洞察景观环境影响蜜蜂之新视角: 肠道微生物

作为生态服务提供者的传粉蜜蜂与景观生态息息相关, 而以农田为主的景观组成显著降低了传粉蜜蜂的多样性。目前调查研究显示, 农田的扩张与蜜蜂多样性下降相关, 且农药残留对蜜蜂损害严重。景观中的开花植物决定了蜜蜂的食物(营养)组成, 其中花粉蛋白含量与蜜蜂的生长发育紧密相关。尽管研究已证实景观环境会显著影响蜜蜂蜂群的发展和个体的生长繁殖能力, 但未来还需要加强景观组成变化直接作用于蜜蜂的机制研究。另一方面, 大量研究表明蜜蜂肠道共生菌是影响宿主健康的重要因素: 可促进宿主吸收营养和抵抗病原菌。作为传粉者, 蜜蜂接触到的主要外部环境——花粉和花蜜都含有特殊的微生物, 很多研究暗示花源微生物是蜜蜂肠道菌来源之一。研究表明景观环境相关的食物(营养)、农药残留以及环境微生物都会显著影响肠道微生物。现有少量的研究证明不同景观的蜜蜂肠道微生物有差异, 景观环境可能通过作用于蜜蜂肠道微生物进而影响蜜蜂健康。然而不同景观环境中的微生物, 尤其是花源微生物和蜜蜂肠道菌之间的关联有待证明。景观对蜜蜂肠道微生物的影响值得研究, 希望可以从肠道菌的视角鉴别对蜜蜂友好的景观环境, 进而指导土地合理利用和蜜蜂保护。     

益生菌联合早期肠内营养干预对 重症脑卒中患者营养状态及肠道菌群的影响

目的探讨益生菌联合早期肠内营养干预对重症脑卒中患者营养状态及肠道菌群的影响。方法选取2014年1月至2018年6月于我院住院治疗的重症脑卒中患者70例,随机分为观察组和对照组各35例。两组患者均予控制颅内压、营养神经细胞、抗生素预防感染、保护胃黏膜和维持水电解质酸碱平衡等基础治疗。对照组患者留置鼻饲管行常规肠内营养治疗,观察组患者在对照组治疗基础上加用双歧杆菌四联活菌片水化后鼻饲管注入,1.5 g/次,3次/d,连用10 d。观察两组患者治疗前和治疗10 d后营养状态指标[血清总蛋白(TP)、转铁蛋白(TF)、上臂三头肌肌围(MAMC)]的变化,并比较治疗后肠道菌群(双歧杆菌、乳杆菌、拟杆菌、肠球菌、大肠埃希菌)数量变化。结果治疗10 d后,两组患者血清TP、TF水平和MAMC较治疗前显著下降(P0.05),且治疗后观察组患者TP、TF水平和MAMC高于对照组(P0.05);同时治疗后观察组患者粪便中双歧杆菌、乳杆菌和拟杆菌数量高于对照组,肠球菌和大肠埃希菌数量低于对照组(P0.05)。结论益生菌联合早期肠内营养干预不仅可显著减缓重症脑卒中患者的营养状态恶化;而且能有效地纠正肠道菌群失调,维持肠道微生态的稳定。

囊状幼虫病病毒侵染对中华蜜蜂营养和免疫反应的影响

【目的】囊状幼虫病病毒(sacbrood virus, SBV)是严重危害中华蜜蜂Apis cerana cerana蜂群健康和种群数量的病原微生物,但其对蜜蜂的致死机制不明。本研究旨在探究SBV对不同发育阶段中华蜜蜂营养代谢和免疫的影响。【方法】分别给中华蜜蜂2日龄幼虫和新羽化成虫饲喂SBV,逐日统计死亡蜜蜂数量,检测病毒对蜜蜂存活的影响;利用qPCR检测中华蜜蜂4日龄幼虫、预蛹以及10和20日龄成虫体内SBV RNA、营养代谢基因(ilp1, ilp2, hex110, hex70b, hex70c和vg)、先天性病毒免疫基因(rel, toll, apidaecin, abaecin, defensin, hymenoptaecin, jra, key和state92e)、细胞凋亡基因(atg7和LOC100577876)和抗RNA病毒基因(dis3和dicer)的表达水平。【结果】 SBV感染显著降低了中华蜜蜂幼虫的存活率,但对成虫的生存影响不明显。SBV RNA在中华蜜蜂4日龄幼虫和预蛹体内的表达量显著高于其在10和20日龄成虫体内的表达量。SBV显著降低了中华蜜蜂幼虫营养代谢基因ilp1, ilp2, hex110, hex70b和hex70c以及成虫营养代谢基因vg和hex110的表达量,但显著提高了4日龄幼虫rel, toll, apidaecin, abaecin, defensin, hymenoptaecin和jra以及成虫key和 state92e等先天性病毒免疫基因的表达量,还引起预蛹体内的细胞凋亡基因atg7和LOC100577876的表达量显著增加。【结论】SBV在中华蜜蜂幼虫和预蛹体内的感染水平远高于在成虫体内的,其对幼虫的危害也大于对成虫。SBV显著影响了中华蜜蜂正常的营养代谢,染毒中华蜜蜂能够提高自身的免疫水平来应对;预蛹期中华蜜蜂幼虫细胞凋亡水平的显著增加可能与化蛹异常及死亡有关。     

小菜蛾成虫对沙芥的产卵嗜好性的初步研究

通过室内试验,比较了小菜蛾Plutella xylostellaL.对沙生十字花科蔬菜沙芥叶(PugioniumcornutumL.)、小白菜、油菜和甘蓝叶的产卵选择性。结果表明,产卵选择性顺序为沙芥≥小白菜>油菜>甘蓝,在沙芥叶上的产卵率是甘蓝叶上的9倍多;补充营养使小菜蛾成虫的产卵量平均提高2.5倍,产卵次数增加2倍,在有沙芥叶条件下,当日羽化的小菜蛾便可交尾产卵;在无沙芥叶条件下,小菜蛾成虫的产卵前期平均延迟1d左右。     

贮藏条件对川硬皮肿腿蜂存活率的影响

在相对湿度为50%~70%的条件下,设置5个温度梯度,将川硬皮肿腿蜂SclerodermasichuanensisXiao雌成蜂分别进行直接贮藏和定期补充15%蜂蜜水后贮藏,并对该蜂在不同条件下的贮藏存活率进行了比较。结果表明,贮藏温度和补充营养对川硬皮肿腿蜂雌成蜂的存活率有显著影响,其中6~15℃下贮藏相同时间的蜂存活率较高,比较适合该蜂的贮藏,而在12℃贮藏相同时间的供试蜂存活率最高,最适该蜂的贮藏。除此之外,在贮藏期间适时添加补充营养也能大大延长川硬皮肿腿蜂雌成蜂的贮藏寿命,但补充营养对该蜂存活率的影响大小与贮藏温度有关。     

Transformation of recalcitrant turfgrass cultivars through improvement of tissue culture and selection regime

Tissue culture techniques, medium composition, pH value and targeted tissues, agroinfection and co-culture conditions, selection process were optimized for efficient turfgrass transformation. A highly regenerable callus lines were produced in callus induction medium modified from N6 basal medium. Six-week-old calluses were cultured on Pre-regeneration medium I for 4 days and then subjected to Agrobacterium tumefaciens. After co-cultivation at 20±1 °C in a 16 h light/8 h darkness for 3 days, the calluses were cultured on non-selective Pre-regeneration medium II supplemented with 400 mg l⁻¹ l-cysteine for 7 days. Plantlets were regenerated on the Regeneration medium without selection pressure. A selection pressure was given to the regenerated plantlets when they were rooted on the Plantlet rooting medium. Roots appeared within 8–12 days in putative transformed plantlets. Resistant plants obtained were phenotypically normal and fully fertile. Chemical and molecular analyses confirmed that foreign genes were successfully introduced into the genome of perennial ryegrass or tall fescue. The transformation efficiency can attain 23.3% in perennial ryegrass.     

Exogenous Putrescine Reduces Sodium and Chloride Accumulation in NaCl-Treated Calli of the Salt-Sensitive Rice Cultivar I Kong Pao

In order to gain information on the putative involvement of polyamines (PAs) in the response of rice cells to salinity, mature embryo-derived calli issued from the salt-sensitive cultivar I Kong Pao were exposed for 3 months to the simultaneous presence of NaCl (0, 150 and 300 mM) and exogenous polyamines (putrescine (Put): 1 and 10 mM; spermidine (Spd): 1 and 10 mM; spermine (Spm): 1 mM). Callus growth, endogenous PAs, Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl⁻ concentrations were quantified and analysed in relation to cell viability based on 2,3,5-triphenytetrazolium chloride (TTC) reduction. All exogenous PAs were efficiently absorbed from the external medium. Exogenous Put 1 mM clearly stimulated growth of salt-stressed calli in relation to a decrease in both Na⁺ and Cl⁻ accumulation. In contrast, Spd 10 mM and Spm 1 mM exacerbated the deleterious impact of NaCl on callus growth and induced a decrease in K⁺ concentration. While Put helped in the maintenance of cell viability, Spd 10 mM and Spm 1 mM decreased cell viability, mainly in relation to an inhibition of the alternative respiratory pathway. It is proposed that Put may assume positive functions in salt stress resistance in rice.     

Lens‐anomalies and other ophthalmic findings in a group of closely‐related angola lions (Panthera leo bleyenberghi)

After the diagnosis of bilateral, immature, nuclear, and posterior cortical cataracts in one Angola lioness, and because of the possible implications of the cataracts for a breeding program, complete ophthalmic examinations on a group of related adult Angola lions and their offspring were carried out. Five adult lions, ranging in age from 1.5–5.5 years, and five lion cubs were studied clinically. The examination included slit‐lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and photography. The eyes of three of the offspring were submitted for histopathologic examination and examined by light microscopy. The most significant findings were cataracts of various stages, which were observed in four adult lions and one male cub. Mild lenticular abnormalities were noted in the histopathologic examination of the lion cubs' eyes. Additional ophthalmic findings, of lesser clinical consequence, were also noted. This breeding program would benefit from further investigation by animal nutritionists and geneticists, and the animals in this group should undergo periodic ophthalmologic examinations.
