alphaB-crystallin is the structural protein of vertebrate lens, which is widely expressed in non-lens tissue. As one of the heat shock protein family members, alphaB-crystallin possesses biological properties of molecular chaperones and anti-apoptotic effects. Multi-factor injuries, such as retinopathy, inflammation and nervous system diseases, have a closely relationship with alphaB-crystallin. This paper reviews the research progress of the expression and mechanism of alphaB-crystallin in retina and extraocular tissues and organs.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the correlation between contrast vision (LV) and sweep visual evoked potential acuity (SVEP-A) among people with emmetropia, mild myopia, and moderate myopia. METHODS: The CV and SVEP-A were tested individually in 96 eyes from healthy young volunteers, including 37 eyes of emmetropia, 27 eyes of mild myopia, and 32 eyes of moderate myopia. The statistic analysis was done by ANOVA analysis and rank sum test. RESULTS: (1) With the decrease of contrast, CV and SVEP-A decreased in every group. (2) At 100% contrast, the difference of CV between emmetropia and mild myopia had statistical significance (P<0.05). At 100%, 25% and 10% contrast, the difference of CV between emmetropia and moderate myopia had statistical significance (P<0.05). (3) In the same group, the difference of 100% and 25% contrast had statistical significance (P < 0.05). So was between 100% and 10% contrast. (4) At 100% and 10% contrast, the difference of CV and SVEP-A had statistical significance (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The CV of myopia relates to many factors including ametropia and fundus lesions. The correction of ametropia is important to the values of CV and SVEP-A.

Objective To quantitatively assess the virucidal activities of three commercial disin-fectants against human infected highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses subtype H5. Methods The 50%tissue culture infective dose ( TCID50 ) of avian influenza viruses was calculated. Quantitative suspension test was performed to evaluate the efficacy of three disinfectants. In that test, 105 TCID50 of avian influenza viru-ses were exposed to different disinfectants at different concentrations for different times with or without the in-terference with fetal bovine serum ( FBS) simulating the contaminated condition. The residual infectivity was determined by endpoint titration in Madin-Darby canine kidney ( MDCK) cells. The detail steps were that the mixture of viruses and disinfectants was inoculated at 37℃ with 5% CO2 for 1 hour. Then, it was re-placed by virus dilution medium and further incubated for 18 to 20 hours. ELISA was performed for the cal-culation of TCID50 . The titers of residual viruses were calculated according to Reed and Muench method. The low pathogenic avian influenza virus H9N2 was chosen as the control in this study. Results The re-mained infectivities of three viruses after 1 minute exposure to 1% Virkon solution were below the limit of de-tection (1. 0 lgTCID50/100 μl). Exposing to 0. 5% Virkon solution decreased the viral titers of H5N1 and H9N2 viruses below the detection limit and reduced the titer of H5N6 virus to 1. 75 lgTCID50/100 μl. The virucidal efficacy of 0. 25% Virkon solution against some of the detected viruses was achieved by increasing the exposure time to 5 minutes. The 84 Disinfectant solutions at concentrations of 10%, 5% and 2. 5% low-ered the viral titers of three viruses below the detection limit of 1. 0 lgTCID50/100 μl, but the 1. 25% 84 Disinfectant solution only lowered the viral titers to 1. 25-2. 5 lgTCID50/100 μl. The similar results were ob-served in groups treated with SOLARSEPT solutions. 1% 84 Disinfectant solution didn′t show any virucidal activity against the three viruses after 1 minute of exposure even when the exposure time was extended to 5 minutes. Under the contaminated condition, 1% Virkon solution, 10% and 5% 84 Disinfectant solutions as well as 100% and 50% SOLARSEPT solutions lowered the viral titers below 1. 0 lgTCID50/100μl. Conclu-sion The three commercial disinfectants (1% Virkon solution, 10% 84 Disinfectant solution and SOLAR-SEPT solution) were efficient virucides for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses subtype H5 even under the contaminated condition. Increasing the exposure time had no significant effects on the efficacy of three disinfectants after the virucidal activities were neutralized by enough viruses. No significant differences in vi-rucidal activities of three disinfectants against HPAI H5 viruses and LPAI H9 virus were observed.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the type of mutation and clinical features, prognosis, and clinical characteristics of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) caused by compound heterozygous mutations in the NCF2 gene in children. Methods:The clinical data of 1 case of neonatal CGD caused by compound heterozygous mutations of NCF2 gene at Tianjin Children′s Hospital in August 2019 was analyzed, and domestic and international literatures were searched to summarize the clinical characteristics, gene mutation type and prognosis of CGD caused by NCF2 mutation. Results:The diagnosis of CGD was confirmed by the presence of compound heterozygous mutations c. 196_197insA (p.Arg66Glnfs23X) and c. 1180T>G (p.Tyr394Asp) in the NCF2 gene, accompanied with the clinical manifestations of fever, cough, multiple clumps and nodules in the chest CT at 25 days after birth, and the neutrophil respiratory burst test stimulation index(SI) 23.This new mutation was not reported in the Human Genetic Mutation Database.The child had a residual portion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity and was followed up until the age of 9 months with an antifungal drug without recurrent infection.A total of 101 cases of CGD patients with NCF2 gene mutation were reported in domestic and international databases.Totally, 33 cases had SI results, with 22 cases below 3, 11 cases above 3, and 8 cases of missense mutations. Conclusions:c. 196_197insA and c. 1180T>G are new mutations in NCF2 gene that can lead to CGD.CGD patients containing missense mutations in the NCF2 gene may have more residual NADPH oxidase activity.

The paper is aimed to establish a method of residue analysis for thiamethoxam and to study its degradation dynamic and final residue and its standard of safe application of thiamethoxam on Lonicera japonica. Samples extracted with methanol by ultrasonication were purified with dichloromethane by liquid-liquid extraction and SPE column and analysed by HPLC-UV. The results showed that average rate was 84.91%-94.44% and RSD 1.74%-4.96% with addition of thiamethoxam in respectively diverse concentration, which meets inspection requirement of pesticide residue. Two kinds of dosages of thiamethoxam were treated- varying from recommended dosage (90 g x hm(-2)) to high dosage (135 g x hm(-2)), Results of two years test showed that thiamethoxam was degraded more than 90% seven days after application and the half - life period of thiamethoxam was 1.54-1.66 d. The digestion rate of thiamethoxam was fast in the L. japonica. The recommended MRL of thiamethoxam in the L. japonica is 0.1 mg x kg(-1), the dosage of 25% thiamethoxam WDG from 90-135 g x hm(-2) is sprayed less than three times a year on L. japonica and 14 days is proposed for the safety interval of the last pesticide application's and harvest's date.

The purpose was to compare the difference between transgene expressions driven by homologous duplicated carbonic anhydrase (DCA) promoter and foreign CaMV35S promoter in the unicellular green alga, Dunaliella salina(D.salina).The CaMV35S promoter-bar construct and DCA promoter-bar construct into D.salina by a Backon 2000 electroporation system were introduced. After the repeated selections with the phosphinothricin (PPT) of 3mg/L, 3 PPT-resistant phenotype transformants were isolated from the CaMV-bar and DCA-bar pools of transformants of D. salina, respectively. The results of PCR and sequencing showed that bar genes were stably integrated into the genome of D.salina, and Southern bolts showed the number of transgene copy had no significant difference between both promoters. Semi-quantitive RT-PCR indicated that the mRNA levels of bar gene were higher in DCA-bar transformants than the CaMV-bar transformants, and could be increased under the induction of high salt in DCA-bar transformants but not in the CaMV-bar transformants. Analysis of growth rate of transformants showed DCA-bar transformants achieved the log stage faster than the CaMV-bar transformants. It is concluded that the homologous promoters have more advantages than the foreign promoters in the transgenic D.salina.

Objective To investigate left ventricular rotation in heahhy subj ects and patients with hypertrophy cardiomyopathy(HCM). Methods Twenty-five healthy subjects and 41 patients with HCM were enrolled. Two-dimensional standard echocardiography were performed and analyzed using Siemens Sequoia C512 system and velocity vector imaging 2.0 version. Left ventricular end diastollc volume(EDV).end systolic volume(ESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),systolic peak rotation velockv and displacement of endocardium and epicardium of basal and apical part of left ventricle were measured.Difference of basal and apical rotation velocity and displacement between endoeardium and eDicardium(DVbase,DVape,DDbase,DDape) were calculated. Results Left ventricle rotated clockwise at basal part and counterclockwise at apex during systole. It rotated stronger at apex(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001)than at basal part and stronger in endocardium than in epicardium(P＜0.01 or P＜0.001). The rotation velocitv time curve consisted of a peak during systole and two peak during diastole,while the rotation displacementtime curve was composed of a smaller diastolic peak and a larger systolic peak. There was asvmmetricalhypertrophy at the basal part of HCM patients,and DVbase and DDbase were significantly increased(P＜0.01 or P＜0.001) in the significant hypertrophy segment. Conclusions Velocity vector imaging can assess left ventricular rotation effectively. HCM patients acquire mismatch of endocardium and epicardiuIn rotation.
