Abstract
Mineral spring water is a top quality potable groundwater resource formed by long-term groundwater-rock interaction in aquifer. Mineral spring water is rich in minerals and trace elements which are beneficial for human health. Given the current serious water pollution and environment deterioration, it is of great significance to re-recognize the ecological and health effects of mineral water based on new scientific and technological achievement. The Wudalianchi scenic area in Heilongjiang Province has abundant mineral water and peloid resources, which supported the development of tourism and convalescence and have been used in medical and health care for more than 100 years. However, it is threatened by resource reduction, environmental pollution, and other problems. Here, we reviewed the formation process, distribution, hydro-biochemical characteristics and health effects of the Wudalianchi mineral springs, with particular focus on the advances of microbial studies in this area. We also proposed the future research prospective for the Wudalianchi mineral water. To better protect and utilize the Wudalianchi mineral water, it was recommended that a green eco-agriculture practice in reducing chemical fertilizers should be adapted in the surrounding farms of Wudalianchi. Along with the development of tourism and recuperation resources, it is necessary to establish a framework of pollution risk assessment and control, and strictly reduce potential emerging pollutants to eco-geological environment.

Abstract
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a type of bone deformity found in fast-growing chickens, which induce inflammatory responses. Prostaglandins (PGs) implicate in bone formation and bone resorption, associated with inflammation in an autocrine/paracrine manner. This study used qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis to identify the expression patterns of PG-related genes in the erythrocytes of broiler chickens and explore the effects of thiram-induced TD and the recombinant glutathione-S-transferase A3 (rGSTA3) protein on the expression of PG-related genes: GSTA3, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), prostaglandin D2 synthase (PTGDS), prostaglandin E synthase (PTGES), prostaglandin E2 receptor (PTGER) 3, PTGER4 and prostaglandin reductase 1 (PTGR1). Interestingly, the results showed that these seven PG-related genes expression was identified in the erythrocytes of broiler chicken, and thiram-induced TD suppressed the expression of these PG-related genes in the initial stage of TD and promoted their expression in TD recovery. These findings demonstrated that the immunoregulatory function of erythrocytes can be inhibited in the early stage of TD and promoted in the recovery stage by modulating the expression of PG-related genes. Further, the rGSTA3 protein can modulate the expression of PG-related genes in erythrocytes and participate in the recovery of TD.

Abstract
Adipogenesis, the development from preadipocytes or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to mature adipocytes, is regulated by a network of signaling pathways and transcription factors. The involvement of Notch signaling and its effector HES1 in adipogenesis has been investigated in several studies with conflicting results. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear because of the lack of information about HES1 target genes during adipocyte differentiation. As a novel gene transiently up-regulated in early adipogenesis, FAD24 functions as a positive regulator of adipocyte differentiation in both preadipocytes and MSCs. In the present study, we report that the expression level of FAD24 is inversely associated with that of HES1 in porcine MSCs after adipogenic induction. Enforced overexpression of HES1 in MSCs during the early stage of adipogenesis significantly repressed the transcription of FAD24 (P < 0.01) and the other pro-adipogenic genes (P < 0.05), resulting in reduced intracellular lipid accumulation. Sequence analysis showed that porcine FAD24 harbors an evolutionarily conserved HES1 binding site in its proximal promoter region. Functional HES1, but not its dominant-negative mutant, markedly reduced the promoter activity of FAD24 (P < 0.01). Site-directed mutation and chromatin immunoprecipitation further confirmed that HES1 inhibits FAD24 transcription by direct binding to the promoter. Taken together, we identified FAD24 as a novel downstream target of HES1 during adipogenesis. Our data suggest that HES1-mediated repression of FAD24 transcription at the early stage of adipocyte differentiation may contribute to the impaired adipogenesis induced by the Notch-HES1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
We sought to examine the feasibility of intermittent dosing of octreotide in acromegalics to avoid the well-documented side effect of cholelithiasis. In fourteen acromegalic patients, we measured serum GH, five hour GH profile (mean GH, measured hourly 8:00 am to 12:00 pm) prior to the discontinuation of octreotide and weekly thereafter. In addition, gallbladder contractility was quantitated using the percent of relative gallbladder contractility (PRGC) obtained by ultrasound during a fat meal test. One week after withdrawal of octreotide, basal GH and five our GH profile (14.6 +/- 3.3 micrograms/L, 13.4 +/- 3.2 micrograms/L, respectively) were significantly less than (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and represented 36% and 24% of their respective pretreatment values. At the end of two weeks, these parameters were 60% and 56% of their pretreatment levels. We also measured serum octreotide levels following withdrawal; the drug is completely eliminated from the serum within 3 day. In all of 6 patients who did not develop stones, PRGC normalized within one week. In 8 patients who developed stones, 3 of them had restoration of normal contractility in 2 weeks. Our results show that upon withdrawal of octreotide, gall bladder contractility normalizes while GH suppression persists for a longer period of time. Therefore, intermittent therapy may allow clearance of stagnated bile and hence decrease the incidence of cholelithiasis in acromegalic patients receiving long term octreotide therapy.

Abstract
103,753 (male 51,994, female 51,759) primary and middle school students aged 6-15 years in two districts in Beijing city were surveyed from October 1987 to April 1989. The heights of the students were measured. According to the height standard of northern cities in China, 202 students with heights below the 3rd percentile for age were requested for detailed history, physical examination, screening GH test bone age, T4, SGPT, chest X-ray, routine urine test and sex chromatin (in female). If GH less than 10 micrograms/L, two provocative tests (L-dopa or clonidine and insulin hypoglycaemia test) were done. Then the heights of the short students were observed for 1/2-2 years. GHD was diagnosed in 12 cases based on the GH peak levels less than 10 micrograms/L in two provocative tests, whose growth velocity was slower than that for students of the same age and sex. Of these subjects with GHD, total GHD (GH less than 5 micrograms/L) was present in 7 and partial GHD (GH = 5-9.9 micrograms/L) in 5. The 12 GHD students (male 9, female 3) aged 8.9-15.7 years accounted for 1/8,646 in the total surveyed students. The male and female GHD accounted for 1/5,777 and 1/17,253 in the total males and females respectively.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody 131I-COC183B2, developed in our laboratory and proved to fit for human treatment was injected intraperitoneally or subcutaneously in 13 patients. In 8 cases with i.p. injection the disease corresponded with the image, i.e. 3 primary ovarian epithelial cancers showed positive images, 1 ovarian Krukenberg tumor was negative and the other 4 negative images included 1 uterine myoma and 3 ovarian teratomas. In the subcutaneous injection group, 4 cases had ovarian carcinoma, surgery and chemotherapy. Two negative images corresponded with the clinical status-in good health, another negative case had metastatic left supraclavicular lymph node due to ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma. The last negative image in this group was a case of benign ovarian teratoma which was proved after surgery. The 1 positive case was waiting to be proved by a scheduled third operation. The computer scintigram calculation of T/NT was 5.35 to 13.7. The results suggest that this monoclonal antibody can be used for radioimmunoimaging for the localization of ovarian carcinoma, which is not only helpful for clinical staging and differential diagnosis but is also a good follow-up method.

Abstract
The type and percentage of multiple pituitary hormone deficiency (MPHD) were studied in 42 patients with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). It was found that the development of secondary sexual characteristics was poor or absent in 39 patients (93%) with gonadotropin deficiency (GnD). Mean serum testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the 39 patients were significantly less than those of normal adult males (P less than 0.01). Mean testicular volume in 36 patients with GnD was significantly less than that in 3 with normal T level. We also found that 24-hour urinary free cortisol level (24 hour UFC) was low in 24 (57.1%) of 42 patients, but it is important that none had obvious symptoms of hypoadrenocorticism such as hypoglycemia, hypotension etc and received adrenal-corticosteroid treatment. 22 (52.4%) of the 42 patients suffered from hypothyroidism, with serum thyroxine (T4) level lower than normal but thyrotrophin (TSH) within normal range. 6 patients with hypothyroidism had moderate symptoms such as cold intolerance, constipation, rough and dry skin, slowing down both mentally and physically. 17 patients have treated with thyroxine. From the results mentioned above, 14 of the 41 patients with MPHD had pan-pituitary hormones (LH, FSH, TSH, ACTH) deficiency, only one had isolated growth hormone deficiency. Among all the patients, 23 underwent breech delivery and 11 patients had birth asphyxia. We therefore conclude that: (1) most of the IGHD cases are complicated with other pituitary hormone deficiency; (2) most of the IGHD cases have with MPHD; (3) Breech delivery and birth asphyxia were important etiological factors of IGHD.
