On the Cooperation of Jiangmen City with Guangzhou Experimental Station,CATAS in Agricultural Development

Guangdong Province is one of the provinces in China with the best modern agricultural industry and the highest production efficiency.While Jiangmen City,one of the agriculture-based cities in Guangdong Province,has made active exploration in building a modern agricultural system.China has established cooperation with the four largest agricultural research institutes in China to offer technical support for the development of modern agriculture.In this paper,the status quo and existing problems of agricultural development in Jiangmen,Guangdong are briefly introduced.Then,the cooperation status and prospect of local government with the research institutes are discussed.Finally some suggestions are given on the agricultural development pattern in Jiangmen City.

Reflection on the Construction of Tropical and South Subtropical Agricultural Experimental Station CATAS( Jiangmen)

This paper introduces the origin and progress of Tropical and South Subtropical Agricultural Comprehensive Experimental Station( hereinafter referred to as experimental station) CATAS( Jiangmen),formulates the thought for construction of experimental station,analyzes the restrictive factors and puts forward corresponding countermeasures in order to provide reference for the decision- making and implementation of constructing the experimental station.

Effects of Polygonum hydropiper on the expressions of inflammatory cytokines and cytochrome P450 enzymes in mice with E.coli-induced diarrhea

In the present study,we aimed to investigate the effects of Polygonum hydropiper aqueous extract(PHE)on the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and cytochrome P450(CYPs)in mice with E.coli-induced diarrhea.BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the control group,model group,enrofloxacin-treated group,and two PHE-treated groups with different doses.The diarrhea model was established by intraperitoneal injection of enteropathogenic E.coli(EPEC)in mice.The enrofloxacin-treated group was given enrofloxacin at 5 mg/kg by intragastric gavage(i.g.)for 11 d.PHE-treated groups were given PHE at 5 g/kg and 10 g/kg by i.g.for 11 d.The histopathological characteristics of the duodenum and liver were observed by HE staining.The levels of inflammatory cytokines and CYPs in the duodenum and liver of mice were determined by ELISA.The m RNA and protein expressions of CYPs were determined by q RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis,respectively.The results showed that PHE could significantly alleviate the injury of the duodenum and liver induced by EPEC infection,reduce the contents and m RNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines,and regulate the m RNA and protein expressions of the major subtypes of CYPs.These findings indicated that PHE had an apparent therapeutic effect on EPEC-induced diarrhea,and its mechanism might be related to inhibition of inflammatory cytokines and regulation of CYPs.
