Soybean fungal root rot diseases are the most serious soybean disease problem in Heilongjiang province. The microbial seed dressing agent comprised of Bacillus strain B29 which showed strong antagonistic ability to the pathogens of Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani were applied to control soybean fungal root rot in field. The control efficiencies of the treatment T3, T4, T5, T6 on soybean fungal root rot after 35-day cultivation were 50.2%, 60.0%, 48.3%, 49.4% respectively, which were better than that of Carbendazim-Carbofuran-Thiram seed coating agent (T2). The second investigation after 50-day cultivation showed the control efficiency of T4 was the best (60.7%), while the control efficiency of T3 was not significantly different from T2. The control efficiencies of T5 and T6 were lower than that of T2. The microbial seed dressing agents were safe to soybean cultivation based on the investigation on seed germination rate, plant height, fresh weight and root nodules. The results based on 2-year demonstrating in field showed that soybean seeds germinating rate was more than 90% after seeds dressing by the microbial seed dressing agents, and the control efficiencies on soybean root rot diseases were 56.3% to 89.1%. It suggested that the microbial seed dressing agents were not only efficient to control soybean root rot diseases but also increased soybean productions.

Objective To understand the zoonotic trematode species identified in domestic animals from Huainan area,An-hui Province,so as to supply the evidence for the prevention of zoonoses. Methods The livestock/definitive hosts were commer-cially available on category basis,and sacrificed for obtaining the parasitic samples via dissecting the viscera. The specimens were microscopically identified,with reference to the descriptions in the previous literature. Results By identification,sorting and classification,41 species of internal trematodes were found so far in the domestic animals fed in Huainan areas,in which 23 spe-cies were zoonotic trematodes and 18 were internally parasitic in livestock,belonging to 4 orders,12 families and 21 genera,and occurred in 9 definitive hosts including chicken,ducks,geese,pigs,cattle,buffaloes,sheep,goats and dogs,respectively. Con-clusion The findings suggest that the zoonotic trematodes belong to many kinds and prevalent in the domestic animals in Huainan areas,and such prevalence should call for high attention since it is urgent risk factors for zoonoses in this geographic area.

AIM: To investigate effects of Retinervus luffae fructus (RLF) on level of serum lipid and body weight in hyperlipidemia rats. METHODS: Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (A), hyperlipidemia group (B), hyperlipidemia + RLF group (C), RLF group (D). Both group A and C were fed normal diet every day, while group B and group D fed high fat diet. Meanwhile, group C and D were administered with RLF solution at the dose of 10 mL/kg, respectively for 14 days, while group A and B were administered with drinking water. RESULTS: (1) At the end of experiment, a significant reduction was found in the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) of group C animals treated with RLF solution; (2) The levels of serum TC of group D was progressively decreased compared to the level of serum TC at the beginning of experiment; (3) The level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) of group C remained unaltered 8d after treatment with RLF solution; (4) The body weight in group C was obviously lower than that in group B. CONCLUSION: RLF had an obvious hypolipidemic effect on hyperlipidemia rats. It can inhibit the decrease in the HDL-C and the increase of body weight in rats. [
