This experiment was conducted to study the effects of replacing feed protein by Herme-tia illucens larvae meal on immune function,intestinal morphology and microflora of Sichuan white geese.A total of 64 healthy 1-day-old Sichuan white geese were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 4 replicates in each group and 4 geese in each replicate,namely the control group,the 2%HILM,4%HILM and 8%HILM groups fed diets contained 0%,2%,4%and 8%of HILM,re-spectively.The experimental period was 40 days.The results showed that compared with the con-trol group,8%HILM increased the levels of serum IgG1,IgG2a and complement C3,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).4%HILM significantly increased the expression level of CD4(P<0.05),and 8%HILM significantly increased the expression level of IL-10(P<0.05).The ratio of villus length to crypt depth(VH/CD)in the jejunum and ileum in 4%HILM group was significantly increased(P<0.05).The SIgA level of jejunum was significantly increased in all HILM replacement groups(P>0.05).The abundance of Bacteroides in 4%HILM group were extremely significantly increased(P<0.01),and the abundance of Bilophila and Bilophila wadsworthia were significantly decreased in all HILM replacement groups(P<0.05).In conclu-sion,HILM can enhance the immune function of Sichuan white geese,improve the intestinal mor-phology of jejunum and ileum,enhance the local mucosal immunity of jejunum,increase the abun-dance of beneficial bacteria in cecum and decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria in cecum,and protect intestinal health.

To explore the effect of Macleaya cordata extract(MCE)on growth performance and serum biochemistry of Sichuan White Geese,and to analyze its mechanism of action by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology combined with animal experiments verification.A total of 90 1-day-old healthy goslings were randomly divided into 5 groups with 18 goslings per group after 5 d of adaptive feeding.The control group(CON)was fed with basal diet,the antibiotic group(CTC)was supplemented with 450 mg/kg chlortetracycline premix,and the low MCE group(MCEL),medium MCE group(MCEM)and high MCE group(MCEH)were supple-mented with 200,300 and 400 mg/kg MCE,respectively.The experimental period was 21 d.On the basis of the above experiments,Network pharmacology and molecular docking technology were used to predict the core targets and signaling pathways of MCE to promote geese growth from the levels of antioxidant,immune and apoptosis,and the expression levels of the core target genes were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that compared with the CON group,MCE supplementation could increase the average daily weight gain,decrease the ratio of feed to gain,significantly increase the contents of serum GH,T3,T4,TP and ALB(P<0.05),and significantly decrease the contents of serum AST and TG(P<0.05).Network pharmacology analysis predicted 2 active ingredient and 237 active ingredient targets,and concluded that the mechanism of MCE promoting the growth of Sichuan White Geese may be related to the role of 5 key targets such as SRC,HSP90AA1,CASP3,ESR1 and MAPK14,and the action of MAPK,apop-tosis and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients of sanguinarine and chelerythrine in MCE could act through MAPK14.The validation results of core targets showed that MCE could significantly reduce the mRNA expression levels of CytC,CASP2,CASP3 and CASP9 in spleen(P<0.05)and significantly increase the mRNA expression levels of Mcl-1(P<0.05).These results indicated that MCE could promote the growth performance of Si-chuan White Geese by regulating apoptosis,promoting the secretion of serum growth-related hor-mones and improving biochemical indicators.

Objective:To observe the long-term effect of repairing soft tissue defect of the digital palmar with medial plantar artery perforators flap.Methods:From January, 2012 to February, 2015, 15 cases of digital palmar soft tissue defect were selected clinically, including 8 cases with phalangeal fracture, 5 cases with flexor tendon injury, and 9 cases with digital artery and nerve injury. The soft tissue defect area was 7.0 cm×2.5 cm-2.4 cm×3.0 cm. The medial pedis perforators flap with deep branch of medial plantar artery as pedicle and terminal cutaneous branch of saphenous nerve was cut out. The artery of the flap was anastomosed with the digital artery or common digital artery, 1 accompanying vein or superficial vein was selected to anastomose with the dorsal digital vein, and the cutaneous nerve was anastomosed with the digital nerve or common digital nerve. The perforating point, number, source of perforating vessels and the length of vessel pedicle were observed during the operation, and the color, shape, stability and TPD of the flap were observed through long-term followed-up. The good and excellent rate of the affected finger was evaluated and whether there was obvious scar, abnormal sensation and abnormal walking gait in the donor area.Results:All flaps survived and the wounds healed in one stage. All 15 patients were followed-up for 36-72 months, with an average of 48.5 months. The color and thickness of the flap were similar to that of the normal digital palmar, and the flap was wear-resistant, stable and strong in holding. The TPD was 9-12 mm. Twelve patients had transverse finger striations at the interphalangeal joint. According to the Trial Standard of the Function Evaluation of the Upper Limb of the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, 10 cases were excellent, 4 cases were good, 1 case was acceptable, and the good and excellent rate was 93.3%. There was no painful scar or abnormal sensation in the donor area. The ankle and foot function was good, and the gait was normal.Conclusion:The thickness, color and texture of the medial pedis perforator flap are similar to that of the palmar skin, and it is an ideal choice for repairing the palmar skin defect.
