BACKGROUND:Human embryonic stem cels are able to self-renew indefinitely and have the capacity to differentiate into al three germ layers (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm). These properties imply great potential in the basic research and clinical application, including regenerative medicine, drug screening and toxins, early human embryo, cel transplantation, gene therapy,etc. However, it is a substantial chalenge to develop efficient techniques for their large-scale culture under defined conditions, and for controling and directing their differentiation. For therapeutic purposes, many scholars are trying to establish methods for maintaining pluripotency in defined xeno-free conditions and scalable culture systems. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the progress of serum-free culture systems in human embryonic stem cel research reported in recent years and to highlight the chalenges and advances being made towards the development of serum-free and xeno-free culture systems suitable for therapeutic applications. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed academic database was performed for articles addressing serum-free culture systems of human embryonic stem cels published from 2008 to 2015. Repetitive and old articles were excluded. Finaly, 58 articles were summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Several groups have attempted to exclude individual animal components by using feeder-free matrices, feeder cels of human origin, or defined xeno-free media, aiming to select a suitable matrix and medium that can minimize or not use heterologous components, in order to obtain cel lines at clinical level. However, the current cel products are far from clinical application. There are stil many problems to be solved, such as standardization, normalization and individualization of cel products. With the normative development of stem cel research and industry, human embryonic stem cel products are expected to be widely used in clinic.

In order to find an easy and rapid quantitative analytical method to detect rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, three methods, H_ 2 SO_ 4 -anthrone analysis method, L-cysteine-H_ 2 SO_ 4 method and phenol-H_ 2 SO_ 4 method, were compared in the present paper, and the influence factors were also considered.The results showed that H_ 2 SO_ 4 -Anthrone analysis method was better than the others and its optimal reaction condition was obtained.The influence to the quantitative analysis of rhamnolipid from the residual glucose and the top clean liquid layer in the ferment solution could be ignored.But the influence from the bacterial body and the middle layer of the ferment solution reached a certain degree.Thus, the bacterial body should be removed before measuring.However, the influence from the middle layer of the ferment solution could be avoided by making a standard curve which was made by using a rhamnose mixed with the middle layer ferment solution.

The complex production processes and long industrial chain in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) market result in difficulty in Chinese market microstructure research. Based on the defining the logical relationships among different concepts. This paper divides TCM market into two stages as Chinese materia medica resource market and traditional Chinese Patent Medicines market. Under this foundation, we investigated the supply capacity, approaching rules and motivation system of suppliers in TCM market, analyzed the demand situation in the perspective of demand side, and evaluated the purchasing power in terms of population profile, income, and insurance. Furthermore we also analyzed the price formation mechanism in two stages of TCM market. We hope this study can make a positive and promotion effect on TCM market related research.

Objective To analyze the expression of Yes-associated protein and risk factors in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 152 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and 27 cases of benign thyroid tumor from Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture People’s Hospital of Xinjiang, were analyzed retrospectively. According to the expression levels of Yes-associated protein in differentiated thyroid cancer and benign thyroid tumor, univariate Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the relationship between Yes-associated protein and gender, age, thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) level, nodule size, capsule integrity, histological type and lymph node metastasis, in order to find out risk factors in differentiated thyroid cancer. Results The positive rate of expressed Yes-associated protein in benign thyroid tumor group was 66.7%(18/27), which was significantly higher than 31.58%(48/152) of differentiated thyroid cancer group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=12.127, P<0.01). Under an optical microscope, changes of Yes-associated protein were found to be mainly located in the nucleus and cytoplasm , and in benign thyriod tumor the degree of staining was deep, strong positive or moderately positive; differentiated thyroid carcinoma was lightly stained or no staining, weakly positive or negative. Chi-square test showed that the expression of Yes-associated protein was not affected by sex, age and pathological type(χ2= 0.419, 0.221, 0.315, all P >0.05); TSH level, nodule size, capsule integrity, lymph node metastasis had an impact on the expression of Yes-associated protein which was down regulated (χ2=4.020, 8.424, 4.386, 6.673, P<0.05 or<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the nodule size was not a risk factor ( odds ratio , OR ) of Yes-associated protein expression (OR=1.929, P>0.05); TSH levels above 4.5 mU/L, lymph node metastasis and envelope incomplete were risk factors that down regulated the expression of Yes-associated protein (OR=2.167, 2.665, 3.048, all P<0.05). Conclusion Yes-associated protein is down regulated in differentiated thyroid cancer. Elevated TSH levels , incomplete capsule and lymph node metastasis are risk factors of Yes-associated protein down expression and differentiated thyroid cancer.
