Abstract: RNA molecules for RNA interference to target a mutant allele with a point mutation, wherein the molecule has a nucleotide sequence complementary to a nucleotide sequence of a coding region of the mutant allele; and when counted from the base at the 5?-end in the nucleotide sequence complementary to the sequence of the mutant allele: a base at position 5 or 6 is mismatched with a base in the mutant allele; a base at position 10 or 11 is at the position of the point mutation and is identical to the base at the position of the point mutation in the mutant allele; the group at the 2?-position of the pentose in the ribonucleotide at position 8 is modified with OCH3, halogen, or LNA; and the group at the 2?-position of the pentose in the ribonucleotide at position 7 is not modified with any of OCH3, halogen, and LNA.

Abstract: A back lighted liquid crystal display including a light converging assembly, a light-guiding plate, a reflecting plate, and a diffusing plate integrally welded together outside of the display area and a display having a housing configuration where horizontal and vertical integrated circuit driver chips are mounted on respective adjacent peripheral edge portions of a glass plate member of a liquid crystal panel and where an illuminating lamp is mounted for easy removal on an opposite edge from the edge portions where the driver chips are located.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display including a sheet for converging light from a back light source. The sheet may be an array of truncated prisms, an array of prisms separated by flat portions, asymmetrical prisms with dual vertices, or prisms with different vertices.
