A highly sensitive electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) biosensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNT)/Ag-TiO_2 composite film was developed. The solution containing Ag-TiO_2-MWNT composite was casted on the carbon paste electrode surface to form a robust film, which combine the advantages of the good biocompatibility of Ag-TiO_2 naocomposite and the fine conductivity, as well as the large active surface area of carbon nanotubes. The composite could greatly improve the immobilization capacity of the probe DNA. The morphologies and electrochemistry of the nanocomposite film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical techniques including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. DNA hybridization events were monitored by a label-free method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This label-free electrochemical impedance DNA biosensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase gene sequence assay. The multicomponents films also displayed a high stability during repeated regeneration and hybridization process.

[Objective] The aim was to choose the best feeder layer by observing the effects of various human feeders supporting human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), and to probe the correlation between the levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) secreted by feeders and the growth of the hESCs. [Methods] The primary cells from various tissues were cultured, including foreskin, stromal endometrium, villus, adult fallopian tubal, fetal skin, fetal muscle and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The hESCs were transferred to various feeders, and then the best condition was probed, which was based on the feeder density and the time of mitomycin-C acting on the feeder. Comparing the characteristics of the hESCs, the best feeder was chosen of all kinds of feeders from various tissues that support the hESCs. The level of bFGF secreted by various feeders was detected using ELISA. [Results] All of tested feeders could support the hESCs growth for over 10 passages in the culture, especially the foreskin and the adult fallopian tubal. The density of feeders was related with the morphology and the differentiation rate of the hESCs. According to the characteristics of feeder, the feeder ranking was as follows: foreskin, stromal endometrium, villus, adult fallopian tubal, fetal skin and fetal muscle. Based on the characteristics of the hESCs, the order of feeders was: foreskin, adult fallopian tubal, stromal endometrium, villus, fetal muscle and fetal skin. The levels of bFGF (pg·10~(-5)·mL~(-1)) secreted by various feeders were as follows: adult fallopian tubal (13.23±3.39), foreskin (1.99±0.17), villus (1.40±0.17), fetal muscle (2.02 ±1.59), stromal endometrium (0.38±0.28), and fetal skin (0.29±0.29). [Conclusion] The foreskin and the adult fallopian tubal could support the hESCs better than others though all of them could;do, especially the, foreskin. The bFGF that secreted by the adult fallopian tubal was the highest of all. The correlation was not obvious .between the levels of bFGF secreted by feeders and the growth of the hESCs.

The clinical values of coils embolization in the treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) and related complications were investigated. Eleven patients with PAVMs verified by pulmonary arterial angiography were treated by transcatheter coils embolization. Chest X-ray (11 cases), computer tomography (7 cases) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (2 cases) were performed before embolization. Blood-gas analysis was done in 5 cases before and after embolization. The follow-up materials of 8 patients were collected to evaluate the effect of embolization with coils. The clinical manifestations included cerebral embolus, hemoptysis and decreased oxygenation in 9 patients and the remaining 2 had no symptoms. 9/11 cases were found by chest X-ray and 8 were diagnosed definitely. 7/7, 2/2 cases were diagnosed by CT or MR and diagnosis was made in all cases. Embolization was performed in 29 vessels. Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood of 5 cases changed significantly before and after embolization. Slight complications occurred in 6 patients, such as low fever, chest pain, pleurisy. The follow-up results showed that 7 cases were cured effectively. No primary and secondary device migration, and no medical paradoxical embolization occurred. It was concluded that coils embolization is a well-established method for treating PAVMs. It is a minimally invasive lung preserving treatment with high efficiency and less complication.

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer stem cell is an important reason for the invasion and recurrence of prostatic carcinoma. However, separation efficiency of prostate cancer stem cells is very low.OBJECTIVE: To explore the efficient method for isolating and identifying the prostate cancer stem cells from human prostatic carcinoma cell lines PC-3 and LNCap. METHODS: Prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and LNCap were cultured in serum free medium (SFM) and serum supplemented medium (SSM), respectively. The percentage of prostate cancer stem cells from different medium was detected by flow cytometry through markers CD133 and CD44, and the properties of prostate cancer stem cells were preliminarily identified using inducing differentiation experiments.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: PC-3 and LNCap formed sphere cells in SFM, which can be induced into adherent cells after culture in SSM. Higher percentage of CD44+/CD133+cells was obtained from LNCap cells (1.71%; 0.73%) than PC-3 cells (0.59%; 0.32%) in both SFM and SSM. The number of CD44+/CD133+ LNCap cells was more than PC-3 using both methods (P < 0.05), but the efficiency of SFM and SSM had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). However, the culture cycle was longer and number of obtained cells was less by SFM culture, directly influencing functional determination of prostate cancer stem cells. Compared with suspension culture method with SFM, SSM is more convenient and effective in isolating prostate cancer stem cells from LNCap cells.
