Applying variations of the Ovsynch protocol at the middle of the estrus cycle on reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows during summer and winter

Two modifications of the Ovsynch protocol, GnRH + TAI after PGF_2α 48 h (CO-48) or 72 h (CO-72), were compared with the original protocol (OVS: GnRH–7 d–PGF_2α–2 d–GnRH–16 h–TAI) to study their effects on reproductive performance in 785 lactating dairy cows (Holstein Friesian, Bos Taurus). Results showed that more cows (P < 0.001) returned to estrus within a week after TAI with CO-48 treatment compared with that in OVS and CO-72 treatments. Pregnancy rates were greater (P < 0.001) for the CO-72 cows than those for both OVS and CO-48 treatments and for primiparous cows compared with multiparous cows. Moreover, pregnancy rates were lower in summer compared with those in winter. Pregnancy losses for cows in both CO-48 and CO-72 were greater (P < 0.05) than that for cows in OVS treatment. Pregnancy losses were greater in summer (P < 0.001) than in winter and for multiparous cows (P < 0.001) than for primiparous cows. In conclusion, primiparous and winter-bred cows had greater pregnancy rates and fewer pregnancy losses than those of multiparous cows and summer-bred cows, respectively. Because of the presence of significant treatment, parity, and season interactions, TAI with ovulation synchronization protocols should be tailored according to the season and parity. CO-72 is recommended for primiparous cows but not for multiparous cows, and CO-48 is not recommended for synchronization. Furthermore, cows that exhibited estrus at any time were inseminated to improve pregnancy rates in ovulation synchronization protocols.     

珍稀鹤类巢址的空间聚类识别方法

依据2003年到2005年松嫩平原西部地区珍稀鹤类巢址调查数据,利用三种不同类型的指数进行分析研究:(1)拓扑指数,Voronoi图面积;(2)统计指数,Morishita指数;(3)空间指数,分维数.结果表明珍稀鹤类巢址空间格局具有明显的空间聚类分布,这三个指数使我们对珍稀鹤类巢址的聚类现象有了定量的认识,加深对自然保护区资源保护的重要性.     

Reducing model complexity of the general Markov model of evolution

The selection of an optimal model for data analysis is an important component of model-based molecular phylogenetic studies. Owing to the large number of Markov models that can be used for data analysis, model selection is a combinatorial problem that cannot be solved by performing an exhaustive search of all possible models. Currently, model selection is based on a small subset of the available Markov models, namely those that assume the evolutionary process to be globally stationary, reversible, and homogeneous. This forces the optimal model to be time reversible even though the actual data may not satisfy these assumptions. This problem can be alleviated by including more complex models during the model selection. We present a novel heuristic that evaluates a small fraction of these complex models and identifies the optimal model.     

脂肪细胞因子 CTRP4转基因鼠的构建与鉴定

目的：建立人CTRP4基因的转基因小鼠,为脂肪细胞因子CTRP4的体内功能研究奠定基础。方法首先构建人CTRP4的转基因小鼠线性化表达载体,再利用显微注射的方法将载体注射入小鼠受精卵,从而构建人CTRP4的首建鼠（ Founder ）并与野生型小鼠交配繁殖得到F1代阳性小鼠,再通过近亲繁殖与测交的方法,得到CTRP4转基因纯合子小鼠,并通过PCR和western blot 的方法对纯合子小鼠进行鉴定。结果得到人CTRP4转基因小鼠纯合子小鼠两个品系,western blot鉴定该转基因小鼠心脏,肝脏,脑,肾脏等多种组织中均呈现CTRP4高表达。结论成功构建了人CTRP4转基因小鼠纯合子小鼠。     

东北小鲵中枢神经系统形态学与组织学初步研究

本文应用脊椎动物神经标本制作法和HE染色法,对东北小鲵中枢神经系统的外部形态和组织学结构进行了初步研究,描述了东北小鲵神经系统形态和组织学结构的特点,并与无尾两栖类和爬行类相对比,探讨了有尾两栖类的进化地位。结果表明:与无尾两栖类(如蛙)相比,东北小鲵中枢神经系统中,大脑半球较小,结构较为原始,小脑结构简单,是两栖类中较为原始的类群。此外,东北小鲵开始具有了臂神经丛和骶神经丛,但没有爬行类的发达,可作为两栖类向爬行类进化的证据之一。

垂体肿瘤转化基因1(PTTG1)具有促进肿瘤生长和转移的作用.通过上调或下调基因表达的策略,观察PTTG1基因对人前列腺癌细胞株LNCaP细胞生长增殖的影响.利用PCR技术分离出PTTG1全长cDNA,分别正向和反向插入真核表达载体pIRES2-EGFP,重组载体分别命名为正义PTTG1-S/pIRES2-EGFP(即pI-P-S)和反义PTTG1-AS/pIRES2-EGFP(即pI-P-AS),将这两种重组载体稳定转染LNCaP细胞,通过流式细胞仪和MTT法分别检测了细胞周期和细胞增殖的情况.转染正义PTTG1后处于S期和G2期的细胞明显增加,细胞生长增殖能力增强;相反,转染反义PTTG1后处于S期和G2期细胞明显减少,细胞生长增殖能力减弱(P<0.05).结果表明,PTTG1能明显改变人前列腺癌细胞株LNCaP的细胞周期和细胞生长增殖能力,它的异常表达可能参与前列腺癌细胞生长增殖过程.

高血压患者用药的依从性

高血压是人类健康面临的一个重要挑战,对患者及其家庭和社会造成了巨大的疾病负担。药物治疗是控制高血压的重要手段,合理应用抗高血压药能使90%的患者血压处于正常范围,但实际高血压的控制率仍很低,且发病率逐年上升,究其根本原因,是由于患者用药依从性不良。本文综述了高血压患者用药依从性的概念、现状及评估方法,并对其影响因素进行了详细的阐述,指出应积极干预及加强健康教育,以最大限度提高患者的用药依从性,降低高血压带来的靶器官损害,并进一步对寻求更准确、客观的用药依从性评估方法做出展望。
