The tea lace bug, Drake (Hemiptera: Tingidae), is a pest which feeds on the undersides of tea leaves by piercing the epidermis and sucking the sap, and causes great harm to plant growth and tea production. We have obtained the whole mitochondrial genome of (GenBank accession No. MF498769). The entire mt genome is 16,667 bp in size with an A + T content of 78.41%. The tea lace bug mt genome encodes all 37 genes that are typically found in animal mt genomes, consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene order is consistent with other sequenced mt genome of lace bugs. The A + T-rich region of this genome is 2215 bp long with the A + T content of 82.58%, and located between the and genes. Phylogenetic analysis performed using 13 PCGs with 14 heteropteran insects showed that clusters with other Tingidae species.

Herbal extracts and isolated plant compounds play an increasing role in the treatment of skin disorders and wounds. Several new herbal drugs, medicinal products and cosmetic products for the treatment of various skin conditions have been developed in recent years. In this nonsystematic review, we focus on herbal drugs that were tested in controlled clinical studies or in scientifically sound preclinical studies.

Transcription from the major upstream early gene promoter, P89, of bovine papillomavirus (BPV)-1 is detectable in transfected cells lacking viral gene products yet also responds to viral E2 proteins. In contrast to human papillomaviruses (HPVs), the BPV upstream regulatory region (URR) functions as a transcriptional enhancer in epithelial cells and fibroblasts of bovine, murine or human origin. Mutations of Sp1 and/or two novel transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF)-1 sites within the 5' URR of the intact BPV-1 genome dramatically reduced P89-initiated mRNA levels, leading to decreased BPV-1 plasmid amplification and inefficient formation of transformed cell foci.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) is a cytotoxicant with strong oxidizing properties toward various cellular constituents, including sulphydryls, lipids, amino acids and nucleotides and can cause cell death, lipid peroxidation, carcinogenesis and aging. The aim of this study was to characterize ONOO(-) scavenging constituents from herbs. Twenty-eight herbs were screened for their ONOO(-) scavenging activities with the use of a fluorometric method.

The human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 oncogenes, E6 and E7, are transcribed preferentially in keratinocytes and cervical carcinoma cells due to a 5' enhancer. An abundant peptide binding to a 37 nt enhancer element was purified from human keratinocytes by sequence-specific DNA chromatography. This protein was identified as transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF)-1 by complex mobility, binding to wild-type and mutant SV40 and HPV-16 enhansons and antigenic reactivity with two anti-TEF-1 antibodies.
