natural enemies <strong>and</strong> efficacy of crop protection technologies for pest management. Changes in geographical distribution <strong>and</strong> population dynamics affect both crop production <strong>and</strong> food security. Insect pests presently confined <strong>to</strong> tropical <strong>and</strong> subtropical regions will move <strong>to</strong> temperate regions along with a shift in <strong>the</strong> areas of production of <strong>the</strong>ir host plants, while distribution <strong>and</strong> relative abundance of some insect species vulnerable <strong>to</strong> high temperatures in <strong>the</strong> temperate regions may decrease as a result of global warming. These species may find suitable alternative habitats at greater latitudes. Many species may have <strong>the</strong>ir diapause strategies disrupted as <strong>the</strong> linkages between temperature, moisture regimes <strong>and</strong> day length will be altered. Genetic variation <strong>and</strong> multi‐fac<strong>to</strong>r inheritance of innate recognition of environmental signals may mean that many insect species will have <strong>to</strong> adapt readily <strong>to</strong> such disruption. Long‐term moni<strong>to</strong>ring of population levels <strong>and</strong> insect behavior, particularly in identifiably sensitive regions, may provide some of <strong>the</strong> first indications of a biological response <strong>to</strong> climate change. The relationship between crop protection costs <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> resulting benefits will also change as a result of global warming <strong>and</strong> climate change. This will have a major bearing on economic thresholds, as greater variability in climate will result in variable impact of pest damage on crop yields. Host‐plant resistance, bio‐pesticides, natural enemies <strong>and</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>tic chemicals are some of <strong>the</strong> potential options for integrated pest management. However, <strong>the</strong> relative efficacy of many of <strong>the</strong>se pest control measures is likely <strong>to</strong> change as a result of global warming. These changes will have major implications for crop protection <strong>and</strong> food security, particularly in developing countries, where <strong>the</strong> need <strong>to</strong> increase <strong>and</strong> sustain food production is most urgent. Therefore, <strong>the</strong>re is a need <strong>to</strong> assess <strong>the</strong> efficacy of various pest management technologies under diverse environmental conditions, <strong>and</strong> develop appropriate strategies for pest management <strong>to</strong> mitigate <strong>the</strong> adverse effects of climate change. Calcium sensing recep<strong>to</strong>r regulates endogenous H 2 S <strong>to</strong> inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation in diabetic rats Weihua ZHANG Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150081, China. Email: zhangwh116@hotmail.com Aim: The calcium sensing recep<strong>to</strong>r (CaR) belongs <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> G‐protein coupled recep<strong>to</strong>r, which activates <strong>the</strong> PLC pathway, leading <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> increase of intracellular calcium concentration. Hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) is generated from L‐cysteine in reactions catalyzed by cystathionine‐γ‐lyase (CSE), which is responsible for <strong>the</strong> H 2 S production in <strong>the</strong> cardiovascular system. CSE is <strong>the</strong> calcium‐dependent regulation enzyme. Diabetic <strong>and</strong> its associated complications are major known health disorders, <strong>and</strong> diabetes mellitus promotes smooth muscle cells proliferation in arteries. However, its mechanisms are unclear. The goal of <strong>the</strong> current study was <strong>to</strong> investigate CaR regulating <strong>the</strong> expression of CSE <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> interaction with CaR <strong>and</strong> CSE on smooth muscle cells proliferation in diabetic rat mesenteric artery. Method: Diabetic rats were induced by STZ (strep<strong>to</strong>zocin, 50 mg/kg, blood glucose >16.7 µM/L after 72 h classified model rats) <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> daily administration of 60 µM NaHS (sodium hydrosulfide, an H 2 S donor) in <strong>the</strong> diabetic + NaHS treatment group. At <strong>the</strong> end of 4, 8 <strong>and</strong> 12 weeks, <strong>the</strong> morphological alterations (transmission electron microscopy, hemo<strong>to</strong>xylin eosin <strong>and</strong> Masson staining of mesentery artery in control group, diabetic group <strong>and</strong> diabetic + NaHS treatment group), <strong>the</strong> effect of NaHS <strong>and</strong> CaR activa<strong>to</strong>r (Calindol) on <strong>the</strong> tension of mesentery secondary artery loop <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> expression of CaR, CSE, Cyclin D1 were observed, respectively. Results: HE staining shows that intima of artery thicken in 8w <strong>and</strong> 12w diabetic rats, Masson staining shows collagen of perivascular impaired <strong>and</strong> TEM observed <strong>the</strong> smooth muscle cell proliferation, endo<strong>the</strong>lial cells impaired <strong>and</strong> internal elastic lamina dissolution, <strong>the</strong> changes have modified after NaHS treatment. Compared <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> control group, <strong>the</strong> tension of mesentery secondary artery loop in <strong>the</strong> diabetic groups significantly decreased (4w: 13.2%, 8w: 13%,12w: 10.3%, P
