The aim of the study is to investigate the efficiency of the second-trimester biochemical screening, with maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MS-AFP) and free beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (free beta-hCG), during the ten-year period. The study included 11,292 of pregnant women between the 15th and 18th gestational week, who underwent screening from November 1996 to December 2006. The risk for trisomy 21 and trisomy 18 were calculated by computer software, based on a model which generated the final risk for fetal aneuploidies from the pregnant woman's a priori age risk and the likelihood ratio of the distribution of the biochemical markers, according to the second-trimester gestation. With the cut-off value of the final risk > or = 1:250, the detection rate for trisomy 21 was 75% (21/28). In women less than or equal to 35, the detection was 57.1% (8/14) and 92.9% (13/14) in those over 35 years, respectively. The detection rate of trisomy 18 was 50% (2/4). The results confirmed that the implementation of double-test, as non-invasive screening for fetal aneuploidies, should be accepted as a complementary method of antenatal care. 相似文献

Mesocoelium lanfrediaesp. nov. (Digenea: Mesocoeliidae) inhabits the small intestine of Rhinella marina (Amphibia: Bufonidae) and is described here, with illustrations provided by light, scanning electron microscopy and molecular approachs. M. lanfrediae sp. nov. presents the typical characteristics of the genus, but is morphometrically and morphologically different from the species described previously. The main diagnostic characteristics of M. lanfrediae sp. nov. are (i) seven pairs of regularly-distributed spherical papillae on the oral sucker, (ii) ventral sucker outlined by four pairs of papillae distributed in a uniform pattern and interspersed with numerous spines, which are larger at the posterior margin and (iii) small, rounded tegumentary papillae around the opening of the oral sucker, which are morphologically different from those of the oral sucker itself, some of which are randomly disposed in the ventrolateral tegumentary region of the anterior third of the body. Addionally, based on SSU rDNA, a phylogenetic analysis including Brachycoeliidae and Mesocoeliidae taxa available on GenBank established the close relationship between M. lanfrediae sp. nov. and Mesocoelium sp. 相似文献

The kinetics of defense responses was studied in soybean exposed to ecologically relevant concentrations of arsenic for 96 h. In the roots of two soybean cultivars with contrasting tolerance to this metalloid there were observed differences in basal levels of membrane lipid peroxidation as well as a significantly different course of peroxidation upon exposure to As. The different course of stress was reflected in the accumulation of defense components. The responses of individual chitinase isoforms were studied since these enzymes had previously been shown to be stable components of defense against metals. The kinetics and magnitude of accumulation of the three isoforms during exposure to As significantly differed within as well as between the studied cultivars. Furthermore, accumulation of these isoforms appeared to be related to oxidative status in the root tissue. The timing of induced responses is likely to be important for efficient defense against metal(oid) pollution in environment. 相似文献

Crossability relationships between six species of the Mediterranean, North American and Asian firs was tested using Abies alba and A. nordmanniana as female parents and A. alba, A. numidica, A. procera, A. grandis, and A. holophylla as pollen parents. An overwhelming majority of the crosses attempted was found to be compatible. In particular, it is true of the A. alba cross with A. numidica and those of A. nordmanniana with A. alba, A. numidica, A. procera, and A. holophylla. The crossing A. nordmanniana × A. grandis was the only exception producing empty seeds. Cytological study revealed the gametophytic incompatibility to be responsible for reproductive isolation of these species. At seedling level, all the interspecific crosses of A. nordmanniana surpassed in height growth self-pollinated control. The cross A. alba × A. numidica was comparable in this respect with control variants from open and self-pollination. Except for height growth, some characteristics of needle stomata are provided for individual crosses. The crosses A. nordmanniana with A. procera and A. holophylla represent unique interspecific combinations whose existence has not been reported yet. Based on needle stomata characteristics, the potential for increased resistance and drought tolerance of the hybrids with A. numidica involved as parental species is discussed. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: Gene annotation is the final goal of gene prediction
algorithms. However, these algorithms frequently make mistakes and
therefore the use of gene predictions for sequence annotation is hardly
possible. As a result, biologists are forced to conduct time-consuming gene
identification experiments by designing appropriate PCR primers to test
cDNA libraries or applying RT-PCR, exon trapping/amplification, or other
techniques. This process frequently amounts to 'guessing' PCR primers on
top of unreliable gene predictions and frequently leads to wasting of
experimental efforts. RESULTS: The present paper proposes a simple and
reliable algorithm for experimental gene identification which bypasses the
unreliable gene prediction step. Studies of the performance of the
algorithm on a sample of human genes indicate that an experimental protocol
based on the algorithm's predictions achieves an accurate gene
identification with relatively few PCR primers. Predictions of PCR primers
may be used for exon amplification in preliminary mutation analysis during
an attempt to identify a gene responsible for a disease. We propose a
simple approach to find a short region from a genomic sequence that with
high probability overlaps with some exon of the gene. The algorithm is
enhanced to find one or more segments that are probably contained in the
translated region of the gene and can be used as PCR primers to select
appropriate clones in cDNA libraries by selective amplification. The
algorithm is further extended to locate a set of PCR primers that uniformly
cover all translated regions and can be used for RT-PCR and further
sequencing of (unknown) mRNA.

Thyroarytenoid muscle activity during hypoxia, hypercapnia, and voluntary hyperventilation in humans
Insalaco G.; Kuna S. T.; Cibella F.; Villeponteaux R. D. 《Journal of applied physiology》1990,69(1):268-273
Intramuscular electromyographic activity of the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle, a vocal cord adductor, was recorded in nine normal adult humans during progressive isocapnic hypoxia and hyperoxic hypercapnia. Four of the nine subjects also performed voluntary isocapnic hyperventilation. During quiet breathing of room air, the TA exhibited phasic activity in expiration and often tonic activity throughout the respiratory cycle. Both phasic and tonic TA activity progressively decreased with either increasing hypoxia or hypercapnia. Tonic activity appeared to decrease more rapidly than phasic activity with increasing chemical stimulation. At comparable tidal volume increments, the relative decrease in phasic TA activity appeared to be greater under hypoxic than under hypercapnic conditions. During voluntary isocapnic hyperventilation, phasic TA activity decreased without significant change in tonic activity. At tidal volumes approximately double those of base line, the relative decrease in TA activity was similar during both hypercapnia and voluntary hyperventilation, although differences appeared at higher tidal volumes. The results, in combination with recent findings in humans regarding the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle, a vocal cord abductor, suggest that vocal cord position is dependent on the net balance of counteracting forces not only during quiet breathing but also during involuntary and voluntary hyperpnea. 相似文献

Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle activity during wakefulness and sleep in normal adults 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Six normal adults were studied 1) to compare respiratory-related posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle activity during wakefulness and sleep and 2) to determine the effect of upper airway occlusions during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep on PCA activity. A new electromyographic technique was developed to implant hooked-wire electrodes into the PCA by using a nasopharyngoscope. A previously described technique was used to induce upper airway occlusions during NREM sleep (Kuna and Smickley, J. Appl. Physiol. 64: 347-353, 1988). The PCA exhibited phasic inspiratory activity during quiet breathing in wakefulness and sleep in all subjects. Discounting changes in tonic activity, peak amplitude of PCA inspiratory activity during stage 3-4 NREM sleep decreased to 77% of its value in wakefulness. Tonic activity throughout the respiratory cycle was present in all subjects during wakefulness but was absent during state 3-4 NREM sleep. In this sleep stage, PCA phasic activity abruptly terminated near the end of inspiration. During nasal airway occlusions in NREM sleep, PCA phasic activity did not increase significantly during the first or second occluded effort. The results, in combination with recent findings for vocal cord adductors in awake and sleeping adults, suggest that vocal cord position during quiet breathing in wakefulness is actively controlled by simultaneously acting antagonistic intrinsic laryngeal muscles. In contrast, the return of the vocal cords toward the midline during expiration in stage 3-4 NREM sleep appears to be a passive phenomenon. 相似文献

The high-energy ion nanoprobe LIPSION at the University of Leipzig has been in operation since 1998. The ultrastable, 3.5 MV SINLETRON accelerator supplies the H+ or He+ ion beam. A magnetic scanning system moves the focused beam across the sample. At present, a resolution of 41 +/- 4 nm in the low current mode and 300 nm at 5 pA can be achieved. The experimental chamber is equipped with electron-, energy dispersive X-ray-, and particle detectors. They can be used simultaneously to analyse the sample by means of PIXE (particle induced X-ray emission), RBS (Rutherford backscattering), and in the case of thin sections or monolayer samples STIM (scanning transmission ion microscopy). A goniometer allows the application of channeling measurements in single crystals in combination with these methods. In contrast to previous publication describing microbeam facility at LIPSION, the current biomedical research has concentrated on microscopy and tomography on chondrocytes in pig cartilages and fixed single endothelial cells (HUVEC). For the irradiation of single living cells, an external beam facility with irradiation platform, fast beamgate and mini-Petri dishes is under construction. 相似文献
