BACKGROUND: A specific phenotype of methimazole (MMI) induced malformations has recently been postulated. MMI embryopathy is characterized by minor dysmorphic features, choanal atresia and/or esophageal atresia, growth retardation, and developmental delay. METHODS: We prospectively studied the outcome of pregnancy in 241 women counseled by 10 Teratology Information Services (TIS) of the European Network of Teratology Information Services (ENTIS) because of MMI exposure, and compared them with those of 1,089 pregnant women referred to TIS because of exposure to nonteratogenic drugs (control group). Information was obtained by mail or telephone interview. RESULTS: There was no increase in the general rate of major anomalies or of spontaneous or induced abortions in the MMI-exposed group in comparison with the control group. Two newborns were affected with one of the major malformations that are part of the postulated embryopathy. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that choanal as well as esophageal atresia may have a higher incidence than expected in fetuses exposed to MMI between 3 and 7 gestational weeks. Until further data are available, thyrotoxicosis should be treated with propylthiouracil, as it is apparently safer for use during the fertile period. 相似文献

The enthalpic and entropic changes accompanying the reduction reaction of the six-coordinate cyanide adducts of cytochrome c, microperoxidase-11 and a few plant peroxidases were measured electrochemically. Once the compensating changes in reduction enthalpy and entropy due to solvent reorganization effects are factorized out, it is found that cyanide binding stabilizes enthalpically the ferriheme following the order: cyochrome c > peroxidase > microperoxidase-11. The effect is inversely correlated to the solvent accessibility of the heme. Comparison of the reduction thermodynamics for the cyanide adducts of cytochrome c and plant peroxidases with those for microperoxidase-11 and myoglobin, respectively, yielded an estimate of the consequences of protein encapsulation and of the anionic character of the proximal histidine on the reduction potential of the heme-cyanide group. Insertion of the heme-CN group into the folded peptide chain of cyt c induces an enthalpy-based decrease in E degrees ' of approximately 100 mV, consistent with the lower net charge of the oxidized as compared to the reduced iron center, whereas a full imidazolate character of the proximal histidine stabilizes enthalpically the ferriheme by approximately 400 mV. The latter value should be best considered as an upper limit since it also includes some solvation effects arising from the nature of the protein systems being compared. 相似文献

We describe a technique of automated chromatographic analysis of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), based on continuous monitoring of conductivity and enzyme activity in the effluent from a DEAE Sephadex column. As little as 1 milliunit of either crude or purified G6PD can be analyzed in three hours. The procedure may be useful for rapid characterization of genetic variants of G6PD by a technique which has been previously shown to have a high resolving power (±1% in terms of the KCl concentration used for elution of the column). 相似文献

The thermodynamic parameters for reduction of the type-1 (T1) copper site in Rhus vernicifera and Trametes versicolor laccases and for the derivative of the former protein from which the type-2 copper has been selectively removed (T2D) have
been determined with UV–vis spectroelectrochemistry. In all cases, the enthalpic term turns out to be the main determinant
of the E
o′ of the T1 site. Also the difference between the reduction potentials of the two laccases is enthalpy-based and reflects
differences in the coordination features of the T1 sites and their protein environment. The T1 sites in native R. vernicifera laccase and its T2D derivative show the same E
o′, as a result of compensatory differences in the reduction thermodynamics. This suggests that removal of the type-2 (T2)
copper results in modification of the reduction-induced solvent reorganization effects, with no influence in the structure
of the multicopper protein site. This conclusion is supported by NMR data recorded on the native, the T2D, and Hg-substituted
T1 derivatives of R. vernicifera laccase, which show that the T1 and T2/T3 sites are largely noninteracting. 相似文献

The CD4/CD8 ratio has long been used for the follow-up and monitor of many infectious diseases. Following the demonstration in 1983 that the CD4/CD8 ratio in the mouse is under genetic control, it was subsequently shown to be controlled by a major locus in man. To define the mode of inheritance of the CD4/CD8 ratio, we addressed the absolute number of CD4 and CD8 cells in a large unselected control sample and in members of 70 nuclear families. Pedigrees of nuclear families were analyzed by complex segregation analysis. Data was adjusted prior to this analysis to remove the effects of relevant covariates. The non-genetic-transmission and the multifactorial model could be easily rejected for both CD4 and CD8 cells. Among the different inheritance models, involving both a major gene and a multifactorial (MFT) component, a major autosomal recessive gene with a residual MFT effect controlling the high number of CD4 and a major autosomal recessive gene with a residual MFT effect controlling the high number of CD8 cells were the significantly best-fitting ones. Our findings have some practical implications. Among all, the knowledge of the CD4+ cell number and the proportion between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells could be a useful parameter in predicting human immunodeficiency virus infection outcome. 相似文献
