Sal-like protein 4 (SALL4), a newly discovered oncogenes, plays an important role in the formation of embryo, maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency and self-renewal. SALL4 not only has a close relationship with hereditary disease, benign disease, malignant tumor, blood system tumor and germ cell tumors, but also chemoresistance and poor prognosis. SALL4 obtains biological functions by adjusting different signaling pathways, transcription factors and epigenetic modulation. Further mechanism study of SALL4 and its relationship with various diseases will provide new opportunities for the treatment of diseases.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of stereopsis and ocular position changes before and after intermittent exotropia sur-gery. Methods A total of 70 cases diagnosed with intermittent exotropia(squint angle>15△and<85△)and treated in the Department of Ophthal-mology,the First Hospital of China Medical University from January 2010 to December 2014,were enrolled for the study. Operation methods was designed according to the pre-operative apparent distant strabismus ,and operations should be taken on the non-dominant eyes to lateral rectus re-cession combined with medial rectus shortening or lateral rectus recession. Patients were divided into different groups according to age ,age of exo-tropia onset,the angle of squint. The outcomes included best corrected visual acuity of eyes,refractive status,stereopsis,squint angle position of eye with intermittent exotropia after surgery. Results Compared with preoperative status,the stereopsis symptom was significantly improved after surgery(P<0.05). Stereopsis recovery and orthophoric rate were significantly increased according to the surgery age in children below 9 years old compared with those over 9 years old(P<0.05). Compared with the group of age≤9 years old,the rate of recovery of stereopsis and the rate of or-thophoria were not statistically significant(P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the recovery rate of stereopsis and the orthostatic rate of eyes between the groups of 45△and more than 45△. Conclusion Intermittent exotropia surgery can effectively improve the stereopsis and eye po-sition,and the outcomes of surgery are related to the age of surgery. The recovery rate of stereopsis is higher in the patients with intermittent exotro-pia during the visual development period. Regardless of the size of the angle of squint ,early surgery is benefit to the recovery of stereopsis.

PXR, CAR and PPAR, widely distributed in the body, are important members of the nuclear receptors (NRs) family. The activities and gene expressions of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and transporters can be regulated by the activation of NRs, which effect the drug disposition. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is the leading cause of failure in cancer therapy. NRs, including PXR, CAR and PPAR, were shown to regulate the expressions of DMEs and transporters involved in the drug metabolism and clearance, suggesting that the modulation of NRs can be considered as a new target to overcome MDR. This review described the research progress of NR family members PXR, CAR, PPAR and their transcriptional activation mechanism, the regulation of DMEs and transporters by NRs, which may provide a valuable reference for clinical medication and overcome of MDR.

Objective Through analysis the amount and the types for the bacterial in the conjunctival sac between the warm meibomian gland massage and routine preoperative preparation for the inner eye operations,to compare the bacterial state before and after the nursing intervention,as to analysis of preoperative administration of the routine preoperative preparation on the effectiveness of prevention of postoperative intraocular inflammation,and so on peri operation period nursing intervention is effective in reducing or preventing endophthalmitis.Methods 40 patients(40 eyes) undergoing eye operation during March to December of 2013 in our hospital,they were divided into the experimental group and the control group,with preoperative warm meibomian gland massage the experimental group based in the implementation of internal eye operation on routine preparation.Based on all the patients in group (V1),on the morning of surgery (V2) before operation,after disinfection(V3),before the end of operation(V4),after the next morning(V5) and after 1 weeks of operation (V6) of the 5 conjunctival sac sampling cultured conjunctival sac fungi and bacteria population analysis.Results Two groups of cultured conjunctival sac and there were significant differences between the V1 and V6 for both groups in the amount and the tapes of the bacterial.Conclusions The inner eye operation patients with warm meibomian gland massage can effectively reduce or inhibit the bacterial amount after operation in the conjunctival sac,effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative endophthalmitis of hidden dangers,this procedure should be schduled in the standerand SOP for the peri--operative preparation for the inner eye operations.

Objective To identify potential candidate genes related to the cancerous phenotype by analyzing databases publicly available. Methods Using a data-mining tool called Digital Differential Display (DDD) from the Cancer Gene Anatomy Project database, ESTs from 17 different tumor types were analyzed for differential expression. Results We obtained 130 up-regulated and 159 down-regulated genes, most of which are related to cytoskeleton, ribosomal subunit, substance metabolism, cell cycle, signal conduction, transcription and translation. These genes appear most frequently on chromosome 12 but rarely on chromosome 21 and Y. Conclusion In silico identification is a high-throughput screening strategy. Our study may lay a foundation for identification of future caner markers and provide a new thought for screening strategy of cancer markers.

Acute liver failure and end-stage liver diseases are llfe-threatening.So far,orthotopic liver transplantation is the unique treatment available for these late-stage liver diseases,which,however,is limited by the lack of donor liver.While hepatocyte transplantation,bioartificial liver and tissue engineered liver are potential alternative treatments,the limited availability of functional hepatoeytes is the major hurdle.Due to their extensive capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency to differentiate into cells,embryonic stem cells represent a potential unlimited cell source for therapy.The clinical application of embryonic stem cells in liver diseases requires well-defined and efficient protocols for differentiation,characterization and purification in vitro.Hepatic differentiation of embryonic stem cells in different culttire systelns and the problems remained are reviewed in this article.
