ObjectiveTo investigate the relation between morning blood pressure surge(MBPS) and myocardial ischemia.Methods315 patients with primary hypertension and coronary heart disease were received Holter and non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM). According to the morning blood pressure raised, they were divided into MBPS group and no-MBPS group. Then the ABPM and Holter data were compared.ResultsThe patients in MBPS group were older. The myocardial ischemia events were more common in MBPS group than in no-MBPS group. The logistic regress showed that the MBPS was related to myocardial ischemia events even after corrected by age, smoke, and sex.ConclusionMBPS is a risk factor of myocardial ischemia.

Objective To evaluate the impact of serum cystatin C (Cys C) level on short term prognosis in elderly patients with unstableangina (UA). Methods 167 patients with US were involved in this study. The serum Cys C level was measured by immunonephelometric assay.The patients were divided into normal group (Cys C<1.5 mg/L, n=102) and high Cys C group (Cys C≥1.5 mg/L, n=65) according totheir baseline of the first Cys C level within 24 hours. The clinical outcomes, including major cardiac events, mortality and readmission duringhospitalization and 6 months in the follow-up period were observed and evaluated. Results The major cardiac events, mortality and readmissionrate were higher in the high Cys C group than in the normal group (χ2=4.16, P=0.042). Conclusion The serum of Cys C level isclosely related to the short term prognosis of UA, it could be a risk factor to predict major cardiac events in patients with UA.

Objective To observe the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on intestinal microbiota and brain function in sepsis rats. Methods Sixty male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into sham operation group, model group and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) group by random number table, each group 20 rats. The rat model of sepsis was established by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 mg/kg in tail vein. FMT group received nasogastric infusion of feces from healthy donor. Fecal samples were collected on the 6th day after the modeling to detect the levels of intestinal microbiota composition; the brain function was also evaluated by electroencephalogram (EEG), and the proportion of each waveform in EEG was calculated. After sacrifice of rats in different groups, the brain tissues were taken, the levels of protein expression and positive cells of Iba-1 in brain tissue were detected by Western Blot and immunohistochemistry method.

ObjectiveThe effects of two microbial fertilizers （Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer） on the growth and development， the accumulation of active ingredients， and the microbial community diversity of rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis were investigated. MethodsA field experiment was carried out with two-year-old Atractylodes chinensis as the test material. Plant samples were collected during the wilt stage （September 26， 2023） to determine the general agronomic traits of Atractylodes chinensis. High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was utilized to evaluate the effects of microbial fertilizers on the synthesis and accumulation of four active ingredients （atractylodin， atractylon， β-eudesmol， and atractylenolide Ⅰ） in Atractylodes chinensi. PacBio Sequel sequencing technology was used to explore the differences in bacterial community structures and diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis treated with different microbial fertilizers. ResultsThe two microbial fertilizers had significant growth-promoting effects on Atractylodes chinensis. Compared with those of the CK group， the stem diameter， stem and leaf dry and fresh weight， and rhizome dry and fresh weight of Atractylodes chinensis significantly increased by 0.47-1.07 times （P<0.05） after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer （16 kg/667 m²）， and those significantly increased by 0.62-0.96 times （P<0.05） after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer （1.5 kg/667 m²）. The effect on plant height was not significant. The application of two microbial fertilizers was beneficial to the accumulation of atractylodin， atractylon， β-eudesmol， and atractylenolide Ⅰ （P<0.01）， and the effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer on the accumulation of active ingredients of Atractylodes chinensis was better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that compared with the CK group， the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer （8 kg/667 m²） could significantly increase the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial species by regulating the Simpson index and Shannon index （P<0.05）， and the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer significantly reduced the bacterial diversity （P<0.05）. The relative abundance of dominant bacteria was compared at the phylum and genus levels. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria （45.73%） and Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia （9.98%） significantly increased after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer （P<0.01）， and the relative abundance of Acidobacteriota （20.53%） and Sphingomonas （3.63%） increased significantly （P<0.01） after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The relative abundance of beneficial bacteria in the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer was slightly higher than that in the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia and Sphingomonas were positively correlated with the content of atractylodin， atractylon， β-eudesmol， and atractylenolide Ⅰ （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer can increase the yield of medicinal materials and promote the synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients by regulating the rhizosphere microecological diversity of Atractylodes chinensis， and the application effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer is better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer.
