Comparison of kinetic properties of a hydrophilic form of acetylcholinesterase purified from strains susceptible and resistant to carbamate and organophosphorus insecticides of green rice leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler)

A hydrophilic form of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was purified from N-methyl carbamate susceptible (SA) and highly N-methyl carbamate-resistant (N3D) strains of the green rice leafhopper (GRLH), Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler. Both of purified AChE from SA and N3D strains displayed the highest activities toward acetylthiocholine (ATCh) at pH 8.5. In the SA strain, the optimum concentrations for ATCh, propionylthiocholine (PTCh), and butyrylthiocholine (BTCh) were about 1 × 10⁻³, 2.5 × 10⁻³, and 1 × 10⁻³ M, respectively. However, in the N3D strain, substrate inhibition was not identified for ATCh, PTCh, and BTCh to 1 × 10⁻² M. The K_m value in the SA strain was 51.1, 39.1, and 41.6 μM and that in the N3D strain was 91.8, 88.1, and 85.2 μM for ATCh, PTCh, and BTCh, respectively. The K_m value in the N3D strain indicated about 1.80-, 2.25-, and 2.05-fold lower affinity than that of the SA strain for ATCh, PTCh, and BTCh, respectively. The V_max value in the SA strain was 70.2, 30.5, and 4.6 U/mg protein and that in the N3D strain was 123.0, 27.0, and 14.5 U/mg protein for ATCh, PTCh, and BTCh, respectively. The V_max value in the N3D strain was 1.75- and 3.15-fold higher for ATCh and BTCh than that in the N3D strain. However, it was 1.13-fold lower for PTCh. The increased activity of AChE in the N3D strain is due to the qualitatively modified enzyme with a higher catalytic efficiency. The bimolecular rate constant (k_i) for propoxur was 27.1 × 10⁴ and 0.51 × 10⁴ M⁻¹ min⁻¹ in the SA and N3D strain and that for monocrotophos was 0.031 × 10⁴ and 2.0 × 10⁴ M⁻¹ min⁻¹ in the SA and N3D strain. AChE from the N3D strain was 53-fold less sensitive than SA strain to inhibition by propoxur. In contrast, AChE from the N3D strain was 65-fold more sensitive to inhibition by monocrotophos than AChE from the SA strain. This indicated negatively correlated cross-insensitivity of AChE to propoxur and monocrotophos.

Feeding fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) with either barley straw or pasture silage to non-lactating dairy cows

AIMS: To determine the suitability of diets containing either approximately 85% fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) with barley straw or 65% fodder beet with pasture silage when fed to non-lactating dairy cows, by measuring intakes, digestibility, rumen function including microbial growth, and N excretion.

METHODS: Holstein-Friesian cows fitted with permanent rumen fistulae were fed either 65% fodder beet with pasture silage (Silage; n=8) or 85% fodder beet with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) straw (Straw; n=8) in an indoor facility over a 9-day period, for measurement of intakes, digestibility, rumen function and urine production. The cows were adapted to the diets over 2 weeks before the indoor measurements. Feed was available for about 6 hours/day, as practiced commercially for wintering non-lactating cows.

RESULTS: Five cows fed the Straw diet had to be removed from the trial because of acute acidosis; four on Day 1 of the measurement period and one on Day 7. One cow allocated to the Silage diet refused to eat fodder beet bulbs and was also removed from the trial. Two cows fed the Silage diet were also treated for acidosis. DM intakes were lower with the Straw than Silage diets (6.4 (SE 0.4) vs. 8.3 (SE 0.5) kg/day) and organic matter (OM) digestibility was lower with the Straw than Silage diets (77 (SE 1) vs. 83 (SE 1) g/100g). The N content of the two diets was 1.14 and 1.75?g/100?g DM and there was a net loss of N by cows fed the Straw diet (?22.7 (SE 7) g/day). Rumen microbial N production was much lower in cows fed the Straw than the Silage diet (6.6 (SE 1.3) vs. 15.8 (SE 0.7) g microbial N/kg digestible OM intake). Concentrations of ammonia in rumen liquid collected on Days 5–6 were below detection limits (<0.1?mmol/L) in 36/48 (75%) samples collected from cows fed the Straw diet and in 27/48 (56%) cows fed the Silage diet. Mean urinary N excretion was lower in cows fed the Straw than the Silage diet (52.0 (SE 5.8) vs. 87.7 (SE 5.9) g/day).

CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVENCE: An over-wintering diet for dry cows comprising about 65% fodder beet with 35% pasture silage provided adequate nutrition, although there was some risk of acidosis. In contrast, the diet containing about 85% fodder beet with barley straw resulted in lower DM intakes, poor rumen function, negative N balance so that both nutrition and welfare were compromised.     

陕北黄土丘陵沟壑区退耕还林对粮食安全的影响——以榆林市米脂县为例

以榆林市米脂县为例,选择最小人均耕地面积和耕地压力指数模型对其退耕还林工程实施前后的粮食生产进行了对比分析;以1995~2005年的统计数据为基础,运用GM(1,1)模型预测了该县2010年的粮食供需前景。研究结果表明:与退耕前相比,米脂县的最小人均耕地面积减少了25.15%,耕地压力指数增加了7.99%;粮食供需预测显示,2010年米脂县粮食总供给量为42522 t,当人均粮食需求量分别为190kg、230kg、260kg时,粮食总需求量为39847 t、48236 t、54527 t,粮食盈余率为6.29%、-13.44%、-28.23%。这说明在低的需求下,目前退耕还林工程没有对该县的粮食安全构成较大威胁,但随着需求水平提高粮食安全威胁迅速加大。因此,决不能对粮食安全放松警惕,并据此提出了保证未来粮食安全的有效途径。

我国蜂蜜出口中的绿色壁垒影响剖析

近年来我国蜂蜜出口屡屡遭遇发达国家设置的绿色壁垒。对此应该冷静客观审视：正当合理的绿色壁垒对我国蜂蜜出口有着积极的导向作用。从长期来看,这种导向作用必定会促使我国蜂蜜出口竞争力大大提升;但是短期内绿色壁垒对我国蜂蜜出口实际造成一定消极影响。为此,应该采取积极主动的生产与贸易对策。     

脑心肌炎增强型绿色荧光蛋白嵌合病毒的构建

携带增强型绿色荧光蛋白(Enhanced green fluorescent protein, EGFP)的脑心肌炎(Encephalomyocarditis virus, EMCV)嵌合病毒是研究该病毒体内外生物学特性的有力工具。因此,本研究基于前期构建的巨细胞病毒(Cytomegalovirus, CMV)感染性克隆,在EMCV基因组2A蛋白序列之后插入EGFP基因片段,并将重组质粒转染BHK-21细胞,获得携带EGFP的嵌合病毒。通过荧光定量PCR(real-time PCR)、间接免疫荧光(Indirect immunofluorescence assay, IFA)及半数组织细胞感染量测定(Median tissue culture infective dose, TCID₅₀)等方法对拯救病毒的基因组复制、蛋白表达及病毒粒子的感染性进行测定,结果证实嵌合病毒能够在BHK-21细胞上成功表达EGFP并产生完整的病毒粒子。然而,相较于野生型亲本拯救病毒,嵌合病毒在BHK-21细胞上的复制能力降低,并且在连续传代后逐渐失去绿色荧光信号,表明嵌合病毒中EGFP...     

福建鳗鲡产业发展形势分析

为建立美洲鳗鲡腺瘤病毒 (AEAdoV)的检测方法,根据AEAdoV福建株 (AEAdoV-FJ)的superfamily 3 helicases (S3H)序列,设计引物,建立了AEAdoV的普通PCR和qPCR检测方法;进一步评价检测方法的灵敏性、特异性及重复性,利用2种方法对美洲鳗鲡“出血性烂鳃”病料进行了检测,并对美洲鳗鲡体内不同组织的病毒含量进行分析。结果显示,普通PCR扩增的目的片段长度约300 bp,利用其构建的qPCR质粒标准品,其拷贝数与qPCR阈值循环数(C_t)线性关系良好,线性范围广,标准曲线相关系数(R²)达到0.999,扩增效率为105.067%。建立的普通PCR法和qPCR的最低检测AEAdoV拷贝数分别为100个和10个。2种方法均可特异性检测AEAdoV,而对蛙虹彩病毒 (RGV)、鳗鲡疱疹病毒 (AngHV)、鲤疱疹病毒 (KHV)、对虾白斑综合征病毒 (WSSV)、日本鳗鲡内皮细胞坏死病毒(JEAdoV)和花鳗鲡腺瘤病毒(MEAdoV)均无扩增反应。qPCR法的组内和组间变异系数均小于2%,表明其重复性良好。临床应用结果显示,35份美洲鳗鲡“出血性烂鳃”病料,采用普通PCR法的AEAdoV检出率为82.8%,而qPCR法的AEAdoV检出率为97%。对美洲鳗鲡不同组织的病毒含量分析结果显示,心脏、肝脏、鳃、鳍的AEAdoV相对含量较高,而黏液、皮肤和脾脏的病毒含量相对较低。研究表明,建立的AEAdoV的灵敏度高、特异性强的普通PCR和qPCR检测方法,证实AEAdoV与美洲鳗鲡“出血性烂鳃”病密切相关,且在感染鳗鲡主要组织中都存在。实验结果对于研究AEAdoV的致病性,开展其流行情况和病原学情况分析具有重要意义。
