BACKGROUND:At present, the development of reprogramming technology provides a wide prospect for stem cellresearch. Through the ectopic co-expression of reprogramming factors, the somatic cells can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state, termed as induced pluripotent stem cells, which can avoid the ethical controversy faced in the research and application of embryonic stem cells. Also, we can generate patient-specific and disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells, which significantly decrease immuno-rejection. However, reprogramming technology faces some chal enges, such as low efficiency and safety.
OBJECTIVE:Based on the characteristics of induced pluripotent stem cells and the principles of reprogramming, to detail the progress in reprogramming technology from five aspects, including cellresources, carriers, transcription factors, microRNA and signal transduction pathway.
METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval was performed to search papers published form January 1990 to April 2013 in VIP periodical ful-text database, Wanfang periodical ful-text database, CNKI periodical ful-text database, PubMed database and Springer database with key words of“reprogramming, induced pluripotent stem cell, signal transduction pathway, epigenetics, microRNA, transcription factor, vector, somatic cell, smal molecule compound, safety”both in Chinese and English. After excluding objective-independent papers, 67 papers were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By exploring different cellresources, different carriers, various combination of transcription factors, microRNAs or inhibition of the signal transduction pathways, the reprogramming efficiency and safety have been improved greatly. However, currently, induced pluripotent stem cells stil could not meet the requirement of clinical application. To achieve the clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cells, it is urgent to explore the mechanism of reprogramming, and to optimize the programming strategy.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(02):-
With the transformation of marketization of economy and legislation of society in recent 20 years in China,the traditional mechanism in which medical therapy is decided by patients' relatives and doctors has not been able to offer sufficient protection for the legal rights of patients.So the rights of informed consent and decision making have been transferred passively to the patients' side.But in the field of assisted reproduction technique(ART),informed consent has to face some specific and unique problems.Firstly,being fully informed is sharply against the privacy of his(her) spouse as reproduction involved both the couple and their families.Secondly,it is a question that whether a wife can make her freewill choice when she accepts an ART program,because of the pressures coming from her family,the society,and her low social status well.And thirdly,The ART has the characteristics of both clinical therapy and scientific research as it is imperfect and its protocols still need to be improved.Ethicists should focus on thiese challenges.In the aspect of ethics,the regulations established by government and occupational association are the safeguard of the commonweal of society and general rights and benefits,and the ethics review and informed consent offered the final protection for the patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydroxycam ptothecine on PS2 and COX-2 in nude mice by human bile duct carcinoma QBC939 cells in order to analyze the correlation between PS2 and COX-2 expressions and the development of the tumor.Methods After the model of the transplanted tumor of subcutaneous tissues located the nude mice was constructed by human bile duct carcinoma QBC939 cells,30 nude mice were randomly divided into 3 groups,namely,control group,hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group.The growth of the transplanted tumor was observed and immunohistochemical staining combined with image analysis was used to determine the expression of PS2 and COX-2 in the tumor tissues.Results Compared with that of the control group,the content of PS2 in the tumor tissues was increased in hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group.The content of COX-2 was decreased and the growth of the transplanted tumor was inhibited in both hydroxycamptothecine low-dose group and high-dose group(P

AIM:To observe the effect of Jianwei Yuyang Granule(Radix Bupleuri,Radix Codonopsis,Rhizoma Atractylodis macrocephalae,Rhizoma Corydalis,etc.) on the expressions of PS_2 and platelet activating factor(PAF) of helicobacterpylori-associated gastritis and study the potential mechanisim. METHODS:80 cases were divided into two groups.Jianwei Yuyang Granule group(42 cases) was given Jianwei Yuyang Granule and the control group(38 cases) was given three kinds of western medicines combined.H.pylori was detected by urease test on biopsy specimen of gastric mucosa and Warthin-Starry method and the changes of expressions of PS_2 and platelet activating factor(PAF) were observed.The contents of aninohexose and phosphatide in gastric mucosa were determined at the same time.All patients were rechecked gastroscope in the 6th week. RESULTS:The total effect rate of Jian-wei Yuyang group was higher than that of the control group(P

AIM:To investigate the therapeutical effect of Geranium sibirium extract on the patients with low rectal carcinoma,reserving anus reducing complication and increasing survival rate. METHODS:The treatments included extrasomatic radiotherapy near to tumor,intracavity and extracavity microwave diathermy as well as oral administration of Geranium sibirium extract.All the 30 patients were treated. RESULTS:The four-year follow -up showed that except 4 cases had local recurrence and 5 cases had distant metastasis,four-year survival rate and tumor -free survival rate were 86.7%(26/30) and 83%(25/30),respectively. CONCLUSION:With general treatment and low dose radiotherapy ,the therapeutics of reserving anus in low rectal carcinoma may increase survival quality ,reduce complication and recurrence rate.

To study the level of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in serum and the expression of MIF mRNA in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue,and to investigate its impact on insulin resistance and islet β-cell dysfunction in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).120 pregnancy women from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College and Taian Central Hospital were enrolled,including 60 GDM women and 60 women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT).The serum MIF in GDM group was higher than that of NGT group [(3.58±1.02 vs 1.23±0.62) ng/ml,P<0.01].Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that body mass index was an independent affective factor of the serum levels of MIF (r2 =0.516).The serum levels of MIF and the expressions of MIF mRNA in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue were significantly higher in GDM group than NGT group.MIF may contribute to insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction in GDM.Body mass index seems to be an independent factor in affecting the serum levels of MIF.

Objective To explore the clinical value of interferon gamma release assays in early childhood diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection.Methods 33 patients with suspected latent tuberculosis infection and 35 patients with active tuberculosis infection in our hospital from January 2012 to March 2013 were selected.During the same period selected 30 healthy children as a control group.Respectively were given sputum smear analysis,tuberculin skin test (TST)and vinterferon release assay (IGRA).Compare the positive rate of different methods. Results In suspected latent tuberculosis group,IGRA test results were significantly higher than TST and sputum smear method(P<0.05);in active tuberculosis infection group, IGRA test results were significantly higher than TST and sputum smear(P<0.05 );in healthy control group,TST test results were higher than the IGRA,it is because of patients had been vaccinated with BCG.Conclusion IGRA can be used as one way to diagnosis the latent tuberculosis infection.
