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

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

In vivo nitrate reductase (NR) activity declined gradually either in absence or presence of Mg2+ In dark grown plants of spinach. The increased sensitivity of the extracted NR from the dark grown plants to Mg2+ and ATP is indicative of the post-translational modification as one of the mechanisms to control NR activity. The response of extracted NR was gradual and not instantaneous suggesting a complex interplay of NR regulation, as the dark acclimatized plants when exposed to light caused significant nitrate reduction within 15 min of light exposures even in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP. 相似文献

Magnetic isolation is a promising method for separating and concentrating pancreatic islets of Langerhans for transplantation in Type 1 diabetes patients. We are developing a continuous magnetic islet sorter to overcome the restrictions of current purification methods that result in limited yield and viability. In Quadrupole Magnetic Sorting (QMS) islets are magnetized by infusing superparamagnetic microbeads into islets' vasculature via arteries that serve the pancreas. The performance of the islet sorter depends on the resulting speed of the islets in an applied magnetic field, a property known as magnetophoretic mobility. Essential to the design and successful operation of the QMS is a method to measure the magnetophoretic mobilities of magnetically infused islets. We have adapted a Magnetic Particle Tracking Velocimeter (MPTV) to measure the magnetophoretic mobility of particles up to 1,000 μm in diameter. Velocity measurements are performed in a well-characterized uniform magnetic energy gradient using video imaging followed by analysis of the video images with a computer algorithm that produces a histogram of absolute mobilities. MPTV was validated using magnetic agarose beads serving as islet surrogates and subjecting them to QMS. Mobility distributions of labeled porcine islets indicated that magnetized islets have sufficient mobility to be captured by the proposed sorting method, with this result confirmed in test isolations of magnetized islets. 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.

Background
Coffee is an important crop and is crucial to the economy of many developing countries, generating around US70 billion per year. There are 115 species in the < i > Coffea < /i > genus, but only two, < i > C. arabica < /i > and < i > C. canephora < /i > , are commercially cultivated. Coffee plants are attacked by many pathogens and insect-pests, which affect not only the production of coffee but also its grain quality, reducing the commercial value of the product. The main insect-pest, the coffee berry borer ( < i > Hypotheneumus hampei < /i > ), is responsible for worldwide annual losses of around US70 billion per year. There are 115 species in the Coffea genus, but only two, C. arabica and C. canephora, are commercially cultivated. Coffee plants are attacked by many pathogens and insect-pests, which affect not only the production of coffee but also its grain quality, reducing the commercial value of the product. The main insect-pest, the coffee berry borer (Hypotheneumus hampei), is responsible for worldwide annual losses of around US500 million. The coffee berry borer exclusively damages the coffee berries, and it is mainly controlled by organochlorine insecticides that are both toxic and carcinogenic. Unfortunately, natural resistance in the genus Coffea to H. hampei has not been documented. To overcome these problems, biotechnological strategies can be used to introduce an α-amylase inhibitor gene (α-AI1), which confers resistance against the coffee berry borer insect-pest, into C. arabica plants. 相似文献9.
Although numerous reactions have been performed using lipases and related enzymes (e.g. esterases and phospholipases), it is still a challenge to identify the most suitable biocatalyst and best reaction conditions for an efficient application. Frequently used methods such as immobilization and optimization of the reaction medium cannot be transferred from one reaction system or substrate to another. However, in the past few years, rational protein design and directed evolution have emerged as efficient alternative methods to optimize biocatalytic reactions. 相似文献
