To monitor the trans-differentiation from adult stem cells to germ cells, we analyzed the vasa expression of goat testicular tissues in different ages and constructed the germ cell specific reporting vector pVASA-EGFP. The expression of vasa was verified by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence. The vector pVASA-EGFP was constructed by molecular technology, then transfected into goat bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by Lipofectamine 2000. Moreover, we observed the expression of the vector through green fluorescent protein (GFP). Immunofluorescence results show that Vasa was expressed in all groups of goat testicular tissues, RT-PCR results show that the levels of vasa mRNA in 3-month group and 10-month group were significantly higher than that in 10-day group. Sequencing and restriction enzyme results show that the vector was successfully constructed. After transfection and RA treatment, GFP expression was observed, which proved the validity of our reporting system. All the results proved that vasa was expressed in different ages in goat testicular tissues, and the vector pVASA-EGFP is efficient in monitoring the trans-differentiation in vitro, which paves the way for further characterization and screening of the trans-differentiation of goat BMSCs.

Objective To study the influence of breast-feeding on the common neonatal comorbidities of very low birth weight (ELBW) infants.Method A retrospective study was conducted in our hospital from July 2014 to September 2015.The ELBW infants with birth weight between 1 000 g and 1 500 g were enrolled into the study.The infants were assigned into three groups according to human milk intake during hospitalization:high-volume breast feeding group (the high-volume group) (human milk equal to or greater than 75％),small-volume breast feeding group (the small-volume group) (human milk less than 75％) and premature formula group (the formula group) (exclusive formula fed during hospitalization).The general status,weight gain,the incidences of gastrointestinal dysfunction,neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC),late onset sepsis,premature retinopathy (ROP),bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) during hospitalization were compared between the three groups.Logistic regression analysis was applied.Result A total of 210 cases were included in the study.32 cases in the high-volume group,73 cases in the small-volume group and 105 in the formula group.The incidence of NEC (Bell's stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ) in the high-volume group was significantly lower than the small-volume group and the formula group (6.3％ vs.24.7％,26.7％) (P ＜ 0.05).No statistical differences existed as for the incidences of gastrointestinal dysfunction,sepsis,ROP,BPD,and PVL (P ＞0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of survival without NEC in the highvolume group were 0.183 compared with the formula group and 0.204 compared with the small-volume group;and the 95％ confidence interval were 0.041 ～0.818,0.044 ～ 0.938 respectively.No statistically significant differences existed among the three groups in the growth rate of body weight,the time needed to regain birth weight,the time needed to reach total enteral nutrition and the length of hospital stay (P ＞0.05).Conclusion High-volume breast milk intake can reduce the incidence of NEC (Bell's stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ).Breast-feeding has little adverse effects on common comorbidities of ELBW infants.Enhanced breastfeeding has similar efficacy comparing with formula feeding in the catch-up growth.

The amounts of iron and amino acids in dried pig powder were determined. It contained a large quantity of iron (230-260m/100g) and all essential amino acids. The blood fortified wheat flour biscuit containing 15mg Fe/100g was made and 30?2g of the biscuit was given to 65 primary school students (age 8-10) per capita per day during school day break for 40 days from Sep to Oct in 1984. For the control group, equal amount of the same biscuit without blood fortification was given to 34 subjects of the same age. Finger blood was taken for determination of hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC count and serum ferritin before and after the experiment.there were significant differences (P

Sixty gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery during October 2010 to June 2011were randomly divided into 2 groups:laryngeal mask airway proseal ( PLMA group,n =30 ) and laryngeal mask airway classic (CLMA group,n =30).Laryngeal mask was inserted after induction.The heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),airway sealing pressure,the average time of placement,the pulmonary satisfaction and complications were recorded.There was no significant difference in heart rate and MAP between the two groups(P＞0.05).The airway sealing pressure [ (26 ±6) cm H2O ( 1cm H2O =0.098 kPa) vs.(16±5) cm H2O],the average time of placement [(36±5) vs.(24±6) s)] and the excellent lung ventilation(90％ vs.73％ ) in the PLMA group were more significantly increased than those in the CLMA group(P ＜0.05).PLMA can assure good airway sealing and is more suitable for gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
