不同规格中华绒螯蟹母本子代的生长特性比较

为研究中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)不同规格母本子代的生长发育,本实验在生态池塘中放置网箱养殖中华绒螯蟹,按照母本规格不同设置4个组,组A、B、C和D分别为母本体重(175.7±5.3)g、(150.4±5.8)g、(125.6±5.5)g和(100.2±5.9)g的子代,4组的父本体重无显著差异,每个组4个平行,每个平行雄蟹10只、雌蟹20只。每个网箱放养中华绒螯蟹大眼幼体500只,以水花生(Altemanthena philoxeroides)为隐蔽物,保持生长环境尽量相同且适宜生长。经过158 d的养殖,A、B、C和D组个体的体重从(6.0±0.5)mg分别增长到(7 599.8±954.8)mg、(6 232.7±638.7)mg、(6 112.4±854.6)mg、(5 316.0±745.3)mg,分别增长了1 266.6、1 038.8、1 018.7和886.0倍,且A组特定生长率显著高于D组(P0.05)。蜕壳11次成长为1龄蟹种后综合指标(体重、壳长、壳宽、体高)最好的是A组,A组显著好于B、C、D组(P0.05);次之为B、C组,再者是D组,B与C组差异不显著(P0.05),但均显著好于D组(P0.05)。B组成活率最高,分别比A、D、C组高1.4%、3.6%、4.6%;次之为A组,分别比D、C组高2.2%、3.2%;再者为D组,比C组高1.4%。综合研究表明,在1龄蟹种阶段,大规格母本后代生长性状表现出优于小规格母本后代的趋势。     

Social isolation increases male aggression toward females in the field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus

Social isolation has often been reported to facilitate male aggressiveness in various animal species. If social isolation also escalates male aggressive behavior towards females, the mating success of the aggressive males will be low. This study evaluated the effect of social isolation on mating behavior in the field cricket Gryllus bimaculatus, which has traditionally been considered to be an asocial species. The results showed that social isolation from same-sex individuals enhanced male aggressiveness to females, and the mating success of aggressive males was reduced under the experimental conditions. More aggressive males exhibited a longer latency to court than less aggressive males. These results suggest that because male aggressiveness causes a delay in courtship, aggressive males may have reduced mating success. This demonstrated that social relationships are a critical factor affecting male mating success, even if the species is normally considered solitary.     

小叶兜兰的果实生长和雌配子体发育

为了解濒危兰科植物小叶兜兰(Paphiopedilum barbigerum Tang et Wang)胚珠和雌配子体的发育过程,采用常规石蜡切片技术对其果实的生长动态进行了研究。结果表明,授粉后60~75 d的蒴果内种子数量迅速增加,到授粉后120 d时种子充满整个蒴果。授粉后40 d的胎座上分化形成多数由1层表皮细胞包被1列细胞的胚珠原基;授粉后60 d时位于胎座指状结构末端处紧靠表皮细胞下方的孢原细胞分化为大孢子母细胞。之后,大孢子母细胞经过减数分裂和有丝分裂最终形成成熟胚囊;授粉后135 d胚囊发育成熟,附着在胎座上的种子个体分化明显。小叶兜兰胚囊的发育类型为双孢子葱型,胚珠为倒生胚珠,薄珠心,单珠被,成熟胚囊为8核。这为小叶兜兰的生殖生物学及繁殖体系的建立提供理论依据。

摘要：目的 研究性传播疾病病原体在女性泌尿生殖系统的感染情况。方法 选择2018年广州市皮肤病防治所性病门诊收治的484例女性初诊患者为患者组,选择同期30例健康女性体检者作为对照组,检测两组对象8种性病的患病情况,包括6种法定报告性病（HIV感染、梅毒、生殖器疱疹、沙眼衣原体感染、淋病、尖锐湿疣）和2种非法定报告性病（解脲脲原体及人形支原体感染、假丝酵母菌感染）。结果 484例初诊女性患者中共有292人患性病,占女性初诊患者的60.3%,与对照组相比差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。292例性病患者合并感染率较高,出现性病合并感染的患者共94人,占32.2%（94/292）。入选患者共有感染类型23型,患者最多可同时患有4种性病。沙眼衣原体感染患者合并感染率最高,达到83.7%（36/43）。结论 应加强女性性病患者性病病原体的全面筛查和相关感染的预防。     

基于红外相机视频的猪獾交配行为观察

Mating behavior of the Hog-badger (Arctonyx collaris) was recorded on 463 videos (totally 8053 s) taken with auto-trigger cameras between March 13 and May 13, 2017 in Jiangxi Wuyishan. Males followed and guarded the females for several hours before mating. One mounting behavior, and three mating behaviors were observed from 01:55 to 08:49 on April 18. The durations of mating behaviors lasted for 731s, 1690s and 1494s, respectively. Based on these observations, we found: 1) mating behavior was controlled by the female, including obvious sexual solicitations; 2) females can mate more than one time within one estrous cycle; 3) quickly and repeatedly pumping and inserting behavior was observed in male during mating.     

探讨女性盆底功能障碍性疾病的相关因素及盆底超声测定压力性尿失禁SUI的临床意义

目的:探讨女性盆底功能障碍性疾病的相关因素及盆底超声测定压力性尿失禁SUI的临床意义。方法:选取我院2019年-2020年共收治的63例盆底功能障碍性疾病患者作为研究对象,将其分为研究组,另取同期来我院进行体检的63例健康女性作为对照组,对所有女性应用盆底超声检测,对比两组女性静息状态下和Valsalva状态下的盆底超声检查指标,对通过问卷调查方式,调查两组女性的一般临床治疗,对于女性盆底功能障碍性疾病的相关因素进行单因素分析与多因素分析,最终得出盆底肌功能障碍性疾病的相关因素。结果:在静息状态下通过盆底超声发现,研究组与对照组膀胱尿道后角、肛提肌裂孔面积、尿道倾斜度对比差异显著(P<0.05),两组女性膀胱颈位置、膀胱位置对比无明显差异(P>0.05);在Valsalva状态下通过盆底超声发现,研究组与对照组膀胱尿道后角、肛提肌裂孔面积、尿道倾斜度、膀胱颈位置、膀胱位置对比差异显著(P<0.05);两组女性年龄、BMI、孕次、产次、绝经情况以及白带清洁度是否≥Ⅲ度情况对比差异显著(P<0.05),两组女性子宫肌瘤史情况对比无显著差异(P>0.05);logistic回归分析结果显示,年龄、绝经情况、子宫肌瘤史和白带清洁度≥Ⅲ度不是盆底功能障碍性疾病的独立危险因素(P>0.05),BMI、孕次、产次为盆底功能障碍性疾病的独立危险因素(P<0.05)。结论:盆底肌超声在对盆底功能障碍性疾病患者压力性尿失禁的诊断中具有重要价值,在静息状态下和Valsalva状态下发现患者的膀胱经移动情况与尿道倾斜情况。年龄、BMI、孕次、产次、绝经情况以及白带清洁度是否≥Ⅲ度可能与盆底功能障碍性疾病具有一定关系,BMI、孕次、产次为盆底功能障碍性疾病的独立危险因素。     

Female recognition of trills in the male calling song of the field cricket,<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Teleogryllus taiwanemma</Emphasis>

The calling song of the field cricket, Teleogryllus taiwanemma, is usually considered to consist of sequences of separate chirps. However, sometimes it comprises a phrase of several chirps in a row, with one long chirp (chirp) and a few short chirps (trills). In this study, I compared the phrase containing only chirps with that containing both chirps and trills by analyzing male songs and conducting playback experiments of male songs to females. The song analyses showed significant differences between chirps and trills for all song parameters except bandwidth. To test whether female preference differed with respect to the two phrases, I performed two-speaker playback experiments. When the same numbers of phrases were presented per unit time, females preferred the song with trills to that without trills. This result may reflect female preference for songs with greater sound density. In subsequent playback experiments, I equalized the total sound duration per unit time (duty cycle) in songs with and without trills. The numbers of females that preferred songs with and without trills did not differ significantly. This suggests that trills can attract females like chirps do, even though the two sounds have different components.     

Increased levels of superoxide in brains from old female rats

Hypertension, aging and a range of neurodegenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative damage. The present study examined whether superoxide (O₂^•-) levels in brain are increased during aging in female rats, and the role of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and oestrogen in regulating O₂^•- levels.

Young adult (3 month) and old (11 month) female spontaneously hypertensive stroke prone rats (SHRSP) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) were studied. O₂^•- levels were measured in brain homogenates by lucigenin chemiluminescence and SOD expression by Western blotting. Ageing significantly increased brain O₂^•- levels in WKY (cortex +216%, hippocampus +320%, striatum +225%) and to a greater extent in SHRSP (cortex +540%, hippocampus +580%, striatum +533%). Older SHRSP showed a decline in cortical Cu/Zn SOD expression compared to young adult SHRSP. Oestrogen did not attenuate O₂^•- levels.

The results show a significant age-dependent increase in brain O₂^•- levels which is exaggerated in SHRSP. The excess cortical O₂^•- levels in the SHRSP may be associated with a down-regulation of Cu/Zn SOD but are not related to a decrease in oestrogen.     

Influence of Combined Microinjection of Gene Engineering Construct and Endonuclease on Preimplantation Development of Mouse Embryos in vitro

We studied the influence of combined microinjection of a gene engineering construct and site-specific endonuclease SalIin the pronucleus on preimplantation development of (CBA × C57BL)F₁ mouse embryos in vitro. The rate of survival of the embryos was estimated according to their capacity to develop until the blastocyst stage and hatch from zona pellucida. The results obtained suggest that the microinjection of exogenous DNA jointly with endonuclease SalI at concentrations from 0.1 to 0.01 U/l decreased reliably the rate of survival, as compared to the control (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively). However, a decrease of endonuclease SalI concentration in the injection mixture to 0.01 U/l enhanced the capacity of mouse embryos to develop until the blastocyst stage and hatch from zona pellucida, as compared to the embryos microinjected with exogenous DNA and endonuclease SalI at a higher concentration.
