The effect of neurotensin on submaximally-stimulated hepatobiliary and pancreatic secretion was studied in 6 healthy subjects. An intravenous infusion of neurotensin 1.4 ± 0.3 pmol/kg/min, designed to reproduce plasma neurotensin immunoreactivity levels within the physiological range, produced a significant increase in pancreatic bicarbonate output. Plasma concentrations of pancreatic polypeptide rose by 83 ± 16 pmol/l and were associated with a small reduction in trypsin, but no significant change in bilirubin outputs. 相似文献

We isolated 20 anonymous nuclear loci (8556 bp in total) from the Taiwan Hwamei (Garrulax taewanus), an endemic songbird of Taiwan. A panel of nine to 15 individuals with unknown relationship was used to characterize polymorphism of these loci. We identified 46 single nucleotide polymorphic sites (SNPs) in 15 polymorphic loci. Frequency of SNPs was one per every 186 bp in average. Nucleotide diversity, θ, ranged from 0.00054 to 0.00371 per locus. We also tested cross‐species applicability of these loci on 17 species from eight different passerine families. All 20 loci could be successfully amplified (ranged from one to 16 species, mean = 7.9 species). 相似文献

Gut-derived adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells were treated with sodium butyrate (NaB) at physiologically relevant concentrations. We characterized its effects on proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, adhesion to the solid support and interleukin-8 secretion. Differentiation was determined by brush border alkaline phosphatase activity. Apoptosis was assessed by acridine orange and Hoechst stains. Differentiation and apoptosis were analyzed in both adherent and floating cell populations. The transformed Caco-2 cells did not retain their malignant phenotype in the presence of NaB. They appeared to undergo a change in the phenotype induced by NaB, as indicated by reduced proliferation, enhanced differentiation, stimulation of apoptosis leading to decreased viability of cells, and stimulation of interleukin-8 secretion. Considering all the above facts and data, we postulate that Caco-2 cells cultured in NaB supplemented medium could regain the phenotypic characteristics of the phenotype of the parent cell from which originated the Caco-2 line. 相似文献

Fifteen (soil and intestinal) strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans species were typed by PCR method with the use of primers specific for repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequences. As a result, characteristic DNA fingerprints for the strains were obtained. Moreover, the genetic profiles were found to be useful for typing and distinguishing the strains of D. desulfuricans. According to cluster analysis, PCR with primers complementary to the sequences REP appeared to be slightly more discriminatory than PCR with ERIC primers for the investigated strains. Distinct fingerprint patterns of two isolates derived from the same patient pointed to the different origin of both strains. 相似文献

Long runs of seasonal rotifer population data allow analysis of seasonal occurrence using mathematical tools. The application of Fourier analysis to a 15 year dataset describes seasonality in simple mathematical terms. This facilitates comparison of population expression with potential population driving variables and provides a basic modelling tool. Results show that annual patterns of occurrence and density have linkages with annual maximum and minimum environmental temperature, although the exact relationships are not clear. 相似文献

The chemical structure determining properties and biological functions of endotoxins derived from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans species has not been recognized, which considerably hinders the choice of an effective extraction procedure of these lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from the bacterial outer cell membrane. We aimed at selecting the most effective method of LPS isolation from D. desulfuricans in terms of the most efficient extraction solution, the appropriate conditions of isolation and adequate purification technique. For this purpose we tested a few literature-based procedures utilizing various extraction mixtures (phenol-water, phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether and Tri-Reagent, i.e. aqueous solution of guanidinum thiocyanate and phenol). The best yield and purity of the isolated LPS were provided by the application of the extraction with phenol-water according to the modified by Shnyra et.al. (2000) procedure of Westphal et. al. (1952). A satisfactory method of isolation in micro scale appeared to be that based on Tri-Reagent and propagated by Yi and Hackett in 2000. The extraction of LPS from D. desulfuricans with phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether should not be recommended due to its low efficiency. 相似文献

Introduction
HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 are two close human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele groups with minor amino acid differences. However, they are associated with two different vasculitides (HLA-B*51 in Behçet's disease and HLA-B*52 in Takayasu's arteritis (TAK)) and with major clinical and immunological differences. In this study, we aimed to screen a large cohort of TAK patients from Turkey for the presence of HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 as susceptibility and severity factors.Methods
TAK patients (n = 330) followed at a total of 15 centers were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 37.8 years, and 86% were women. DNA samples from the patients and healthy controls (HC; n = 210) were isolated, and the presence of HLA-B*51 or HLA-B*52 was screened for by using PCR with sequence-specific primers.Results
We found a significant association of HLA-B*52 with TAK (20.9% vs HC = 6.7%, P = 0.000, OR = 3.7, 95% CI = 2.02 to 6.77). The distribution of HLA-B*51 did not differ between TAK patients and HCs (22.7% vs 24.8%, OR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.60 to 1.34). The presence of HLA-B*52 decreased in late-onset patients (> 40 years of age; 12.0%, P = 0.024, OR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.20 to 0.91). Patients with angiographic type I disease with limited aortic involvement also had a lower presence of HLA-B*52 compared to those with all other disease subtypes (13.1% vs 26%, P = 0.005, OR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.23 to 0.78).Conclusions
In this study, the previously reported association of TAK with HLA-B*52 in other populations was confirmed in patients from Turkey. The functional relevance of HLA-B*52 in TAK pathogenesis needs to be explored further. 相似文献10.
