不同开口饵料对西伯利亚鲟仔鱼生长、存活和体成分的影响

分别采用水丝蚓（Limnodrilus sp.）、卤虫无节幼体（Artemia nauplii）、枝角类（Moina sp.）和人工饲料饲养西伯利亚鲟仔鱼30 d,研究不同开口饵料对西伯利亚鲟仔鱼生长、存活率和体成分的影响.结果表明：卤虫无节幼体为西伯利亚鲟最适开口饵料,仔鱼的存活率最高（96.67%）; 投喂水丝蚓组生长速度最快;而人工饲料组生长速度明显低于其他组,且成活率最低.不同开口饵料组间仔鱼体成分差异显著,人工饲料组水分含量最高,且粗蛋白和粗灰分含量最低.采用卤虫无节幼体为西伯利亚鲟仔鱼开口饵料,然后采用水丝蚓进行强化培育,能获得较好的生长速度和存活率.     

在人工饲养条件下鲥鱼仔鱼期开口摄食的观察

受精卵孵化后的仔鱼开口摄食阶段是鱼类早期发育的关健时期,经常引起仔鱼的大量死亡,缺乏充足的适口外源性饵料可能是造成死亡的重要原因之一。1982—1983年,利用赣江产卵场人工授精的鲥鱼受精卵在室内孵化环道中孵出的仔鱼,投喂捞取的天然浮游生物饵料进行了仔鲥有关开口摄食方面的观察,其主要结果如下:仔鱼在孵化后2.5—6.5日为开口摄食期,个体全长为4.5—7.4毫米,仔鱼通常残留多少不等的卵黄物质,为混合性开食营养类型;开口摄食期间的饵料以轮虫,桡足类及其幼体(无节幼体与挠足幼体)为主要种类,适口饵料宽度为仔鱼口宽的39—81％左右,约占仔鱼全长比例的1.5—3.8％;肠内一次饵料量为平均体重的6.72％。     

4种生态因子对虎斑乌贼幼体生长与存活的影响

旨在研究温度、盐度、饵料种类、投饵量对虎斑乌贼（Sepia pharaonis）幼体生长与存活率的影响,以确定其生长发育的最佳生态条件,为人工育苗提供理论依据。在室内控制条件下,采用单因子试验研究了不同温度（18、21、24、27、30和33℃）、不同盐度（18、21、24、27、30和33）、不同饵料种类（虾糜、活糠虾、卤虫无节幼体、桡足类、死糠虾、虾糜＋强化卤虫后无节幼体、强化卤虫后无节幼体）、活糠虾不同投饵量（0、2、4、6、8和10 g/d）对虎斑乌贼幼体生长发育的影响。结果显示：不同温度对虎斑乌贼幼体生长影响显著（P〈0.05）,最适温度为24-27℃,在最适温度下,存活率为84.4%-91.1%,特定生长率为4.82%-6.13%,存活率（y）与温度（x）的函数关系为y=-0.15x3＋30.637x-447.002（r2=0.923）。幼体适宜盐度为24-33,最适盐度为27,在最适盐度条件下,其存活率为（90.0±5.29）%,特定生长率为（3.71±0.34）%。投喂7种开口饵料,以活糠虾效果最佳,存活率为（96.7±2.94）%,特定生长率为（3.77±0.23）%;强化卤虫后无节幼体效果次之,存活率为（95.6±2.31）%,特定生长率为（2.54±0.15）%,其余各组培养效果均不理想。投喂活糠虾,随着投饵量的增加,其存活率随之提高,摄食量（y）与个体重（x）的回归方程为y=0.227x-0.063（r2=0.921）。     

饵料系列对军曹鱼仔鱼生长、消化酶活力和体成分的影响

饵料是鱼类早期发育最重要的条件之一,并且随着个体发育,饵料类别不断变化。为了评定各种饵料的效果并筛选得到军曹鱼仔鱼早期发育阶段适宜的饵料组合,进行了本实验。军曹鱼仔鱼在750L桶中孵出并暂养2d,然后在水泥池中培育4d（3—6日龄）,并投喂轮虫;在第7日龄,将240尾仔鱼随机平均分配至12个70L桶中,共分4组,每组3桶;7—15日龄,4组仔鱼分别投喂轮虫、卤虫无节幼体、桡足类和桡足类投;16—42日龄,分别投喂轮虫、卤虫无节幼体、桡足类和鱼糜。第42日龄,将全部仔鱼取样、称重并于-80℃保存备用。鱼体匀浆、离心后的上清液作为粗酶液用以测定蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶等消化酶活力,还测定了粗蛋白、粗脂肪等主要体成分,并统计了生长指标。结果表明：（1）组IV的生长表现最佳;（2）组III的成活率最高;（3）饵料对三种酶的活力和体成分都有极显著的影响;（4）组III的蛋白酶活力、组I的淀粉酶活力和脂肪酶活力最高,尤其是组I的淀粉酶活力比其他各组高出6.8—11.9倍;（5）各组鱼体的粗蛋白含量均较相应饵料的低,而粗脂肪含量则比饵料的高。因此,可以认为：仔鱼长期饥饿时,消化酶可能存在补偿性分泌,并优先利用糖类和脂肪作为能源;军曹鱼仔鱼对脂肪的沉积效率较蛋白高。     

不同饵料对玛丽仔鱼生长及存活的影响

通过投喂轮虫、蛋黄、人工配合饲料（基础、添加诱食剂、高蛋白）５种不同饵料,观察玛丽仔鱼的生长及存活情况。表明各饵料组间差异不显著。经养殖１５日,仔鱼平均体重从００２３ｇ增至００５８ｇ,平均增量倍数为２４１—２８０;平均体长从１１２７ｍｍ增至１５６１ｍｍ,平均增长倍数为１３６—１４６。存活率均在８４％以上。     

不同开口饵料对川陕哲罗鲑仔鱼生长和存活的影响

分别采用水丝蚓Limnodrilus sp.、丰年虫Artemia salina、鲫鱼Carassius auratus卵和2种不同配方的人工饲料饲养川陕哲罗鲑Hucho bleekeri开口仔鱼(20日龄),研究不同开口饵料对川陕哲罗鲑仔鱼生长和存活的影响。结果表明:在仔鱼开口后的0~10 d内,丰年虫投喂的川陕哲罗鲑仔鱼生长速度显著高于其他试验组,15~20 d丰年虫组仔鱼出现负增长(-0.38%),而10 d以后2个饲料组的生长速度迅速提升。在整个试验期内,水丝蚓组和鲫鱼卵组的生长较为平稳,特定生长率均介于丰年虫组和2个饲料组之间。试验结束时,丰年虫组的存活率最高,为(91.11±5.09)%,水丝蚓组的存活率最低,为(43.33±6.67)%。基于本试验的结果和川陕哲罗鲑的摄食特性,推荐最适的开口投喂方案为:0~10 d投喂丰年虫,10 d后逐步添加人工饲料进行转食。     

不同饵料对卤虫生长、总脂含量及脂肪酸组成的影响

为了提高养殖卤虫的饵料营养价值,了解其不同生长阶段营养成分变化情况,采用单因子试验研究了8种饵料（三角褐指藻、小球藻、微绿球藻、酵母液、三角褐指藻＋小球藻＋微绿球藻、三角褐指藻＋酵母液、小球藻＋酵母液和微绿球藻＋酵母液）对卤虫生长、总脂含量及脂肪酸组成的影响,结果表明：不同饵料种类对卤虫生长、总脂含量及脂肪酸组成的影响显著（P＜0.05）,增长率,以三角褐指藻＋酵母液最优;总脂含量、以三角褐指藻最优（19.67%）,除酵母液外,与其它饵料相差不显著（P＞0.05）;脂肪酸组成效果,以微绿球藻组最优（EPA：18.01%,DNA：0.55%,（n-3）HUFA：19.08%）,与三角褐指藻组相差不大（P＞0.05）,显著高于其它各组（P＞0.05）.同时以三角褐指藻为饵料,研究了卤虫不同生长阶段（体长2、4、6、8、10 mm）总脂含量、脂肪酸组成变化,结果表明：卤虫体长2～10 mm总脂含量为14.27%～20.93%,随体长的增长降低;EPA、DHA及（n-3）HUFA的含量,均随体长的增长降低,EPA含量为：10.47%～20.77%,DNA含量为：0～0.70%,（n-3）HUFA含量为：10.85%～22.01%.结论认为,卤虫以三角褐指藻或三角褐指藻＋酵母液为饵料培养营养价值最佳,其体长小于6 mm营养价值较佳.     

日本对虾对饵料摄食与吸收利用的研究

本文用￣１４Ｃ示踪法测定日本对虾糠－３幼体对褶皱臂尾轮虫,卤虫和亚心形扁藻的摄食率、吸收率和利用率;以￣３Ｈ－葡萄糖和￣１４Ｃ－苯丙氨酸作示踪剂研究人工配合饵料中葡萄糖和氨基酸在日本对虾体内转运和分布。实验结果表明褶皱臂尾轮虫是日本对虾糠－３幼体最适的动物性饵料之一。糠－３幼体对卤虫无节幼体摄食与利用率不高,但适量投放２３只／ｍｌ密度的卤虫无节幼体作补充饵料以满足幼体对食物日益增长的需要,有利于幼体的生长。虽然糠－３幼体食性以动物性为主,但单独投放适宜密度亚心形扁藻也能摄食。其利用率可达４０％左右。日本对虾的营养物质主要通过中肠被吸收,经血液循环被输送到组织器官。氨基酸更多参与对虾组织构成细胞的成分代谢活动,而葡萄糖则是对虾能量代谢活动的主要来源。

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.

2. Viral protease 3C is identified as a protease responsible for proteolytically processing the N-terminal H3 tail.
3. Our finding reveals a new epigenetic regulatory mechanism for Enterovirus 71 in virus-host interactions.     

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).
