The Influence of Intramammary Lipopolysaccharide Infusion on Serum Ca,P, Vitamin D,Cytokines and Cortisol Concentrations in Lactating Sows

Ten multiparous lactating sows were used to investigate whether intramammary infusion of lipopolysaccharides (LPS; Escherichia coli 0111:B4; 2.0 μg/kg of body weight) would affect the circulating concentrations of Ca, P, 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25‐OHD), tumour necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and cortisol. The sows were randomly allotted to either control group (control) or LPS‐treated group with five individuals per group and were infused with either physiological saline solution or LPS solution. The rectal temperature and udder quarter appearance were recorded at 0 (just before infusion), 1, 3, 7, 12 or 24 h after infusion. Blood samples were taken at 0, 1, 3, 7, 12 or 24 h after infusion. Before infusion, the rectal temperatures of all sows were below 39.2°C. At 3 and 7 h after infusion, the sows in the LPS group had a rectal temperature over 39.4°C. At 24 h after infusion, the rectal temperatures returned to pre‐infusion levels. Serum Ca and P concentrations in the LPS group decreased (P < 0.05) after LPS infusion compared with the control group at 1 h after infusion. No significant differences (P > 0.05) in the concentrations of 25‐OHD were observed between groups control and LPS at any sampling time. Increased (P < 0.01) concentrations of serum TNF‐α, IL‐6 and cortisol were observed in the LPS group compared with the control group at 3 and 7 h after infusion respectively. In conclusion, the elevation of serum concentrations of TNF‐α, IL‐6 and cortisol and the alterations of circulating concentrations of Ca and P following LPS infusion indicate that the immune system has been activated and immune activation may affect macromineral homeostatic regulation, which might have important implications for metabolic health of lactating sows. Lowered serum Ca and P following immune activation also shows a causative mechanism whereby immune activation increases the risk of secondary disorders such as mastitis‐metritis‐agalactia syndrome. However, immune activation did not affect circulating concentrations of vitamin D metabolites.

重组2型腺相关病毒-转化生长因子β3对实验性肝纤维化大鼠肝脏组织病理学和Ⅰ型胶原表达的影响

Objective To investgate the effects of TGF β 3 on rat hepatic fibrosis. Methods The TGF β 3 cDNA was cloned into rAAV2 vector. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, negative control group and TGF β 3 group. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injection of 40% CCI4. Recombinant AAV2-TGF β 3 viral particles were injected via the vena caudalis one week before CCh treatment. Rats were executed 8 weeks after CCI4 treatment, global histological change was observed after HE staining, the distribution of the collagen fibers was observed after masson staining, his-tochemistry was done to observe the expression of collagen Ⅰ; The positive area rate of the collagen fibers and the average optical rate of collagen Ⅰ were quantified. Results HE staining indicated that collagen fibers were reduced in the TGF β 3 group. Masson staining shown that the collagen fibers were distributed around the blood vessel, in the portal area and disse space. Compared to the model group (13.2%±2.2%) and negative control group (12.3%±1.5%), the collagen fibers in liver tissues of TGF β3 group (7.7% ± 1.5%) were significantly decreased (q = 9.456, P < 0.01; q = 8.217, P < 0.01). Histochemistry indicated that the collagen fibers of liver tissues of TGF 15 3 group (0.185±0.033) were significantly higher than those in the model group (0.252±0.042) and the negative control group (0.230±0.029), (q = 6.228, P < 0.01; q = 4.346, P < 0.01). Conclusion TGF β 3 alleviates the damage to hepatic cell and the level offibrosis in CCI4 treated rats and inhibits the expression of collagen Ⅰ.     

Soluble polystyrene derivatives of metal bis(3,4-dicarboxybenzoyl)phthalocyaninates: Synthesis,thermal analysis,and sensitivity towards toxic gases

Polystyrene-bound metal [2,9 or 2,10 (or 2,16 or 2,17) bis(3,4-dicarboxybenzoyl)]phthalocyaninates were synthesized by Friedel-Crafts reaction of polystyrene with the corresponding metal phthalocyaninates. Co(II) and Cu(II) [2,9 or 2,10 (or 2,16 or 2,17) bis(3,4-dicarboxybenzoyl)]-phthalocyaninate (PS-CodaPc and PS-CudaPc) contained 0,13 mmol · g^?1 (12,4 wt.-%) and 0,13 mmol · g^?1 (12,8 wt.-%) of CodaPc and CudaPc, respectively. They were soluble in N,N'-dimethylformamide, but only partially soluble in chloroform, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and pyridine. The THF extracts contained 0,12 mmol · g^?1 (11,4 wt.-%) and 0,18 mmol ? g^?1 (17,2 wt.-%) of PS-CodaPc and PS-CudaPc, respectively. The thermal stability of the polymers was studied using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis in nitrogen and synthetic air atmosphere. The contents of MdaPc(M: metal) in THF-extracted polymers calculated from the data of residue in thermogravimetric analysis are 0,12 mmol · g^?1 for PS-CodaPc and 0,19 mmol · g^?1 for PS-CudaPc. In addition, the sensitive properties of the polymers towards toxic gases were also investigated by quartz microbalance transducers. The results show that the quartz microbalance sensors coated with both polymers were sensitive to NO₂ and chlorinated hydrocarbons, i.e. chloroform and perchloroethylene. The sensitivity to NO₂ was 6,53 · 10^?7 m³ · mL^?1 · s^?1 for PS-CodaPc and 1,90 · 10^?6 m³ · mL^?1 · s^?1 for PS-CudaPc, and that to chloroform and perchloroethylene was 2,33 · 10^?8 and 4,60 · 10^?8 m³ · mL^?1 · s^?1, respectively, for PS-CodaPc and 4,79 · 10^?8 and 9,51 · 10^?7 m³ · mL^?1 · s^?1 for PS-CudaPc.
