Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be propagated indefinitely, while maintaining the capacity to differentiate into all cell types in the body except for the extra-embryonic tissues. This iPSC technology not only represents a new way to use individual-specific stem cells for regenerative medicine but also constitutes a novel method to obtain large numbers of disease-specific cells for biomedical research. However, the low efficiency of reprogramming and genomic integration of oncogenes and viral vectors limit the potential application of iPSCs. Chemical-induced reprogramming offers a novel approach to generating iPSCs. In this study, a new combination of small-molecule compounds (SMs) (sodium butyrate, A-83-01, CHIR99021, Y-27632) under conditions of transient folate deprivation was used to generate iPSC. It was found that transient folate deprivation combined with SMs was sufficient to permit reprogramming from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) in the presence of transcription factors, Oct4 and Klf4, within 25 days, replacing Sox2 and c-Myc, and accelerated the generation of mouse iPSCs. The resulting cell lines resembled mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells with respect to proliferation rate, morphology, pluripotency-associated markers and gene expressions. Deprivation of folic acid, combined with treating MEFs with SMs, can improve the inducing efficiency of iPSCs and reduce their carcinogenicity and the use of exogenous reprogramming factors.

Objective To evaluate the influence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on maternal and perinatal outcomes in twin pregnancies. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of both twin and singleton pregnancies, which delivered in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013. The twin pregnancies were divided into two groups:those with (GDM-T, n=51) and without GDM (non-GDM-T, n=130), which were matched by maternal age and delivery time (within one month) in a ratio of 1∶2 among singleton pregnancies with (GDM-S, n=102) and without GDM (non-GDM-S, n=102), respectively. The differences of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes among these four groups were examined. The overall assessment of pregnancy outcomes was completed using Delphi method. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way analysis of variance, t test, Kruskal-Wallis test, rank test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Results (1) When compared to GDM-S and non-GDM-S group respectively, less women conceived with the help of assisted reproductive technology, higher proportion of women underwent and gestational age at delivery tend to be earlier in GDM-T and non-GDM-T group (all P<0.01). In oral glucose tolerance test,the fasting blood glucose level of GDM-T group was higher than the other three groups (F=21.716, P<0.01), the glucose levels at 1 and 2 h were higher than non-GDM-T and non-GDM-s respectively (both P<0.01), but no significant difference was found when compared with GDM-S group (P>0.01). Similarly, no significant difference was found in prenatal glycosylated hemoglobin value between GDM-T and GDM-S group (P>0.01). (2) There was no significant difference in the incidences of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, anemia, premature rupture of membranes, oligohydramnios, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, asphyxia neonatorum, small for gestational age, hypoglycemia of newborn, hyperbilirubinemia of newborn and perinatal death between GDM-T group and the other three groups(all P>0.01). Higher incidences of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and postpartum hemorrhage were shown in the GDM-T group than in the GDM-S and non-GDM-S groups, respectively (both P<0.01). The incidences of preterm birth in GDM-T and non-GDM-T group were both higher than that in GDM-S and non-GDM-S, respectively [54.9%(66/102), 53.8%(140/260), 5.0%(10/102) and 3.0%(6/102), all P<0.01], while no significant difference was found between GDM-T and non-GDM-T group (P>0.01). (3) The overall assessment of pregnancy outcomes did not show any difference between GDM-T group and the other three groups (χ2=6.707, P>0.01). However, the score for fetal outcomes in the GDM-T group was higher than in the GDM-S and non-GDM-S group, but lower than in non-GDM-T group [M(Q)=1.0(2.3), 0.0(3.0), 0.0(0.0), 1.0(2.8) score, χ2=122.818, P<0.01]. Conclusions GDM does not increase the risk of adverse pregnant outcomes in twin pregnancies.

ObjectiveTo explore the histopathological changes of bile duct,liver and local tissue for injurious biliary stricture(IBS). MethodTo observe the morphological and pathological changes of bile duct, local tissue and liver in different periods with dogs as the established animal model for IBS. ResultBile duct obstruction due to injury can expand the proximal bile duct up to 18.91 ±1.85 mm as the pressure goes up. Damage to local tissue triggers acute inflammation. In early injury phase (within 10 d), inflammatory cell infiltration and proliferation appears on the wall of the duct with increased mucosal edema as well as thickening of the biliary ductile wall. In the late injury phase (15 d), the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells, edema and mucosal thickness were reduced whereas fibroblast and collagen tissue were proliferated extensively. The wall of biliary duct also becomes fibrotic and thickens. Quantitative analysis of the inflammatory edema shows the most severe outcome on the 5th day (HE staining WBC count of 54.2±5.8 unit) and its severity progressively subsides on the 15th day. (HE staining WBC count of 41.7±7.2 vs 54.2±5.8 a, P<0.0,5). In the early obstruction (5 d and 10 d), the liver cells showed mild to moderate swelling and its degeneration is often associated with steatosis and sinusoidal expansion and congestion. As the obstruction time increases in the 20 d and 30 d group, liver cells starts to show extensive vacuolation and sinusoidal occlusion. ConclusionsEarly phase (5 days) of acute bile duct obstruction due to injury shows rapid expansion of the bile duct, edema in the bile duct itself as well as its surrounding tissue and liver damage. After 15 days, the local inflammatory edema is greatly reduced and is replaced by hyperplasia of fibers and collagen. Liver damage appears to be irreversible after 20 days. Considering local environmental and systemic conditions, the optimal time frame to repair obstruction of bile duct surgically is between 10-20 days.

Objective To explore the optimal timing of operation for experimental obstructive jaundice in a dog model. Method A dog model of bile duct stricture (BDS) was established. Dogs were divided into (n = 12 in each group) 6 groups, ie control, BDS days 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30. In each dog,the morphology and local histopathology of the bile duct, and the liver function in different periods were observed. At the time of surgery biopsy was taken and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy performed. Surgical complications and survival were evaluated. Result After bile duct obstruction, the proximal bile duct dilated continuously. The diameter of bile duct was 15.6 ± 1.7 mm at the 10th day. The injury bile ductshowed the acute inflammation change. In the early time (in 10 days), inflammatory cells increased in the tissues, mucous edema aggravated, the wall was edematous thickening, it was most severe ( WBC counting 54 ±6) in the 5th day. In the later period (10 -30 days), inflammatory cells reduced, bile duct wall became fibrosis, which was most obvious in the 15th day (42 ± 7 vs 54 ± 6, P < 0.05 ). During the development of jaundice, serum bilirubin reached the highest level in the early period ( BDS days 5 group),then presented a platform time, and then rised extremely at the last stage of the experiment ( BDS day 30 group) . Changes of ALT and AST paralleled that of bilirubin before the 20th day of obstruction and then plummeted. BDS was repaired successfully in 57 dogs. Ten dogs died postoperatively due to bile leakage within 10 days, 3 dogs in BDS days 5 group (3/11), 4 in BDS days 10 group (4/12), one each in other groups. Postoperatively 13 BDS dogs died of malnutrition and organ failure within 3 months, including one each in days 5 and days 10 group, two each in days 15 and days 20 group, and 7 in days 30 group (P<0. 05). Conclusion Considering the changes of morphology, physical function and result of follow up.The period between 10 and 20 days after acute bile duct injury is optimal for surgical repair.
