The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the distribution of oestrogen receptor beta (ER) and androgen receptor (AR) are related to cell proliferation or correlated with the expression of progesterone receptor (PR) or oestrogen receptor alpha (ER) in the normal human endometrium. Immunohistochemical distribution of immunoreactive ER in well-characterised menstrual cycle biopsy samples was lowest in proliferative endometrial glands, highest in early secretory phase glands and maintained at ~20% throughout the rest of the menstrual cycle and was closely correlated with stromal AR and stromal ER expression. Stromal ER was not significantly altered until the menstrual phase of the cycle and was not correlated with the expression of any other antigen in the stroma or endometrial glands except stromal AR. By contrast, glandular AR immunoreactivity was below 5% early in the cycle, increased during the secretory phase and showed strong expression just before menstruation. PR and Ki-67 expression showed strong positive correlations, indicating that PR may be a potent regulator of endometrial proliferation. These data suggest that glandular ER expression is closely associated with a functional secretory role whereas glandular ER and PR are associated with proliferation; glandular AR expression may be the switch required for menstruation. 相似文献

Summary A review is presented of the occurrence of 24 abnormal hemoglobins (13 -chain variants and 11 -chain variants) in populations in the Silk Road area of Northwestern China. Most frequently occurring were Hb D-Punjab [21(GH4)GluGln] in Uygurs, Kazaks, and Khalkhas, Hb G-Taipei [22(B4)GluGly] in persons of the Han nationality, and Hb G-Coushatta [22 (B4)GluAla] in the Uygurs, Kazaks, Hans, and related nationalities. The data suggest that these variants likely originated in Central Asia, in the Han nationality of China, and in the minorities of northern China, respectively. Other variants occurred at considerably lower frequencies and were imported from other countries or arose as independent mutations. Two variants [Hb Tashikuergan or 19(AB1)AlaGlu; Hb Tianshui or 39(C5) GlnArg] were observed for the first time. The data from this study of the many variants support the movements of various populations in this area, as reported in numerous historical documents. 相似文献

Conclusion Even a cursory look at the ethnographic literature on other Northwest Coast societies reveals some striking similarities with the Tlingit way of conceptualizing aristocrats as special persons. Thus the Kwakiutl referred to their chiefs as real or complete people, who were heavier than commoners. The Coast Tsimshian called their highest aristocrats real or ripe persons, in contrast to the low-ranking ones, who were described as unhealed or green. The Coast Tshimshian also referred to their chiefs as strong, heavy, and solid like a rock. The neighboring Gitksan contrasted the chiefs, described as people who were good and clean and stayed put, with the commoners, who were said to be dirty, ignorant, and always moving around. Because spirits of the dead liked to return to persons who were clean and showed respect by giving away wealth and feasts, there was considerable moral and practical pressure on the aristocrats to remain pure, train knowledgeable and clean heirs, and continue potlatching. Finally, among the Haida, rank was tied to a wider system of symbolic classification, associating aspects of food, space, clothing, ritual pollution and the ethic of industry with attributes of seniority.While some of the symbolic associations of aristocratic status are culture specific, others are present in several, if not all, of the NWC cultures. What we need is a comparative symbology of aristocratic status, which would combine the reanalysis of the existing ethnographic data with the introduction of some new materials that can still be obtained in the field. Such work would be the best tribute to Irving Goldman himself and to our common illustrious ancestors—Franz Boas and Marcel Mauss.Sergei Kan is Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College. 相似文献

On the basis of symposium contributions onChlorella, Hibbertia, Eucalyptus, Ambrosia and on numerical approaches some fundamental problems of (bio)systematics, evolution, and taxonomic categories are discussed: Methods available for analysing affinities; conflicting evidence from phenetic, biochemical, cytogenetic and other analyses; further classification problems in cases of intermediacy, etc. While sibs of various levels and their natural hierarchy often can be objectively defined, this appears impossible for particular taxonomic levels itself (e. g. species). A single objective taxonomic system of organisms is unrealistic. Certain guiding lines for relative and practicable concepts of species and genus are proposed.Presented at the symposium Speciation and the Species Concept during the XIIth International Botanical Congress, Leningrad, July 8, 1975. 相似文献

A total of 449 grain samples, 102 barley, 169 wheat and 178 oat samples were collected from different regions of Norway from 1996–1998 crops, mainly from grain loads and silos. The samples were analysed for type A and B trichothecenes, the largest groups of mycotoxins produced by the Fusarium species, by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS). Factors affecting the presence of the different trichothecenes are discussed. Deoxynivalenol (DON) and HT-2 toxin were the trichothecenes most frequently detected, followed by T-2 toxin, nivalenol, and scirpentriol, scirpentriol being detected only in seven samples (>20 g/kg).Oats were the grain species most heavily contaminated with an incidence(% >20 g/kg) and mean concentration of positive samples of 70%(115 g/kg) for HT-2 toxin, 30% (60 g/kg) for T-2 toxin, 57%(104 g/kg) for DON, and 10% (56 g/kg) for nivalenol. The corresponding values for barley were 22% (73 g/kg), 5% (85 g/kg),17% (155 g/kg) and 6% (30 g/kg), and for wheat 1.2% (20 g/kg),0.6% (20 g/kg), 14% (53 g/kg) and 0% for HT-2, T-2, DON and nivalenol, respectively. Norwegian oats were found to contain HT-2 and T-2 toxin in concentrations that might be at threat to human health for high consumers of oats. The amount of DON was significantly lower than in the crop from previous years.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

This paper is about power, medicine andthe identity of the African as a patient of westernmedicine. From a conventional perspective and asencoded in the current quest for wholeness thatcharacterises South African biomedical discourse, theAfrican patient – like any other patient – has alwaysexisted as an authentic and subjectified being, whosetrue attributes and experiences have been denied bythe mechanistic, reductionistic and ethnocentricpractices of clinical medicine. Against this liberalhumanist perspective on the body as ontologicallyindependent of power, this paper offers a Foucaultianreading of the African patient as – like any otherpatient – contingent upon the force relations immanentwithin and relayed through the clinical practices ofbiomedicine. A quintessential form of disciplinarymicro-power, these fabricate the most intimaterecesses of the human body as manageable objects ofmedical knowledge and social consciousness to makepossible the great control strategies of repression,segmentation and liberation that are the usual focusof conventional investigations into the place andfunction of medicine in society. Since the 1930s whenthe African body first emerged as a discrete object ofa secular clinical knowledge, these have repeatedlytransformed the attributes and identity of the Africanpatient, and the paper traces this archaeology ofSouth African clinical perception from then until the1990s to show how its quest for wholeness is not anend point of discovery or liberation, but merelyanother ephemeral crystallization of socio-medicalknowledge in a constantly changing force field ofdisciplinary power. 相似文献

Electrolyte leakage was measured in hardened and nonhardened leaves of three potato species, Solanum tuberosum L., S. acaule Bitt. and S. commersonii Dun., and one interspecific cross, Alaska Frostless (S. acaule x S. tuberosum) when exposed to various subzero temperatures. The leaves were undercooled (no ice present) from 0°C to -12.5°C for 45 min and to-4°C for up to 10 d. Regardless of the degree of undercooling no injury was observed in any of the potatoes, hardened or nonhardened, for up to 12 h. After 5 d, however, electrolyte leakage was observed in hardened S. tuberosum, S. acaule and S. commersonii, and in nonhardened Alaska Frostless. After 10 d exposure all potatoes, hardened and nonhardened, showed a significant amount of electrolyte leakage as compared to their controls kept at 0°C for 10 d.Scientific Journal Series Paper No. 13842 of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, St. Paul, Minn 相似文献

Summary Theoretical studies on the necessary number of components in mixtures (for example multiclonal varieties or mixtures of lines) have been performed according to yielding ability. All theoretical investigations are based upon a Gram-Charlier frequency distribution of the component means with skewness 1 and kurtosis 2. The selected fraction p of the best components constitutes the mixture under consideration. The same selection differential S = S (p, 1, 2) can be realized by different parameter values of p, 1 and 2. Therefore, equal yield levels of the mixture can be achieved by different selected fractions p which implies different numbers of components in the mixture. Numerical results of S = S(p) for different values of 1 and 2 are presented and discussed. Of particular interest are the selected fractions p which lead to a maximal selection differential S. These results on S for large populations must be reduced in the case of finite population size. For this correction term we used an approximation B = B (p, n, 1, 2) given by Burrows (1972) where n = number of selected components. For given parameter values of 1, 2 and p, the necessary number n of components can be calculated by using the condition: Burrows-correction less than a certain percentage g of S — for example with g = 0.05 or g = 0.01. For given 1 and 2, the number n leading to a maximal selection differential S can be regarded as necessary number of components (necessary = maximum gain of selection under the given conditions). Numerical results are given for 2 = 0 and for eight situations which are defined by linear relations 2 = c 1 between skewness and kurtosis. These cases will contain all possible numerical situations for 1 and 2, which may be relevant for practical applications. The necessary number of components turns out to be nearly independent of the numerical value of the kurtosis 2. The n-intervals leading to selected fractions p from 0.01 to 0.20 approximately are: 2 n 4 for g = 0.05, 6 n 20 for g = 0.01 and 11 n 40 for g = 0.005, respectively. However, percentages g less than 0.01 would be unrealistically excessive. Therefore, following the assumptions and restrictions given in this paper one may conclude that n = 20 seems to be an appropriate upper bound for the necessary number of components in mixtures. 相似文献

Summary This paper reports our experience of molecular screening and fetal diagnosis of -thalassemia in 457 at risk couples of Italian descent. Molecular screening was carried out by dot blot analysis on amplified DNA with oligonucleotide probes complementary to the eight most common mutations in Italians [39 (CT); 6 (-A); +-87 (CG); + IVSI nt 110 (GA); IVSI nt 1 (GA); + IVSI nt 6 (TC); IVSII nt 1 (GA); + IVSII nt 745 (CG)]. By using this approach, we have been able to define the mutation in 92.8% of cases. The rest (all but four) were defined by direct sequencing and this led to the detection of nine rare mutations [76 (-C); + IVSI nt 5 (GA); + IVSI nt 5 (GC); + IVSI -1 (cod 30) (GC); +-87 (CT), -290 bp del.; +-101 (CT)], and to the characterization of a novel mutation consisting of the deletion of the G at the invariant AG of the IVSII splice acceptor site of the -globin gene ( IVSII nt 850-1 bp). In the remaining four cases, the -globin gene showed entirely normal sequences and the -globin gene cluster was intact, as indicated by Southern blot analysis. Fetal diagnosis was carried out by dot blot analysis with the oligonucleotide probes defined in the parents. The procedure is simple and reliable, and the results can be obtained within 1 week of sampling. No misdiagnosis has so far occurred. The results indicate that fetal diagnosis of -thalassemia by DNA analysis may be obtained in practically all cases (even in a population showing marked heterogeneity of -thalassemia) by the combination of dot blot analysis for detecting common mutations, and direct sequencing for defining those that are uncommon. 相似文献

UDP-GlcNAc: Man3R 2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GlcNAc-T I; EC 2.4.1.101) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of complex and hybrid N-glycans. Rat liver GlcNAc-T I has been purified more than 25,000-fold (M
r 42,000). TheV
max for the pure enzyme with [Man6(Man3)Man6](Man3)Man4GlcNAc4GlcNAc-Asn as substrate was 4.6 µmol min–1 mg–1. Structural analysis of the enzyme product by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy proved that the enzyme adds anN-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue in 1–2 linkage to the Man3Man-terminus of the substrate. Several derivatives of Man6(Man3)Man-R, a substrate for the enzyme, were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors. An unsubstituted equatorial 4-hydroxyl and an axial 2-hydroxyl on the -linked mannose of Man6(Man3)Man-R are essential for GlcNAc-T I activity. Elimination of the 4-hydroxyl of the 3-linked mannose (Man) of the substrate increases theK
M 20-fold. Modifications on the 6-linked mannose or on the core structure affect mainly theK
M and to a lesser degree theV
max, e.g., substitutions of the Man6 residue at the 2-position by GlcNAc or at the 3- and 6-positions by mannose lower theK
M, whereas various other substitutions at the 3-position increase theK
M slightly. Man6(Man3)4-O-methyl-Man4GlcNAc was found to be a weak inhibitor of GlcNAc-T I.Abbreviations BSA

The link between methylmercury (MeHg) production and decomposition of flooded organic matter was examined using an enclosure experiment. Six plastic enclosures were filled with lake water containing low concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (146µmolL–1) and MeHg (0.02ngL–1) and anchored in a lake at the Experimental Lakes Area, northwestern Ontario. Either fresh birch leaves, fresh jack pine needles, or no plant tissues at all were added to enclosures. Birch leaves decomposed 2.4 times faster than jack pine needles as measured by the total carbon decomposition by-products produced in enclosures over time. However, measured net MeHg production in enclosures containing birch leaves (0.35±0.05ng per g carbon added) was five times lower than in the enclosures containing jack pine needles (1.94±0.28ng per g carbon added). These results showed that MeHg production is not solely related to rates of organic matter decomposition, and that increases in MeHg associated with flooded birch leaves and jack pine needles resulted from the production of new MeHg as opposed to leaching of MeHg already in the plant tissues during decomposition. 相似文献

O-Methylation of simple neutral oligosaccharides is readily accomplished in dimethyl sulphoxide containing solid sodium hydroxide and methyl iodide [Cincanu I, Kerek F (1984) Carbohydr Res 131209-17]. This procedure has been extended to 2-acetamido-2-deoxy sugars and sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides. CompleteO-andN-methylation was in most cases achieved in 15 min. Esterification of carboxylic groups in uronic acids was fast and resulted in concomitant -elimination. The method is also suitable for methylation of glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids. Polysaccharides can also be methylated by this technique. Analysis of the products by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry showed no degradation products.Abbreviations lacto-N-tetraose

Summary A series of man-Chinese hamster and man-mouse somatic cell hybrids was investigated to study the localization of the genes coding for the human lysosomal enzyme -galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) and for its protective protein. Using a monoclonal antibody, raised against human placental -galactosidase, it was observed that the structural locus for the -galactosidase polypeptide is located on chromosome 3. The nature of the involvement of chromosome 22 in the expression of human -galactosidase was elucidated by metabolic labelling of the hybrids with radioactive amino acids, immunoprecipitation with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies against -galactosidase, followed by analysis via gel electrophoresis and fluorography.The data show that the presence of chromosome 22 coincides with the presence of a 32 kd protein. This polypeptide, the protective protein was previously shown to be intimately associated with human -galactosidase. In addition, the protective protein was found to be essential for the in vivo stability of -galactosidase by aggregating -galactosidase monomers into high molecular weight multimes. Both chromosome 3 and 22 are therefore necessary to obtain normal levels og -galactosidase activity in human cells. 相似文献

Microbial transformation of ginsenoside Rb1 by Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Of 49 microbial strains screened for their capabilities to transform ginsenoside Rb1, Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata produced four key metabolites: 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]- 20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (1), 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d- glucopyranosyl]-20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ol (2), 3-O-[-d-gluco- pyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (3), and 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (4), identified by TOF-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data. Metabolites 1, 3 and 4 were from the incubation with R. stolonifer, and 1 and 2 from the incubation with C. lunata. Compound 2 was identified as a new compound. 相似文献

Preparation and purification of γγ enolase (neuron-specific enolase) using high performance anion exchange chromatography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A simple and rapid method, using only two chromatographic steps, is described for the purification and preparation of enolase isoenzymes from human and beef brain extracts. In the first step, a crude enolase was obtained by chromatography on Q-Sepharose Fast Flow column. The crude fraction was then purified by high performance anion exchange chromatography on a Mono-Q column. enolase obtained in this manner was shown to be homogeneous by two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by high performance gel permeation chromatography. The yield of enolase by this method was 7–8 mg of pure enzyme per 100 g of brain. 相似文献

We have isolated an unusual T cell receptor chain cDNA clone (7.1) from a library made from RNA derived from adult thymus of C57BL/Ka mice. This cDNA clone corresponds to the appropriately processed C1 constant region exons preceded by 1.5 kb of J-C1 intron. The 7.1 coding region is extremely homologous to the C1 gene of BALB/c mice, differing at the protein level by a single deletion (alanine 139) and a single substitution. This latter change eliminates the sole N-linked sugar attachment site, providing a basis for strain-specific glycosylation patterns. The J-C1 intronic region contains two DNA segments (termed J1 and J2) that are highly reminiscent of joining (J) segments; both have potentially functional recombination and donor splice sequences flanking an open reading frame. Northern analysis suggests that 7.1 may be derived from a large, variable region-containing precursor. 相似文献

Differences in the nature of the gangliosides present in two types of Ehrlich ascites tumour (EAT) cells, the adherent and non-adherent EAT cells, were studied. Gangliosides were isolated by DEAE Sephadex column chromatography and analysed by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). The non-adherent EAT (na-EAT) cells which grow in the peritoneal cavity of mice were selected for growth on basement membrane and tissue culture plastic to give the adherent EAT (a-EAT) cells. na-EAT cells contained 1.57 nmol lipid-bound sialic acid per mg protein and at least 12 different gangliosides, including major gangliosides such as GM3, GM2, GM1, GD3, GD1a and GT1b. On the other hand, the ganglioside pattern of a-EAT cells differed significantly from that of na-EAT cells, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The content of lipid-bound sialic acid in a-EAT cells was only 0.24 nmol per mg of protein. The gangliosides in a-EAT cells were characterized as GD1a and trisialogangliosides and, significantly, a-EAT cells did not contain monosialogangliosides. Neutral glycolipids were isolated from both cell lines and their patterns were compared. In contrast to the gangliosides pattern, their neutral glycolipid patterns were similar. Glucosylceramide and lactosylceramide were the major components in both types of cells. In addition to na- and a-EAT cells, a-EAT cells were passaged in mice by intraperitoneal injection, giving rise to a third variant (c/m EAT cells). We analysed the gangliosides in c/m EAT cells to determine whether there was a change in the ganglioside pattern found in na-EAT cells. After repeated passage of c/m EAT cells in mice, the pattern of gangliosides shifted to that of na-EAT cells. Alterations of ganglioside composition may be associated with the growth environment of the murine peritoneal cavity; alternatively, a selection process may have occurred.Abbreviations EAT cells

This paper calls attention to a philosophical presupposition, coined here the continuity thesis which underlies and unites the different, often conflicting, hypotheses in the origin of life field. This presupposition, a necessary condition for any scientific investigation of the origin of life problem, has two components. First, it contends that there is no unbridgeable gap between inorganic matter and life. Second, it regards the emergence of life as a highly probable process. Examining several current origin-of-life theories. I indicate the implicit or explicit role played by the continuity thesis in each of them. In addition, I identify the rivals of the thesis within the scientific community — the almost miracle camp. Though adopting the anti-vitalistic aspect of the continuity thesis, this camp regards the emergence of life as involving highly improbable events. Since it seems that the chemistry of the prebiotic stages and of molecular self-organization processes rules out the possibility that life is the result of a happy accident, I claim that the almost miracle view implies in fact, a creationist position. 相似文献

A detailed investigation of the hydrodynamic and aggregation behaviors has been made on the -crystallins of bovine lens. Results from this study indicated that H (high-molecular-weight -crystallin) and L (low-molecular-weight -crystallin) exhibited considerable heterogeneity in their native structures and subunit polypeptides. Low-speed sedimentation equilibrium showed a heterogeneous paucidisperse system in each -crystallin fraction. Viscosity and circular dichroism studies pointed to a compact and globular shape and the presence of -sheet and -turns in these crystallins. Dissociation of H by urea and guanidinium HCl followed by reassociation during gel-filtration chromatography produced an elution pattern with two fractions corresponding to L crystallin and high-molecular-weight aggregates without the formation of native H. By contrast, under similar treatment, about 60% L reassociated into the correct native structure and the rest into high-molecular-weight fractions. Amino acid analyses of H and L and their corresponding subunit polypeptides demonstrated the close similarity of these crystallins. Trace element analyses indicated that both Ca and Mg are present in H and L crystallins and may be involved in maintaining the native quarternary structures of these proteins. 相似文献
