Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture exercise therapy synchronizing isokinetic muscle strength training on the motor function, stability and proprioception of knee joint, as well as the anxiety emotion in patients after meniscectomy under arthroscopy.

Methods: A total of 70 patients after meniscectomy under arthroscopy were randomized into an observation group (35 cases, 2 cases were eliminated, 2 cases dropped off) and a control group (35 cases, 2 cases were eliminated, 1 case dropped off). Acupuncture was applied at Chize (LU 5), Neixiyan (EX-LE 4), Dubi (ST 35),Yanglingquan (GB 34), etc.

Background: Field trapping experiments were carried out to evaluate effective trap characteristics for maximising Ips duplicatus (Sahlberg) catches in pheromone-baited traps in China.

Results: Window-slot and cross-barrier traps had significantly higher catches than multiple-funnel traps. The colour of window-slot traps showed a significant effect on catches, with dark colours (black and red) being more effective than light colours, especially white and yellow.

Volatiles from Ips duplicatus male hindgut extracts and aeration samples of spruce logs colonized by the virgin males were analyzed by coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), coupled gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD), and field trapping bioassays in Inner Mongolia, China. GC-MS analyses showed that males from nuptial chambers (for reproduction) produced hindgut volatile profiles similar to those of maturation feeding males from the nonreproductive galleries. The known aggregation pheromone components, ipsdienol (Id) and E-myrcenol (EM) are the major constituents of this blend, followed by several minor bark beetle-related compounds: 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol, ipsenol, cis-verbenol, verbenone, 2-phenylethanol, myrtenol, and trans-myrtanol.

Fourteen wheat cultivars were identified into six types of Wx proteins combinations using 6% SDS-PAGE. PCR primers were designed according to the three Wx genes sequences and their mutants, respectively. A 327 bp-band was amplified from the Wx-A1 mutant,while the band was absent for the normal alleles at the Wx-A1 locus,as well as the presence or absence of a 187 bp PCR fragment at the Wx-B1 locus and a 700 bp PCR fragment at the Wx-D1 locus, respectively, corresponding to the normal and mutant alleles.

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular marker was used to measure the genetic diversity of D-genome in 26 synthesized hexaploid wheat (AABBDD) introduced from CIMMYT. Twenty-three D-genome specific SSR primers were selected for PCR amplification, among which 22 primers can detect polymorphism. A total of 92 alleles were identified at 23 loci using the above SSR primers, with an average of 4 alleles per locus.
