BACKGROUND:Induced pluripotent stem cels have been a hotspot in regenerative medicine research since it was discovered. The clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cels is excessively focused on, but the safety issue is almost ignored. OBJECTIVE:By summarizing the application of induced pluripotent stem cels in animal experiments to analyze the safety problems of induced pluripotent stem cels and their possible reasons in order to lay a foundation for further study and clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cels. METHODS: PubMed database was retrieved by the first author for articles related to the safety of induced pluripotent stem cels published from 2006 to 2014 using the keywords of “induced pluripotent stem cels, safety, immune, immunogenicity, tumorigenicity, cancer, epigenomic, transplantation, generation, reprogramming,genomic, mutation” in English. Related ful texts were got from Cel Press and Nature Databases. Finaly, 28 articles were chosen in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Safety problems of induced pluripotent stem cels are attracting more and more attentions. Immunogenicity, potential tumorigenicity and epigenetic variation are major risks for the clinical applications of induced pluripotent stem cels. Safety issues of induced pluripotent stem cels mainly come from the reprogramming process. The “integrating genetic manipulation” may lead to a greater risk of tumorigenicity than non-integrating operations. Epigenetic variations emerge in the reprogramming, which are mostly relative to “epigenetic memory” of reprogrammed cels.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of laparoscopic high ligation of inguinal hernia sac in children with veress needle and semi-rigid biopsy forceps.Methods:121 cases of indirect hernia of groin admitted in Rugao People's Hospital from June 2018 to November 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the operation methods, 121 cases were divided into laparoscopic group ( n=76, laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac with pneumoperitoneum needle and semi rigid biopsy forceps) and traditional operation group ( n=45, high ligation of traditional inguinal incision hernia sac). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, postoperative self activity time and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups; the patients were followed up for 3-21 months, and the proportion of postoperative complications and recurrence cases were compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in operative time between the two groups ( P=0.335), but the amount of bleeding [(3.8±0.7)ml vs (7.3±1.7)ml, P<0.05], the length of incision [(0.6±0.1)cm vs (1.8±1.2)cm, P<0.05], the time of recovery of self activity [(9.2±2.6)h vs (16.2±4.2)h, P<0.05] and the time of hospitalization [(1.3±0.6)d vs (3.4±1.3)d, P<0.05] in the laparoscopic group were all better than those in the traditional operation group; the proportion of complications and recurrence in the laparoscopic group during the follow-up period was less than that in the traditional operation group (χ 2=5.243, P=0.022). Conclusions:Laparoscopic high ligation of indirect hernia sac in children with veress needle and semi-rigid biopsy forceps has the advantages of small trauma, fast recovery and less postoperative complications, and the equipment is easy to obtain, which is convenient to carry out and promote in basic hospitals.

Object To study the isomers of amygdalin in BUYANG HUANWU TANG and its production Methods Amygdalin was isolated from both peach seeds and BUYANG HUANWU TANG by using various column chromatography Their structures were identified by the various spectral data Results Amygdalin had been isolated from n BuOH fraction of aqueous extract of BUYANG HUANWU TANG and found to be a pair of D , L epimers and their ration was 1∶1 It was also found that the structures and the ration of D , L epimers of amygdalin in decoction of single peach seed were similar to that in BUYANG HUANWU TANG. The peach seed only gave D amygdalin when it was extracted in 95% EtOH at reflux temperature, and D amygdalin cannot be isomerized when it was treated in water at 100 ℃ Conclusion Isomerization of D amygdalin results from interaction between it and other compounds of peach seed in water at high temperature, and has no evident relation to other constituents in BUYANG HUANWU TANG L amygdalin is a new compound generated due to decoction of peach seed

Objective To observe the implementation of prevention and control measures for water quality improvement in drinking water type of fluorosis and arsenic poisoning areas,to investigate the operating condition of fluoride-safe water supply projects,and to comprehensively evaluate the project's quality and its effectiveness on water quality improvement.Methods According to the Shanxi Province Drinking Water-Borne Fluorosis and Arsenic Poisoning Fluoride-Safe Water Supply Projects Monitoring Programme,in October 2012-June 2013,45 counties in the province were selected to monitor fluorosis and arsenic poisoning.The running condition of fluoridesafe water supply projects was investigated.One factory water sample was collected to determine the water fluoride (arsenic) concentration.Meanwhile,3 tap water samples were collected to determine the water fluoride (arsenic)concentration in each village,using the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB/T 5750.5-2006).Results Totally 1 804 fluoride-safe water supply projects had been surveyed,and 1 673 were in normal condition,accounting for 92.7％.The number of projects supplying fluoride-safe water was 1 328,accounting for 73.6％,benefiting a population of 2.636 779 million people.A total of 2 277 villages were investigated,and 1 826 villages had fluoride-safe water,accounting for 80.2％ of the investigated villagcs.One hundred and forty-five arsenic-safe water supply projects in drinking water type of arsenic poisoning areas were investigated,and 138 were in normal condition,accounting for 95.2％.One hundred and forty-three arsenic-safe water supply projects were qualified,accounting for 98.6％,benefiting a population of 295 240 people.One hundred and fifty-nine villages in drinking water-borne arsenic poisoning areas were investigated,and 156 villages were qualified in water arsenic,accounting for 98.1％ of the investigated villages.Conclusions The qualified rate of fluoride-safe water supply projects is relatively low in drinking water type of fluorosis areas.It has not yet reached the national standard and the management of fluoride-safe water supply projects should be strengthened.The effect of arsenic-safe water supply projects on prevention of drinking water type of arsenic poisoning is significant.

Calcineurin inhibitors,such as cyclosporin A and tacroli mus,are widely-used i mmuno-suppressive drugs clinically.However,renal toxicity,hyperglycae mia and other side-effects can occur over long-term use.Isolation of novel calcineurin inhibitors fro m medicinal plants in recent years has pro-vided a new approach to the development of new immunosuppressive drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity.Recnt studies have shown that medicinal plant extracts, such as isogarcinol, quercetin, kae mpferol,phenylethanoid glycosides,ere mophilane sesquiterpenes A and B,pisiferdiol,as well as extracts fro m Smilax china L and Jasminum humile L,have obvious inhibitory effect on calcineurin.
