Cardiovascular development: towards biomedical applicability

Advances in our understanding of cardiac development have fuelled research into cellular approaches to myocardial repair of the damaged heart. In this collection of reviews we present recent advances into the basic mechanisms of heart development and the resident and non-resident progenitor cell populations that are currently being investigated as potential mediators of cardiac repair. Together these reviews illustrate that despite our current knowledge about how the heart is constructed, caution and much more research in this exciting field is essential. The current momentum to evaluate the potential for cardiac repair will in turn accelerate research into fundamental aspects of myocardial biology.     

Therapeutic applications of bone marrow-derived stem cells in liver transplantation for end-stage liver diseases

Today, liver transplantation (LT) is the only established treatment for end-stage liver diseases. The de- velopment of LT, including OLT, cadaveric LT, split LT, living donor LT (LDLT), brings hopes to patients with these diseases. However, increasing donor shortage, rejection and life-long immunosuppression with its side effects are the major limitations of this therapy strategy. Bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDSCs) are capable of differentiating into hepatocyte-like cells and contribute to liver injury repair. The microenvironment of liver injury caused by rejection, ischemia/reperfusion, loss of liver mass, recurrence of HCV and "small-for-size syndrome" after LT can attract a variety of bone marrow-derived stem cell population to the peripheral circulation and then migration to the injury liver to promote the hepatic function restoration. Additionally, BMDSCs can also take part in the functional regeneration of living donor liver after LDLT. This participation in liver regeneration may be associated to the interac- tion between SDF-1and its receptor CXCR4, involving HGF, IL-8, MMP9, and VEGF/VEGFR-2. BMDSC with its bio-characteristics could maintain the allograft tolerance from different angles and in different ways. In conclusion, BMDSCs transplantation, as a new assistant therapeutic method for LT, will ex- pand the space of LT, and provide more survival opportunities for the patients suffering liver diseases in the future.

骨髓干细胞的可塑性及其在栓塞性疾病中的应用

栓塞性血管阻塞在急性心肌梗死、脑梗塞、血栓闭塞性脉管炎、糖尿病足等发病过程中起着重要作用。目前临床上针对这些疾病的治疗手段主要有：药物溶栓、血管旁路移植和介入手术等,多年来其治疗方法无实质性进展。上个世纪九十年代人们发现了干细胞新的生物学特性—可塑性,对干细胞可塑性的研究以及相关技术的发展为心脏病、老年痴呆、帕金森等的治疗带来了希望,也为栓塞性疾病的治疗开辟了新途径,有望成为治疗手段之一。     

From endoderm to pancreas: a multistep journey

The formation of the vertebrate pancreas is a complex process that typifies the basic steps of embryonic development. It involves the establishment of competence, specification, signaling from neighboring tissues, morphogenesis, and the elaboration of tissue-specific genetic networks. A full analysis of this multistep process will help us to understand classic principles of embryonic development. Furthermore, this will provide the blueprint for experimental programming of pancreas formation from embryonic stem cells in the context of diabetes cell-therapy. Although in the past decade many studies have contributed to a solid foundation for understanding pancreatogenesis, important gaps persist in our knowledge of early pancreas formation. This review will summarize the current understanding of the early mechanisms coming into play to pattern the "pre-pancreatic" region within the endoderm and, gradually, specify the pancreatic tissue.     

白腐菌降解氯代农药的机理

确定了白腐菌在水中的静置培养条件,探讨了在该条件下白腐菌对水中微量氯代农药的生物降解情况及其降解机理．实验结果表明,白腐菌在含有ρ为０．０２％的葡萄糖、０．０３％的酒石酸铵和适量无机盐的培养液中,于３５℃,经５～７ｄ的静置培养可获得良好的菌丝,并对氯代农药有最大的降解效率（９０％以上）．对降解的部分中间产物的ＧＣ－ＭＳ分析表明,不同类氯代农药有不同的降解过程和机理

RNA抑制技术在神经干细胞研究中的应用

神经干细胞是在神经系统中发现的一种可以再生的细胞，不仅具有自我复制能力，还可以分化为神经元、星状胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞，对研究神经退行性疾病和神经系统的发育过程产生很大的影响，因而在国际上形成了一个研究热点，但其增殖、分化乃至迁移的机制仍有待解决，RNA抑制技术是目前流行的基因沉默法，利用导入小片段核酸进入细胞，对特定基因表达的翻译阶段进行抑制，从而观察基因对细胞的影响，该文在已获得分化相关基因的基础上，利用RNA干扰(RNAi)和反义RNA(antisense RNA)法检测几个基因对神经干细胞的影响。     

Building of hFⅨ transgenic mice by spermatogenic cells

Human FⅨ expression vector pCMVⅨ was packaged by effectene^TM reagent and injected into mice seminiferous tubules with glass pipettes.The expressional frame of pCMVⅨ was examined by PCR and Southern blotting among 41 progenies.There were 2(4%) mice being integrated with hFⅨ gene into chromosomes.4.6ng/mL of hFⅨ protein was expressed in plasma of one mouse,which was tested by ELISA.We demonstrated that building of transgenic animals by spermatogonial stem cells is an efficient method.Meanwhile,it has also been proved to be an alternative choice for mammary gland bioreactor.
