OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether scorpion ex-tract elicits a neuroprotective effect in 1-meth-yl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-treat-ed mice models,and the genes associated with the therapeutic effects using RNA sequencing(seq)analysis.METHODS:This study investigated the changes in interaction between messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)expression and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA)methylation related to the protective effects of scorpion extracts,in the substantia nigra(SN)region of a MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease(PD)model.RESULTS:In this model,scorpion extracts attenuated the motor impairment as demonstrated by the rotarod and open field tests.Scorpion extracts consistently attenuated the decrease of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)positive neural cells in the SN and striatum of mice.We profiled genome-wide DNA methylation using Methyl-Seq and measured the transcriptome using RNA-Seq in murine SN in the following groups:vehicle-treated MPTP-induced PD mice and scorpion extract-treated MPTP-induced PD mice.In total,13 479 differentially expressed genes were identified in association with the anti-PD effect of the scorpion extract,mainly in the promoter and coding regions.Among them,47 were negatively correlated down-regulated genes.Nineteen genes out of 47 down-regulated genes were negatively correlated with the expression of the other 28 genes.Among these genes,SGSM1 was related to dopaminergic neu-rons including dopamine transporters,TH,dihy-droxyphenylalanine decarboxylase,and dopamine D2 receptor.CONCLUSION:This study provides insights into the anti-parkinsonian effects of scorpion extract and reveals the epigenetic targets in its therapeutic mechanism.

鉴定百合资源抗棉蚜性和分析其遗传多样性,可为百合抗蚜及进一步抗病毒病育种提供重要亲本资源,提高百合抗蚜育种效率。连续3年,利用人工蚜虫接种和蚜量比值法鉴定60份百合资源(11份野生种、49份品种),荧光SSR标记分析遗传多样性。60份百合资源根据蚜量比值法可分为5级,12份资源为高感材料,6份资源为感虫材料,4份资源为中抗材料,7份资源为抗虫材料,31份资源为高抗材料。6对SSR引物共检测出35个主要等位变异,每个位点平均5.8个;多态性信息含量为0.5663~0.8940,平均0.7472;基因多样性指
为解决规模化养殖场人工识别捡拾死鸡劳动强度大、效率低等问题,以3~7周周龄笼养肉鸡为操作对象,基于欠驱动理论设计3关节4指死鸡捡拾机器人末端执行器。在肉鸡体尺测量、力学特性测量基础上,采用ADAMS建立机械指参数化模型与肉鸡模型,并依据目标函数、设计变量和约束条件开展机械指结构优化,优化结果显示目标函数增大28.6%。针对3周龄与7周龄肉鸡作末端执行器运动仿真抓取试验,结果表明,机械手传动平稳,机械手结构设计合理。利用机械手试验样机,抓取死亡30 min内肉鸡平均成功率为88.3%,死亡30 min以上肉
通过田间小区试验,研究了施用不同用量土壤调理剂(即,750、1 125、1 500、1 875和2 250 kg·hm-2)对红壤区农田槟榔芋产量和重金属含量的影响,以及土壤基本理化性状的变化规律。结果表明:与不施土壤调理剂处理(对照)相比,土壤调理剂不同施用量处理能增加槟榔芋产量6.2%～12.8%,降低As含量28.9%～40.0%、Hg含量28.6%～50.0%,并提高槟榔芋收获后土壤的pH
为探究干湿循环对土壤斥水性的影响,揭示斥水性随含水率变化内在机理,测定1～3次干湿循环过程中水滴穿透时间(WDPT)和不同含水率土壤核磁共振(T_2)曲线,建立孔隙水分布与WDPT内在联系。结果表明,随土壤含水率增加,WDPT值先增后减;相同含水率下,吸湿过程WDPT值略高于脱湿过程;1次循环后,土壤斥水性出现大幅衰减(减小65%以上)。含水率减小,T_2曲线积分面积和峰值均随之减小;含水率低于1
