Effect of the Pietrain breed used as terminal boar on Post-weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) in the offspring in four PMWS-affected farms

The aim of this study was to determine the potential risk factors for PMWS at the individual pig level and assess the effect of the Pietrain paternal genetic background of the animals in a cohort study. The survey was set up in four PMWS-affected farms with 2 repetitions (batches) per farm. A representative sample of 60 pigs per batch, stratified according to the paternal genetic background (Pietrain: yes vs. no), was randomly selected after farrowing. The representative cohort was divided into 8 batches and the pigs were individually monitored from birth to slaughter. Survival analysis was used to determine the factors related to the time to PMWS. The litter-cluster effect was taken into account using the marginal Cox model (robust estimation of the covariance matrix) and the gamma shared frailty model which were compared.No protective effect of the Pietrain breed on the time to PMWS and the proportion of affected pigs in the offspring was found in this study. Piglets showing low circovirus type 2 (PCV2) titres at 7 weeks-old with no subsequent seroconversion and piglets from PCV2 negative sows were most likely to be affected by PMWS (HR=7.0 and 2.8, respectively). Active infection of the pregnant dams with parvovirus was related to an increased risk of PMWS in the offspring (HR=2.3). Neck injuries due to poorly performed injections in the dams were associated with an increased risk of PMWS with the marginal model (HR=2.1). Oxytocin injection (dams) during farrowing was protective against PMWS in the offspring (HR=0.6).     

PRRS ELISA试剂盒检测猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒抗体的应用

利用重组杆状病毒表达的PRRSV核衣壳蛋白作抗原制成ELISA诊断试剂盒，检测人工感染PRRSV猪血清、疫苗免疫抗体和田间血清，并与IDEXX公司生产的试剂盒进行比较。结果表明，该试剂盒在PRRSV感染后8天内就可检出感染性抗体，而用IDEXX公司生产的试剂盒在感染后的18天才检测到感染性抗体，对弱毒疫苗的免疫检测也基本能反映出疫苗的免疫应答状况。对华东地区PRRSV流行病学调查结果表明，PRRSV在国内普遍存在，同时也证明研制的试剂盒，是客观科学调查我国PRRS流行情较理想的检测工具。     

肉仔鸡低血糖-尖峰死亡综合征的流行病学分析和病原初探

自2003年6月份以来，在我国北方肉鸡饲养基地普遍流行了一种主要侵害肉仔鸡的疾病，低血糖-尖峰死亡综合征(HSMS)。HSMS发病日龄集中于10～18日龄．临床表现为突然出现的高死亡率，病鸡头部震颤、运动失调、昏迷、失明、死亡。先后对黑龙江、吉林、辽宁、内蒙古、天津、河北、山东等省进行调查．发现HSMS在这几个省的很多肉鸡饲养区广泛存在。对发生该病的259个肉鸡饲养户的调查结果显示．该病与祖代种鸡没有关系．病原可能来自受污染的父母代种鸡场。平均发病率为17．9％。发病鸡群血糖浓度极显著的下降。从2个发病鸡群的病鸡肠道内容物中观察到病毒颗粒．病毒呈多形性．有囊膜，直径约80-100nm，表面有棒状纤突，长约10-20nm．与冠状病毒类似。     

The effect of glucocorticoid receptor on level of inflammatory media in rats after critical scald

AIM:To further elaborate the effect of glucocorticoid receptor(GR) decrease on level of inflammatory media in rats after critical scald.METHOD:The changes of phospholipase A₂(PLA₂) activity and concentrations of tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNFα) and malondialdehyde (MDA), the product of lipid peroxidation metabolism in plasma and tissue homogenate have been studied in scalded rats with or without GR blockade by RU38486.RESULTS:The PLA₂ activity and the concentrations of TNFα and MDA in plasma and homogenate of pulmonary and renal tissue in scalded rats were significantly higher than those in the controls(P＜0.01) and further increased in scalded rats accompanied with GR blockade (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).CONCLUSION: Blockade of GR might aggravate the increase of inflammatory mediator caused by scalding. It suggested that GR might potentiate anti-inflammation in scald.     

3种来源的野生斑节对虾携带病毒情况调查

利用PCR方法,对2008年取自3个斑节对虾主产地（中国、泰国、非洲）的野生斑节对虾亲虾进行主要病毒病筛查。在所检测的210例野生亲虾样本中,均发现携带白斑综合征病毒（WSSV）、传染性皮下及造血组织坏死病毒（IHHNV）或斑节对虾杆状病毒（MBV）的阳性样本,其中泰国来源的斑节对虾亲虾WSSV携带率最高,达到89.8%,而中国来源的斑节对虾亲虾IHHNV携带率最高,为8.8%。12例样本同时检测出WSSV和IHHNV（阳性率为5.7%）。该结果揭示3种来源的斑节对虾亲虾普遍携带WSSV和IHHNV,其中WSSV仍然是感染斑节对虾的主要病原。调查结果增进了对斑节对虾主产区野生亲虾健康状况的了解,并在一定程度上揭示了WSSV感染的新规律。

证素辨证与数字中医药

辨证论治是中医学的主要特色,但是由于传统的辨证论治体系中各种辨证方法很难"求同存异",对于"证本质"的研究很难"以偏概全",临床惯用辨病论治替代辨证论治等弊端,限制了中医辨证学的发展。在此背景下,朱文锋教授创造性地提出了证素辨证体系,该体系通过全面收集内、外、妇、儿科等临床常见证候,并使之规范化和数量化,明确了病位证素和病性证素两大基本辨证要素。证素辨证思想体系是发展数字中医药的基础,是沟通中医药与现代科学技术的关键理论。本文结合证素辨证体系思想,提出了构建数字中医药创新研究的基本思路和框架,对促进中医药现代化研究具有重要的指导意义。     

一例猪繁殖与呼吸综合征高致病性毒株与链球菌混合感染的实验室诊断

某规模化自繁自养猪场产房母猪出现流产,保育猪关节肿胀、倒地不起、大量死亡,为研究发病原因,采集流产胎儿、死亡仔猪的肺脏、脾脏、淋巴结和关节液,进行分子生物学检测,病毒和细菌分离鉴定,并检测不同胎龄母猪猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒抗体,结果显示猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒检测为阳性,使用PAM分离到一株猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒,经序列鉴定为高致病性毒株;抗体结果表明四胎及以上母猪猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒抗体阳性率异常升高;病料分离的细菌经鉴定为猪链球菌,经实验室诊断确定猪场发病的原因为猪繁殖与呼吸综合征高致病性毒株与猪链球菌混合感染。     

自然养殖水体投喂CpG ODN和表面展示VP28的解脂耶罗维亚酵母对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)抗WSSV的免疫保护作用

用添加CpG寡聚核苷酸(CpG ODN)和表面展示VP28的解脂耶罗维亚酵母(VP28-yl)的饵料投喂凡纳滨对虾,进行田间中试实验.投喂30 d后进行WSSV感染实验,评估其对凡纳滨对虾的免疫保护作用.投喂实验结束后,CpG ODN投喂组对虾的相对增重率达到(65.8±7.8)% (P＜0.05),这暗示CpG ODN可能具有促生长作用.WSSV攻毒后,CpG ODN和VP28-yl投喂组对虾中WSSV拷贝数与对照组相比均显著降低(P＜0.05),相对免疫保护率分别可达到 26.7%和 36.7%.在投喂结束和WSSV刺激后,CpG ODN组对虾中的呼吸爆发水平均显著升高(P＜0.05).而在VP28-yl投喂组,WSSV引起的细胞凋亡则显著受到抑制(P＜0.05).此外,WSSV刺激后,STAT基因在CpG ODN组和VP28-yl组对虾中的表达水平均显著上调(P＜0.05),分别在第5天和第3天达到最大值,而对照组中则显著下调.研究结果表明,CpG ODN和VP28-yl增强了凡纳滨对虾抗病毒免疫力,对养殖对虾病毒性疫病的防控具有显著作用,可以作为免疫增强剂添加在饵料中,具有在养殖生产中推广使用的前景.
