Objectives: DNA content of diploid H1 (ES) cells (2H1 cells) has been shown to be stable in long-term culture; however, tetraploid and octaploid H1 (ES) cells (4H1 and 8H1 cells, respectively) were DNA-unstable. Pentaploid H1 (ES) cells (5H1 cells) established recently have been found to be DNA-stable; how, then is cell DNA stability determined? To discuss ploidy stability, decaploid H1 (ES) cells (10H1 cells) were established from 5H1 cells and examined for DNA stability.
Materials And Methods: 5H1 cells were polyploidized using demecolcine (DC) and 10H1 cells were obtained by one-cell cloning.
Results: Number of chromosomes of 10H1 cells was 180 and durations of their G(1), S, and G(2)/M phases were 3, 7 and 6 h respectively. Volume of 10H1 cells was double that of 5H1 cells and morphology of 10H1 cells was flagstone-like in shape. 10H1 cells exhibited alkaline phosphatase activity and their DNA content decayed in 91 days of culture. 10H1 cells injected into mouse abdomen formed solid tumours that contained several kinds of differentiated cells with lower DNA content, suggesting that 10H1 cells were pluripotent and DNA-unstable. Loss of DNA stability was explained using a hypothesis concerning DNA structure of polyploid cells as DNA reconstructed through ploidy doubling was arranged in mirror symmetry in a new configuration.
Conclusion: In the pentaploid-decaploid transition of H1 cells, cell cycle parameters and pluripotency were retained, but morphology and DNA stability were altered.

Article Synopsis
- 10-1,9-diazaphenothiazine was created by reacting diphenylamine with elemental sulfur, and new derivatives were synthesized with different alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom.
- Advanced NMR techniques and X-ray diffraction were used to confirm the structure of the compound.
- The derivatives showed significant anticancer activity, outperforming cisplatin against several cancer cell lines, with specific compounds triggering apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway.

A new type of tricyclic azaphenothiazines-1,8-diazaphenothiazines-was obtained in the reaction of 2,3- and 3,4-disubstituted pyridines. The reaction ran as the Smiles rearrangement. The 1,8-diazaphenothiazine system was determined using NOE experiment and 2D NMR spectra (COSY, HSQC, HMBC).

Exoelectrogenic microorganisms in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) compete with other microorganisms for substrate. In order to understand how this affects removal rates, current generation, and coulombic efficiencies (CEs), substrate removal rates were compared in MFCs fed a single, readily biodegradable compound (acetate) or domestic wastewater (WW). Removal rates based on initial test conditions fit first-order kinetics, but rate constants varied with circuit resistance.

The production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) by fermentation is a process that had been used by industries for decades. Two stage immobilized column reactor system integrated with liquid-liquid extraction was used with immobilized Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 792, to enhance the ABE productivity and yield. The sugar mixture (glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, and xylose) representative to the lignocellulose hydrolysates was used as a substrate for continuous ABE production.

Objective: To investigate the effects of static magnetic fields (SMFs) with different exposure time on the maturation of rat osteoblasts in vitro and the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene.
Methods: The calvarial osteoblasts were isolated from newborn rats by enzyme digestion and randomly divided into 9 groups after one passage based on the exposure time of the SMFs[0 (control), 0.5 h, 1.
