Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing glufosinate, and specifically a method of preparing glufosinate represented by formula (1) or its salt or enantiomer, or a mixture of its enantiomers in any ratio, comprising a step of hydrolyzing a compound of formula (III) to generate a compound of formula (1). Due to a distinctive reaction mechanism adopted in the method of the present disclosure, a halogenated hydrocarbon by-product in the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction can be avoided and thus the destructive impact of the halogenated hydrocarbon by-product on ozone in the aerosphere can be prevented. Accordingly, the equipment and engineering investments required for the separation, purification, and collection of the foregoing by-product are eliminated, and the potential environmental and safety hazards brought by the foregoing by-product are also avoided.

Abstract: An oximetry probe and an operating method thereof, and an oximetry sensor. The oximetry probe includes an oximetry sensor which includes a detection end and an output end, and an adapter. The detection end includes a photodetector and multiple light-emitting elements connected in series. The output end has multiple output ports. Adjacent output ports are electrically connected to two sides of the corresponding light-emitting element. The adapter has a first adapter end and a second adapter end between which multiple wires are provided. The first adapter end is electrically connected with an input end of the monitor. When the second adapter end is connected to the output end, the wires are electrically connected with the output ports to form closed circuit to enable the light-emitting element to emit light which is received by the photodetector to generate a signal involving blood oxygen saturation to be displayed on the monitor.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods of detecting and quantifying low concentrations of cells in a sample with targeted nanoparticles having Raman reporters using surface-enhanced Raman scattering for detection. In certain embodiments, the sample is a group of cells derived from stem cells that have been differentiated into specific cell types and one is detecting residual stem cells or other progeny in order to quantify the purity of the sample. In certain embodiments, the targeted nanoparticles contain two or more Raman reporters for the purpose of multiplexing. In certain embodiments, purity measurements are used to make quality control determinations.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an improved system for culturing human pluripotent stem cells. Traditionally, pluripotent stem cells are cultured on a layer of feeder cells (such as mouse embryonic fibroblasts) to prevent them from differentiating. In the system described here, the role of feeder cells is replaced by components added to the culture environment that support rapid proliferation without differentiation. Effective features are a suitable support structure for the cells, and an effective medium that can be added fresh to the culture without being preconditioned by another cell type. Culturing human embryonic stem cells in fresh medium according to this invention causes the cells to expand surprisingly rapidly, while retaining the ability to differentiate into cells representing all three embryonic germ layers. This new culture system allows for bulk proliferation of pPS cells for commercial production of important products for use in drug screening and human therapy.

Abstract: This invention provides a new procedure for generating cardiomyocyte lineage cells from embryonic stem cells for use in regenerative medicine. Differentiating by way of embryoid body formation or in serum is no longer required. Instead, the stem cells are plated onto a solid substrate, and differentiated in the presence of select factors and morphogens. After enrichment for cells with the appropriate phenotype, the cells are allowed to cluster into Cardiac Bodies™, which are remarkably homogeneous and suitable for the treatment of heart disease.

Abstract: This invention provides populations human cells of the cardiomyocyte lineage. The cells are obtained by causing cultures of pluripotent stem cells to differentiate in vitro, and then harvesting cells with certain phenotypic features. Differentiated cells bear cell surface and morphologic markers characteristic of cardiomyocytes, and a proportion of them undergo spontaneous periodic contraction. Highly enriched populations of cardiomyocytes and their replicating precursors can be obtained, suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as drug screening and therapy for cardiac disease.
