Poor proteolytic resistance is an urgent problem to be solved in the clinical application of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), yet common solutions, such as complicated chemical modifications and utilization d-amino acids, greatly increase difficulty cost producing AMPs. In this work, a set novel was synthesized based on antitrypsin/antichymotrypsin hydrolytic peptide structure unit (XYPX)n (X represents I, L, V; Y R K), which designed using systematic natural amino acid arrangement. Of these...
Commensalism coinfection of pathogens has seriously jeopardized human health. Currently, Kunitzin-RE, as an amphibian-derived bioactivity peptide, is regarded a potential antimicrobial candidate. However, its properties were unsatisfactory. In this study, set shortened variants Kunitzin-RE was developed by the interception peptide fragment and single-site mutation to investigate effect chain length, positive charge, hydrophobicity, amphipathicity, secondary structure on properties. Among...
Oxidative stress is the imbalanced redox status between oxidant production and their scavengers leading to intestinal physiological dysfunction. However, role of systemic local oxidative during neonatal calf diarrhea not known. This study assessed (serum) (fecal) when calves either naturally developed or recovered. Healthy were enrolled in at d 18 age, health was monitored from enrollment. Based on enteric 21 28, grouped as continuous 28 (n = 14), but recovered (DH group, n 19), healthy (HD...
Different alcoholic beverages and drinking patterns might exert divergent impacts on liver disease (ALD) progression. Whether the abundant non-alcoholic components (NAC) in fermented wine could alleviate ethanol (EtOH)-induced adverse influences remains unknown. Hence, chronic ALD mouse model was established to compare effects of Huangjiu (a typical wine) EtOH feeding liver, intestinal barrier, gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content. Although intake led slight hepatic...
The three nonlinear curves of Logistic, Gompertz and Bertalanffy model were used to fit the growth in Jinghai Yellow chicken different sex. results indicated that models well fitted prediction parameters. Females reached inflexion point at earlier age than males; however, their body weight was significantly lighter males. Inflexion 1098.99, 1161.86 1392.91 g for males 824.29, 827.99 918.67 female estimated from models, respectively. Fitting degrees (R ) higher 99%. lower 2
Disease is the main reason for use of antimicrobials in calf rearing, and antibiotics are commonly used to treat calves, including unknown diseases. This leads antimicrobial resistance, which a challenge livestock industry public health. Plant products containing high levels phytochemicals may improve immunity resistance calves against infections, thereby reducing antimicrobials. study aimed investigate effect
Supplemental irrigation under a ridge-furrow (RF) cropping system is valuable practice that balances resource efficiency and high crop yield. However, the effects of nitrogen management on growth, yield formation, economic benefits RF systems have not been clearly investigated. In this study, experiment was designed with three experimental factorials, including (RF, 80 mm irrigation; TF1, traditional flat 200 TF2, irrigation), two application rates (NL, 180 kg N ha−1; NH, 240 ha−1),...
In order to study the influence of long-term growth process and evolution environment on intestinal bacteria different breeds, volatile fatty acids among faeces Min, Landrace Yorkshire pigs were analysed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing 16S-rDNA gas chromatography. The shared core microbiota Landrace, Min pig 1273, accounting for 69.56% total abundance organisms. proportion Firmicutes in (57.89%) was significantly higher than that (47.01% 46.40%, respectively) (P < 0.05), but...
Abstract Pathogen isolation and identification were performed on Actinidia arguta ‘Longcheng No. 2’ occurring bacterial canker from Liaoning Province, China. The pathogenic bacteria identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) by the analysis of morphology,16S rRNA gyrB sequence, which Psa biovar 2 Psa-specific primer sequence analysis. pathogenicity tests carried out with isolate ‘R12’ type strain ‘M228’ (biovar 3) a control; results showed that phloem green stems in A. ‘Kuilv’...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects maternal dietary intake on amino acid and fatty contents in eggs during laying period. An experiment with a 2×2 factorial design conducted two levels (100 75% recommended by Chinese Ministry Agriculture) broiler lines (fat lean line). A total 384 hens fat line at 23 weeks age were included experiment. Each randomly divided into treatments (n = 192 each treatment, 12 replications), replication 16 birds. LN (lean normal intake, n 192), LL...
In the experiment, effects of maternal dietary energy restriction on carcase, meat quality and antioxidant capacity in broilers were evaluated. A total 400 25-weeks-old Arbour Acres broiler breeder female birds randomly assigned to four groups (T1, T2, T3 T4) with different metabolisable levels (11.70, 9.36, 8.19 5.85 MJ kg−1). Female restrictively fed same intake. Broilers from diets similar nutrients contents during deferent growth period. Low decreased egg weight offspring hatch weight....
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a worldwide issue, and the increased incidence has brought heavy burden to patients society. Gut microbiota involved in pathogenesis of IBD, targeting microbiota, such as probiotics, emerged potential therapy for treatment IBD. Here, effect Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis LKM512 (LKM512), an anti-aging probiotic, on dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced IBD larval zebrafish was determined. Supplementation promoted survival rate larvae, together...
The photosynthetic performance of variegated leaves can be very important in the cultivation and management plants. Actinidia kolomikta (Rupr. & Maxim.) Maxim. have striking color variation. To clarify leaf type cost, we measured structure ultrastructure, spectral properties, chlorophyll fluorescence net rate (Pn). study was conducted Jilin during spring, summer, fall 2013. Leaf anatomy ultrastructure were observed with light electron microscopy. reflectance pigment content a Unispec...
Poor protease stability is an urgent problem to be solved in the clinical application of AMPs, yet common solutions, such as complicated chemical modifications and use D-amino acids, greatly increase difficulty cost producing AMPs. A series novel peptides was synthesized base on anti-enzymatic hydrolysis peptide structure unit (XYPX) n (X represents I, L V; Y R K) this study, which designed using a systematic natural amino acid arrangement. Of these peptides, R7I with 7 repeat units had...
