The difference of gene expression profile changes in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and cardia intestinal metaplasia (CIM) epithelium was studied and the novel associated genes were screened in the early stage by cDNA microarray. The cDNA retro-transcribed from equal quantity mRNA from BE and CIM epithelial tissues were labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence as probes. The mixed probe was hybridized with three pieces BiostarH-40s double dot human whole gene chip. The chips were scanned with a ScanArray 4000. The acquired images were analyzed using GenePix Pro 3.0 software. It was found a total of 141 genes were screened out that exhibited differentially expression more than 2 times in all three chips. It was identified that in gene expression profiles of BE, 74 genes were up-regulated and 67 down-regulated as compared with CIM. The comparison between the difference of gene expression profile changes in BE and CIM epithelia revealed that there existed the difference between BE and CIM at gene level. 141 genes with the expression more than two time were probably related to the occurrence and development of BE and the promotion or progress in adenocarcinoma.

In the experiments we used T_6 medium prepared by ourselves and mixed with diferent concentrations of human serum albumin or mother's serum, from which we prepared follicular flushing medium, insemination medium and growth medium. Clomiphene citrate and HCG were used for inducing superovulation. The semen was obtained through masturbation and artificially capacitated. A mature ovum and 2-3 drops of capacitated semen were incubated together in insemination medium in the culture box containing 5% CO_2 in air atmosphere at 37℃. The ovum was aspirated and transferred into the growth medium and incubated for 16-17 hours. By this time the ovum was already fertilized with the appearance of 2 pronuclei. About 30 hrs, it normally developed into two-cell stage, 40-44 hrs, it cleavaged into 4-cell stage. After 72 hrs, the fertilized ovum grew into morula. Up to June, 1986 twentythree ova in vitro fertilized and cultured were transfered into 14 mothers, uteri at the four-cell stage. The details of fertilization and the early embryo development in vitro were described.

Metabolic studies were carried out on nine male infants to investigatethe digestibility and utilization of some of the nutrients of the Milk-substitute 5410, there by ascertaining whether those nutrients could satisfy their requirements. From the results of the chemical analyses of the foods and excreta of the infants, statistical treatment of the records on the fre- quency of defecation, the amount and form of the stools, and the growth rate of the infants, it was possible to evaluate the apparent energy utilization of the milk-substitute.The ages of the infants at the beginning of the experiment were 37-77 days, and 6-7 months at the end. The experiment was divided into five periods: in the first and second periods the infants were fed alternately with the milk-substitute and powdered whole milk diet; in the third and fourth periods the diets were the same as the first and second but supplemented with cod liver oil concentrate (sbout 1500 1. U. vitamin A and 500 I. U. vitamin D per day). In the fifth period the protein content of the milk-substitute was raised from 16.6% to 22.6%, supplemented also with cod liver oil. In periods when the infants were fed with the milk substitute alone, the number of defecation was significantly less and loose stools fewer than in the milk diet period. Introduction of cod liver oil tended to reduce the dry weight of the feces. When the milk-substitute with higher protein content was given, the number of defecation increased and occurence of diarrhea was more frequent but not more so than during the cow's milk powder period.From the statistical analyses of the results, it was found that the digestibility of protein and carbohydrate of the milk-substitute was significantly lower than that of cow's milk powder but that of fat was higher. Introduction of cod liver oil increased the digestibility of protein, fat, carbohydrate and crude fibre. There was no significant difference between the availability of energy of the milk-substitute and cow's milk powder, the former being 90.9% while the latter 91.7%.The growth curves of the nine infants showed that the higher the food intake, the higher the growth rate. The caloric intakes of eight infants were 100-120 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day and their growth rates were almost identical. The caloric intake of one infant was consistently below 100 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day and his growth rate was significantly lower. It may be concluded, therefore, that when the Milk-substitute 5410 is given to infants supplying 100-120 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day, would be adequate for normal growth.

Previous feeding experiments on infants have shown that the growth promoting effect of the milk-substitute 5410 was comparable to that of hu- man milk or a milk powder diet. In order to know more about the biochemical and physiological properties of this mixture, nine male infants were put in serial metabolic studies with respect to the digestion, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus utilization of this soybean product.The age of the infants were 37-77 days at the beginning of the experiment, and 6-7 months at the end. The infants were fed with the milk-substitute and a milk powder diet in alternative periods each of which lasted 2-4 weeks. In the first and second periods the infants were fed milk powder or milk-substitute alone, while in the third and forth periods the same diets were supplemented with concentrated cod liver oil, and in the fifth period the infants were fed with another soybean product similar to mixture 5410 but with higher protein content.The digestibility of protein and the absorption of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus of mixture 5410 were significantly lower than those of the milk powder diet. However, the nitrogen retention were the same during these two dietary periods (191 and 196 mg per kilo per day). The calcium and phosphorus retention were signigicantly lower during periods without cod liver oil (24 and 24 mg per kilo per day) but improved markedly after supplementation (58 and 36 mg per kilo per day).On the average, each infant received from the milk-substitute 4.3g of protein per kilo per day. The amount of calcium ingested was 850 mg per day; it seems to be that supplementation with cod liver oil is necessary for adequate calcium retention at this level of intake.Raising the protein content of the milk-substitute by further addition of soybean powder may increase the nitrogen retention, but it tends to lower the absorption and retention of calcium and phosphorus due to increased amount of fecal excretion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of hearing screening combined with gene screening for neonates with high-risk of hearing impairment.MethodsNeonates admitted to the Neonatal Department of Guangdong Women and Children Hospital between July 2013 and June 2014 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into high-risk group (with high-risk for hearing impairment) (n=3 129), and control group (n=5 106). Neonate hearing screening was carried out using otoacoustic emission and automated auditory brainstem response. Blood samples were collected using a standard protocol for detecting the mutations of four common deafness genes, includingGJB2,GJB3,SLC26A4 and mitochondrial 12s rRNA.Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of the pass rate of hearing screening and positive rate of gene mutations between the two groups.ResultsThe rates of failure on otoacoustic emission, automated auditory brainstem response or both in the high-risk group were 11.92% (373/3 129), 10.32% (323/3 129) and 4.83% (151/3 129), respectively, higher than those in the control group [5.03%(257/5 106), 6.56%(335/5 106) and 2.02% (103/5 106)] (χ2=130.265, 37.354 and 51.196, allP=0.000). In the high-risk group, the overall positive rate of gene mutations was 5.63% (176/3 129), and theGJB2 andSLC26A4 gene mutation rates were 3.04% (95/3 129) and 2.40% (75/3 129)], all higher than the control group [3.15% (161/5 106), 2.04% (104/5 106) and 1.06% (54/5106)] (χ2=30.301, 8.216 and 22.517, allP<0.01). But the mitochondria 12S rRNA gene andGJB3 gene mutation rates were the same in high-risk group and control group [0.19% (6/3 129) vs 0.06% (3/5 106); 0.03% (1/3 129) vs 0.00%(0/5 106), bothP>0.05]. The rates of failure on otoacoustic emission and automated auditory brainstem response of the neonates with deafness gene mutations were 9.50% (32/337) and 10.39% (35/337), respectively, higher than the neonates without [1.14% (90/7 898) and 1.29% (102/7 898)] (χ2=154.621 and 163.399, both P=0.000).ConclusionCombined hearing screening is of clinical significance for neonates with high-risk of hearing impairment.

BACKGROUND:Generaly, the stent surface modification, especialy seeding cels, may accelerate or cause stent endothelium, and cause restenosis for prevention of in-stent thrombosis.
OBJECTIVE: To develop the optimal conditions for vascular stents coated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels.
METHODS: Cerebrovascular stent was co-cultured with passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from rats at 1×106, 1×107, 1×108, and 1×109/L. Cels on the stents were examined with transmission electron
microscopy after 48 hours. A total of 160 male Sprague-Dawley rats were enroled, among which, 20 rats were as normal control group, and the remaining 140 were used for producing models of ischemic stroke that were
randomly sub-divided into seven groups at 8 weeks after modeling: stainless steel stent implanted group, polymer stent group, and different concentrations of cellstent composite groups. After 8 weeks of implantation, the
expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in these cels was examined by western blot assay. Rat platelet activation in different groups was determined by flow cytometry.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Implanted stem cels were able to grow adherently on the stainless steel stent wal. When the planting cellconcentration was 1×107 cels/L, the cels and organeles were morphologicaly
normal and covered the stent surface wel. These coated cels also expressed vascular endothelial growth factor, suggesting that they functioned as endothelial cels, and they also significantly lowered platelet activation. When
co-cultured with 1×107/L bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, the stent was covered wel with endothelial-like cels and had significant lower platelet activationin vivo.

Objective To investigate the natural head position and cervical posture in the patients with different vertical facial patterns with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship,and to clarify the relationships between vertical facial patterns and natural head position, cervical posture in the patients with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship. Methods 94 patients aged 8- 15 years old with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship were selected as the subjects.The subjects were classified into high angle group,average angle group,and low angle group according to their mandibular plane angles.The cephalometric radiographs in natural head position were taken,and the variables representing craniofacial morphology,head position,and craniocervical posture were measured.The intergroup differences in variables were compared.Results The inclinations of mandible to the true vertical and cervical column (ML/VER,ML/OPT,ML/CVT)were smallest in high angle group,and they were largest in low angle group (P <0.01);other variables representing head posture and craniocervical posture (NSL/VER,FH/VER,NSL/OPT,NL/OPT,NSL/CVT,FH/CVT)were largest in high angle group,and they were smallest in low angle group (P <0.05).The inclinations of ramus to cervical column (RL/OPT,RL/CVT)were largest in high angle group and they were smallest in low angle group (P <0.01).There were no significant differences in the inclinations of cervical column and cervical lordosis (OPT/HOR,CVT/HOR,OPT/CVT)among three groups (P >0.05). Conclusion The significant differences exist in natural head position and cervical posture among the patients with skeletal class Ⅰ relationship with different vertical facial patterns (high angle,average angle,low angle);the subjects with high angle show extended head position and cervical posture,while the subjects with low angle exhibit the opposite tendency.
