云南省急性弛缓性麻痹病例中柯萨奇病毒B5感染情况及病毒基因特征分析

为了解云南省急性弛缓性麻痹(Acute flaccid paralysis,AFP)病例中柯萨奇病毒B组5型(Coxsackievirus B5,CV-B5)感染情况及病毒基因特征,采用回顾性研究的方法,收集AFP监测系数据资料,描述CV-B5感染AFP病例的流行病学特征及临床表现;对CV-B5分离株进行完整VP1区逆转录-聚合酶链反应扩增和核苷酸序列测定,测序结果进行同源性分析和系统发生学研究.结果显示,15例CV-B5阳性的AFP病例散在分布于7个云南省内州市、贵州省及缅甸;男女比例为1∶2,5岁以下儿童占73.3％,53.3％(8/15)的病例麻痹时伴发热,以双侧下肢麻痹(66.7％,10/15)为主,临床诊断多为肌炎(33.3％,5/15),1例病例残留麻痹.CV-B5云南株之间以及与原型株之间的核苷酸同源性分别为75.0％～100.0％和77.2％～82.0％.云南本地存在两个基因型的CV-B5共循环,大多数云南株(16株)与中国大陆CV-B5分离株均属于D基因型(D3亚型),另外两株云南株属于国外优势流行的C基因型,与其他云南株之间存在较大的核苷酸差异(20.4％～25.0％).本研究描述了 CV-B5云南地方株的分子流行病学特征,首次发现我国存在C基因型.研究显示分离自不同疾病来源及健康人群的CV-B5在亲缘关系树上无特异性区分.     

酿酒酵母酚类抑制物耐受性脂质组学研究

通过脂质组学分析方法从细胞膜磷脂分布方面探究适应进化酿酒酵母酚酸耐受性机制。主要利用高效液相色谱-质谱(LC-MS)对酚酸胁迫下适应进化菌株和原始菌株脂质成分检测并进行统计学比较分析。检测出565种脂质代谢物,包含细胞膜磷脂185种。相比初始菌株,适应进化菌株细胞膜中磷脂酰胆碱(PC)、磷脂酰乙醇胺(PE)和磷脂酰肌醇(PI)类磷脂分子相对含量增加,含有长链(C32-C36)和双不饱和脂酰链的磷脂分子含量增加。统计学分析表明显著性差异磷脂分子主要为含有长链不饱和脂酰链的PC和PE类磷脂分子。推测适应进化菌株通过膜磷脂重塑提高细胞膜完整性,对酚类抑制物起到选择性屏障作用,从而保持细胞活性。     

黄土高原林区生态系统服务价值与景观生态风险时空变化及其关联性——以子午岭区为例

当前,人们对自然景观提供的生态系统服务保护意识正在加强,但将生态系统服务价值纳入生态风险管控的研究和实践相对较少。本研究以子午岭区为例,基于2.5 km×2.5 km的评价小区,开展了1980、1990、2000、2010和2017年黄土高原林区——子午岭区景观格局类型格网化和重采样,定量评价了生态系统服务价值和景观生态风险,揭示了二者时空变化及其关联性。结果表明: 1980—2017年,子午岭区生态系统服务价值从其中心地带向外缘递减,总量由123.45亿元增长为126.33亿元;子午岭区景观生态风险从其中心地带向外缘递增,子午岭区的景观生态风险有所降低,生态状况总体好转。子午岭区生态系统服务价值与景观生态风险之间存在显著的负相关关系及明显的负向空间关联性;高价值-低风险区主要为子午岭林区,未来其生态系统服务价值可能会保持不变。

African Swine Fever Virus MGF-110-9L-deficient Mutant Has Attenuated Virulence in Pigs

African swine fever virus(ASFV) is the etiological agent of African swine fever(ASF), an often lethal disease in domestic and wild pigs. ASF represents a major threat to the swine industry worldwide. Currently, no commercial vaccine is available because of the complexity of ASFV or biosecurity concerns. Live attenuated viruses that are naturally isolated or genetically manipulated have demonstrated reliable protection against homologous ASFV strain challenge. In the present study, a mutant ASFV strain with the deletion of ASFV MGF-110-9 L(ASFV-D9 L) was generated from a highly virulent ASFV CN/GS/2018 parental strain, a genotype II ASFV. Relative to the parental ASFV isolate, deletion of the MGF-110-9 L gene significantly decreased the ability of ASFV-D9 L to replicate in vitro in primary swine macrophage cell cultures. The majority of animals inoculated intramuscularly with a low dose of ASFV-D9 L(10 HAD50) remained clinically normal during the 21-day observational period. Three of five ASFV-D9 L-infected animals displayed low viremia titers and low virus shedding and developed a strong virus-specific antibody response, indicating partial attenuation of the ASFV-D9 L strain in pigs. The findings imply the potential usefulness of the ASFV-D9 L strain for further development of ASF control measures.

基于转录组分析酸枣仁斯皮诺素生物合成途径的相关基因

采用转录组测序技术分析酸枣仁(Ziziphi spinosae semen)不同发育时期基因表达差异,识别酸枣仁黄酮生物合成途径的相关基因,为进一步分析酸枣仁中黄酮类成分生物合成相关酶基因提供研究基础.以3个不同生长发育时期的酸枣仁样本为供试材料,采用Illumina Hiseq 4000进行转录组测序,并从头拼接,对转录本进行功能注释和差异性分析.经StringTie软件组装拼接得到74472个转录本,其中有26.83％在NR、Swiss-Prot、Pfam、GO、KOG、KEGG数据库中得到注释;代谢通路分析结果发现,在酸枣仁转录组中与黄酮类合成途径相关的11条差异表达基因可能编码斯皮诺素合成途径的一些酶类.酸枣仁中黄酮类成分斯皮诺素相关转录本信息为阐明斯皮诺素在生长期的积累提供重要依据,为提高酸枣仁品质研究提供参考.
