Objective To introduce operative skill of liver resection by blocking hilum of liver under normal temperature.Method Retrospective analysis of experience treating 86 cases of liver cancer with the operation.Result Among 86 cases of hepatic malignant tumor,there were not serious complications such as death,massive haemorrhage etc.during operation;postoperative liver failure occurred in 7 cases,among them,cure 5 cases and 2 cases of death.The incision infection occurred in 5 patients;The thorax dropsy occurred in 19 cases, which was absorbed by oneself after treating in 14 cases,cured by puncture occurred in 5 cases.Conclusion Operative skill of blocking hilum of liver under normal temperature is more ideal means in treating the liver cancer.

BACKGROUND: Induced pluripotent stem cells are a type of reprogrammed cells with similar characteristics to embryonic stem cells, which are capable of differentiating into phenotypes associated with patient specific diseases. Moreover, their clinical application avoids ethical issues. OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of induced pluripotent stem cells in myocardial regeneration and repair, cardiovascular disease models, drug development and screening, and drug toxicity testing. METHODS: PubMed (2006-2018) and CNKI (2013-2018) databases were retrieved for relevant articles using the keywords of "induction of pluripotent stem cells; myocardial infarction; arrhythmia; cardiovascular disease; heart failure; heart transplantation; disease model; drug toxicity" in English and Chinese, respectively. The data were reviewed one by one, and the citations involved in the literatures were also reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Induced pluripotent stem cells have great potential value in myocardial regeneration and repair, establishment of cardiovascular disease models, new drug development and screening, and drug toxicity detection. The application prospect of the cells is broad, but most of the research is still in the experimental stage. In addition, safety problems, such as low induction efficiency and tumorigenicity, will limit the clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cells.

By bioinformatics analysis, a putative keratinase gene gm2886 (Accession number: KY368946) was discovered in the genome of a feather-degrading strain, Streptomyces albidoflavus Fea-10. gm2886 was ligated into integrative Escherichia coli-Streptomyces shuttle vector pSET152 under the promoter PermE and added with C-terminal His-tag. The expression vector was transformed into Streptomyces pactum ACT12 by conjugal transfer and the recombinant protein GM2886-His6 was detected in fermentation broth. GM2886-His6 was purified and characterized. Its size was nearly 36 kDa. GM2886-His6 showed proteolytic activity towards a variety of substrates and could even degrade insoluble substrates, such as azure keratin and chicken feathers. The optimal pH and temperature of GM2886-His6 for proteolysis of casein was pH 10.0 and 50 ℃, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by PMSF, but not EDTA, indicating that GM2886-His6 was a serine proteinase. Our results laid the foundation for the research of the molecular biological mechanism on feather-degrading and for the further utilization of Fea-10.
