DNA microarrays are being used to comprehensively examine gene expression networks during the plant defense response that is triggered when a plant encounters a pathogen or an elicitor molecule. In addition to identifying new genes induced during defense, these studies are providing new insights into the complex pathways governing defense gene regulation. 相似文献

The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) is a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) versus carotid artery stenting (CAS) as prevention for stroke in patients with symptomatic stenosis greater than or equal to 50%. CREST is sponsored by the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), with additional support by a device manufacturer, and will provide data to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for evaluation of a stent device. Because of budget constraints for CREST, Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) reimbursement for hospital costs incurred by CREST patients will be essential. The involvement of academic scientists, industry, and three separate government agencies (NIH, FDA, HCFA) has presented many challenges in conducting the trial. A review of the pathways followed to meet these challenges may be helpful to others seeking to facilitate sharing of the costs and burdens of conducting innovative clinical research. 相似文献

The study was a Phase II randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of new agents for the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma.
Patients were randomized to receive single agent chemotherapy with mitoxantrone, etoposide, aclacinomycin-A or spirogermanium.
The patients were stratified by prior use of chemotherapy, prior doxorubicin use and ECOG performance status. Patients with
a history of cardiac disease or prior doxorubicin exceeding a dose of 400 mg/m2 were restrictively randomized to sopirogermanium or etoposide only. One hundred and fourteen patients were registered for
the study. Among 98 evaluable patients there were only two partial responses (both in the etoposide arm), and one complete
response in the mitoxantrone arm. The median survival on the study was 3.3 months. One hundred and six patients were analyzable
for toxicity. There were four treatment-related deaths and four life-threatening toxicities. Because of low response rates
and relatively high toxicities the studied compounds were not deemed worth further investigation for advanced gastric cancer. 相似文献

Evolutionary relatedness of some primate models of Plasmodium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Primate--and, specifically, monkey--malaria infections are commonly used
for understanding the pathology of and immune response to the human disease
because they are thought to resemble most closely the host-parasite
relationship found in humans. Plasmodium cynomolgi is used extensively as a
model for the human parasite, P. vivax, and P. knowlesi is used primarily
as a model for the development of erythrocytic-stage vaccines. Both of
these simian parasites can naturally infect man, resulting in mildly
symptomatic episodes of the disease. The phylogenetic relationship between
these two simian parasites and previously characterized Plasmodium species,
including P. vivax, was examined by comparison of the asexually expressed
small- subunit ribosomal RNA genes. Our analysis confirmed that P. vivax is
most closely related to P. cynomolgi and that it remains an appropriate
model of the human pathogen. Furthermore, with P. knowlesi and P. fragile,
these two species form a group of closely related species, distant from
other Plasmodium species. What is considered to be the most ancient of the
human malaria pathogens, P. malariae, was also included in the analysis and
does not group at all with other simian or human parasites.

The preparation and performance of a disposable amperometric immunosensor, based on the use of a selective capture antibody and screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs), for the specific detection and quantification of sulfonamide residues in milk is reported. The antibody was covalently immobilized onto a 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) film grafted on the disposable electrode, and a direct competitive immunoassay using a tracer with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for the enzymatic labeling was performed. The amperometric response measured at -0.2 V vs the silver pseudo-reference electrode of the SPCE upon the addition of H(2)O(2) in the presence of hydroquinone (HQ) as mediator was used as transduction signal. The developed methodology showed very low limits of detection (in the low ppb level) for 6 sulfonamide antibiotics tested in untreated milk samples, and a good selectivity against other families of antibiotics residues frequently detected in milk and dairy products. These features, together with the short analysis time (30 min), the simplicity, and easy automation and miniaturization of the required instrumentation make the developed methodology a promising alternative in the development of devices for on-site analysis. 相似文献

R1 is a non-long terminal repeat (non-LTR) retrotransposable element that
inserts into a specific sequence of insect 28S ribosomal RNA genes. We have
previously shown that this element has been maintained through vertical
transmission in the melanogaster species subgroup of Drosophila. To address
whether R1 elements have been vertically transmitted for longer periods of
evolutionary time, the analysis has been extended to 11 other species from
four species groups of the genus Drosophila (melanogaster, obscura,
testecea, and repleta). All sequenced elements appeared functional on the
basis of the preservation of their open-reading frames and consistently
higher rate of substitution at synonymous sites relative to replacement
sites. The phylogenetic relationships of the R1 elements from all species
analyzed were congruent with the species phylogenies, suggesting that the
R1 elements have been vertically transmitted since the inception of the
Drosophila genus, an estimated 50-70 Mya. The stable maintenance of R1
through the germ line appears to be the major mechanism for the widespread
distribution of these elements in Drosophila. In two species, D.
neotestecea of the testecea group and D. takahashii of the melanogaster
group, a second family of R1 elements was also present that differed in
sequence by 46% and 31%, respectively, from the family that was congruent
with the species phylogeny. These second families may represent occasional
horizontal transfers or, alternatively, they could reflect the ability of
R1 elements to diverge into new families within a species and evolve
independently.

The patterns of synonymous codon usage in 91 Drosophila melanogaster genes
have been examined. Codon usage varies strikingly among genes. This
variation is associated with differences in G+C content at silent sites,
but (unlike the situation in mammalian genes) these differences are not
correlated with variation in intron base composition and so are not easily
explicable in terms of mutational biases. Instead, those genes with high
G+C content at silent sites, resulting from a strong "preference" for a
particular subset of the codons that are mostly C- ending, appear to be the
more highly expressed genes. This suggests that G+C content is reduced in
sequences where selective constraints are weaker, as indeed seen in a
pseudogene. These and other data discussed are consistent with the effects
of translational selection among synonymous codons, as seen in unicellular
organisms. The existence of selective constraints on silent substitutions,
which may vary in strength among genes, has implications for the use of
silent molecular clocks.
