Somatic cell reprogramming has developed rapidly in the field of modern biology. Induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs)obtained through somatic cell reprogramming are not only capable of self-renewal,but also have multidirectional differentiation potential,which plays an important role in disease modeling and regenerative medicine. This paper reviewed the gene reprogramming technology,the disease models of iPSCs and the application prospects of iPSCs in childhood genetic diseases,so as to provide a reference for the application of iPSCs in the research of mechanism and treatment of various genetic diseases.

Objective:To study the expression of IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 1 (IQGAP1 )in oral squamous cell cancer(OSCC)tissue,and to explore the effects of IQGAP1 on cell proliferation and invasion as well as its underlying mechanism. Methods:Expression levels of IQGAP1 in tumor and adjacent normal tissues were examined by western blot and RT-PCR.OSCC cell line SCC-4 cells was transfected with the recombinant plasmid-pcDNA3.1 -IQGAP1 by lipofectamine,and then treated with an Akt in-hibitor.The phosphorylation of Akt,cell proliferation and invasion were detected by western blot,MTT assay and Transwell invasion as-say respectively.Results:Protein and mRNA expression levels of IQGAP1 were higher in cancer tissue than in adjacent normal tissue (P <0.05).Transfection of pcDNA3.1 -IQGAP1 increased IQGAP1 expression,enhanced the capability of cell proliferation and inva-sion (P <0.05),increased p Akt level in the cells.Preconditioning with an Akt inhibitor reduced p Akt level.Furthermore,silencing Akt pathway blocked the increase of cell proliferation and invasion induced by IQGAP1 overexpression(P <0.05).Conclusion:IQ-GAP1 overexprission can mediate the ability of proliferation and invasion of OSCC cells by regulating the activation of Akt pathway.

Ascites is an important indicator of poor prognosis of liver cirrhosis.Although several guidelines and consensus statements on the management of ascites have been published in the past years,there are still a lot of controversial problems in this regard.The current contro-versial problems and difficulties in the management of ascites,such as the timing of sodium supplementation or sodium restriction,the selec-tion of diuretics,the application value of aquaretics,the strategy of albumin administration after large-volume paracentesis,and the indica-tions and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt,are reviewed.It is pointed out that further studies on these problems with evidence-based medicine means will enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cirrhotic ascites and improve patients'prognosis.

Objective To analyze clinical features of patients with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS).Methods Clinical manifestations,response to treatment and prognosis of 89 cases with eosinophilia hospitalized at Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH)during the past nine years were analyzed retrospectively,including four cases conformed with the diagnostic criteria for EMS set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the US.Results Infection,tumor and other diseases that could cause increased eosinophil count were excluded in all but four cases,with all female,average age of 48.8 years,and mean count of eosinophil of 42.75 percent of blood cells.Multi-organs and systems were involved in the patients,with the most common clinical manifestations of myalgia,skin rash,joint swelling,arthralgias,respiratory symptoms and paresthesia.Patients responded well to prednisone at acute phase of illness,but prognosis was poor as severe pulmonary hypertension occurred.Occurrence of EMS closely associated with environmental factors and special attention should be paid to patient's history of medication and diet in its diagnosis.Conclusion EMS is characterized by the increasing of eosinophils and myalgia,while multi-organs and systems were involved.Glucocorticoid plays an important role in the treatment at acute phase of illness.

Abstract?AlM:To investigate effect and safety of the limbal stem cell transplantation combined with low concentrations of mitomycin C for pterygium patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).? METHODS: Eighty patients of 96 pterygium eyes admitted to hospital were divided into groups of high concentration, low concentration group and the control group, and 3 groups were given pterygium excision combined with limbal stem cell transplantation. The high concentration group, the low concentration groups were given prior to stem cell transplantation 0. 2, 0. 1mg/mL mitomycin C coverage. The cure rate and recurrence rate in three groups of patients, as well as visual acuity before and after treatment were compared.?RESULTS: Three groups patients' visual acuity were significantly improved after treatment (P<0. 05), there was no significant difference before treatment in visual acuity (P>0. 05);epithelial healing time of high concentration group was significantly higher than low concentration group and the control group (P<0. 05), there was no significant difference between low concentration and control groups of epithelial healing time (P>0. 05); cure rates of low concentration group was higher than high dose group, the recurrence rate in low concentration group was lower than the high dose group.? CONCLUSlON: Pterygium excision combined with limbal stem cell transplantation has significant efficacy for pterygium, and mitomycin C can effectively reduce the relapse rate, but for the patients with T2DM concentration of mitomycin C should be reduced.

With the existence of capsules,lens regeneration occurs in some mammals after extracapsular lens extraction.It is usually thought that lens regenerates from resident lens epithelial cells (LECs) in the capsule.However,lens regeneration dose not mean simple redupilication of development,and transparency of the lens is affected by irregular growth,migration and transdifferention of the resident LECs.Previous studies mainly focus on the dysplasia of LECs,but update theory about lens regeneration is proposed to be associated with stem cells.Some views and suggestions in lens regeneration are concerned in current researches to better illuminate the mechanism and therapy of posterior capsular opacity.

Objective: To investigate the evolutionary relationship of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 pandemic with the HA genes of A/H1N1 viruses isolated in different parts of the world previously. Methods: The sequences of the HA gene of the novel A/H1N1 strain and the reference sequences of human, swine, and avian influenza A viruses were retrieved from NCBI. MEGA 4.0 software was employed to align, blunt nucleotide sequences, and construct phylogenetic tree. The deduced amino acid sequences of the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 were compared with those of the A/H1N1 isolates in North America, Europe, and Asia. Results: Phylogenetic tree of the HA genes of A/H1N1 strains worldwide showed that the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 shared a high homology with those of the 7 human A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in North America during 1976 to 2007, and shared a low homology with those of the human influenza viruses A/H1N1 isolated in Europe and Asia. Phylogenetic tree of the HA gene between different species showed that the HA genes of novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 had a close evolutionary relationship with those of the two swine A/H1N1 strains isolated in 1998 and 2007 in North America, but a distant evolutionary relationship with those of swine and avian A/H1N1 isolated in Europe and Asia. Alignment of amino acid at important antigenic sites showed that the HA gene of the novel A/H1N1 strains shared important antigen sites with the swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in North America, and did not share with the swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Europe and Asia or the human A/H1N1 influenza vaccine strains. Conclusion: The HA genes of the novel influenza virus A/H1N1 might originate from swine A/H1N1 influenza viruses in North America after a long time evolution and the reassortment with fragments of human A/H1N1 in the area, and the current A/human/H1N1 influenza vaccine may not be effective for the novel A/H1N1 virus.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the hypoglycemic effect of raspberry ketone and its mechanism on diabetic model mice induced by alloxan. METHODS: Healthy male KM mice were used to establish diabetic models by injecting alloxan via tail vein, and then randomly divided into model control group, metformin group (90 mg · kg-1), and raspberry ketone low, middle and high (200, 400, 800 mg · kg-1) dose groups. Normal control group was set. All groups had been treated for 20 d. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured on 0, 7 and 14 d. After 20 d, glucose tolerance test was carried out. Fast insulin (FINS) of the mice were measured, and the insulin sensitivity index(ISI) was calculated by determining the contents of FBG and FINS. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malonaldehyde (MDA) in serum were measured. Pathological changes of pancreas and insulin expression were examined. RESULTS: Raspberry ketone could effectively control the increase of fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.05) and reduce the role of the area under the glucose curve. Compared with the model group, the levels of FINS, SOD and GSH-Px activity were significantly improved (P < 0.05), and MDA content was decreased (P < 0.05) in the high dose raspberry ketone group. The pathological symptoms of pancreas were relieved in the high dose group. CONCLUSION: Raspberry ketone can effectively control blood glucose, protect pancreatic islet β cells, and improve insulin secretion in diabetic mice by effectively inhibiting the oxidative stress.
