[Method] The Adiponectin receptors cDNAs were amplified by RT-PCR using skeletal muscle total RNA as template and then ligated into pMD18-T vector after purification. The recombinant pMD18-T vector was transformed into the E. coil DH5α for identification and sequencing. And the results were compared with the cDNA sequence from other species. [Result] The fragments, 1 128 bp and 1 161 bp in size, were amplified by RT-PCR and respectively consistent with the coding sequence of AdipoR1 gene and AdipoR2 gene. The homology analysis showed that the sequences of AdipoR1 gene and AdipoR2 gene were respectively 99.8% and 99.7% homologous to the sequence of domestic pig reported in GenBank with one base and three base missense mutations correspondingly. [ Conclusion] The AdipoR1 gene and AdipoR2. gene were successfully amplified from Guangxi Bama mini-pig, laying the foundation for the further study of the biological function of AdipoR genes and the design of novel drugs with AdipoR as target.展开更多

In Burkina Faso, non-compliance with good practice in the use of pesticides poses a real health problem for the population. This study examines the health risks associated with pesticide management in rice-growing areas. Material and Methods: A field survey was conducted in Bama, involving farmers, focusing on their socio-demographic characteristics, pesticide usage, and health effects. Cholinesterase levels were measured in subsample of farmers using a portable device. Data were analysed using Microsoft Excel, calculating means and percentages for various practices. Health consultations, protection methods, and pesticide management were studied. Erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity was compared before and after treatment. Data were categorised into classes based on inhibition levels, and correlation analyses determined relationships between variables such as age, years of experience, and cholinesterase activity. Results: The results indicate that rice cultivation is mainly carried out by a fairly young population, with nearly 63% being under the age of 50. Common poor practices in pesticide use include improper storage and reuse of leftover pesticides. Seven types of pesticides were identified, including organophosphates such as glyphosate, which was used in 26.7% of cases. This organophosphate has resulted in class B poisoning, causing a 30% - 50% reduction in erythrocyte cholinesterase activity. The health effects of pesticide use are felt by agricultural farmers through various symptoms of poisoning. Conclusion: To reduce the occurrence of pesticide poisoning, it is essential to launch information and awareness campaigns among the population and farmers to promote safe practices in pesticide use in Bama, Burkina Faso.展开更多
文摘目的以革兰阴性菌外膜蛋白折叠辅助因子关键蛋白BamA为靶蛋白,基于生物膜干涉(Biolayer interferometry,BLI)技术建立化合物与BamA蛋白β折叠结构域(BamA_(β-barrel))结合活性的评价方法,为建立靶向BamA蛋白的抗革兰阴性菌先导物奠定基础。方法应用BLI方法检测BamA_(β-barrel)与已知的阳性化合物darobactin的结合活性。原核表达并纯化带有His标签的大肠埃希菌BamA_(β-barrel)蛋白,使用表面活性剂LDAO对其进行复性和折叠;使用生物素标记折叠和未折叠蛋白,并结合到超级链霉亲和素(super streptavidin,SSA)生物传感器,然后检测蛋白与不同浓度的darobactin结合信号的变化,同时做无蛋白或darobactin稀释液对照;空白对照采用未结合生物素化的BamA_(β-barrel)蛋白的传感器,检测上述系列稀释样品。相应信号采用Steady state analysis方式拟合分析,计算平衡常数(KD)值。结果成功获得高纯度的折叠状态BamA_(β-barrel)蛋白,通过BLI技术检测到折叠状态的BamA_(β-barrel)与阳性化合物darobactin具有良好结合活性且呈现浓度依赖性,R^(2)为0.9998,KD值为(2.2E-06±8.0E-08)M。结论基于BLI技术成功建立了折叠状态的BamA_(β-barrel)-化合物结合活性的评价方法,为后续BamA蛋白靶向性抗革兰阴性菌抗生素的发现建立基础。
