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

Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim nation in the world, has started to finally experience and confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The country had been relatively safe from any indigenous HIV cases for around two decades, with most of the infections being attributable to deported HIV positive migrants from the Gulf States. However, the virus finally seems to have found a home-base, as evidenced by the recent HIV outbreaks among the injection drug user community. Extremely high-risk behavior has also been documented among Hijras (sex workers) and long-distance truck drivers. The weak government response coupled with the extremely distressing social demographics of this South-Asian republic also helps to compound the problem. The time is ripe now to prepare in advance, to take the appropriate measures to curtail further spread of the disease. If this opportunity is not utilized right now, little if at all could be done later. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpr interacts with antiapoptotic mitochondrial protein HAX-1 下载免费PDF全文

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 viral protein R (Vpr) is required for viral pathogenesis and has been implicated in T-cell apoptosis through its activation of caspase 3 and caspase 9 and perturbation of mitochondrial membrane potential. To understand better Vpr-mitochondria interaction, we report here the identification of antiapoptotic mitochondrial protein HAX-1 as a novel Vpr target. We show that Vpr and HAX-1 physically associate with each other. Overexpression of Vpr in cells dislocates HAX-1 from its normal residence in mitochondria and creates mitochondrion instability and cell death. Conversely, overexpression of HAX-1 suppressed the proapoptotic activity of Vpr. 相似文献

We describe the development of a new type of scaffold to target RNA structures. Multivalent binding oligomers (MBOs) are molecules in which multiple sidechains extend from a polyamine backbone such that favorable RNA binding occurs. We have used this strategy to develop MBO-based inhibitors to prevent the association of a protein–RNA complex, Tat–TAR, that is essential for HIV replication. In vitro binding assays combined with model cell-based assays demonstrate that the optimal MBOs inhibit Tat–TAR binding at low micromolar concentrations. Antiviral studies are also consistent with the in vitro and cell-based assays. MBOs provide a framework for the development of future RNA-targeting molecules. 相似文献

A 25-year-old previously asymptomatic pregnant woman at 36 weeks'' gestation was noticed to have repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. A dilated left ventricle with moderately reduced systolic function was found on echocardiographic examination. This is a very rare presentation of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCMP) presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. 相似文献

A recently silenced, duplicate PgiC locus in Clarkia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous electrophoretic analysis showed that 17 diploid species of the
wildflower Clarkia (Onagraceae) have two cytosolic isozymes of
phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC; EC 5.3.1.9), whereas 15 other diploid
species have a single PGIC. Molecular studies revealed that the two
isozymes in the former species are encoded by duplicate genes, PgiC1 and
PgiC2, whereas the single isozyme in the latter is always encoded by PgiC1.
Phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences implied that PgiC2 was
silenced four times independently in the genus. Here we describe a psi
PgiC2 from C. mildrediae, a species in which only PgiC1 is expressed. The
discovery of the psi PgiC2 is significant because it confirms a formal
prediction of the phylogenetic analysis. The psi PgiC2 includes 5,039
nucleotides corresponding to 18 of the 23 exons of PgiC, as well as the
intervening introns and 3' nontranslated region. The absence of an increase
of nucleotide substitutions in its "exons" suggests that the gene was
silenced recently. The present study appears to be the first to establish
that a specific duplicate gene locus regularly expressed in a group of
related plant species has been silenced in one of them. The multiple
independent silencings of PgiC2 suggest that it remained functional but
inessential in ancestral lineages. We discuss the possibility that PgiC2
may have been preserved in these lineages by selection against mutants
causing defective PGIC1- PGIC2 heterodimers.
