MicroRNA (miRNA) is a class of noncoding small-molecule RNA in eukaryotic cells and certain viruses,which plays a major role in the post-transcriptional level of target-gene regulation.Due to their nonimmunogenic nature,viral miRNA represents an elegant tool for the virus to evade the host immune system,and is likely to play a key role in the latent/Iytic switch during the viral lifecycle.Human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) is a widespread herpesvirus.HCMV-encoded miRNAs play an improtant role in lantent infection by targeting viral and cellular genes.These miRNAs have the potential to become novel biomarkers and targets of treatment.This review summarizes the recent advances of HCMV-encoded miRNA.

Sweepovirus is an important monopartite begomovirus that infects plants of the genus Ipomoea worldwide. Development of artiifcial infection methods for sweepovirus using agroinoculation is a highly efficient means of studying infectivity in sweet potato. Unlike other begomoviruses, it has proven difficult to infect sweet potato plants with sweepoviruses using infectious clones. A novel sweepovirus, called Sweet potato leaf curl virus-Jiangsu (SPLCV-JS), was recently identiifed in China. In addition, the infectivity of the SPLCV-JS clone has been demonstrated in Nicotiana benthamiana. Here we describe the agroinfection of the sweet potato cultivar Xushu 22 with the SPLCV-JS infectious clone using vacuum inifltration. Yellowing symptoms were observed in newly emerged leaves. Molecular analysis confirmed successful inoculation by the detection of viral DNA. A synergistic effect of SPLCV-JS and the heterologous betasatellite DNA-βof Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus isolate Y10 (TYLCCNV-Y10) on enhanced symptom severity and viral DNA accumulation was conifrmed. The development of a routine agroinoculation system in sweet potato with SPLCV-JS using vacuum inifltration should facilitate the molecular study of sweepovirus in this host and permit the evaluation of virus resistance of sweet potato plants in breeding programs.

Objective To explore the changes of the painful P300 under the state of pain induced by adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA) inrabbits. Methods The painful P300 and pain threshold in 10 rabbits were recorded before Freud's adjuvant injection, before and after morphineinjection on the 7th day and the 21st day after Freud's adjuvant injection. Results With the pain threshold lowed (P<0.01), the latencyof painful P300 was differentially shortened on the 7th day and 21st days after adjuvant injection (P<0.01). After morphine injected, painthreshold increased (P<0.01) and the latency of painful P300 was prolonged (P<0.01). On the 7th day, the amplitude of painful P300 differentiallyincreased (P<0.05), and decreased (P<0.01) after morphine injected. The amplitude of painful P300 on the 21st day was significantlylower than that of the 7th day (P<0.01). The pain threshold correlated with the latency of painful P300 (r=0.516, P<0.01). ConclusionPainful P300 is related with the condition of pain in rabbits with AIA.
