In June 2008, the Biological Stain Commission sponsored A Seminar on Dyes and Staining the purpose of which was twofold: first, to show that very useful information applicable to biomedical dyes and staining is available from unrelated disciplines and second, to summarize modern thinking on how dyes, solvents, and tissues interact to produce selective staining. In this introduction to the papers from the symposium, we acknowledge that biomedical dye research has declined as newer technologies have gained importance. We should point out, however, that dyes and staining still are vitally important. Moreover, needs abound for innovative studies concerned with dye analysis, synthesis, and mode of action. Concepts and tools from unrelated fields hold promise for significant breakthroughs in many areas of interest. 相似文献

Background
Sequence related families of genes and proteins are common in bacterial genomes. In Escherichia coli they constitute over half of the genome. The presence of families and superfamilies of proteins suggest a history of gene duplication and divergence during evolution. Genome encoded protein families, their size and functional composition, reflect metabolic potentials of the organisms they are found in. Comparing protein families of different organisms give insight into functional differences and similarities. 相似文献23.

Background
Exported proteases are commonly associated with virulence in bacterial pathogens, yet there is a paucity of information regarding their role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. There are five genes (mycP1-5) present within the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv that encode a family of secreted, subtilisin-like serine proteases (the mycosins). The gene mycP1 (encoding mycosin-1) was found to be situated 3700 bp (four ORF's) from the RD1 deletion region in the genome of the attenuated vaccine strain M. bovis BCG (bacille de Calmette et Guérin) and was selected for further analyses due to the absence of expression in this organism. 相似文献24.

During preimplantation development in mammals, distinct epigenetic marks on oocyte and sperm DNA are remodeled to an embryonic pattern. A recent study examining global methylation of repetitive elements in various mammals showed that the reprogramming that occurs during normal preimplantation development is aberrant in cloned embryos. 相似文献

In order to determine whether there is a genetic component to hip or knee joint failure due to idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA),
we invited patients (probands) undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty for management of idiopathic OA to provide detailed family
histories regarding the prevalence of idiopathic OA requiring joint replacement in their siblings. We also invited their spouses
to provide detailed family histories about their siblings to serve as a control group. In the probands, we confirmed the diagnosis
of idiopathic OA using American College of Rheumatology criteria. The cohorts included the siblings of 635 probands undergoing
total hip replacement, the siblings of 486 probands undergoing total knee replacement, and the siblings of 787 spouses. We
compared the prevalence of arthroplasty for idiopathic OA among the siblings of the probands with that among the siblings
of the spouses, and we used logistic regression to identify independent risk factors for hip and knee arthroplasty in the
siblings. Familial aggregation for hip arthroplasty, but not for knee arthroplasty, was observed after controlling for age
and sex, suggesting a genetic contribution to end-stage hip OA but not to end-stage knee OA. We conclude that attempts to
identify genes that predispose to idiopathic OA resulting in joint failure are more likely to be successful in patients with
hip OA than in those with knee OA. 相似文献

Structure and regulation of the anthranilate synthase genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: II. Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The genes for the large and small subunits of anthranilate synthase (trpE
and trpG, respectively) have been cloned from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAC174
into E. coli by R-prime formation with the broad-host- range plasmid
R68.44. Sequential subcloning into plasmid vectors reduced the active
Pseudomonas DNA fragment to a length of 3.1 kb. We obtained evidence that
this region contains the promoter for its own expression and retains a
vestigial regulatory response to tryptophan scarcity or excess.

During the 1860’s, Hugo Schiff studied many reactions between amines and aldehydes, some of which have been used in histochemistry, at times without credit to Schiff. Much controversy has surrounded the chemical structures and reaction mechanisms of the compounds involved, but modern analytical techniques have clarified the picture. I review these reactions here. I used molecular modeling software to investigate dyes that contain primary amines representing eight chemical families. All dyes were known to perform satisfactorily for detecting aldehydes in tissue sections. The models verified the correct chemical structures at various points in their reactions and also determined how decolorization occurred in those with “leuco” forms. Decolorization in the presence of sulfurous acid can occur by either adduction or reduction depending on the dye. The final condensation product with aldehyde was determined to be either a C-sulfonic acid adduct on the carbonyl carbon atom or an aminal at the same atom. Based on the various outcomes, I have placed the dyes and their reactions into five categories. Because Hugo Schiff studied the reactions between aldehydes and amines with and without various acids or alcohol, it is only proper to call each of them Schiff reactions that used various types of Schiff reagents. 相似文献

Introduction
Hyperuricemia is the greatest risk factor for gout and is caused by an overproduction and/or inefficient renal clearance of urate. The fractional renal clearance of urate (FCU, renal clearance of urate/renal clearance of creatinine) has been proposed as a tool to identify subjects who manifest inefficient clearance of urate. The aim of the present studies was to validate the measurement of FCU by using spot-urine samples as a reliable indicator of the efficiency of the kidney to remove urate and to explore its distribution in healthy subjects and gouty patients.Methods
Timed (spot, 2-hour, 4-hour, 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour) urine collections were used to derive FCU in 12 healthy subjects. FCUs from spot-urine samples were then determined in 13 healthy subjects twice a day, repeated on 3 nonconsecutive days. The effect of allopurinol, probenecid, and the combination on FCU was explored in 11 healthy subjects. FCU was determined in 36 patients with gout being treated with allopurinol. The distribution of FCU was examined in 118 healthy subjects and compared with that from the 36 patients with gout.Results
No substantive or statistically significant differences were observed between the FCUs derived from spot and 24-hour urine collections. Coefficients of variation (CVs) were both 28%. No significant variation in the spot FCU was obtained either within or between days, with mean intrasubject CV of 16.4%. FCU increased with probenecid (P < 0.05), whereas allopurinol did not change the FCU in healthy or gouty subjects. FCUs of patients with gout were lower than the FCUs of healthy subjects (4.8% versus 6.9%; P < 0.0001).Conclusions
The present studies indicate that the spot-FCU is a convenient, valid, and reliable indicator of the efficiency of the kidney in removing urate from the blood and thus from tissues. Spot-FCU determinations may provide useful correlates in studies investigating molecular mechanisms underpinning the observed range of efficiencies of the kidneys in clearing urate from the blood.Trial Registration
