    The aim of the present study was to assess the association between milk production trait and OPN gene polymorphism in Guizhou Holstein Cows. A total of 200 Guizhou Holstein Cows were used as experimental animals; a set of primers were designed to amplify and sequence the OPN gene by PCR-SSCP assay and DNA sequencing technique respectively, and subsequently the polymorphism of the OPN gene were analyzed; the association between milk production trait and OPN gene polymorphism were evaluated by using correlation analysis method. The results showed that there were two alleles for OPN gene including M and N in Guizhou Holstein Cows and their allele frequency was 0.62 and 0.38, respectively; the group polymorphism information content was 0.360, the heterozygosity was 0.689, and M allele was found as the dominant allele in the population; MM type individual had significantly or extremely significantly higher milk fat percentage and 305 days milk yield compared to NN type individual(P〈0.05 or P〈0.01), and had significantly higher 305 days milk yield compared to MN type individual(P〈0.05). The combined data suggest that MM genotype of OPN gene may serve as a molecular mark for selection of the traits of high milk fat percentage and milk yield in Guizhou Holstein Cows.

    In order to improve the teaching effect of Animal Husbandry Microbiology practice, task-driven method was applied in practical teaching. A total of 62 students from 2 classes were randomly divided into four test groups. Task-driven method and conventional method were applied respectively. Students were scored based on the results of task completion and questionnaire.The results showed that the students in group 1 and group 3 who were taught with task-driven method had a much better grasp of practical contents compared to the students in group 2 and group 4 who were taught with conventional method, and the former had higher participation and enthusiasm for experiment content compared to the latter. In written examination of experimental course,there were 12 and 15 students in task-driven method taught groups who were able to completely master the knowledge they had learned respectively, accounting for 85.0% and 93.7% of the total number of students respectively; there were 5 and 6 students in conventional method taught groups who were able to completely master the knowledge they had learned respectively, accounting for 33.3% and 37.5% of the total number of students respectively, but they had lower participation and enthusiasm compared to the students in task-driven method taught groups. The results proved that the introduction of task-driven method in the Animal Husbandry Microbiology practice can obviously improve the teaching effect.

    Autophagy is a highly conserved and lysosomal-mediated process for the degradation of intracellular proteins and organelles to maintain the intracellular environment. Autophagy is involved in cellular physiological processes that affect the progression of some human diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and nervous system diseases. Meanwhile, it also acts as a cellular defense mechanism to prevent the host from infections caused by certain pathogenic bacteria and virus. At present, there are many ways to study autophagy: observing the morphological structure of autophagosome by transmission electron microscopy;estimating the autophagic activity by calculating the size and number of the tested autophagosome; determining the occurrence of autophagy in cells by testing the presence of autophagy protein LC3 in autophagosome membrane; detecting the autophagosome by monodansylcadaverine(MDC) staining method; determining the autophagic flux. The commonly used detection methods for autophagy are introduced, in hoping to provide references for the autophagy researchers.

    In order to determine the seroprevalence of rabies virus among dogs in Wenzhou of Zhejiang Province, plasma samples of 351 dogs were tested forIgG antibodies against rabies virus by ELISA. The results revealed that rabies virus IgG antibodies were detected in 163(46.44%) of the 351 dogs; male dogs had slightly higher antibodies positive rate compared to female ones(P〉0.05), and the seroprevalence was extremely significantly higher in neutered dogs than intact dogs(P〈0.01); extremely significantly higher seroprevalence was observed in adult dogs compared to young(P〈0.01) and geriatric dogs(P〈0.01); the seroprevalence in household dogs was extremely significantly higher than dogs in training field(P〈0.01) and stray dogs(P〈0.01). The combined data suggest that the rabies virus prevails in dogs at a moderate level in Wenzhou, the management of dogs in training field and stray dogs should be enhanced, and the immunization coverage against rabies virus for dogs should be extended, so as to control the spread of rabies in this region.
