Detection and Analysis of Routine Blood Indexes in Guike Pig

[Objectives] In this study,routine blood indexes of Guike pig were detected to clarify quantity variation and morphology distribution of different functional cells（ red blood cells,white blood cells and platelets）,thus providing reference data for immunological evaluation and disease resistance research of Guike pig. [Methods] Blood samples were collected from forty-four 49-day-old healthy Guike pigs（ 22 males and 22 females） once a week for seven consecutive weeks to detect routine blood indexes,and the results were compared with routine blood indexes of Landrace pig and Enshi black pig. [Results]Among red blood cell indexes of Guike pig at different day ages,red blood cell count（ RBC） and hemoglobin count（ HGB） both reached the lowest levels（ 6. 85 × 10^12/L and 97. 1 g/L）at 70 days of age,which were significantly lower than the corresponding indexes at 49,56,63,84 and 91 days of age（ P 〈 0. 05,similarly hereinafter）; mean corpuscular hemoglobin（ MCH） and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration（ MCHC） demonstrated basically the same variation pattern,which both reached the lowest levels（ 15. 11 pg and 275. 70 g/L） at 70 days of age and reached the highest levels（ 16. 40 pg and 314. 30 g/L） at 91 days of age; hematocrit（ HCT）,mean corpuscular volume（ MCV） and red blood cell distribution width（ RDW） exhibited relatively stable changes with no significant differences among different day ages（ P 〉 0. 05,similarly hereinafter）. Among white blood cell indexes of Guike pig at different day ages,white blood cell count（ WBC） reached the lowest level（ 13. 71 × 10^9/L） at 63 days of age and reached the highest level（ 17. 52 × 10^9/L） at 84 days of age,with significant differences; neutrophil count（ NEUT）reached the lowest level（ 3. 61 × 10^9/L） at 70 days of age,which was significantly lower than that at 49,56 and 77 days of age; lymphocyte count（ LYMPH） exhibited relatively stable changes and was not significantly affected by the increase in day age. Among platelet indexes of Guike pig at different day ages,platelet count（ PLT）,thrombocytocrit（ PCT） and platelet volume distribution width（ PDW） exhibited relatively stable changes among different day ages,which were not significantly affected by the increase in day age. Compared to 35-day-old Landrace pig and 5-month-old Enshi black pig,most routine blood indexes of Guike pig were similar to or ranged between those of Landrace pig and Enshi black pig except HCT,mean platelet volume（ MPV）,PCT and PDW. [Conclusions]Guike pig has a certain uniqueness in routine blood indexes,which has developed a stable immune system at 49-91 days of age.

Influence of Exercise at High Temperature on Blood Biochemical Indexes and HSP72 Expression in Adult Males

The influence of exercise at high temperature on adult males＇ routine blood indexes and biochemical indexes and the expression of HSP72 in peripheral blood lymphocytes （PBLs） was studied in order to provide theoretical ground for health supervision of adults receiving exercise at high temperature. 180 adult males were selected and divided into exercise group and control group, in which the exercise group was subdivided into subgroup 1 and subgroup 2 receiving exercise at high temperature in the afternoon and in the morning, respectively. Peripheral venous blood was phle- botomized before and after the exercise to examine routine blood indexes and blood biochemical indexes. The expression levels of HSP72 in PBLs were detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that the routine blood indexes and biochemical indexes in each group were within the range of normal values of male adults. There was no significant difference between each exercise group and control group in indexes before exercise. After exercise, the expression levels of HSP72 in PBLs in exercise groups were higher than those before exercise, and HSP72 expression levels in subgroup 1 were obviously higher than those in subgroup 2 and control group. The contents of ALT, urea, Na＋, Cl-, Ca2＋ and K＋ in subgroups 1 and 2 were lower than those in control group, but CK level was higher than in control group （P〈0.05）. The contents of Na＋ and Clin subgroup 1 were relatively lower than those in subgroup 2 （P〈0.05）. It was concluded that while receiving exercise at high temperature, adult males＇ HSP72 levels in PBLs could be increased and the biochemical indexes changed. Attention should be paid to health supervision to avoid obvious body injuries at high temperature.
