The results showed that boundaries between medulla and cortex was ambiguous at the eighth week and became obvious at the twelfth week. Primordial follicles could be found in 8-week fetal ovaries and some follicle cells became irregular cuboid in 12-week, but primary follicles could be found until 16-week. There was significant difference between 8-week and 12-week follicles in size (P < 0.01), most mitochondria were round, some diamond, irregular and juvenile ones could be found with the development of oocytes. Some of oocytes degenerated in each stage of development. The diameter of primary oocytes, primordial follicles and primordial follicular oocytes were larger in 12-16 weeks fetal ovaries than other times.展开更多

Such techniques could not only achieve prenatal diagnosis accurately, but also prevent tangential illness in fetuses and thus, reduce the incidence of diseases. Moreover, it is non-invasive prenatal gene diagnosis that prevents potential threaten and danger to both mothers and fetuses. Therefore, it is welcomed by clinical gynecologist and obstetrian, researchers of medical genetics, and especially, pregnancies. This review article touches briefly on the advanced development of using cell-free DNA, RNA in maternal plasma and urine for non-invasive prenatal gene diagnosis.展开更多

The mouse Ipr1 gene and human SR-A promoter were successfully cloned and then used to construct this macrophage-specific eukaryotic expression vector. Bovine fetal fibroblasts in stable primary culture (4th passage) were transfected with pSRA-EGFP-Ipr1 by electroporation. Fluorescence from GFP was observed after 24h. Transgenic cells were selected using G418 and the resultant monoclones were picked and expanded. The transgenic cells, at the 9 th passage, were evaluated by PCR and flow cytometry. The inserted Ipr1 was confirmed by PCR, indicating stable integration of the transgene into the genome and cells had normal karyotypes and very good appearance, which indicate no deleterious result of the transgenesis. In conclusion, the cells obtained could be used as donor cells for nuclear transfer for further research of transgenic cattle.展开更多
