Some problems were settled in making permanent slide for predacious nematode fungi by slide cultivation and cotton blue stain. Method of small-hole culture covered with slides could obtain high quality images, which solved the problem that trapping device couldn't be observed with high-power microscopes and oil-immersion microscopes. Scraping slide technique improved the method of making temporary slides.

Objective: To explore the relationship between lower extremity atherosclerosis disease (LEAD) and cardiovascular risk factors in elder people.
Methods: A total of 700 consecutive patients receive lower extremity Color Doppler ultrasound in our hospital from 2013-05 to 2014-11 were investigated. The patients were divided into 3 age groups: Young and middle group, n=83, Elder group, n=377 and Senile group, n=240. Based on ultrasound scoring system, the patients were divided into 4 groups: Normal group, n=112, Mild atherosclerosis (Mild) group, n=81, Moderate group, n=466 and Severe group, n=41. The cardiovascular risk factors among different groups were compared.
Results: Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that age, smoking, history of diabetes, uric acid (UA), ankle-brachial index (ABI) were the independent risk factors for LEAD (B=0.144, 1.496, 0.963, 0.004, -2.510; 95% CI: 1.120-1.190, 2.257-8.824, 1.456-4.716, 1.001-1.007, 0.012-0.534;P=0.000, 0.000, 0.001, 0.006, 0.009 respectively. Ordinal logistic regression analysis indicated that age, male gender, smoking, ABI, UA, history of hypertension were related to the severity of atherosclerosis (B=0.130, 0.737, 0.592, -3.365, 0.003, 0.735; 95% CI: 0.097-0.162, 0.222-1.252, 0.052-1.132, -4.674 to -2.055, 0.001-0.005, 0.313-1.157;P=0.000, 0.005, 0.032, 0.000, 0.005, 0.001 respectively. Compared with Young and Middle groups, Elder and Senile groups had increased rates of moderate and severe arteriosclerotic lesions; compared with Elder group, Senile group presented the higher incidence of moderate and severe lesions, allP<0.01. With elevated age, the severity score of LEAD increased accordingly,P<0.01.
Conclusion: Lower extremity atherosclerosis lesions were more severe in elder patient, and it was particularly severe in senile patients.

Neural stem cells in brains have capacities of proliferation and differentiation, which is very critical to rebuild the cerebral cortex functions. Therefore, it is of great importance to find key targets and network pathways that regulate the proliferation of neural stem cells, which is also a pressing problem in the medical circle. With the Notch pathway as the core of the network, this paper summarized the advance of the bimolecular network system composed of Wnt, Shh, EGFR, cytokines and Notch signal, and analyzed such key nodes as Notch receptor, CBF1, NICD, Hesl, which may become potential targets of new-type drugs in the future. With the multi-component, multi-target, multi-lever characteristics, traditional Chinese medicines have many common grounds with the network pharmacology. The active component groups or active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicines are one of the material bases for showing their network pharmacological effect, which is worth exploring. This paper aims to provide a new strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease and nerve injury with traditional Chinese medicines.

Objective To explore the difference of gene expression profiling between normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. Methods cDNA chip of normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits were downloaded from GEO database. The chip was analyzed and screened by Bioconductor software, and function enrichment and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by Cytoscape software. Then 6 adult male Japanese rabbits were used, and randomly divided into normal control group (n=3) and SAH model group (n=3). Rabbit SAH models were established by cisterna secondary-blood-injection method. RNA data of normal basilar artery specimens on the 0 day and basilar artery specimens after SAH on the 5-day were used to validate the parts of differentially expressed genes by qRT-PCR. Results A total of 4356 differentially expressed genes were found in normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits. Among them, 920 genes were considered to be significant with P-value<0.05, such as GRIK1, MYH13, ZNF45, SAA3, RLN1, MSR1 and others. Function enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes were involved in regulation of Ca2+transmembrane transporter activity, negative regulation of ion transmembrane transport, regulation of potassium ion transport, positive regulation of JAK-STAT signaling cascades and other biological processes. Pathway analysis showed that calcium signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and other signaling pathways maybe related with the differentially expressed genes. qRT-PCR verification showed that the expression of MSR1 in SAH model group was consistent with that of the chip result. Conclusion The gene expressions of basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits are significantly different, and MSR1 gene can be used as a potential target for studying the pathological mechanism of CVS.

Objective To observe the effects of buccal acupuncture therapy and body acupuncture therapy on plasma metabolomites of rheumatoid arthritis rabbits model; To search for the metabolites related to the mechanism of buccal acupuncture and body acupuncture. Methods Sixteen rabbits were made into rheumatoid arthritis models by complete freund's adjuvant before the treatment. The buccal acupuncture group was treated by buccal acupuncture on the knee acupoint; 13 mm × 0.32 mm needle straight 0.2–0.5 mm, twist the main points of stimulation 15 s, once a day. The body acupuncture group was treated by body acupuncture on the Xiyan and Zusanli acupoints; with 13 mm × 0.32 mm needle straight 2–3 mm, every 5 min each time, twisting needle method, 100 times/min for 15 s, once a day. After the continuous treatment for 5 days, UPLC-QTOF/MS was applied to test metabolite from the plasma sample of all groups. Similarity analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were applied in this research; meanwhile load analysis method was used to identify the meaningful metabolites. Results The similarity analysis, HCA and PCA all showed the significant difference of endogenous metabolites in plasma samples among the buccal acupuncture group, the body acupuncture, the model group and the blank group. The 4 groups of different plasma sample metabolite were completely separated in three dimensions by OPLS-DA and all the samples were gathered respectively. The load analysis indicated that there were 19 kinds of endogenous metabolites which showed the significant differences between buccal acupuncture group and model group, and also happened between the body acupuncture group and the model group; N-cetyl-L-phenylalanine and 2-phenyl propionate in metabolism of phenylalanine and tyrosine decreased significantly in the buccal acupuncture group while significantly increased in the body acupuncture group. Conclusion There are relative similarity on the mechanism of treating rheumatoid arthritis between buccal acupuncture and body acupuncture. However, N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine and 2-phenyl propionate, as the main potential biomarkers of the difference, indicate that the dissimilarity can be significant.
