BackgroundLeft-sided ablation, targeting left inferior AV nodal extensions, is thought to be necessary for success in a small proportion of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablations; however Indian data are scarce in this regard.MethodsConsecutive cases of AVNRT undergoing slow pathway ablation in a single centre over an 18-month period were retrospectively analyzed. Left-sided ablation at the posteroseptal mitral annulus was performed if right-sided ablation failed to abolish AVNRT.ResultsFrom January 2017 to June 2018, out of 215 consecutive supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) cases, 154 (71.6%) were AVNRT (47.1 ± 13.1 years, 46.1% male). Trans-septal ablation was required in 5 (3.2%) cases (mean age 48.8 ± 9.4 years; 4 female, 1 male); all with typical (slow-fast) form of AVNRT. Compared with cases needing only right-sided ablation, radiofrequency time (50.8 ± 16.9 vs. 9.9 ± 8.5 min; p = 0.005) and procedure time (166.0 ± 35.0 vs 79.6 ± 35.9 min; p = 0.004) were significantly longer for trans-septal cases, while baseline intervals and tachycardia cycle length were not significantly different. Junctional ectopy was seen in only 2 of the 5 cases during left-sided ablation, but acute success (non-inducibility) was obtained in 3 cases. There were no instances of AV block. Over mean follow-up of 12.2 ± 4.0 months, clinical recurrence of AVNRT occurred in one case, while others remained arrhythmia-free without medication.ConclusionLeft-sided ablation was required in a small proportion of AVNRT ablations. Trans-septal approach targeting the posteroseptal mitral annulus was safe and yielded good mid-term clinical success. 相似文献

Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays a role in host defense by upregulating both innate and acquired immune responses. Analysis of IL18 polymorphisms may be clinically important since their roles have been recognized in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, the role of this cytokine polymorphisms in kidney transplant still remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the associations between IL18 polymorphisms and graft function assessed by creatinine clearance in kidney transplant recipients. A total of 82 kidney transplant recipients and 183 healthy controls were enrolled, and frequencies of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes for IL18 polymorphisms were determined and compared with creatinine clearance. The -607C/A (rs1946518) and -137C/G (rs187238) variant alleles in the IL18 gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction. In our study, no significant association was found between the IL18 variants and creatinine clearance (p > 0.05). Nonetheless, polymorphism analysis revealed an increase in the frequency of the IL18 major haplotype -607C/-137G in kidney transplant patients (odds ratio 2.57, 95% confidence interval 1.45–4.55, p = 0.0014). Finally, we found that IL18 polymorphisms did not influence the renal function and that IL18 haplotype -607C/-137G seems to be associated with kidney transplant recipients. 相似文献

Evolution of the Adh locus in the Drosophila willistoni group: the loss of an intron, and shift in codon usage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report here the DNA sequence of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (Adh)
cloned from Drosophila willistoni. The three major findings are as follows:
(1) Relative to all other Adh genes known from Drosophila, D. willistoni
Adh has the last intron precisely deleted; PCR directly from total genomic
DNA indicates that the deletion exists in all members of the willistoni
group but not in any other group, including the closely related saltans
group. Otherwise the structure and predicted protein are very similar to
those of other species. (2) There is a significant shift in codon usage,
especially compared with that in D. melanogaster Adh. The most striking
shift is from C to U in the wobble position (both third and first
position). Unlike the codon-usage-bias pattern typical of highly biased
genes in D. melanogaster, including Adh, D. willistoni has nearly 50% G + C
in the third position. (3) The phylogenetic information provided by this
new sequence is in agreement with almost all other molecular and
morphological data, in placing the obscura group closer to the melanogaster
group, with the willistoni group farther distant but still clearly within
the subgenus Sophophora.

Background
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is a collection of nine genotypically distinct but phenotypically similar species. They show wide ecological diversity and include species that are used for promoting plant growth and bio-control as well species that are opportunistic pathogens of vulnerable patients. Over recent years the Bcc have emerged as problematic pathogens of the CF lung. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is another important CF pathogen. It is able to synthesise hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a potent inhibitor of cellular respiration. We have recently shown that HCN production by P. aeruginosa may have a role in CF pathogenesis. This paper describes an investigation of the ability of bacteria of the Bcc to make HCN. 相似文献76.

An exception to the generally conservative nature of plastid gene evolution
is the gene coding for the beta" subunit of RNA polymerase, rpoC2. Previous
work by others has shown that maize and rice have an insertion in the
coding region of rpoC2, relative to spinach and tobacco. To assess the
distribution of this extra coding sequence, we surveyed a broad
phylogenetic sample comprising 55 species from 17 angiosperm families by
using Southern hybridization. The extra coding sequence is restricted to
the grasses (Poaceae). DNA sequence analysis of 11 species from all five
subfamilies within the grass family demonstrates that the extra sequence in
the coding region of rpoC2 is a repetitive array that exhibits more than a
twofold increase in nucleotide substitution, as well as a large number of
insertion/deletion events, relative to the adjacent flanking sequences. The
structure of the array suggests that slipped-strand mispairing causes the
repeated motifs and adds to the mechanisms through which the coding
sequence of plastid genes are known to evolve. Phylogenetic analyses based
on the sequence data from grass species support several relationships
previously suggested by morphological work, but they are ambiguous about
broad relationships within the family.

The larynx is the most common site of malignancy in the upper aerodigestive tract. In Brazil, malignant laryngeal lesions represent 2% of all cancers, with ∼3000 annual deaths. The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and laryngeal cancer is still controversial. The aim of the present retrospective study was to determine the expression of galectin-3 immunoperoxidase in laryngeal carcinoma by examining paraffin-embedded larynx biopsies from 65 patients, 10 in situ laryngeal carcinomas, 27 laryngeal carcinomas without metastases, and 28 with metastases. Twenty-eight cervical lymph nodes from patients with metastatic lesions were also evaluated. Nested PCR was performed to detect and type HPV DNA. Galectin-3 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry using a computer-assisted system. Among 65 patients, 55 (84.6%) were positive to beta-globin (internal control); 10 (15.4%) patients were beta-globin negative and were excluded from the HPV evaluation. Thus, 7 (12.7%) out of 55 patients were HPV positive and 48 (87.3%) out of 55 patients were HPV negative. High expression of galectin-3 was observed in invasive laryngeal tumors, suggesting that galectin-3 could be associated with the invasiveness and aggressiveness of laryngeal carcinomas.
