    The paper was to obtain the VP1 protein of FMDV serotype A with high activity. With recombinant plasmid pMD19A-T-vp1 as the template,vp1 gene fragment amplified by PCR was connected into prokaryotic expression vector pET28 a to construct recombinant plasmid pET-A-vp1.The E. coli BL21( DE3) strain containing recombinant plasmid pET-A-vp1 were induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE showed that VP1 protein was expressed in the form of inclusion body,and its molecular weight was about 29 ku. Based on the optimizing IPTG concentration and expression time,the largest expression of VP1 protein was induced by 0. 3 mmol /L IPTG for 6 h at 37 ℃. Western-Blot analysis indicated that the expression of VP1 protein could be specifically recognized by positive serum of FMDV serotype A. ELISA test showed that VP1 inclusion body protein had high activity after purification by washing and renaturation by urea concentration gradient dialysis.

    [Objective] The paper was to investigate the relationship between pathological lesion and transcription,expression and distribution of heat shock protein 60( HSP60) in kidney of chickens infected by Marek's disease virus( MDV). [Method] Tumor animal model was successfully established with chickens infected by MDV. Real-time RT-PCR,histopathological and immunohistochemistrical methods were used to detect the pathological lesion,transcription level,expression level and distribution of HSP60 in the kidney. [Result]Obvious pathological changes appeared in kidney tissue of chicken after injection of MDV for 21 d. HSP60 was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of tumor cell and interstitial macrophages.The expression of HSP60 in challenge group was always higher than blank control group and vaccine control group,and the difference reached extremely significant level from 28 to 86 day-ages( P <0. 01); the expression of HSP60 in challenge group at 28 day-age was about 8. 608 and 12. 752 times of blank control group and vaccine control group,respectively. The mRNA transcription levels of HSP60 in challenge group showed a downward parabola during 7 to 42 day-ages; the mRNA transcription level of HSP60 in challenge group was rising in early stage( 7- 21 d),and then gradually dropped; it reached the peak value at 21 d,being 1. 222 and 1. 179 times of blank control group and vaccine control group,respectively.The mRNA transcription level of HSP60 was higher than two control groups throughout the entire experiment,and the difference reached extremely significant level from 14 to 28 day-ages( P <0. 01). [Conclusion] HSP60 expression in kidney tissue and its mRNA transcription level can reflect MDV infection,tumor formation and development progress,with close relationship with pathogenesis of tumor diseases,which is expected to be used as one of the determination indicators for diagnosis and morbidity process of tumor diseases in chicken.

    The paper was to study construction and expression of rGhrelin( pcDNA3- Ghrelin) and its effect on growth performance and gastric acid secretion of rats. Ghrelin amplified from gastric mucosa of weaned piglets was cloned into the expression vector pcDNA3 to get recombinant plasmid pcDNA3- Ghrelin. Twelve weaning rats were randomly divided into two groups,six rats each group. The rats in each treatment group were individually injected with 100μg of naked plasmid pcDNA3- Ghrelin,and the rats in control group were injected with empty plasmid. The weights and feed consumption of rats were measured after injection for 7,14 and 29 d,respectively. The rats were sacrificed at the end of the experiment,and their stomach was separated and weighed,the pH value of gastric juice was measured as well. The results showed that the average daily gain of rats at7 and 29 d were significantly higher than that in control group,respectively( P <0. 05),and feed consumption did not have significant changes; the feed meat ratio of rats in the treatment groups was significantly lower than that in control group( P <0. 05); the gastric relative weight and gastric weight did not change significantly,while the pH value of gastric juice of rats in treatment groups was significantly lower than that in control group( P<0. 05). This indicated that after transfected expression of muscle tissue,ghrelin played an important regulatory role in growth and gastric acid secretion of rats.

    XU Shi-cai;XI Zeng-jun;SHEN Xue-jian;AI Jia-le;

    In order to reduce the economic costs for breeding Tenebrio molitor L. and increase the utilization rate of corn stalk,with corn,wheat bran and corn stalk as the raw materials,13 different compound feed were designed by Minitab( R) 15. 1. 0. 0. The design was then divided into two groups based on addition or without addition of vegetable leaves to study the effects of compound feed and vegetable leaves on growth and development of T. molitor. The results showed that body weight,duration,crude protein content and pupation rate of larvae and emergence rate of adults were significantly affected by compound feed and vegetable leaves( P <0. 05). The larvae bred with feed 5 had the largest body weight,with the shortest duration; the larvae bred with feed 3 had the highest pupation rate; the larvae bred with feed 7 had the highest crude protein content;the adult bred with feed 9 had the largest emergence rate. Overall breeding effect of feed 7 + vegetable leaves was better than any other groups,with ideal indicators,higher utilization rate and lower breeding cost. Its formula was w( wheat bran) = 33. 33%,w( corn) = 33. 33%,w( corn stalks) = 33. 33%. Therefore,the growth of T. molitor was significantly affected by feed types,and feed 7 + vegetable leaves could be promoted in the production.
