RESUMO
The ryanodine receptor (RyR) of the calcium release channel is the main target of anthranilic and phthalic diamide insecticides which have high selective insecticidal activity relative to mammalian toxicity. In this study, the full-length cDNA of Chilo suppressalis RyR (CsRyR) was isolated and characterized. The CsRyR mRNA has an open reading frame (ORF) of 15,387bp nucleotides, which encodes 5128 amino acids with GenBank ID: KR088972. Comparison of protein sequences showed that CsRyR shared high identities with other insects of 77-96% and lower identity to mammals and nematodes with only 42-45%. One alternative splicing site (KENLG) unique to Lepidoptera was found and two exclusive exons of CsRyR (I /II) were revealed. Spatial and temporal expression of CsRyR mRNA was at the highest relative level in 3rd instar larvae and head (including brain and muscle), and at the lowest expression level in egg and fat body. The expression levels of whole body CsRyR mRNA were increased remarkably after injection of 4th instar larvae with chlorantraniliprole at 0.004 to 0.4µg/g. This structural and functional information on CsRyR provides the basis for further understanding the selective action of chlorantraniliprole and possibly other diamide insecticides.

In this paper, the regularity on spontaneous discharges of the single unit in amygdaloid nucleus (AMYG) in rabbits were analyzed and whether the signal of Electro-acupuncture (EA) at Neiguan (P 6) can reach the AMYG was further observed with the technique of glass microelectrode. It was found that the signals of EA at Neiguan can reach AMYG and activate or inhibit the electrical activity of some neurons, manifesting two response patterns: frequency-increasing and frequency-decreasing. Additionally, the same neuron had a different response to the signals of EA at Neiguan and Zusanli (St 36), suggesting that a relative specificity of acupoints is present.
