An isolate of rice stripe virus (designated as RSV-YL) was purified. The particles showed to be pleomorphisms under electron microscope, mainly branched filaments of about 80-250 nm in length and about 8 nm in width. There are also some open circular filaments of 3 nm and 8 nm in width, and some filaments of 13 nm in width and 130-190 nm in length. The basic morphism of RSV particles should be filaments of 3 nm in width and various length. By SDS-PAGE analysis, the molecular weight of disease-specific protein (SP) encoded by vRNA4 was 19.9 kDa and that of coat protein (CP) encoded by vcRNA3 was 33.6 kDa. When nucleic acid extracted from the purified RSV was electrophoresed under nondenaturing condition, the size of four dsRNAs (designated as dsRNA1-4 in order of decreasing size) was 4.9×106,2.7×106,2.0×106 and 1.7×106 Da, respectively, and that of four ssRNAs (designated as ssRNA1-4 in order of decreasing size) was 3.0×106,1.2×106,0.9×106 and 0.8×106 Da, respectively. A fifth segment with a size of 0.58×106 Da identified as ssRNA5 associated with the purified virus sometimes. The antiserum against the coat protein further purified by preparative electrophoresis was raised and used to investigate the serological relationships between RSV-CP and RSV-SP, CP and SP of rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV) which is also a member of Tenuivirus. The results showed that RSV-CP had no serological reaction with SP of RSV and PGSV, but could weakly react with antiserum of RGSV-CP, which confirmed that there is distantly evolutionary relationship between RGSV and RSV.

Many proteins from mushrooms can be used as potential antiviral agents and in plant protection.An antiviral protein,designated as y3,Was isolated from fruiting bodies of the fungus Coprinus comatus by fastflow ion-exchange column chromatography coupled with high-resolution molecular sieve chromatography.This glycoprotein was detected in both fruiting body and mycelium by Western blot analysis.According to its Nterminal sequence.an amino acid sequence and a partial cDNA sequence of the y3 gene were obtained.Protein y3 at 2.0μg/ml achieved 50.0% inhibition of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV,20μg/ml)lesions in Nicotiana glutinosa leaves.It also inhibited multiplication of TMV in Nicotiana tabacum Var.K326.

To obtain the P8 protein of Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV) with biological activity, its outer coat protein gene S8 was expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. The S8 gene was subcloned into the pFastBacTM1 vector, to produce the recombinant baculovirus transfer vector pFB-S8. After transformation, pFB-S8 was introduced into the competent cells (E. coli DH10Bac) containing a shuttle vector, Bacmid, generating the recombinant bacmid rbpFB-S8. After being infected by recombinant baculovirus rvpFB-S8 at different multiplicities of infection, Sf9 cells were collected at different times and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. The expression level of the P8 protein was highest between 48-72 h after transfection of Sf9 cells. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that P8 protein of RGDV formed punctate structures in the cytoplasm of Sf9 cells.

Objective To discuss and analyze effect of biotype common handle (short handle) prosthesis in treating aged patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on 321 patients,among which 280 (102 males and 178 females,at age of 72-98years,average 82.5 years) obtained follow-up.According to a new fracture classification method (Piansui Classification),the typeⅠ a fracture was found in 65 cases and type Ⅰ b in 215.Most patients were combined with medical diseases,and after related medical collaborative treatment,standard biotype common handle prosthesis (artificial bipolar femoral head) replacement was applied to all patients.Early rehabilitation exercise was performed postoperatively.Results All the 321 patients lived through perioperative period successively,with no death in hospitalization.Meanwhile,postoperative complications were all cured in hospitalization.The patients could take out-of-bed activity at 1-3 weeks after operation.All 280 patients could take care of themselves at 12-46 months (average 28 months) of follow-up.According to Harris score,the results were excellent in 129 cases,good in 121,fair in 22 and poor in eight,with excellence rate of 89.3%.Conclusion Biotype common handle artificial femoral head replacement is an effective method to allow early ambulation,reduce complications and improve quality of life in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of treating femoral intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures combined with femoral shaft fractures using anatomic locking plate.Methods From January 2009 to June 2011,we treated 72 cases of femoral intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures combined with femoral shaft fractures using anatomic locking plate.Sixty-four cases were followed up.There were 50 males and 14 female,with an average age of 42.8 years (range,21-79).All patients suffered from closed femoral unilateral fractures.The interval between injury and surgery was 2 h-16 d (average,4.6 d).All patients were followed up at regular interval.During the follow-up period,clinical and radiographic data were recorded.The clinical efficacy was evaluated with Harris hip function score.Results The mean operative time was 65 min (range,45-120 min); the mean blood loss was 210 ml (range,50-650 ml).All patients began to walk with crutches 3-35 d after surgery.During the follow-up period,no infection,deep vein thrombosis,screwed cut-out and implant failure occurred in all patients.Coxa vara with shortening deformity was noted in 2 cases,solid bone union was found in all the cases.The mean time of fracture healing was 5.2 months (range,3.6-10.5 months).According to Harris hip score,45 cases were classified as excellent,14 as good and 5 as fair,with excellent and good rate being 92.19% (59/64).Conclusion Anatomic locking plate fixation provides stable fixation,with a high union rate and a minimal complication rate in treatment of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures combined with femoral shaft fracture.
