Objective:
To establish a fluorescence method based on turncated aptamer for the determination of bisphenol A in water.
Methods:
The bisphenol A truncated aptamer containing 38 bases was selected as a recognition module, and was modified with the fluorophore 6-FAM at the 5'end. The 3'end of the complementary sequence cDNA was modified with the quencher DABCYL. The standard solutions of bisphenol A and interfering compounds were configured. The detection system was established after optimizing the number of bases in cDNA, the concentration ratio of truncated aptamer to cDNA, the incubation temperature and time, and the pH of the buffer. The specificity and recovery experiments were carried out.
Results:
When the complementary sequence cDNA included 9 bases, the concentration ratio of the truncated aptamer to cDNA was 1:1.5, the pH value of the buffer solution was 7.5, the cDNA was incubated at 55 ℃ for 60 minutes, in the concentration range of 10-75 pmol/L, the linear regression equation was y=2 230.7x+110 825, the correlation coefficient was 0.926. The limits of detection was 3.3 pmol/L. The difference values of fluorescence intensity between tetrabromobisphenol A, estradiol, estriol, bisphenol S and bisphenol A were obviously different, so there was no significant interference to the test result. The recovery rates were 97.8%, 98.8% and 102.3% with the spiked concentrations of 20.0, 40.0 and 60.0 pmol/L. The relative standard deviations were 4.4%, 2.1% and 2.6% (n=5), respectively.
Conclusion
The fluorescence method based on turncated aptamer has the advantages of easy operation, high sensitivity and specificity, which can be used for the determination of bisphenol A in water.

BACKGROUND:Reprogramming somatic cells to generate pluripotent stem cells has a wide application in biomedical research. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of different molecular weight proteins in chicken egg-white extract to elevate expression of pluripotent genes Oct-3/4 and Nanog in 293T cells. METHODS:The extracts of chicken egg-white were separated into more than 3 ku and less than 3 ku ingredients to be used for co-culture with 293T cells. There were four groups, 1×105 293T cells per wel , total 500μL. In the control group, 500μL culture medium was added;in the other three groups, 500μL chicken egg-white extract, more than 3 ku and less than 3 ku ingredients were respectively added. Quantitative PCR was used to determine the relative expression levels of pluripotent genes Nanog and Oct-3/4 in 293T cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By using co-culture method, more than 3 ku ingredients have a role to increase the expression of pluripotent genes Oct-3/4 and Nanog, but less than 3 ku ingredients cannot elevate the expression of pluripotent genes. This indicates that the ingredient of chicken egg-white extract to elevate the expression of pluripotent genes is more than 3 ku proteins.

BACKGROUNDThere are lots of mucus, blood, inflammatory cells and necrotic material in the pick-and-smear slides, resulting in a low detection rate. Liquid-based cytologic test (LCT) has been applied for cervical cytology diagnosis successfully and widely, however it is few reported yet for sputum cytology diagnosis at present. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical value of LCT in sputum examination of patients with lung cancer, and to find a novel method of early diagnosis of lung cancer.
METHODSThe cytologic findings and the diagnostic rate for lung cancer were compared between LCT and conventional pick-and-smear method.
RESULTSThere were smaller area of smear membrane, clearer background, more distinctly cytologic picture and stereoscopic fell by LCT comparing with pick-and-smear method. The diagnostic rate for small cell lung cancer by LCT was significantly higher than that by pick-and-smear method (P < 0.05). After combined detection of the two methods, the diagnostic rate for lung cancer was obviously improved (85.1%), which was remarkably higher than that by pick-and-smear method alone (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSIt is operated easily for LCT to be well controlled in making smear and dyeing. LCT may be a novel technique worthy of wide use. Combination of LCT with pick-and-smear method appears to be of great value in clinical application.
