1.In vitro culture of embryos and establishment of embryonic stem cell lines
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(14):2273-2277
BACKGROUND:The successful establishment of human embryonic stem cel lines in vitro is of great significance to human embryonic development mechanism and developmental biology, cel and tissue transplantation in the treatment of certain diseases. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the progress of in vitro culture of embryos and establishment of embryonic stem cel lines, to explore the influential factors for in vitro culture of embryos, and the methods of culturing human discarded embryos, isolating inner cel mass and establishing embryonic stem cel lines, as wel as the establishing conditions for embryonic stem cel lines. METHODS:With the key words of“embryo, embryonic stem cel s, coculture, sequential culture”, the first author searched CNKI and SCI databases for literatures concerning in vitro culture and transplantation of embryos and establishment of embryonic stem cel lines published from 2000 to 2014. Systematic evaluation was conducted. Final y, 58 literatures were retained for result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The culturing condition for embryos in vitro is the key factor affecting embryo transfer outcomes, including culture medium component and culture system. In previous studies, the component and application of culture medium have changed greatly, and the culture system has altered from single culture to coculture and sequential culture. Ethical issues and embryonic origin restrictions restrict the establishment of human embryonic stem cel lines. Clinical y discarded low-quality embryos can be used as one of the material sources to establish human embryonic stem cel lines, which can effectively lessen the problem of embryo shortage during the establishment of human embryonic stem cel lines and reduce ethical disputes.
2.Microenvironment of cell growth factors and early embryonic development
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(11):1637-1643
BACKGROUND: Early mammalian embryonic development and implantation is a very complex process, which is regulated by a variety of cytokines. Moreover, epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, insulin-like growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor play an important role in this regulation process.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce cytokines related to early embryonic development, including types, structural features and molecular mechanisms, and meanwhile to review the effects of epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, insulin-like growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in the early embryonic development.
METHODS:A literature retrieval was performed to search relevant articles published from 1989 to 2015 using the keywords of “embryos development, epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor”. Active effects of these five kinds of cytokines in overcoming the mammalian embryonic development block were reviewed and summarized to provide theoretical and experimental basis for further optimization of the embryonic culture system in vitro.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cel growth factors involved in embryonic development is the focus of the study. Insulin-like growth factor is capable of promoting the embryonic growth; epidermal growth factor exhibits multiform functions in the embryonic development; leukemia inhibitory factor directly affects oocyte cel development, and progesterone increases the expression of leukemia inhibitory factor to provide a good cytokine microenvironment for embryonic development; vascular endothelial growth factor promotesin vitro oocyte maturation, and plays a very important role in various stages of embryonic development. To clarify these regulatory patterns of cytokines cannot only contribute toin vitro embryonic culture, but also reduce embryonic apoptosis, which is of great significance for promoting embryonic development.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on fetal ventriculomegaly identified through prenatal ultrasonography and the outcomes of these newborns were followed up. Methods From March 2006 to July 2008, MRI was performed on 135 pregnant women whose fetuses diagnosed as fetal ventriculomegaly at an average of 32 gestational weeks in Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University. Mild ventriculomegaly was defined when the width of unilateral or bilaeral fetal cerebral ventricle triangle was 10-15 mm, moderate ventriculomegaly 16-20 mm and severe ventriculomegaly >20 mm. We introduced the Denver developmental screening test(DDST) to follow-up the mild ventriculomegaly and normal babies, confirmed by MRI, at 6-12 months after birth and a case-control study was conducted. The intelligence and growth of these infants were analyzed. Results (1) Diagnostic rate of fetal ventriculomegaly through MRI: Among the 135 gravidas, 60 (44.4%) showed isolated ventriculomegaly, 5 (3.7%) complicated with ventricular hemorrhage; 12 (8.9%) complicated with agenesis of corpus callosum (ACC) and 2 (1.5%) complicated with cerebellar hypoplasia, while 56 (41.5%) were normal. Seventy-nine cases had fetal ventriculomegaly on MRI and 15.2% (n=12) of them complicated with ACC. (2) Degree of fetal ventriculomegaly on MRI: Among the 60 isolated ventriculomegaly cases, 55 (91.7%) were mild and 5 (8.3%) moderate ones. Among the 5 cases complicated with ventricular hemorrhage, one was mild ventriculomegaly, and 4 moderate or severe cases. Among the 12 cases with ACC, 8(66.7%) were moderate ventriculomegaly and 4 (33.3%) severe cases. The 2 cases with cerebellar hypoplasia were both moderate ventriculomegaly fetuses. (3) Follow-up at 6-12 months after birth : thirty out (case group) of the 55 isolated ventriculomegaly cases, 38 out of the 56 normal babies and 42 babies with normal MRI results were followed up, and the later 80 cases were taken as control. Four infants (13.3%) in the case group and 10 (12.5%) in the control group showed abnormal or suspected results in DDST (P>0.05), the rest babies were all normal. (4) Clinical outcomes of the 79 ventriculomegaly fetuses diagnosed by MRI: thirty mild ventriculomegaly babies and 5 moderate ones were born at term and showed normal at follow ups. However, 7 gravidas were not compliant, 6 pregnancies were terminated, and 12 were last. Three of the 12 cases with ACC continued the pregnancy, and postnatal MRI of the babies showed the same with the prenatal MRI, 8 pregnancies were induced and one was lost. All of the 5 fetuses with ventricufar hemorrhage were induced and the prenatal diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy. One of the 2 fetuses with cerebellar hypoplasia was term delivered and diagnosed as cerebral palsy at the age of 6 months, and the other one was induced. Conclusions MRI is an indispensable complementary diagnostic method for fetal ventriculomegaly diagnosed through ultrasound. The development of intelligence and growth of babies born with mild isolated ventriculomegaly is the same as normal ones.

Objective To investigate effects of hypertensive agents on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF)and prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Method Thirty patients withFILCH were divided into group A,B and C according to mean arterial pressure(MAP) with various ranges of <10%, 10 ~ 20%, and > 20%, respectively. Patients of three groups were checked with single photon emissioncomputed tomography (SPECT),and computerized tomography of head successively, 24 hours, 3 ~ 5 days, and 12~ 15 days after admission for the assessment of therapeutic effects. The rtes of the decrease in rCBF compared be-twecn groups were analyzed with t test. Neurologic function defect scale, activities of living scale and number of re-bleeding compared between two groups were analyzed by X2 test, respectively. Results There were statisticallysignificant differences in the rate of the decrease in rCBF. The neurologic function defect scale and activities of liv-ing scale at 24 hours, 3 ~ 5 days, and 12 ~ 15 days after admission compared between group C and group A, andbetween group C and group B showed significant differences ( P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differ-enees in rebleeding during acute phase of HICH between group A and group B or group C (P < 0.05).Conclusions If the systolic blood pressure is above 185mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 95mmHg,it is ra-tional and safe to lower the MAP by about 15% with hypotensive gents so as to minimize the impact on regionalcerebral blood flow.
