The invention provides a novel rhodamine fluorescence probe, and belongs to the field of function materials. The novel rhodamine fluorescence probe provided by the invention is characterized in that rhodamine B (RhB) is used as a raw material and is modified by using diamine so as to prepare rhodamine lactam, further the rhodamine lactam reacts with maleic anhydride (MAH) and amantadine so as to obtain the rhodamine fluorescence probe, and the novel rhodamine fluorescence probe contains multiple amido functional groups and carbon-carbon double bonds, wherein the multiple amido functional groups can react with metal ions, and the carbon-carbon double bonds can react with Hg<2+>. After the spiral rhodamine lactam compound is combined with heavy metal particles, the protonation of lactam nitrogen atoms can result in the reduction of the charge density of the nitrogen atoms, thus the cracking of a C-N chemical bond at the spiral center is triggered, so as to generate the fluorescence change and the color change. The obtained rhodamine derivative has relatively good recognition capability on mercury ions and iron ions in a water solution, the detection limit of the obtained rhodamine derivative on the iron ions reaches 8.3ppm, and the detection limit of the obtained rhodamine derivative on the mercury ions reaches 4.7ppm. The prepared rhodamine derivative can serve as the fluorescence probe and is widely applied to the fields such as environmental engineering, detection and the like.

The present invention relates to targets for Human microRNAs in Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) Genome and provides specific miRNA targets against H5N1 virus. Existing therapies for Avian flu are of limited use primarily due to genetic re-assortment of the viral genome, generating novel proteins, and thus escaping immune response. In animal models, baculovirus-derived recombinant H5 vaccines were immunogenic and protective, but results in humans were disappointing even when using high doses. Currently, two classes of drugs are available with antiviral activity against influenza viruses: inhibitors of the M2 ion channel, amantadine and rimantadine, and inhibitors of neuraminidase, oseltamivir, and zanamivir. There is paucity of information regarding effectiveness of these drugs in H5N1 infection. These drugs are also well known to have side effects like neurotoxicity. Thus there exists a need to develop alternate therapy for targeting the Avian flu virus (H5N1). The present invention addresses this need in the field.
