Objective To establish a system in which mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) differentiate into insulin-secreting cells in vitro. Methods mESCs were cultured to form embryoid bodies(EBs). EBs were cultured in serum-free medium to obtain nestin-positive cells. The selected nestin-positive cells were expanded,then added nicotinamide into the medium to induce the differentiation of nestin-positive cells. Immunochemistry staining and flow cytometry analysis were made on 15th day after induction.Results Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the percentage of nestin-positive cells were different from EBs. The percentage of nestin-positive cells from EBs were higher than those of other diameters. Nestin-positive cells induced by nicotinamide formed islet-like cell clusters. Percentage of insulin-positive cell induced by 10 mmol/L nicotinamide was higher than those induced by 0 mmol/L or 5 mmol/L nicotinamide(P

Objective:To establish a GC-MS method for the simultaneous determination of 16 phthalate ester plasticizers in oral liquid preparations, compare the purification effect of liquid preparations by liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction and opti-mize the operating parameters to determine the optimal experimental conditions. Methods:The samples were operated by liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction, respectively. Selective ion monitor ( SIM) was adopt, phthalate esters were identified by the rela-tive abundance of major characteristic ions and the content was determined by an external standard method. Results:When the samples were operated by liquid-liquid extraction, the interference was strong with many impurity peaks. Therefore, the solid phase extraction was adopted for the sample pretreatment. GC-MS was used to detect the residues of 16 phthalate ester plasticizers in oral liquid prepara-tions. The detection limit was 0. 02μg·g-1 ,while the calibration curve showed good linearity within the range of 0. 25-8. 0μg·ml-1 with the correlation coefficient between 0. 990 7 and 0. 999 8. The average recoveries were 76. 0%-95. 4%. The relative standard devi-ations were between 2. 3% and 9. 6%(n=6). Conclusion: Pretreated by solid phase extraction, the residues of 16 phthalate ester plasticizers in oral liquid preparations can be detected by GC-MS with the properties of simple, fast, precise and sensitive, and it is suitable for the determination of phthalate esters in oral liquid preparations.

BACKGROUND: Umbilical cord blood (UCB) with limited karyocytes is mainly used in child patients. Recently, physicians have tried to mix two units of cord blood in the treatment of adults with hematological system diseases.OBJECTIVE: To monitor quantitatively the dynamic changes and the development rules of engraftment, chimera types and relative amount after allogeneic transplantation of mixed UCB from two units in adults with leukemia.DESIGN: Donors and the recipient were regarded as observational subjects in umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT). DNA extracted from blood samples of donors and the recipient before and after transplantation was considered as detecting samples. Short tandem repeat (STR) loci were as observational measures.SETTING: Key Laboratory of Immunology and Genetics of Institute of Transfusion Medicine of Shenzhen Blood Center.PARTICIPANT: A 43-year male patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 75 kg, who was hospitalized at Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University, was enrolled in June 2005. The patient received two units of human leucocyte antigen (HLA), one locus mismatched unrelated UCBT (2.5×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 1, and 1.53×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 2) at month 6 after complete remission from first chemotherapy. UCB was collected from Guangzhou umbilical cord blood bank. The patient signed the informed consent.METHODS: The adult with AML received two units of HLA, one locus mismatched unrelated UCBT (2.5×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 1, and 1.53×107 kg-1 karyocytes in UCB 2). Nine STR loci of the blood sample were determined before and after transplantation by quantitative technique of fluorescence labeling with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (MPCR), while the engraftment and chimera types were qualitatively evaluated by comparing differential loci between the recipient and the donors. The relative amount of two units of UCB was calculated in the patient after transplantation according to the differential gene peak areas of two donors with 377XL DNA sequencer after fluorescence scanning. The engraftment level and the development rules of donors' cells were analyzed quantitatively. In addition, the results were also compared with that of HLA loci distinct analysis for engraftment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After UCBT, transition process of nine STR loci of the recipient and two donors was observed, and engraftment was quantitatively and qualitatively described.RESULTS: Two units of UCB at day 15 after transplantation were engrafted simultaneously and revealed a complete chimera of the two. The relative amounts of UCB 1 and UCB 2 were 51.3% and 48.7%, respectively. Subsequently, UCB 1 went up to 70.0% and UCB 2 declined to 30.0% at day 30. However, only the genotype of UCB 1 was detected at day 52, and engraftment turned to a complete chimera of a single donor. The one with fewer karyocytes was rejected and the one with more karyocytes was engrafted for a long term.CONCLUSION: To detect quantitatively STR chimera with fluorescence labeling and MPCR can show precisely the engraftment level and the change of two units of UCB. It provides an accurate and reliable experimental basis for clinical UCB application and donor selection. It is proved that adult transplantation at the same time with mixed UCB from two units HLA one locus mismatched unrelated donors is feasible.
