Biocontrol mechanism of Myxococcus fulvus B25-I-3 against Phytophthora infestans and its control efficiency on potato late blight.

Phytophthora infestans is the pathogen of potato late blight, which is one of the most serious diseases of the potato. Myxobacteria, especially Myxococcus, become a valuable biological control resource due to their preponderant abilities to produce various secondary metabolites with novel structure and remarkable biological activity. In a previous study, Myxococcus fulvus B25-I-3 with antagonistic activity against P.

[Association of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels with heart rate variability in diabetic patients].

Objective: To investigate the correlation between pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with diabetes.

Methods: HRV and NT-proBNP levels were assessed in 58 patients with diabetes.The time domain and frequency domain indices and the level of NT-proBNP were compared between patients with normal and abnormal HRV, and the correlation of HRV index and NT-proBNP was analyzed.

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Sagittaria trifolia var. sinensis (Alismataceae).

Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite markers were developed for the aquatic plant Sagittaria trifolia var. sinensis to assess its genetic diversity and population structure. Cross-species transferability was assayed in eight congeneric species.

[Biomass- and energy allocation in Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus tereticornis plantations at different stand ages].

An investigation was made on the biomass- and energy allocation in 1-4-year-old Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus tereticornis plantations at Beipo Forest Farm of Suixi County in Guangdong Province. Stand age had significant effects on the retained biomass of the plantations (P < 0.01).

[Inhibiting effects of interleukin-10 on expression of E-selectin and L-selectin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion: experiment with rats].

Objective: To investigate the inhibiting effects of interleukin-10 (IL-10) on the expression of E-selectin and L-selectin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusions.

Methods: Seventy-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion with Longa's thread method, IL-10 group undergoing lateral ventricle injection of IL-10 after the establishment of I/R model, Vehicle group undergoing lateral ventricle injection of normal saline after the establishment of I/R model, and sham operation (Sham) group. Twenty-four hours later the rats were killed with their brains taken out.

[Evaluation of Amberlite XAD-1600 resin-based purification of the bioactive components from Radix Paeoniae Alba and Rhizoma Curcumae Longae extracts by pharmacodynamic and toxicological models].

Objective: To evaluate the pharmacodynamics and toxicicity of the major bioactive components extracted and purified from Radix Paeoniae Alba and Rhizoma Curcumae Longae using Amberlite XAD-1600 resin.

Methods: Amberlite XAD-1600 was used to purify the bioactive components from the crude 75% ethanol extracts of the two herbs. The pharmacodynamic and toxic effects of the crude extracts and extract purified using XAD-1600 resin were comparatively examined with two acute inflammatory models, two pain models and acute toxicity test in vivo.

[The effect of interleukin-10 on neurocyte apoptosis in cerebral ischemia in rats].

Aim: To investigate the effect of interleukin-10 on neurocyte apoptosis in cerebral ischemia in rats.

Methods: 36 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups: sham operation group, middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) group and MCAO+interleukin-10 treatment group. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect in situ cell apoptosis, immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of proapoptotic gene Fas, Fas ligand (FasL) and caspase-3 in peri-infarct, respectively.
