Molecular characterization of Cynoglossus semilaevis CD28

T lymphocyte activation requires a combination of signals, one of which is provided by interaction between CD28 and its ligands on antigen presenting cells. Although CD28-like sequences have been identified in a few teleosts, the function of fish CD28 is virtually unknown. In this study, we cloned and analyzed a CD28 gene, CsCD28, from half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis). The deduced amino acid sequence of CsCD28 contains 229 residues and shares 20.2%-40.3% overall sequence identities with known fish CD28 sequences. CsCD28 possesses structural features conserved in mammalian and teleost CD28, which include the MYPPPY motif in the extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain and the YXN motif in the cytoplasmic domain. The CsCD28 gene is 2746 bp and composed of four exons and three introns, which in organization resemble those of mammalian and trout CD28. Quantitative real time RT-PCR analysis showed that CsCD28 expression occurred predominately in kidney, spleen, gut, and gill. CsCD28 is localized on the surface of head kidney lymphocytes, and antibody ligation of CsCD28 induced significant levels of cellular proliferation. Taken together, these results indicate that CsCD28 is similar to mammalian CD28 in genetic and protein structures and possibly plays a role in T cell activation.

兔先天性青光眼网络膜血管改变

目的　研究青光眼对视网膜脉络膜血液循环的影响。方法　选24月龄、体重3.5～4kg的先天性青光眼大耳白兔5只(7只眼),选10只同龄大耳白兔作为对照组。另选10只2月龄、体重2kg大耳白兔前房内灌注生理盐水制成急性高眼压模型。对三组兔进行眼底照像、闪光视诱发电位(FVEP)检查,观察视网膜脉络膜血管形态和FVEP的变化。对人工急性高眼压组还进行了闪光视网膜电流图(FERG)检查。结果　先天性青光眼组与同龄对照组相比视网膜脉络膜末梢血管网明显减少;人工急性高眼压组眼压升高后首先使视网膜脉络膜末梢血管网灌流不足,随着眼压的继续升高脉络膜大血管变细,末梢血管网灌流不足加重,眼压极度升高时脉络膜大血管血流中断。同龄正常对照组的FVEP的主波P100潜伏期是(83±9)ms,先天性青光眼组则为(112±14)ms,差异有非常显著意义(P＜0.01);人工急性高眼压组高眼压前为(69±5)ms,眼压60～80mm　Hg时延长为(81±7)ms,眼压在100～130mmHg时FVEP波形低平,近似直线;眼压恢复正常后2hFVEP的P100潜伏期为(82±8)ms。人工急性高眼压前后FERG变化显著。结论　青光眼可以影响视网膜脉络膜血液循环;可使FVEP、FERG发生变化。

长期免耕秸秆覆盖对寒地草甸土土壤物理性质的影响

黑龙江地处中温带地区,农田秸秆量大,不同秸秆还田技术与耕作制度结合对土壤物理性质的影响尚不明确.通过2010-2017年连续8年的田间定位试验,研究免耕条件下秸秆覆盖对草甸土土壤物理性质的影响.试验设秸秆无覆盖区(0%)、30%覆盖量(30%)、60%覆盖量(60%)、100%覆盖量(100%)4个处理.结果表明: 免耕条件下,秸秆覆盖可使土壤容重增加0.10～0.20 g·cm^-3,差异达到显著水平,并随覆盖量增加呈递增趋势;秸秆覆盖使土壤固相率比无覆盖增加2.5%～7.8%;土壤温度随秸秆覆盖量增加降幅增大,表层尤为明显,0～5 cm土层温度降幅1.87～2.90 ℃;土壤含水量随秸秆覆盖量增加呈增加趋势,与无覆盖相比差异显著,0～5 cm土层增加幅度为6.4%～10.2%;秸秆覆盖使土壤总孔隙和直径>0.05 mm通气孔隙减少,0.05～0.002 mm有效孔隙增加,覆盖量越大增加越明显,对土壤无效孔隙的影响不规律.长期秸秆覆盖增加了土壤紧实度和土壤水分,降低了土壤温度和土壤总孔隙,增加了0～5 cm土层土壤有效孔隙.     

Enzymatic fractionation of conjugated linoleic acid isomers by selective esterification

Attempt was done to prepare food supplements with high content of c9, t11-CLA or t10, c12-CLA. A free acid mixture containing CLA isomers was esterified with ethanol by enzyme catalysis. Novozyme 435 and Lipase AY30 were screened, and Lipase AY30 was employed to catalyze esterification reaction because of its high fractionation efficiency. Effect of reaction conditions on total esterification was investigated, and the optimal reaction conditions were: 140 U of lipase amount, reaction temperature at 50 °C, a pH of 6.5, and molar ratio of FFA–CLA to ethanol at 1:1. Based on the studies above, experiments of esterification and purification were done, and the best fractionation efficiency was obtained when the total esterification was 37%, and the corresponding purity and recovery of c9, t11-CLA were 75.50 and 49.85%, and that of t10, c12-CLA were 72.02 and 62.32%.
