    Notes: : Calcium gluconate (0.0 to 0.5%), sodium gluconate (0.0 to 1.0%), and N-acetylglucosamine (0.0 to 1.0%) were added to skim milk to retain the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum. To carry out response surface modeling, the regression method was performed on experimental results to build mathematical models. The models were then formulated as an objective function in an optimization problem that was consequently optimized using a genetic algorithm approach to obtain the maximum viability of the probiotics. The genetic algorithms (GAs) were examined to search for the optimal value. The results indicated that GAs were very effective for optimizing the activity of probiotic cultures.

    Notes: Aims:  To investigate the participation of DMBT-1, a candidate tumour suppressor gene, in the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma via intraductal papillary neoplasm of the liver (IPN-L) arising in hepatolithiasis. DMBT-1 plays a role in mucosal immune defence.Methods and results:  The expression of DMBT-1 was examined immunohistochemically in biliary epithelial cells in hepatolithiasis (n = 25), invasive and non-invasive cholangiocarcinoma associated with hepatolithiasis (n = 52), IPN-L with hepatolithiasis (n = 49), cholangiocarcinoma without hepatolithiasis (n = 32), and 10 normal control livers. DMBT-1 was expressed more frequently in the biliary epithelia of hepatolithiasis when compared with normal livers (P 〈 0.05). DMBT-1 expression was also frequent in IPN-L (57%) and non-invasive cholangiocarcinoma (79%). By contrast, DMBT-1 was decreased in invasive cholangiocarcinoma with and without hepatolithiasis (50% and 30%, respectively) (P 〈 0.05). The homozygous deletion of the DMBT-1 gene was recognized in four (20%) of 20 cholangiocarcinoma tissues and two (50%) of four cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, corresponding to the reduction of DMBT-1 expression. No deletion was detected in hepatolithiasis tissues.Conclusion:  DMBT-1 expression is increased in IPN-L and non-invasive cholangiocarcinoma as well as in biliary epithelia in hepatolithiasis. Decreased expression of DMBT-1 and homozygous deletion of the DMBT-1 gene in invasive cholangiocarcinoma suggest that they occur in the late stage of cholangiocarcinogenesis.

    Notes: Summary One of the critical challenges for cellular genetic studies in primary human skin cells is lack of a gene delivery system that provides efficient transduction and sustained expression of the transgenes. Due to the limited time of survival in culture, the processes of drug selection and clonal expansion for establishing gene stably expressing cell lines are not a realistic option for primary skin cells. We have examined various gene transduction techniques in primary dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes of human skin. We report here that vectors based on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, lentivirus) offer more than 90% gene transduction efficiency and sustained expression of transgenes in both human skin cell types. In contrast, most of the commonly used techniques have at best 30% transduction efficiency in these cells. Using two previously reported migration control genes, protein kinase Cδ and p38α-MAPK, as examples, we provide evidence that the unprecedented efficiency of the lentiviral system enables a clear detection of the genes' dominant negative effects, which are otherwise greatly compromised by ordinary transfection techniques. We believe that a wide application of this gene transduction system will greatly benefit studies of gene function in human skin cells.
