Objective:By cocculture with mesenchymal stem cells as feeder cells,we observe whether we can isolate and culture embryonic stem cells(ES cells)which maintain undifferentiated and multipotential. Methods :tissues and cell types were used in basical research to cure disease. The blastocysts of 3.5 d from Kunming species mice were collected and cultured on mesenchymal stem cells layers. The embryonic stem cell colonies were preliminarily identified by light microscope AKP staining and 0ct-4 staining in morphology and biological character. Results:The embryonic stem cell colonies by cocculture with mesenchymal stem cells as feeder cells were identified. The results showed that: 1. all the ES cells had its typical morphological characteristics such as nestlike colonies,round or elliptic,with clear edge and smooth surface,strong refraction ,significant swelling growth,compactness of cell aggragation and indistinction between two edges of neighbour cells within a colony,relatively bigger nuclear compared with little cytoplasm,i.e.,high ratio of the nuclear- cytoplasm; 2.after the AKP staining,all of the ES cells showed strong AKP activity as same as the ES cells of F0,and on the contrary,the embryonic fibroblast cells had no expression of AKP showing the lost of staining;3. after the Oct-4 staining,all of the ES cells showed strong Occt-4 activity. Conclusion:By cocculture with mesenchymal stem cells as cells,we can isolate and culture embryonic stem cells (ES cells) which maintain undifferentiated and multipotential.

Since the first paper reported the finding of genetic variation contributing to human age-related macular de?generation by genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 2005, large number of human complex diseases associated genetic variants have been identified through GWAS method. However, the biological function of these genetic variants is not very clear. The present paper reviewed the methods of fine-mapping and the progress of the functional studies for these suscepti?bility variants. In the post GWAS Era, the study of genetic mechanisms can help us to understand the disease pathogenesis.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of cellular inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), bcl-2 and p63 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods Using immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 in 30 cases of nodular goiter (NG), 30 cases of thyroid adenoma (TA) and 57 cases of PTC [including classical PTC (cPTC) 20 cases, papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) 20 cases, follicular thyroid papillary carcinoma (FPTC) 7 cases]. Results In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of CIP2A were 0, 0 and 94.74 % (54/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In NG group, TA group and PTC group, positive rates of bcl-2 were 16.67 % (5/30), 13.33 % (4/30) and 85.96 % (49/57), respectively. The differences were statistically significant. In each group, positive rates of p63 were 6.67% (2/30), 3.33% (1/30) and 5.26% (3/57), respectively, no significant difference among them. In PTC, expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 were significantly higher than in NG and TA (χ2 = 105.56, P= 0.00; χ2 = 58.95, P= 0.00). Furthermore, the expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 had correlation in PTC (r=0.94, P=0.00). The expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 had no significantly difference among all the PTC subtype (χ2 values were 2.02, 2.64, 1.85; all P> 0.05). The expression of CIP2A, bcl-2 and p63 was not associated with patients'age, sex, site, lymph node metastasis (all P>0.05). Conclusions High expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 is associated with PTC, and the expression of CIP2A and bcl-2 has correlation in PTC. The expression of p63 has no correlation with PTC.

Objective To determine the expressions of miR-200a, miR-141, miR-205 and miR-34a in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) samples and to explore their clinical significance. Methods According to FIGO staging, 44 EOC pa?tients were divided into two groups:early FIGO stage (stageⅠ-Ⅱ, n=15) and late FIGO stage (stageⅢ-Ⅳ, n=29). Expres?sions of 4 miRNAs were detected by real time quantitative PCR, and were compared between two groups. The correlation of 4 miRNAs was calculated. EOC patients were divided into high miRNA expression group and low expression group according to the median value of miRNAs expression. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox multivariate analysis were used to com?pare the age, FIGO state, tumor residual after operation and post-operative chemotherapy of ovarian cancer between two groups. Results The expression of miR-141 was elevated in stagesⅢandⅣcompared with that of stagesⅠand Ⅱ(P=0.036). There was a positive correlation between expression of miR-141, miR-200a and miR-205, but a negative correlation with miR-34a (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between miR-200a and miR-205 (P<0.05). Lower miR-200a ex?pression was associated with shorter progress free survival in ovarian cancer analyzed by log-rank test ( P=0.035). The sur?vival rate was significantly higher in FIGO stages ⅠandⅡthan that of FIGO stagesⅢandⅣ(P<0.05). Cox regression analysis revealed that miR-200a, FIGO stage and age were influential factors of overall survival time and progress-free sur?vival time of ovarian cancer, while miR-141, miR-205, miR-34a and tumor residual after operation and post-operative che?motherapy were not influential factors. Conclusion The expression of miR-200a is closely correlated with the progress and prognosis of ovarian cancer and may be used as an independent indicator for ovarian cancer prognosis.

Objective To detect the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and bcl-2 ovarian serous carcinoma and their clinical significances. Methods Paraffin specimens including 61 cases of ovarian serous carcinoma and 50 normal ovarian tissues were selected. The expressions of HIF-1α and bcl-2 proteins were detected by immunohistochemical EnVision method and their relationship between them was analyzed. Results The positive rate of HIF-1α and bcl-2 proteins expression in 61 ovarian serous carcinoma was 68.9%and 54.1%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=55.381, P< 0.05; χ2= 38.493, P< 0.05). The clinical pathological parameters showed that the positive expression of HIF-1αand bcl-2 proteins were not related with the age (P>0.05). HIF-1αpositive expression was correlated with tumor grades, the state of lymph node metastasis and FIGO stages (χ2=4.931, 25.008, 5.610, P<0.05). Bcl-2 was significantly associated with tumor grades and lymph node metastasis (χ2= 6.956, 33.869, P<0.05), but not with FIGO stages (χ2=3.391, P>0.05). The expression of bcl-2 was positively correlated with HIF-1α in ovarian serous carcinoma (r= 0.304, P= 0.017). Conclusions The expressions of HIF-1α and bcl-2 play a synergic role in the progression of ovarian serous carcinoma. The combined detection of HIF-1αand bcl-2 is effective for patients'prognosis judgment.
