Objective: To observe the effect of Ginkgo Biloba extract (EGb) on Form deprivation Myopia (FDM) in the chick. Methods: 30 two day chicks were divided into three groups (Control Group, Drug Group Ⅰ, Drug Group Ⅱ). All of them were monocularly deprived by suturation of eyelids. Axial length was measured by A Scan ultrasonograph, the posterior cartilaginous sclera, the sclera fibrous and retina were observed under the light microscope. Results: Both refraction and axial eye length were changed by form deprivation in control group. refraction change ( P

Uric acid is the end product of metabolism of purine which is synthesized in the body and from food.It is also an antioxidant in the body,and closely related to the bone,cardiovascular system,endocrine system,respiratory system,nervous system,urinary system,ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology especially in the elderly.Therefore,more attentions should be paid to the relationship between hyperuricemia and senile diseases.Early screening and treatment of hyperuricemia might enable an improvement of the quality of life and even an extension of the life of older people.

Little is known about the molecular mechanism of currant anthocyanin synthesis. We investigated the effect of dfr, a key gene for anthocyanin synthesis in currant, on anthocyanins of different color currant. Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.), red currant (Ribes rubrum L.) and white currant (Ribes albrum L.) were used as test materials to determine the anthocyanin content at different stages of fruit development. Three full-length cDNA sequences of dfr gene were cloned by RACE (Rapid amplification of cDNA ends), and named as Rndfr, Rrdfr and Radfr. Phylogenetic analysis shows that Rndfr, Rrdfr and Radfr had high homology in evolution. The determination of anthocyanin content in different stages of fruit development shows that the content of anthocyanin in black currant and red currant was higher and gradually increased with the ripening of the fruit. While the content of anthocyanin in white currant was extremely low, and almost no anthocyanin was detected. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis shows that the expression level of dfr in black currant was higher than red currant and white currant in each period of fruit development. As the diameter of the fruit increased and the color of the peel deepened, the expression level of dfr in the black currant showed an increasing trend. In the red currant, the expression level gradually increased until the period of 75% fruit color, then the Rrdfr decreased rapidly. In white currant, the overall trend showed a downward trend, and its expression level was the lowest. All the results suggest that dfr gene plays a role in the process of fruit color.

This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of the transcription factor MYB10, which is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis, in different colors of Ribes L. fruitification. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) was used to clone the MYB10 genes from Ribes nigrum L. (RnMYB10), Ribes rubrum L. (RrMYB10), and Ribes album L. (RaMYB10), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 were evolutionarily homologous. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) showed that the expression of MYB10 in the fruits of Ribes nigrum L. was higher than that of Ribes rubrum L. and much higher than that of Ribes album L. The expression of RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 increased at first and then decreased as the fruit diameter increased and the fruit color deepened (the maximum expression level was reached at 75% of the fruit color change), while the expression level of RaMYB10 was very low. Overexpression of RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in purple petioles and leaves, whereas overexpression of RaMYB10 resulted in no significant color changes. This indicates that MYB10 gene plays an important role in the coloration of Ribes L. fruit.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of physical activity and its influencing factors in rural residents in Shanxi and Chongqing. Methods: In four counties (districts) of Shanxi and Chongqing, local residents aged ≥18 who lived there for more than one year and had no plan to migrate to other areas in 2 years were surveyed through face to face questionnaire interviews to collect the information about their daily physical activity time, sedentary time, related knowledge and attitude, and others. Results: The physical inactivity rate of the residents was 14.9%, and 88.7% of residents never took daily physical activity. The average sedentary time was (3.91±2.06) hours. The results of multivariate analysis showed that education level, per capita monthly income and activity degree were the factors influencing physical inactivity. Conclusion: The proportion of people who never took daily physical activity in the survey area was higher than the average level in rural areas in China, so measures should be taken to improve the overall rate of physical activity. For people who have exercise willingness, but have no practice, and those who have already increased their physical activities, targeted guidance is needed on the basis of strengthened health education.
