The transcription factor Oct-4 is expressed specifically in mammalian preimplantation embryos and its function is related to the maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency. The functional role of the heterogenous expression of Oct-4 remains unclear however. A GFP reporter construct, pOct-4(p)-GFP was generated, containing the upstream regulatory regions of bovine Oct-4 gene and its expression pattern was evaluated in the developing embryos of mouse, pig and rabbit following intracytoplasmic sperm injection. GFP fluorescence was visible early at the 2-cell stage and then became stronger in the blastocysts of all three species. However, the distribution of the GFP signals was restricted to the cells of inner cell mass and no fluorescence was detectable in trophectoderm cells. These results suggest that the bovine Oct-4 promoter is functional and that its embryonic expression activity is similar in different mammalian species.

Objective To investigate the effects of alprostadil on expression of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and evaluate the clinical efficacy.Methods Seventy-three SAP patients were collected from January 2014 to May 2016,and then were randomly divided into control group (n=37) and experimental group (n=36).On the basis of routine treatment,the experimental group patient was given alprostadil at a dose of 15μg/d.The expression of C-reactive protein (CRP),white blood cell (WBC) count,amylase,alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),creatinine,serum proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-1 beta (IL-1[β),interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected in serum on the 1st,3rd and 7th day.Results The biochemical indexes and expression ofproinflammatory cytokines were significantly increased in the two groups on the 1st day,and decreased gradually,with a significant difference between the time points (P＜0.05),but the between-group difference was not significant (P＞0.05).These indexes were decreased significantly with the passage of time and there were significant differences between the two groups at the 3rd and 7th day (P＜0.05).Conclusion Alprostadil can effectively reduce the severity of early inflammatory reaction in SAP patients,and has important significance for improving the prognosis.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of active fraction of Angelica Sinensis Radix in mice under high altitude hypoxia condition. Methods Totally 72 healthy SPF mice were randomly divided into control group (K), model group (M), Rhodiola rosea group, and active fraction of Angelica Sinensis Radix groups (B, C, X). The mice were administerted corresponding treatment by gavage for 21 days. Control mice were given normal saline in same volume. From the 8th day, all mice excepted control mice were exposed to high altitude hypoxia cabin after 0.5 hour gavage treament. On the 22nd day, after got out of the cabin and their body weight were measured, mice were put to death through eyeball blood sampling to prepare splenic lymphocyte suspension. The proliferation and transformation capacities of lymphocyte cell and killing activity of NK cells were detected by MTT. The content of IL-2 in the serum of mice in each group were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group, the body weight of mice, the proliferation and transformation capacities of lymphocyte cell, the killing activity of NK cells, and the content of IL-2 were all significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Experiment tests showed that the proliferation and transformation abilities of lymphocyte cell and the killing activity of NK cells were all increased in the mice of group B, C, and X compared with those of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The stimulate index of lymphocyte cell was raised after X intervention compared with those of the model group (P<0.05). The content of IL-2 in the serum was enhanced after intervention of active fraction C and X of Angelica Sinensis Radix compared with those of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Active fraction of Angelica Sinensis Radix shows increasing immunological function of mice exposed to hypoxia.

Objective To study the effectiveness of endoscopic multiband mucosectomy ( EMBM ) for early cancer and precancerous lesions of the esophagus. Methods From August 2007 to December 2011,EMBM was performed on 46 patients (25 males and 21 females) with the average age of 59.0 (35-82) yr.All lesions were margined under NBI,with 2 to 13 cm in diameter (median 4 cm),and occupying at most two-third of the circumference of the esophagus.Of 46 patients,41 (89.1％ ) accepted deep sedation by intravenous injection of propofol.All patients were followed up with endoscopy at 1,6,12 months after the operation.Results A total of 48 lesions were resected completely by EMBM with 1-11 processes.During the procedure,controllable bleeding occurred in 3 cases and micro-perforation occurred in 1,which was cured by metal clip.Histopathological diagnoses revealed 3 cases of intramucosal squamous carcinoma,19 high grade intraepithelial neoplasia,17 low grade intraepithelial neoplasia,and 7 inflammatory hyperplasia.No recurrence was found during the follow-up of 1 to 53 months.Conclusion EMBM is effective and safe for the treatment of early cancer and precancerous lesions of the esophagus.Appropriate indication and manipulation can decrease complication occurrence.

Using cyproheptadine ( CYP) as template molecule, methacrylic acid ( MAA) as monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) with high selectivity to cyproheptadine (CYP) were prepared by the optimization of porogen, monomer, and the mole ratio of monomer to template. The specific surface area of the prepared polymers was 24. 9 m2 / g. The recovery of CYP was above 94. 0% when the following procedure was applied to the cartridge of MIP as adsorptive material: conditioning with methanol and water, loading with water, washing with water and methanol, and eluting with methanol-ammonia (95: 5, V/ V). As a control, the recovery of CYP on non-imprinted polymers cartridge (NISPE) was only 38. 9% . The binding capacity of the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) towards CYP found to be about 8. 8 mg of CYP/ g polymers and the imprinting factor (IF) was about 2. 32. Under optimal conditions, a mixed standard solution of CYP, amitriptyline, sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (10 mg / L each) was uploaded on the MISPE and NISPE for selectivity experiment. The gradient elution was used by using 0. 05% sodium pentanesulfonate solution (A)-acetintrile (B) as a mobile phase. The recoveries on the MISPE for sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (different structure with CYP) were less than 10% , however, the recovery for the similar structural amitriptyline was more than 70% , and the recovery more than 90% for CYP. All the recoveries on the NISPE for four analytes were less than 30% . This new MISPE cartridge was applied to extract and enrich CYP in livestock drinking water sample, and the recoveries of CYP ranged from 80. 5% -97. 7% , and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0. 01 mg / L.

Objective Fecal biomarkers have emerged as an important tool for assessing and monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD) .We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fecal neopterin and calprotectin in pa-tients with active inflammatory bowel disease and made comparison with that of serum C-reactive protein ( CRP) . Methods A total of 151 consecutive patients with IBD (84 CD and 67 UC) provided 2 gram fecal samples for the measurement of fecal neopterin( FNP) and calprotectin( FCP) concentrations and 2 milliliter blood samples for the serum C-reactive protein measurement before undergoing a colonoscopy.ELISA was applied in the measurement.Clinical disease activities were scored independently according to the Best Crohn′s Disease Activity Index(CDAI) in patients with CD, while the Modi-fied Mayo Scores in patients with UC.Comaprison was made in the relativity of each fecal marker and IBD activity score, the optimum value of diagnosing IBD acitivity as to each fecal marker, as well as sensitivity, specificity, moreover, receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) was drawn.50 healthy volunteers who received a normal colonoscopy were also enrolled as the control group and asked to give a 2 gram fresh stool sample. Results The FNP and FCP concentrations in patients with IBD were significantly higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05).Both FNP and FCP concentrations differed significantly in clinically active IBD when compared with those in patients with inactive disease( P<0.001) .In CD patients, the correlation coefficients of FNP and FCP with CDAI were 0.55 and 0.59, respectively(P<0.001).In UC patients, the correlation coefficients of FNP and FCP with Mayo scores were 0.74 and 0.77, respectively( P<0.001) .The correlation coefficients of serum CRP in CD and UC patients with clinical scores were 0.49 and 0.60, respectively(P<0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUC) of FNP and FCP for the diagnosis of clinical activity in pa-tients with CD were 0.75 and 0.80, respectively.The AUC of FNP and FCP in UC patients were 0.85 and 0.90, respectively.The AUC of serum CRP in patients with CD and UC were 0.65 and 0.74, respectively.When combined FNP with FCP, the AUC in pa-tients with CD and UC were 0.85 and 0.92, respectively. Conclusion FNP is a novel reliable and non-invasive biomarker to evalu-ate clinical disease activity in patients with IBD as accurate as FCP, It is advisable to combine FNP with FCP to evaluate disease activi-ty in patients with IBD.

Background:Peroral endoscopic myotomy(POEM)is a novel minimally invasive endoscopic technique for treatment of esophageal achalasia(EA). It has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in several short-term clinical studies, however,studies focusing on its mid- and long-term outcome are rare. Aims:To investigate the mid-and-long term efficacy of POEM in EA patients. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 41 EA patients who underwent POEM in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region from Jul. 2012 to Dec. 2013. All these patients were followed up periodically for clinical symptoms(Eckardt score),maximum esophageal diameter and lower esophageal sphincter pressure(LESP),and the intra- and post-operative complications and recurrence were recorded. Results:POEM was successfully completed in all 41 EA patients,the mean operative time was(69. 5 ± 20. 6)min(range 35-125 min),and the mean length of hospital stay was 3. 5 days. Compared with the pre-operative data,the post-operative Eckardt score,maximum esophageal diameter and LESP during follow-up(mean 26. 3 months, range 19-36 months)were significantly decreased(P all < 0. 05). Procedure-related complications were seen in 6 patients (14. 6% );the clinical success rate was 95. 1%(39 / 41)and the recurrence rate was 2. 4%(1 / 41). Conclusions:POEM is safe and effective in mid-and-long term follow-up with low recurrence rate. It might become the first-line therapy for EA,and the long-term efficacy and complications need further follow-up study.
