In the present experiment, Pavlovian fear conditioning was adopted to study the effects of different early rearing environments on fear conditioning in adult rats. Weaned rats were reared in three manipulable environments （enriched, social and isolated conditions）. After 8 weeks, fear conditioning （characterized by percentage of freezing） was observed and analyzed, and rats＇ weight, locomoter activity and foot-shock sensitivity were operated too. The results showed that： （1） Compared with control group, the level of conditioned fear was significantly increased in enriched group, but significantly decreased in isolated group; （2） Enriched and isolated conditions influenced rat＇s weight significantly; （3） Different rearing conditions have no effect on locomoter activity and foot-shock sensitivity. These results indicated that early enriched condition could improve the tone-evoked fear conditioning response, while isolated condition impaired the response.

非人灵长类动物是十分重要的生物医学资源。由于与人类在生理生化、免疫、遗传等方面近似,猕猴是重要的非人灵长类实验动物之一。然而,猕猴作为自然宿主,易感染D型逆转录病毒(simian type D retrovirus,SRV)和T淋巴细胞白血病病毒(simian T lymphotropic virus,STLV)这两种逆转录病毒,并可能会影响AIDS猕猴动物模型等的研究结果。猴B病毒(ceropithecine herpesvirus1,BV)对猕猴及动物从业人员均有危害。云南省拥有较大规模的中国猕猴繁殖种群。基于以上原因,建立SPF级别的中国猕猴种群十分必要。该文应用PCR技术筛查了人工饲养种群中411只中国猕猴的SRV、STLV和BV感染流行情况。结果表明:SRV、STLV和BV的阳性感染率分别为19.71%(81/411)、13.38%(55/411)和23.11%(95/411)。同时比较分析了不同性别及年龄组中国猕猴的病毒感染情况。该研究将有助于建立SPF级别的中国猕猴繁殖种群。
