Three satellite DNA families were identified in three species of burying
beetles, Nicrophorus orbicollis, N. marginatus, and N. americanus. Southern
hybridization and nucleotide sequence analysis of individual randomly
cloned repeats shows that these satellite DNA families are highly abundant
in the genome, are composed of unique repeats, and are species-specific.
The repeats do not have identifiable core elements or substructures that
are similar in all three families, and most interspecific sequence
similarity is confined to homopolymeric runs of A and T. Satellite DNA from
N. marginatus and N. americanus show single-base-pair indels among repeats,
but single-nucleotide substitutions characterize most of the repeat
variability. Although the repeat units are of similar lengths (342, 350,
and 354 bp) and A + T composition (65%, 71%, and 71%, respectively), the
average nucleotide divergence among sequenced repeats is very low (0.18%,
1.22%, and 0.71%, respectively). Transition/transversion ratios from the
consensus sequence are 0.20, 0.69, and 0.70, respectively.

Summary A good correlation was found between in vivo and in vitro responses of peripheral MNC from breast cancer patients and the NK boosting effect of human IFN. In vitro immunochemotherapy studies showed that marked antitumor effects were obtained against cultured cancer cells when a widely used chemotherapeutic agent such as 5-FU was combined with nonsensitized spontaneously cytolytic MNC, preactivated in vitro with IFN. These results suggest that the in vitro susceptibility assay of MNC to IFNs could be used for predicting favorable responses to immunochemotherapy regimens employing IFNs as immunomodulating agents.

In order to identify pathogenic correlates of refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA), antibodies against anti-cyclic citrullinated
protein (ACPAs) were investigated in RA patients in whom the dysregulated immune system had been ablated by high-dose chemotherapy
(HDC) and autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Six patients with refractory RA were extensively characterized
in terms of levels of total immunoglobulins, RA-specific autoantibodies (ACPAs and rheumatoid factor) and antibodies against
rubella, tetanus toxoid (TT) and phosphorylcholine before and after HDC plus HSCT. Additionally, the avidity of ACPAs was
measured before and after treatment and compared with the avidity of TT antibodies following repeated immunizations. Synovial
biopsies were obtained by arthroscopy before HDC plus HSCT, and analyzed by immunohistochemistry. In the three patients with
clinically long-lasting responses to HDC plus HSCT (median 423 days), significant reductions in ACPA-IgG levels after therapy
were observed (median level dropped from 215 to 34 arbitrary units/ml; P = 0.05). In contrast, stable ACPA-IgG levels were observed in three patients who relapsed shortly after HDC plus HSCT (median
of 67 days). Clinical responders had ACPA-IgG of lower avidity (r = 0.75; P = 0.08) and higher degree of inflammation histologically (r = 0.73; P = 0.09). Relapse (after 38 to 530 days) in all patients was preceded by rising levels of low avidity ACPA-IgG (after 30 to
388 days), in contrast to the stable titres of high avidity TT antibodies. In conclusion, humoral autoimmune responses were
differentially modulated by immunoablative therapy in patients with synovial inflammation and low avidity ACPA-IgG autoantibodies
as compared with patients with high levels of high avidity ACPA-IgG. The distinct clinical disease course after immunoablative
therapy based on levels and avidity of ACPA-IgG indicates that refractory RA is not a single disease entity. 相似文献

Polarized light based scheme to monitor column performance in a continuous foam fractionation column
Background
A polarized light scattering technique was used to monitor the performance of a continuously operated foam fractionation process. The S 11 and S 12 parameters, elements of the light scattering matrix, combined together (S 11 +S 12) have been correlated with the bubble size and liquid content for the case of a freely draining foam. The performance of a foam fractionation column is known to have a strong dependence on the bubble size distribution and liquid hold up in foam. In this study the enrichment is used as a metric, representative of foam properties and column performance, and correlated to the S 11 +S 12 parameter. 相似文献27.

Extraction is one of the commonest procedures in dentistry. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the post extraction complications in patients undergoing extractions of permanent teeth. A total of 70 adult patients who had undergone dental extractions and presented with post -operative complications were included in the study and evaluated. Data collected was statistically analyzed using SPSS software and results obtained. Most of the patients with post extraction complications were in the age group of 31-40 years (21.6%), followed by 21-30 (20.2%) and 61-70 years (20.2%). Dry socket (39.19%) was the common post extraction complication in our study especially in the age group of 31-40 years. There was a statistically significant association between age of the patients and the post extraction complications (p<0.001). In our study, post extraction complications were commonly observed in age group of 31-40 years with a predilection for males. Dry socket was the most common post extraction complication. Age of the patient has a significant effect on post extraction complications. However, gender, smoking habits and systemic diseases have no influence on post extraction complications. 相似文献
