Banana streak virus (BSV),a member of genus Badnavirus,is a causal agent of banana streak disease throughout the world.The genetic diversity of BSVs from different regions of banana plantations has previously been investigated,but there are relatively few reports of the genetic characteristic of episomal (non-integrated)BSV genomes isolated from China.Here,the complete genome,a total of 7722bp (GenBank accession number DQ092436),of an isolate of Banana streak virus (BSV) on cultivar Cavendish (BSAcYNV) in Yunnan,China was determined.The genome organises in the typical manner of badnaviruses.The intergenic region of genomic DNA contains a large stem-loop,which may contribute to the ribosome shift into the following open reading frames (ORFs).The coding region of BSAcYNV consists of three overlapping ORFs,ORF 1 with a non-AUG start eodon and ORF2 encoding two small proteins are individually involved in viral movement and ORF3 encodes a polyprotein.Besides the complete genome,a defective genome lacking the whole RNA leader region and a majority of ORF1 and which encompasses 6525bp was also isolated and sequenced from this BSV DNA reservoir in infected banana plants.Sequence analyses showed that BSAcYNV has closest similarity in terms of genome organization and the coding assignments with an BSV isolate from Vientam (BSAcVNV).The corresponding coding regions shared identities of 88% and ~95% at nucleotide and amino acid levels,respectively.Phylogenetic analysis also indicated BSAcYNV shared the closest geographical evolutionary relationship to BSAcVNV among sequenced banana streak badnaviruses.

Objective To investigate the alien snails in Dapeng Peninsula Shenzhen City. Methods The survey on the snail diversity in Dapeng Peninsula was carried out from August 2012 to Jan 2013 and the species of the alien snails were iden?tified according to the shell morphology. Results Four species of alien snails including Achatina fulica Pomacea canalicula?ta Physa acuta and Biomphalaria straminea were found in Dapeng Peninsula P. acuta was found in all of the collected sites A. fulica and P. canaliculata were distributed in five regions except Yangmeikeng area and B. straminea was just found in Dapeng Town. Conclusion Four species of important alien snails invade widely in Dapeng Peninsula Shenzhen City. As their potential risk to the disease transmission and agriculture production the relative departments should strengthen the control and prevention.
4. Molecular biological characteristics of bilateral primary breast cancer
Tumor 2011;31(11):1031-1035
Objective: To evaluate the molecular biological characteristics of bilateral primary breast cancer (BPBC). Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics of 325 patients with BPBC and 650 patients with unilateral breast cancer (UBC) were retrospectively analyzed. The evidence of molecular biology related to the occurrence of BPBC was evaluated by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results: The early occurrence of first primary breast cancer, a family history of breast cancer, a maximum tumor diameter of more than 5 cm, and clinical stage III were more frequent in BPBC patients than in UBC patients (P < 0.05). The negative rates of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), the positive rate of p53, and the incidence of high expression of Ki67 were higher in BPBC patients than those in UBC patients (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) between BPBC patients and UBC patients (P > 0.05). The characteristics including a family history of breast cancer, a maximum tumor diameter of more than 5 cm and positive expression of p53 in BPBC were independent risk factors. The patients with positive ER or positive PR had a lower risk of BPBC. Conclusion: There are differences in biological characteristics between BPBC and UBC. The breast cancer patients with the characteristics including young woman, a family history of breast cancer, negative expression of hormone receptor, positive expression of p53, and high expression of Ki67 should pay attention to the occurrence of contralateral breast cancer.

Objective To explore the value of pneumatic lithotripsy under ureteroscope in the management of ureteral calculus . Methods The clinical data of 360 cases of ureteral stones treated ureteroscopically by pneumatic lithotripsy were retrospectively analyzed. Results Stones were successfully fragmented on one session in 85% of the cases (306/360). Complications were observed in 2 5% of the cases (9/360), including 6 cases of ureteral perforation and 3 cases of urinary infection. Conclusions Pneumatic lithotripsy under ureteroscope is safe, effective and minimally invasive.

Objective To evaluate safety and validity of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic technology in cardiac surgery.Methods Between October 2013 and July 2014,50 patients underwent 3 D Video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery including:5 atrial septal defect closure,1 ventricular septal defect closure,repairment of 1 unroofed coronary sinus,1 partial atrioventricular septal defect and 1 cor triatriatum,28 mitral valve replacement (1 re-MVR),1 tricuspid valve replacement,9 mitral valvuloplasty,2 left atrial myoxoma resection,and 1 left internal mammary artery harvest + minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.All procedures were performed under extracorporeal circulation,using 30° thoracoscope and 3D high resolution monitor.Results There was no perioperative death.One patient was converted to median sternotomy because of pericardial adhesions.Mean operative time was(232.8 ± 54.7) min,mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(128.0 ±42.5) min,mean aortic cross-clamp time was (74.7 ± 25.1) min.Mean ICU stay was (30.4 ± 22.0) h,mean duration of mechanical ventilation was(13.7 ± 11.9) h.Mean postoperative drainage time was (3.34 ± 1.91) d,mean hospital stay was (6.52 ± 3.06) days.There were 11 (22%) operative complications,including 4 intrathoracic bleeding,1 wound infection,3 hemothorax,1 brachial plexus injury,1 intractable hiccup and 1 mild paravalvular leakage.Compared with 20 mitral valve replacement by 2D thoracoscopy,the 3 D group was slightly less time consuming(P > 0.05).Conclusion 3 D video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is feasible and safe,and it' s worthwhile to promote this promising technology.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of serious ADR in psychiatric hospital,and to provide reference for effective and safe use of drugs in the clinic. METHODS:114 cases of serious ADR in our hospital from 2004 to 2015 were ana-lyzed retrospectively in terms of general information,primary disease,route of administration,dosage form,drug types,organs or systems involved in ADR and clinical manifestations,top 5 ADR-inducing drugs and main clinical manifestations,etc. RESULTS:Of 114 serious ADR cases,the number of female was more than that of male(71/43). Patients aged 21-30 years old took up the greatest proprotion(35 cases,30.70%). The main involved primary disease was schizophrenia(54 cases,47.37%). Oral adminis-tration-induced ADR was most common(103 cases,90.35%). The main involved drugs were antipsychotics,occupying the great-est proportion(75 cases,65.79%). Digestive system involved was the most common(53 cases,42.74%), Olanzapine tablets had the highest incidence of serious ADR (23 cases,18.55%),the main clinical manifestation were both abnormal liver function. There were 8 cases of new serious ADR (7.02%). Most of the ADR can be cured after drug withdrawal or countermeasures,no death case was found. CONCLUSIONS:Psychiatric drugs can induce serious ADR as treat psychiatric disease,among which the in-cidence of ADR induced by Olanzapine tablets is the highest and mainly manifestes digestive system symptoms. It is suggested to strengthen serious ADR monitoring to promote the safe use of drugs.
