目的：探讨白花蛇舌草（HD）对Ⅱ型胶原蛋白诱导的大鼠类风湿性关节炎（CIA）的治疗作用。方法：取SD大鼠60只随机分为对照组10只、造模组50只,造模组于背部皮内注射Ⅱ型胶原乳剂建立CIA大鼠模型,采用大鼠关节炎评分法评价其模型是否复制成功。造模组再随机分为模型组、雷公藤多苷（GTW）6 mg/kg组、白花蛇舌草3、6、12 g/kg组,每组10只,每天灌胃给予相应的试剂。每周观察关节炎指数和痛阈,于连续干预28 d后,各组大鼠眼眶静脉取血,观察白细胞介素1β（IL-lβ）、肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）、前列腺素E₂（PGE₂）、核因子κB受体活化因子配体（RANKL）及护骨素（OPG）水平。结果：与对照组比较,模型组大鼠关节炎指数,血清IL-lβ、TNF-α、PGE₂、RANKL、OPG及RANKL/OPG水平均明显升高（P<0.05）,光照阈值明显降低（P<0.05）;与模型组比较,雷公藤多苷组、白花蛇舌草低、中、高剂量组关节炎指数,血清IL-lβ、TNF-α、PGE₂、RANKL、OPG及RANKL/OPG水平均明显降低（P<0.05）,光照阈值明显升高（P<0.05）。结论：白花蛇舌草可明显降低CIA模型大鼠关节炎指数,升高痛域阈值,下调IL-lβ、TNF-α、PGE₂、RANKL、OPG水平,从而有效的防治CIA。     

锌离子存在下EGCG对前列腺癌细胞生长的影响

本文研究了锌离子存在下EGCG对前列腺癌细胞PC-3生长的影响．研究发现Zn^2＋可以增强EGCG抗癌活性,Zn^2＋存在下。EGCG处理后前列腺癌细胞PC-3克隆形成率显著下降。以RT—PCR、免疫组化方法研究Zn^2＋、EGCG对67kD层粘连蛋白受体（67kD Laminin Receptor,67LR）表达调控,结果表明Znn可通过上调67LR的表达,为EGCG提供更多作用的靶位点,增强EGCG对前列腺癌细胞PC-3的毒性作用。MMP-9是肿瘤侵袭转移过程中关键的基质金属蛋白酶。MMP-9活性与癌细胞的转移潜能密切相关。本文研究发现Zn^2＋、EGCG处理可通过抑制MMP-9活性,降低前列腺癌细胞PC-3的迁移率．其中80umol／LEGCG＋80umol／L Zn^2＋处理24h后显著抑制了PC-3细胞的迁移率。     

Effects of exogenous B supply on growth, B accumulation and distribution of two navel orange cultivars

To investigate the effects of boron (B) on growth, B concentration and distribution of two navel orange cultivars, ‘Newhall’ (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) and ‘Skagg’s Bonanza’ (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) grafted on the rootstock trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], B at five levels was exogenously supplied to 1-year-old grafted plants of both cultivars under greenhouse conditions. Plants were grown in sand:perlite (1:1, v/v) medium and were irrigated every 2 days with half-strength Hoagland’s No. 2 nutrient solutions containing different B, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 and 2.50 mg l⁻¹ (0.25 and 2.50 mg l⁻¹ were considered as control and excess B treatment, respectively, and the other three B levels were considered as low B treatments). After treatments for 183 days, leaves (from basal, middle, upper parts of the shoots), stem of scion, stem of rootstock and root were separately sampled. Our results showed that plant growth (plant height, root volume and dry weights of various parts) was inhibited in response to low or excess B supplies in both cultivars. It was found that B concentrations in the upper leaves of both cultivars were substantially higher than those in the basal leaves when low concentrations (≤0.05 mg l⁻¹) of exogenous B were applied, suggesting that B was preferentially translocated to the upper-younger leaves to support their growth. Analysis of B distribution in different parts indicated that translocation of B from the root to the scion’s shoots (stems and leaves of scion) may be restricted upon exposure to low B conditions. When B was inadequately supplied, growth of ‘Skagg’s Bonanza’ was better than ‘Newhall’, implying that the former cultivar was more tolerant to low B status, which may be due to the higher efficiency of B translocation from the root to the scion’s shoots. However, when the plants were treated with excess B (2.50 mg l⁻¹), both cultivars showed a similar degree of B toxicity. The probability of scion–rootstock interactions in relation to the differential responses of growth and different efficiency of B translocation involved in the two orange cultivars following the long-term low B stress were discussed.     

种植制度对江苏省棉田杂草群落影响的研究

 经连续5年对江苏省主棉区水旱轮作及旱连作两种种植制度下的棉田杂草种群密度及草害优势度级数进行定田调查,通过时间和空间上的比较统计分析,研究了棉田杂草群落演替趋势及草害发生规律。研究结果表明,种植制度与江苏省棉田杂草群落的组成和草害发生程度紧密相关。在水旱轮作棉田中,随着棉花(Gossypium hirsutum)种植年数的增加,喜湿性杂草稗草(Echinochloa crusgalli)等优势度值逐渐减少,喜旱性杂草马唐(Digitaria sanguinalis)等优势度值逐渐提高,它们之间存在显著的线性关系。旱连作棉田以喜旱性杂草为主,发生量较大,草害较重,年际间杂草群落变化较小。另外,水旱轮作和旱连作棉田之间的杂草群落结构和种群数量差异显著。而地理区域差异的影响明显小于轮作制度差异导致的影响。     

Detection of SNPs in the Cathepsin D Gene and Their Association with Yolk Traits in Chickens

CTSD (Cathepsin D) is a key enzyme in yolk formation, and it primarily affects egg yolk weight and egg weight. However, recent research has mostly focused on the genomic structure of the CTSD gene and the enzyme’s role in pathology, and less is known about the enzyme’s functions in chickens. In this paper, the correlations between CTSD polymorphisms and egg quality traits were analyzed in local Shandong chicken breeds. CTSD polymorphisms were investigated by PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction single strand conformation polymorphism) and sequencing analysis. Two variants were found to be associated with egg quality traits. One variant (2614T>C), located in exon 3, was novel. Another variant (5274G>T), located in intron 4, was previously referred to as rs16469410. Overall, our results indicated that CTSD would be a useful candidate gene in selection programs for improving yolk traits.
