BackgroundFamilies in high mortality settings need regular contact with high quality services, but existing population-based measurements of contacts do not reflect quality. To address this, in 2012, we designed linked household and frontline worker surveys for Gombe State, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Uttar Pradesh, India. Using reported frequency and content of contacts, we present a method for estimating the population level coverage of high quality contacts.ConclusionsMeasuring content of care to reflect the quality of contacts can reveal missed opportunities to deliver best possible health care. 相似文献

Background
Pichia stipitis xylose reductase (Ps-XR) has been used to design Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that are able to ferment xylose. One example is the industrial S. cerevisiae xylose-consuming strain TMB3400, which was constructed by expression of P. stipitis xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase and overexpression of endogenous xylulose kinase in the industrial S. cerevisiae strain USM21. 相似文献37.
Reduced natural selection associated with low recombination in Drosophila melanogaster 总被引:8,自引:1,他引:7
Synonymous codons are not used equally in many organisms, and the extent of
codon bias varies among loci. Earlier studies have suggested that more
highly expressed loci in Drosophila melanogaster are more biased,
consistent with findings from several prokaryotes and unicellular
eukaryotes that codon bias is partly due to natural selection for
translational efficiency. We link this model of varying selection intensity
to the population-genetics prediction that the effectiveness of natural
selection is decreased under reduced recombination. In analyses of 385 D.
melanogaster loci, we find that codon bias is reduced in regions of low
recombination (i.e., near centromeres and telomeres and on the fourth
chromosome). The effect does not appear to be a linear function of
recombination rate; rather, it seems limited to regions with the very
lowest levels of recombination. The large majority of the genome apparently
experiences recombination at a sufficiently high rate for effective natural
selection against suboptimal codons. These findings support models of the
Hill-Robertson effect and genetic hitchhiking and are largely consistent
with multiple reports of low levels of DNA sequence variation in regions of
low recombination.

Kappa-chain constant-region gene sequences in genus Rattus: coding regions are diverging more rapidly than noncoding regions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 1,200-base pair (bp)
genomic fragment that includes the kappa-chain constant-region gene (C
kappa) from two species of native Australian rodents, Rattus leucopus
cooktownensis and Rattus colletti. Comparison of these sequences with each
other and with other rodent C kappa genes shows three surprising features.
First, the coding regions are diverging at a rate severalfold higher than
that of the nearby noncoding regions. Second, replacement changes within
the coding region are accumulating at a rate at least as great as that of
silent changes. Third, most of the amino acid replacements are localized in
one region of the C kappa domain--namely, the carboxy-terminal "bends" in
the alpha-carbon backbone. These three features have previously been
described from comparisons of the two allelic forms of C kappa genes in R.
norvegicus. These data imply the existence of considerable evolutionary
constraints on the noncoding regions (based on as yet undetermined
functions) or powerful positive selection to diversify a portion of the
constant-region domain (whose physiological significance is not known).
These surprising features of C kappa evolution appear to be characteristic
only of closely related C kappa genes, since comparison of rodent with
human sequences shows the expected greater conservation of coding regions,
as well as a predominance of silent nucleotide substitutions within the
coding regions.

Physiological and structural changes in cells of Synechocystis aquatilis f. aquatilis acclimated to grow in the presence of high zinc levels (2.20–3.30 mg·L?1) were investigated. Growth of these cells showed a decreased specific growth rate and final yield of about 60% and 50%, respectively, of the values found for cells grown in the presence of 0.21 mg zinc·L?1 (control culture). The higher the zinc concentration in the culture medium, the more pronounced the reduction in the chl a content. Regardless of zinc concentration, S. aquatilis possessed three distinct carotenoids. A decrease in carotenoid content accompanied the decrease of chl a, and the proportions of the pigments to each other were not affected by zinc. The photosynthetic performance of cells cultured in the presence of high zinc levels showed a decline in both the apparent photosynthetic efficiency and the photosynthetic maximal rate. In these cells the PSII reaction centers became partially closed, and the electron transport activity around PSII and PSI was reduced to 61% and 38% of the control values, respectively, which may indicate an altered PSII/PSI stoichiometry. In addition, electron micrographs revealed a reduced amount of thylakoid membranes, indicating that acclimation to high zinc levels led to a decrease in the overall number of photosynthetic units. On the other hand, light microscopic observation of negative‐stained cells revealed the presence of a thick mucilaginous layer surrounding the high zinc‐acclimated cells. This extracellular material could retain high amounts of metal ions from the medium, thus providing the Synechocystis cells a mechanism to circumvent toxic levels of zinc. 相似文献
