Analysis of the high- and low-spin Soret bands of horse-heart metmyoglobin complexes

Interest in the thermodynamics of the iron-binding site in hemoproteins has increased in recent years due to refinements in x-ray crystallographic studies of hemoproteins [see Deathage, J. F., Lee, R. S., Anderson, C. M. & Moffat, K. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 104 , 687–706; Heidner, E. J., Ladner, R. C. & Perutz, M. F. (1976) J. Mol. Biol. 104 , 707–722; Deathage, J. F., Lee, R.

Numerous probes have been used and provide information about the structure and thermodynamics of the binding site, but no single probe can provide the complete picture [see Iizuka, T. & Yonetani, T. (1970) Adv. Biophys. 1 , 157–182; Smith, D. W. & Williams, R. J. P. (1970) Struct. Bond. 7 , 1–45; and Spiro, T. G. (1975) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 416 , 169–189].     

Characterization of human paraoxonase 1 variants suggest that His residues at 115 and 134 positions are not always needed for the lactonase/arylesterase activities of the enzyme

Human paraoxonase 1 (h‐PON1) hydrolyzes variety of substrates and the hydrolytic activities of enzyme can be broadly grouped into three categories; arylesterase, phosphotriesterase, and lactonase. Current models of the catalytic mechanism of h‐PON1 suggest that catalytic residues H115 and H134 mediate the lactonase and arylesterase activities of the enzyme. H‐PON1 is a strong candidate for the development of catalytic bioscavenger for organophosphate poisoning in humans. Recently, Gupta et al. (Nat. Chem. Biol. 2011. 7, 120) identified amino acid substitutions that significantly increased the activity of chimeric‐PON1 variant (4E9) against some organophosphate nerve agents. In this study we have examined the effect of these (L69G/S111T/H115W/H134R/R192K/F222S/T332S) and other substitutions (H115W/H134R and H115W/H134R/R192K) on the hydrolytic activities of recombinant h‐PON1 (rh‐PON1) variants. Our results show that the substitutions resulted in a significant increase in the organophosphatase activity of all the three variants of rh‐PON1 enzyme while had a variable effect on the lactonase/arylesterase activities. The results suggest that H residues at positions 115 and 134 are not always needed for the lactonase/arylesterase activities of h‐PON1 and force a reconsideration of the current model(s) of the catalytic mechanism of h‐PON1.

Intrapleural and intravenous Corynebacterium parvum in patients with resected stage I and II non-small cell carcinoma of the lung

Summary A prospective randomized trial compared the administration of intrapleural plus intravenous Corynebacterium parvum (C. parvum) versus placebo in patients with resected Stage I and Stage II non-small cell bronchogenic carcinoma. Treatment consisted of 7 mg C. parvum injected into the pleural space and 7 mg C. parvum intravenously once between days 6 and 12 postoperatively and 7 mg intravenously every 3rd month during the 1st year. Intrapleural administration of 35 cc of saline served as the placebo and the flush after intrapleural C. parvum.Of the 303 patients entered into this study, 286 were evaluable, with an average follow-up time of 3.5 years. More complications, especially fever, were observed in patients receiving C. parvum. A fever greater than 38 °C was observed in 9% of the patients assigned to placebo and 76% of the patients assigned to C. parvum. There was no significant difference between the treatments with respect to disease-free interval or survival.M. Kaufmann, J. Stjernswärd**, A.

Convergence des référentiels de qualité et implications pour la fonction technique biomédicale

Risk management in the hospital, which is one of the referentiels of the ANAES accreditation manual, may be considered on two levels. Firstly, risk management may be approached globally, in the same way as it is tackled in the accreditation process. Secondly, risk management may be more definite. A specific risk chosen in accordance with the priorities of a particular plan may be dealt with individually. In this respect, the tranfusion process allows the risk management method to be tested and developed.
