Methods： The ex vivo study used corpus cavemosum strips prepared from adult male New Zealand White rabbits. In in vivo studies for intracavernous pressure （ICP）, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure （MAP）, and increase of peak ICP were continuously monitored during electrical stimulation of Sprague-Dawley rats. Results： Preconstricted with phenylephrine （PE） in isolated endothelium- intact rabbit corus cavernosum, BAR relaxed penile smooth muscle in a dose-dependent manner, which was inhibited by pretreatment with NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester （L-NAME）, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, and 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazole-[4,3-α]-quinoxalin-l-one, a soluble guanylyl cclase inhibitor. BAR significantly relaxed penile smooth muscles dose-dependently in ex vivo, and this was inhibited by pretreatment with L-NAME 1H-[1,2,4]- oxadiazole-[4,3-α ]-quinoxalin-l-one. BAR-induced relaxation was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with tetraethylammonium （TEA, P〈0.01）, a nonselective K＋ channel blocker, 4-aminopyridine （4-AP, P〈0.01）, a voltage-dependent K＋ channel blocker, and charybdotoxin （P〈0.01）, a large and intermediate conductance Ca2. sensitive-K＋ channel blocker, respectively. BAR induced an increase in peak ICP, ICP/MAP ratio and area under the curve dose dependently. Conclusion： BAR augments penile erection via the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate system and Ca2. sensitive-K＋ （BK＋ and IK＋） channels in the corpus cavemosum.展开更多

[ Method ] Out of total 245 pairs of primers, 18 were selected for SSR amplification of 360 V. amurensis experimental materials. [Result] The number of bands amplified by each primer ranged from 4 to 13 with a mean of 9.44. The length of bands ranged from 150 to 1 000 bp, concentrated at 200 -750 bp. The 18 pairs of primers amplified 170 bands totally, of which 167 bands were polymorphic with a polymorphism ratio of 98.2%. The Shannon＇s diversity index （I） is 1. 778 051. With the SSR-PCR am- plification of 360 V. amurensis varieties （ strains）, 5 specific bands were amplified by certain primers in several varieties（strains） accounting for 2.95% of the total bands. [ Conclusion] SSR molecular marker technique was an efficient method to detect the genetic diversity of V. amurensis and thereby is an effective tool for pedigree analysis and variety identification of A. amurensis varieties（strains）.展开更多

The objective of this study was to assess and compare the ectomycorrhizal communities associated with T. amurensis in natural versus urban forests of central Heilongjiang Province. The percentage of T. amurensis colonisation by ectomycorrhiza was more than 60 % in urban forests, compared to 34-49 % in natural forests. Use of a combi- nation of morphological and molecular methods docu- mented 18 ECM （ectomycorrhizal） types among three sites; 12-13 ECM species were identified in the natural sites versus 9 species in the urban site. Four ECM species （Boletus sp., Tuber sp., Inocybe sp.2, Leccinum sp.1） were the dominant mycorrhizal symbionts, and Cenococcum geophilum and Russula sp. were found only in the natural forests.展开更多
