©Relationship between endophytic fungal diversity and colonization and soil factors of cultured blueberry roots in Guizhou Province, Southwest China.

Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) inhabit plant roots and soil in ecosystems and host plants worldwide. DSE colonization is influenced by cultivars, soil factors, and specific habitat conditions. The regular diversity of DSEs in blueberries in Guizhou, China, is still unclear.

Control Effect and Mechanism of TM11 against Blueberry Root Rot.

is the primary pathogen of blueberry root rot; furthermore, we found that can also cause root rot in blueberries. spp. is widely used to control plant diseases.

Effects of the dual inoculation of dark septate endophytes and Trichoderma koningiopsis on blueberry growth and rhizosphere soil microorganisms.

Blueberry is a shallow root plant in which the absorption of nutrients is inefficient, resulting in slow growth under artificial cultivation conditions. Endophytes play an important role in promoting plant growth; however, the effects of Trichoderma spp. and dark septate endophytes (DSEs) on host plant growth and soil microorganisms are still debatable.

[Seasonal dynamics of the physicochemical properties of biological crusts exopolysaccharides and the microbial community structure].

Exopolysaccharides (EPS), an important substance of cyanobacteria in resisting stresses, are the main form of carbon storage in biocrusts and play an important role in material cycling and stability of biocrusts. In this study, the biocrusts in different seasons (January, April, July, October) were collected from Gurbantunggut Desert, and the dynamics of EPS content, composition, morphological characteristics and microbial community structures were analyzed. The results showed that: 1) The excretion of EPS showed obvious seasonal dynamics.

[Analyses on the relative factors regarding diabetic nephropathy].

Objective: To analyze the related factors regarding diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Methods: A total number of 756 diabetic patients from 2009 to 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. Three groups were formed according to the urinary albumin excretion rates (UAER).

[Study on the effects of acupuncture at acupoint and non-acupoint on functional connectivity of different brain regions with functional magnetic resonance imaging].

Objective: To investigate the basis of distinctive function of acupoint through observing the effects of acupuncture at the areas of acupoint and non-acupoint on functional connectivity of different brain regions.

Methods: Twenty-one healthy volunteers were randomly divided into two groups: 12 cases in the acupoint group and 9 cases in the non-acupoints group. Bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and its lateral 3-4 mm were punctured with twirling manipulation in the acupoint group and the non-acupoints group respectively.

[The relation between fasting plasma glucose concentrations and insulin resistance].

Objective: To study whether insulin resistance exists in the Chinese individuals with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) defined by the modified cut-point value (5.6 mmol/L) in 2003 version of ADA criteria for impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

Methods: We selected 9 persons [aged (44 +/- 5) years, body mass index (BMI) (24.
