An increasing number of monopartite begomoviruses are being identified that a satellite molecule (DNAbeta) is required to induce typical symptoms in host plants. DNAbeta encodes a single gene (termed betaC1) encoded in the complementary-sense. We have produced transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and N. tabacum plants expressing the betaC1 gene of a DNAbeta associated with Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV), under the control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. Transgenic plants expressing betaC1 showed severe developmental abnormalities in both species. Microscopic analysis of sections of both transgenic and non-transgenic N. tabacum leaves showed abnormal outgrowths of transgenic N. tabacum to be due to disorganized cell division (hyperplasia) of spongy and palisade parenchyma. Immuno-gold labeling of sections with a polyclonal antibody against the betaC1 protein showed that the betaC1 protein accumulated in the nuclei of cells. The possible biological function of the betaC1 protein was discussed.

To study the possible mechanism of the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on injury to neonatal rat cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation. Lactate dehydrogenase activity [(210.0±11.5) vs (101.4±6.5) U/L] ,apoptosis rate [(8. 138±1. 512) vs(0. 575±0. 168)%] ,and caspase-3 activity [(44.52± 5.69)vs(19.98±1.97) ,all P<0.01] were all increased after hypoxia-reoxygenation. GLP-1 appears to directly act on cardiomyocytes and to protect them from hypoxia-reoxygenation injury [lactate dehydrogenase (190.2±9.0) U/ L, apoptosis rate (2.688±0.580) %, caspase-3 activity 30.34±4.18] mainly by inhibiting the apoptosis probably via the PBK/Akt signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the potential application of a non-viral gene carrier , TAT-LK15 , for delivering nNOSsiRNAin vivo and to study whether TAT-LK15/siRNA can be a new treatment method for chronic inflammatory pain. Method TAT-LK15 was complexed with nNOSsiRNA or scrambled control siRNA. The expression of nNOS was determined in SCDH of chronic inflammatory pain rats by western-blot assay. Pain control efficacy was evaluated by mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal duration (TWD) assays. Results nNOS protein expression was efficiently inhibited by intrathecal injection of TAT-LK15/siRNA complexes , with the reduction of nNOS protein by 52%. Moreover , injection of TAT-LK15/siRNA com-plexes significantly could decrease MWT , but increase TWD in rats with chronic inflammatory pain. Conclusions TAT-LK15 can efficiently deliver nNOSsiRNAin vivo and nNOSsiRNA can relieve chronic inflammatory pain in rats.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( PCCC ) combined with anterior vitrectomy in preventing posterior capsule opacification of congenital cataract surgery.
?METHODS:Postoperative clinical follow-up data of 82 cases ( 87 eyes ) with congenital cataract treated in Eye Center of our hospital from January 2011 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the surgical control group ( 38 cases, 40 eyes, recieved phacoemulsification + PCCC ) and the study group ( 44 cases, 47 eyes, accepted phacoemulsification+ PCCC + anterior vitrectomy). The incidence of central optic axis opaque and postoperative visual acuity distribution were recorded at 1a follow - up. lntraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.
?RESULTS:The rate of central optic axis opaque grade 0 in control group was 37. 5%, compared to 76. 6% in study groups. The opacity distribution ratio of grade 1,2,3 and 4 in study group were lower than that of control group, and the central optic axis opacity distribution ratio in study group was significantly better than that of control group (P<0. 05). The 19 eyes(47. 5%) of visual acuity testing ≤0. 5 in control group , was higher than the 7 eyes(14. 89%) of that in the study group, The 21 eyes (52. 5%) of visual acuity testing >0. 5 in control group was lower than the 40 eyes ( 85. 11%) of that in study group. The visual acuity between two groups has statistical significance difference after 1a follow-up ( P<0. 05 ) , and the visual acuity in study group was significantly better than that in the control group. The postoperative intraocular pressure at 1mo and 1a follow-up was lower than before operation in two groups ( P<0. 05), but there was no significant difference between two groups in intraocular pressure (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Combination of phacoemulsification, PCCC and anterior vitrectomy presents reliable clinical effects on postoperative central optic axis opacity distribution ratio and visual acuity, and it should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of posterior capsule opacification.

AIM:To study the visual acuity and refractive status of students pupils and middle school students in Shenzhen, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of myopia.
METHODS:A cluster sampling method was used to select five primary school students(6 737) and three junior middle school students(1 925) from Shenzhen. The visual acuity, anterior segment, fundus, eye position, and refractive status were measured. Information on associated factors for poor vision were also obtained using a questionaire. The risk factors of poor vision and the rate of myopia between grade or gender were analysed by Chi-square test.
RESULTS:The rate of poor vision was 67. 0%. Female, family history of high myopia, long time of continuous look near, short time of outdoor activities were the main risk factors. The rate of emmetropia, hyperopia, astigmatism and myopia were 15. 1%, 11. 3%, 11. 0% and 62. 6% respectively. Emmetropia, hyperopia and astigmatism incidenece rate decreased with age growing, but myopia incidence rate was increased. There were significant differences between adjacent two grades in myopia(χ2=7. 338-45. 018, P<0. 05 ) except the primary grade six and the junior grade one. There were significant differences between boys ( 61. 0%) and girls ( 65. 5%) in myopia(χ2=17. 180, P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:The rate of poor vison is pretty high in students of Shenzhen aged between 5 to 16 years old, and myopia is the main reason. The development rate of myopia is increased with age. Early management of myopia may play an important role in controlling poor vision in students.

Objective To compare the curative effect of internal fixation treatment between reconstruction-type intramedullary nailing and long anatomic proximal femoral locking plate for patients with ipsilateral femoral proximal and shaft fractures. Methods Twenty-six patients with ipsilateral femoral proximal and shaft fractures were selected, among whom 12 patients were treated with reconstruction-type intramedullary nailing internal fixation treatment (group A), and 14 patients were treated with long anatomic proximal femoral locking plate internal fixation treatment (group B). The fracture to operation time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time and hip joint function according to Majeed function score were compared between 2 groups. Results The fracture to operation time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, proximal femoral fracture healing time, femoral shaft fracture healing time and Majeed function score in group A were (6.65 ± 4.11) d, (131.08 ± 20.70) min, (470.83 ± 96.43) ml, (17.83 ± 2.70) weeks, (20.08 ± 3.97) weeks and (83.83 ± 8.13) scores, and those in group B were (7.13 ± 4.56) d, (141.86 ± 27.30) min, (553.57 ± 127.80) ml, (18.29 ± 5.12) weeks, (21.55 ± 4.19) weeks and (83.21 ± 9.58) scores, and there were no statistical differences (P>0.05). According to Majeed function score, in group A excellent was in 7 cases, good in 4 cases, and general in 1 case; in group B excellent was in 9 cases, good in 3 cases, and general in 2 cases. Conclusions A fixation device fixes two fracture is preferred. Both treatment methods used in the present study could achieve satisfactory curative effect, and should be chosen according to the fracture type of the patients and the surgeon′s familiarity for the methods of internal fixation chosen. The proximal femoral fracture should preferably be reduced and stabilized first. A delay of 5 - 6 d would not affect the ultimate curative effect.
