Objective To investigate the distribution, isolation and culture of the epidermal stem cells from rats. Methods Immnohistochemical methods were used to confirm the location of the epidermal stem cells. The skin of neonatal rats were dissociated into single cells by dispaseⅡ and trypsin solution,the rapidly adherent cells to collgenⅣ were cultured with KSFM,and those no rapidly adherent cells were regarded as control. Immunohistology and flow cytometry were conducted to identify the epidermal stem cells. Results ? 6-integrin and K15 were expressed in the basal layer cells and hair follicle bulge cells, while the CD71 was negative negatively expressed. CD34 were expressed in the hair follicle bulge cells while not in the basal layer cells. The epidermal stem cells isolated by collgenⅣ had higher colony forming efficiency. Immunocytochemical staining showed that ? 6-integrin and K15 were strongly expressed in the cultured epidermal stem cells. Flow cytometry indicated that 84% cultured epidermal stem cells were expressed ? 6-integrin. Conclusion The epidermal stem cells of rats are located at the basal layer of epidermis and the hair follicle bulge.

The Cashmere goat is mainly used to produce cashmere, which is very popular for its delicate fiber, luscious softness and natural excellent warm property. Keratin associated protein (KAP) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) of the Cashmere goat play an important role in the proliferation and development of cashmere fiber follicle cells. Bacterial artificial chromosome containing kap6.3, kap8.1 and bmp4 genes were used to increase the production and quality of Cashmere. First, we constructed bacterial artificial chromosomes by homology recombination. Then Tol2 transposon was inserted into bacterial artificial chromosomes that were then transfected into Cashmere goat fibroblasts by Amaxa Nucleofector technology according to the manufacture's instructions. We successfully constructed the BAC-Tol2 vectors containing target genes. Each vector contained egfp report gene with UBC promoter, Neomycin resistant gene for cell screening and two loxp elements for resistance removing after transfected into cells. The bacterial artificial chromosome-Tol2 vectors showed a high efficiency of transfection that can reach 1% to 6% with a highest efficiency of 10%. We also obtained Cashmere goat fibroblasts integrated exogenous genes (kap6.3, kap8.1 and bmp4) preparing for the clone of Cashmere goat in the future. Our research demonstrates that the insertion of Tol2 transposons into bacterial artificial chromosomes improves the transfection efficiency and accuracy of bacterial artificial chromosome error-free recombination.

Objective: To assess the implementation effects of clinical pathways, compared with usual care, among patients with stroke. Methods:Two investigators independently searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and Wanfang Database for studies published before December 2014. Jadad methodological approach was applied to assess the quality of included studies and RevMan software (version 5.2.7) was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 11 RCTs involving 913 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The overall results showed that a shorter average length of stay [MD = -2.92; 95% CI (-4.06, -1.78); P < 0.001] and a lower inpatient expenditures [SMD = -1.64; 95% CI (-1.80, -1.48); P < 0.001] in clinical pathways group comparing with the usual care group. The higher score of patient satisfaction was also seen in clinical pathways group. Conclusion: clinical pathways may reduce the average length of stay, reduce the inpatient expenditures, increase patient satisfaction and improve the quality of care in stroke management.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness and safety of liraglutide combined with insulin and glipizide in the treat-ment of subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH)complicated with type 2 diabetes in the elderly patients. METHODS:Totally 82 elderly patients with SCH complicated with type 2 diabetes were selected from our hospital during Dec. 2013-Dec. 2015,and then divided into trial group(40 cases)and control group(42 cases)according to random number table. Control group was given Insulin in-jection+Glipizide tablets. Trial group was additionally given Liraglutide injection 0.6 mg,sc,qd,on the basis of control group. Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 12 weeks. The levels of blood glucose [fasting glucose,postprandial 1 h and 2 h glucose,mean of daily differences(MODD),mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE)],glycosylated hemoglo-bin,body weight,total cholesterol,blood pressure [systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)],thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)and homeostasis model assessment(HOMA-B)were observed in 2 groups before and after treat-ment. The occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:Totally 4 patients of control group withdrew from the study,and no one withdrew from the study in trial group. Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of blood glu-cose,glycosylated hemoglobin,body weight,total cholesterol,blood pressure,TSH and HOMA-B (P>0.05). After treat-ment,body weight and total cholesterol level of trial groups were significantly decreased and lower than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,blood pressure (SBP, DBP)and TSH in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while HOMA-B levels were increased significantly,and trial group was significantly better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between trial group (12.5%) and control group (19.0%)(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Liraglutide com-bined with insulin and glipizide for elderly patients with SCH complicated with type 2 diabetes can effectively reduce blood glucose level,keep blood glucose stable,control the increase of body weight and improve islet B cell function with good safety.

AIM: To construct a human recombinant immunoglobulin library containing D-Dimer by using phage surface display technology. METHODS: Human immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain genes were amplified respectively by RT-PCR from different human lymphocytes using family specific primers and signal sequences of immunoglobulin as half-nested PCR primers. The heavy chain and light chain PCR products were cloned into phagemid vector pComb3H and the human immunoglobulin recombination library was generated with helper phage VCSM13. RESULTS: A human combinatorial antibody library consisting of 2.8?10~8 in dependent clones was generated with a titer of 4.1?10~(17)PFU/L. The recombinant frequency of Fab genes was 46%. CONCLUSION: A human combinatorial antibody library was generated. It will be beneficial for selecting Fab antibodies of D dimer from the library.

This study examined the cytotoxicity of a new implant material modified by microarc oxidation technique. Cells on different surfaces of the implant were evaluated 2, 4 and 6 days after treatment. The results showed that cell attachment, cell morphology, and cell proliferation were influenced by the different surface treatments, and a significant increase in the osteoblast cell activity was observed on the porous MAO-Ti coating. Our results suggest that the porous MAO-Ti surface has a better biocompatibility and electrochemical performance than pure titanium surface.
