Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine.2007;17(11):670-675.

Objective To achieve the fusion expression of the entire human beta-defensin-3(hBD-3) gene. Method We synthesized two oligonucleotide primers accor ding to the codon preference of Escherichia coli. The gene was cloned into p GEX -4T-2 to establish the pGEX-4T-2-hBD-3 as the fusion expression vector by PCR. Transformed into E.coli strain DH5α, the express vector was induced an d ex pressed by IPTG. The fusion protein GST-hBD-3 was obtained by repeated cycles of freezing and thawing, cut by thrombin to attain the recombinant hBD-3 protei n. Result The result of the antibacterial peptide agarose diffu sion assay shows the antibacterial activity of the rhBD-3 against the S.aureu s exists, and it reaches 0.843U. Conclusion The fusion expr ession of the hBD-3 gene is successful.

Hong LIANG ; Jianjun ZHANG ; Anli WANG

Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine.2006;16(7):429-435.

This paper reported the history of avian flu outbreaks in China from 1996 to 2006, directed the characteristics of avian influenza outbreaks in recent years. China is one of the biggest poultry producers in the world and many migratory birds go through China, China faces high risk of pandemic bird flu. The continuing occurrence of sporadic human cases indicates that the virus is continuing to circulate in birds in some parts of the country. In the fighting again avian flu virus, China has developed some possible practice on precautionary and control measure. China enhances international cooperation and scientific involvement in the prevention and control of the avian flu. The State Council and Ministry of Agriculture issued the laws and regulations on avian flu. Wild birds may have played a role in getting domestic fowl and human beings infected with bird flu. Poultry manure is considered to be another key source of the spread routes of H5N1 virus, but the bio - security processing in free range poultry farming and waste products is very poor disposition in China. Epidemic control at grassroots level still needs to be strengthened.

Refining Animal Models to Enhance Animal Welfare

Patricia V.TURNER

Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine.2012;22(1):1-4. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671.7856.2012.001.001

The use of animals in research will be necessary for scientific advances in the basic and biomedical sciences for the foreseeable future.As we learn more about the ability of animals to experience pain,suffering,and distress,and particularly for mammals,it becomes the responsibility of scientists,institutions,animal caregivers,and veterinarians to seek ways to improve the lives of research animals and refine their care and use.Refinement is one of the three R's emphasized by Russell and Burch,and refers to modification of procedures to minimise the potential for pain,suffering and distress. It may also refer to procedures used to enhance animal comfort. This paper summarizes considerations for refinements in research animal.

Jiaqi LU ; Jihong LIU ; Yan ZHOU ; Lijun GE ; Jianfei WANG

Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine.2014;(4):78-82. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671.7856.2014.004.017

As a vital component in an overall laboratory animal care and use program , development of a disaster plan plays a critical role for every research institution .Currently, most of domestic institutions would draw up an“emergency operation plan , EOP”, but ignoring a practicable “business continuity plan , BCP” in establishing a disaster plan.In this article, we will discusse about the definition of disaster , how to set up an EOP, and how to establish a thorough BCP , in order to show an integrated and professional disaster plan in laboratory animal care and use program .

Objective To measure the range of routine blood counts and blood biochemical parameters ,to analyze hemorheology of the rats with congenital cataract .Methods Blood samples were taken from 90 rats with congenital cataract weight about 185 ~211 g.Routine blood analysis was performed and blood biochemical and hemorheology paramenters were determind using an automatic blood biochemical and hemorheology analyzer .Results There were no significant difference ( P >0.05 ) between the cataract rats and the normal rats in Blood test results; but there were significant difference between the microphthalmos cataract rats and the normal same -sex rats ( P <0.01 or P <0.05 ) . The biochemical results is the cataract rats and the normal rats were different significantly in ALB group ( P <0.01 or P<0.05), and the female microphthalmos cataract rats compared with the control rats had significant difference in Ure (P<0.01) , the female cataract rats ompared with the normal rats were very significant difference in Cr group ( P <0.05 or P <0.01).The erythrocyte counts of the male cataract rats and male microphthalmos cataract rats were significantly lower than that in the female ones, respectively(P <0.05, P <0.01).The platelet counts of the male cataract rats and the male microphthalmos cataract rats were significantly higher than that in the female ones , respectively(P <0.01), and the creatinine of the male cataract rats and the male microphthalmos cataract rats were significantly lower then that in the female ones, respectively(P <0.01).There were no significant difference in every group on hemorheology .Conclusions There were significant differences in some blood indexes between the congenital cataract rats and the normal rats .These data may become useful reference for biomedical researcher in this field .

Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine.2014;(3):45-49. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671.7856.2014.003.010

Objective To obtain more physiological data of Leptin knockout SD rats available for the user , the long-term observation of fasting blood glucose and pathological phenotypes were performed .Methods The protein expression levels in liver tissues were determined by western blot .Body weight of Leptin knockout rats ( Leptin-/-) and littermate lean rats (Leptin+/+) were weighed up at 1,3,6,8 months of age.Fasting blood glucose of Leptin +/+rats and Leptin-/-rats at 1,3,6,8 months of age were measured using One Touch? brand blood glucose monitoring systems.Pathological changes of pancreas and livers of Leptin -/-rats were observed by the method of HE staining and Immunohistochemistry (IHC).Results Short null Lepin proteins were expressed in liver tissues from Leptin -/-rats. Leptin-/-rats become heavier than Leptin +/+rats since they were one month old .The body weight of Leptin -/-rats at 8 months of age was twice as heavy as Leptin +/+rats, female Leptin-/-rats weighing 884g, and male Leptin-/-rats weighing 1200g.Overt hyperglycemia was observed during the first month after birth .Compared with Leptin+/+female rats,the fasting blood glucose of Leptin -/-female rats was increased by 40%-26%from 1 to 6 months old. After that, blood glucose values decreased and eventually become nearly normal at 8 months of age.Pathological examination indicated that Leptin -/-rats at 8 months of age had a fatty liver , more pancreas islets with lager volume and more beta cells with increased insulin secretion .Conclusion Leptin-/-rat were characterized by obesity , fatty liver, islet cell hyperplasia and early hyperglycemia .
