Novel Diagnostic Approaches for Celiac Disease
Cited 31 times
While the current standard tests of serology and conventional histology are usually adequate to reach a diagnosis of CD, there are patients whose tests are equivocal and diagnostic uncertainty remains. Several novel diagnostic approaches have been undertaken. The deposition of IgA antibodies in close proximity to TG2 in the small intestine has shown promise as a way of defining early or potential CD in patients who are seropositive but lack any of the usual histological markers for CD. Recent work from Finland on IgA-TG2 autoantibody deposition in the small intestine in such patients shows promise in delivery of an early prediction of development of CD. However, this is currently experimental and the methodology requires tissue sections frozen in liquid nitrogen.124 (link) Another diagnostic method meriting further evaluation is EmA assay in the culture medium of small intestinal biopsies.125 (link)
126 (link) Other investigators have reported their findings using new techniques associated with endoscopy to enhance the diagnosis of CD. These include confocal microscopy, high-resolution magnification endoscopy, optical band imaging127 (link) and optimal coherence tomography. These novel techniques are still limited by availability, tolerability and cost.98 (link) However, the immersion technique and dye enhancement in which the endoscopist instills water or a contrast dye (for example, indigo carmine or methylene blue) into the bowel lumen, with or without the assistance of magnification endoscopy, enhancing the visualisation of the villus128 (link) can be readily used and improves visualisation of villi, thus increasing the sensitivity for detection of villous atrophy.98 (link)

Cited 21 times
Mouse embryonic stem cells were cultured in M15 media (Knock-out DMEM (Gibco) and supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), GPS (glutamate-penicillin-streptomycin, Gibco) and 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol with SNL feeder cells. 25μg BACμ DNA was electroporated into 107 Pl2F7 ES-cells (for details on generation of these cells from the AB2.2 cell line see Supplementary Figures 1–3 online) in 0.9 ml PBS at 230 V, 500 μF. Transgenic colonies were selected with G418 (Gibco) and analyzed for the presence of BRCA2 gene by Southern blot. Genomic DNA was hybridized with a 581 bp fragment corresponding to intron 1 of BRCA2 as a 5 probe (nucleotides 13,869,785–13,870,365 of NT_024524.13) recognizing a 1,835 bp EcoRI fragment and a 356 bp fragment corresponding to exon 27 of BRCA2 as a 3′ probe (nucleotides 13,953,046–13,953,401 of NT_024524.13) recognizing a 4,275 bp EcoRI fragment (Fig. 1b). Double-positive clones were further tested for expression of BRCA2 by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. BRCA2 expressing clones were electroporated with Pgk-Cre plasmid4 (link) and 105 cells were seeded in a 100 mm dish with SNL-feeder cells. Recombinant colonies were selected in the HAT media (Gibco) for 5 days followed by 2 days in HT media (Gibco). Viable colonies were analyzed by Southern blot to confirm the loss of the conditional Brca2 allele. A 1.5 kb probe specific to Brca2 exon 11 (nucleotides 5208–6710 of NM 009765) has been used to detect a 2.2 kb EcoRV fragment corresponding to the mutant allele (ko) and a 4.8 kb fragment corresponding to the wild-type or conditional allele (cko) (Fig. 1e and Supplementary Figure 3 online). HATr colonies were also stained with methylene blue (2% methylene blue w/v in 70% ethanol for 15 minutes followed by washing with 70% ethanol) to facilitate their quantification.

Transgenic Zebrafish Lines for Liver and Pancreas
Cited 16 times
Isolation of elaA promoter (1.9 kb) and construction of the chimeric plasmid pElaA-EGFP have been described previously [17 (link)] The liver-specific promoter (2.8 kb) derived from the zebrafish liver fatty acid binding protein gene was provided by Dr. G.-M. Her and was inserted into pDsRed-Express-1 (Clontech, USA) to make the chimeric plasmid pLFABP-RFP. Both plasmids were linearized, mixed with 0.25% phenol red solution (1:1:1) at a final concentration of 100 ng/μl of each plasmid. Microinjection was carried out at the 1–2 cell stage. The DNA solution was injected into the boundary between the yolk and blastodisc. After microinjection, the embryos were maintained in egg water [29 ] with ~0.0005% methylene blue in a 28.5°C incubator. Transgenic founders were screened by observation of F1 embryos for RFP and GFP expression. 444 injected embryos were raised to adult and 66 of them were screened for transgenics. Two of them were found to produce F1 embryos with strong liver-specific RFP expression and exocrine pancreas-specific GFP expression. Thus, two stable transgenic lines were established and both showed standard Mendelian inheritance from F2 generation onwards. Since identical reporter gene expression patterns were observed in the two lines, only one line, named LiPan, was used for further characterization. Homozygous LiPan zebrafish were viable and had no visible phenotype. The LiPan line has been maintained in our laboratories for over eight generations and co-expression of RFP in the liver and GFP in the exocrine pancreas is always observed. Thus the two injected DNA constructs are likely co-integrated into the same chromosomal locus.

Diagnosis and Management of Anal Fistula
The diagnosis of anal fistula is based on the German S3 guidelines: anal abscess and fistula (23 (link)). All patients were diagnosed with anal fistula by anal finger examination, anoscope examination, radiographic examination (including rectal endoluminal ultrasound, pelvic CT, or MRI), or intraoperative probe/methylene blue staining, and the number of internal orifices was counted by these techniques. The diagnostic criteria for T2DM were based on the latest Chinese guidelines for the prevention and treatment of T2DM set by the Chinese Diabetes Society (24 (link), 25 (link)). And the diagnosis was assigned by an endocrinologist. Relevant data were collected on the cases, including demographic characteristics, clinical features, laboratory and ancillary tests at admission, anal fistula-related information (e.g., previous surgical history, anal fistula types, number of internal orifices, etc.), pre- and post-surgical treatments, and surgical modalities. Non-healing (refractory) group refers to trauma that cannot be repaired in time with conventional therapy or wounds that can not achieve functional recovery and anatomical integrity (26 (link)). The last routine dressing change time in the outpatient clinic was collected as the outcome indicator. Judged by the specialist anorectologist and the definition of the relevant literature, patients were divided into the non-healing (refractory) group or healing group according to whether its recovery period is longer than 35 days (27 (link)–29 (link)).
Among the underlying diseases, hypertensive disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases are listed independently. Chronic cardiovascular diseases included coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and lacunar cerebral infarction. Chronic lung diseases included tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic pulmonary heart disease. Chronic liver diseases included chronic viral hepatitis B, cirrhosis of the liver, hepatic hemangioma, etc.

Photocatalytic Degradation and Reduction
The photocatalytic behaviour was investigated by the oxidation of methylene blue and reduction of Cr(VI). The photocatalytic performance was evaluated under simulated solar light using a 300 W Xe lamp (a high-pressure 150 W xenon lamp, LOT – QuantumDesign GmbH equipped with the AM1.5G filter). The intensity of the incident light that reaches the surface of the investigated solution was equal to 100 mWcm−2 (measured using a Coherentâ FieldMate Laser Power Meter). In a typical test, 20 mg of catalyst was placed in a 50 mL aqueous pollutant solution. The concentration of MB and Cr(VI) was 1·10–5 M. Before irradiation, the suspension was vigorously stirred in the dark for 30 min to reach desorption-adsorption equilibrium. The change in MB and Cr(VI) concentration was monitored by its absorption at 665 nm and 351 nm, respectively, from the UV–Vis (Spektrofotometr UV5100) spectra of the solution, using distilled water as a reference. A total of 0.75 ml of suspension was collected and centrifuged before UV‒Vis measurement. In the case of Cr(VI) photoreduction, the process was conducted in acidified (pH = 3) solutions.
To study the reusability of the prepared photocatalysts, the cycle experiment was repeated 4 times for the photodegradation of methylene blue. After each photodegradation test, the catalyst was collected by centrifugation, dried under natural conditions and used for the next degradation experiment. Moreover, to indicate the role of hydroxyl radicals (·OH), (h +) holes and superoxide radicals (·O2-) in the process of MB degradation, experiments were performed in the presence of appropriate scavengers: t-butanol (TBA), ammonium oxalate (AO) and benzoquinone (BQ). The concentration of each scavenger was equal to 1 mM.
