Caused by Helminthosporium carposaprum, tomato brown lea f spot was a serious disease in green house in Henan Province. The condition for promoting sporulation of fungi were tested in this paper. The results showed th at the number of sporulation were different on the different medium,the fungi c ould sporulate a lot on the PDA+tomato leaf and Czapek medium, but V8、PSA and t omato juice restrained sporulation.The best carbon source and nitrogen source f or the fungi promoting sporulation were fructose and ammonium chloride respectiv ely,mannitol and Peptone ammonium sulfate restrained sporulation. Light and ult raviolet radiation were in favor of sporulation , ultraviolet radiation irradiat ing for 60～80min promoted sporulation. The fungi were promoted sporulation on the condition of lower or higher temperature and alkalescence,which 15℃o r 30℃,pH 8～9.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of humic acid fertilizer on plant growth, assimilation base, dried biomass accumulation, yield, quality and disease infection of Angelica sinensis.

METHODThree kinds of humic acid fertilizer and an amino acid liquid fertilizer were tested in randomized groups at 1 level with 3 times repeat.

RESULTT1 promoted plant and root growth effectively, increased dried biomass accumulation and fresh root average weight remarkably, the yield was increased, the content of ethanol extract was increased by 11.31%. T3 promoted plant and root growth quickly, enlarged leaves area and increased dried plant weight, but effect lasted shortly, the content of ethanol extract was increased by 5.23%. T4 increased more leaves in late growth period, enlarged leaves area, the yield was increased, the content of ethanol extract was increased by 3.09%. T2 increased fresh root average weight remarkably, the yield was increased.

CONCLUSIONHumic acid fertilizer and amino acid liquid fertilizer could effectively promote plant growth, enlarge leaves area, promote dried biomass accumulation and transformation to root and increase yield and content of ethanol extract effectively.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and their correlation with myocardial perfusion in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).

METHODSThe expression of TLR4 and TNF-α mRNA on PBMCs were examined by SYBR Green I real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the levels of TLR4 and TNF-α were examined by flow cytometric analysis and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) on DCM group (n = 20), Type 2 diabetic group (n = 22) and control group (n = 20). Myocardial perfusion was visualized by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

RESULTSThe expressions of TLR4 and TNF-α mRNA/protein on PBMCs in DCM group were significantly higher than in Type 2 diabetic group, and higher in Type 2 diabetic group than in control groups (P < 0.05); summed stress score (SSS) and summed rest score (SRS) of myocardial perfusion in DCM group were significantly higher than in Type 2 diabetic group, and higher in Type 2 diabetic group than in control groups (P < 0.01). The expression of TLR4, TNF-α was positively correlated with SSS (r = 0.75, P < 0.05; r = 0.931, P < 0.005) and SRS (r = 0.78, P < 0.005; r = 0.789, P < 0.005). SSS and SRS in DCM group were also positively correlated with soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) (r = 0.728, P < 0.005; r = 0.738, P < 0.005) but there was no correlation between SSS and SRS and brain natriuretic peptide, LVEF, E/A, HbA1c, FBG, FIN and LDL-C (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe increased expression of TLR4 and TNF-α mRNA/protein on PBMCs and increased serum sVCAM-1 is linked with reduced myocardial perfusion in DCM group. TLR4 and TNF-α may thus play a critical role in the myocardial perfusion inflammation injury in these patients.
