Objective To understand the molluscicidal effects of water extract of Ginkgo biloba's peel on Oncomelania hupensis Methods Immersion methods with a series of six concentrations from 0.3 percent to 3 percent were used to determine the molluscicidal effect. Results The LC 50 of the water extract of 1.0 percent was 28.8 mg/L for 24 hours immersion,12.6 mg/L for 48 hours,and 0.48 mg/L for 72 hours, respectively. The LC 50 of the extract of 2 percent was 19.9 mg/L for 24 hours,11.2 mg/L for 48 hours and 0.48 mg/L for 72 hours,respectively.The LC 50 of the extract of 3 percent was 19.1 mg/L for 24 hours,10.9 mg/L for 48 hours and 0.48 mg/L for 72 hours,respectively. The higher of the concentration, the better of the effect. Meantime, it's poisoning to crops and fishes was very low. Conclusion Ginkgo biloba's peel has molluscicidal effect. It is a good candidate of potential plant molluscicides.

BACKGROUND: The intraocular lens can move forward during cataract optic capsular surgery,but the changes in the human eye diopter cannot be monitored in such a dynamically adjustment process,it is difficult to obtain clinical data which could reveal the correlation between intraocular lens forward and human eye diopter adjustment.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of intraocular lens movement on the adjustment of human eye diopter.METHODS: Based on Hwey-Lan Liou eye model,using optical design software ZEMAX to realize ray tracing,the relationship of intraocular lens forward in the eye with the adjustment of human eye diopter was investigated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Once the intraocular lens forward for a certain distance,human eye obtained the amount of accommodating diopter was not constant; the adjustment amount depended on the axial length and the required intraocular lens implantation,especially in axial length; for the intraocular lens forward of the surgical eyes at different axial lengths,the amount of accommodating human eye diopter was negatively correlated with axial length.

Amylosporus sulcatus sp. nov. is described from Nonggang Nature Reserve, southern China, on the basis of morphological and molecular data. The morphological description and illustrations for the new species are provided. The species is characterized by pileate and stipitate basidiocarps. The pileus surface is obviously concentrically and radiately sulcate and tomentum, and the pore surface is snow white. Phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer and nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA confirmed it to be a new species.
