
