A mouse genomic clone containing a lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A)
processed pseudogene and a B1 repetitive element was isolated, and a
nucleotide sequence of approximately 3 kb was determined. The pseudogene
and B1 element are flanked by perfect 13-bp repeats, and the B1 sequence
starts at 14 nucleotides 3' to the presumptive polyadenylation signal of
the pseudogene. The nucleotide sequences of the LDH-A genes and processed
pseudogenes from mouse, rat, and human were compared, and a phylogenetic
tree was constructed. The rate and pattern of nucleotide substitutions in
the LDH-A pseudogenes are similar to previously reported results (Li et al.
1984). The average rate of nucleotide substitutions in the LDH-A
pseudogenes is 4.3 X 10(- 9)/site/year. The substitutions of C----T and
G----A are most frequent, and A----G substitutions are relatively high. The
rate of synonymous substitutions in the LDH-A genes is 5.3 X 10(-9), which
is not significantly higher than the average rate of 4.7 X 10(-9) for 35
mammalian genes. The rate of nonsynonymous substitutions in the LDH-A genes
is 0.20 X 10(-9), which is considerably lower than the average rate of 0.88
X 10(-9) for 35 mammalian genes. Thus, the mammalian LDH-A gene appears to
be highly conserved in evolution.

Background
Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) not treated with primary or rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at risk for recurrent ischemia, especially when viability in the infarct-area is present. Therefore, an invasive strategy with PCI of the infarct-related coronary artery in patients with viability would reduce the occurrence of a composite end point of death, reinfarction, or unstable angina (UA).Methods
Patients admitted with an (sub)acute myocardial infarction, who were not treated by primary or rescue PCI, and who were stable during the first 48 hours after the acute event, were screened for the study. Eventually, we randomly assigned 216 patients with viability (demonstrated with low-dose dobutamine echocardiography) to an invasive or a conservative strategy. In the invasive strategy stenting of the infarct-related coronary artery was intended with abciximab as adjunct treatment. Seventy-five (75) patients without viability served as registry group. The primary endpoint was the composite of death from any cause, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina at one year. As secondary endpoint the need for (repeat) revascularization procedures and anginal status were recorded.Results
The primary combined endpoint of death, recurrent MI and unstable angina was 7.5% (8/106) in the invasive group and 17.3% (19/110) in the conservative group (Hazard ratio 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.18-0.96; p = 0.032). During follow up revascularization-procedures were performed in 6.6% (7/106) in the invasive group and 31.8% (35/110) in the conservative group (Hazard ratio 0.18; 95% CI 0.13-0.43; p < 0.0001). A low rate of recurrent ischemia was found in the non-viable group (5.4%) in comparison to the viable-conservative group (14.5%). (Hazard-ratio 0.35; 95% CI 0.17-1.00; p = 0.051).Conclusion
We demonstrated that after acute MI (treated with thrombolysis or without reperfusion therapy) patients with viability in the infarct-area benefit from a strategy of early in-hospital stenting of the infarct-related coronary artery. This treatment results in a long-term uneventful clinical course. The study confirmed the low risk of recurrent ischemia in patients without viability.Trial registration

The effects of liquid fluorocarbons as bathing media were determined by use of in vitro neuromuscular preparations. Rat hemidiaphragms were bathed in either oxygenated fluorocarbon (FC) emulsion or standard oxygenated Krebs solution. Contractile force in response to simple supramaximal nerve stimuli as well as to high frequency stimulation was greater, while twitch:tetanus ratio was smaller in FC emulsion. With such medium, post-tetanic potentiation of contraction was also more consistently observed. Indirectly stimulated diaphragms survived longer in FC emulsion. After cessation of oxygenation, oxygen tension (ρO(2)) of the medium declined more rapidly with Krebs than with FC emulsion; ρO(2) directly correlated with force of contraction. Similarly, in the chick biventer cervicis preparation, FC emulsion enhanced nerve-stimulated force of contraction; returning the preparation to standard Krebs solution reversed this phenomenon. Dose-resonse curves of muscle contraction in response to acetycholine and KCl administration were shifted upward during FC emulsion superfusion. Frequency of miniature endplate potentials was lower in FC emulsion than that observed in Krebs solution, measured from the same cell of the rat diaphragm. Resting membrane potentials were also greater in muscle cells sampled from FC emulsion-bathed preparations. These data suggest that FC emulsion is superior to standard Krebs solution as a bathing medium for in vitro neuromuscular preparations by virtue of the high solubility of oxygen in it. 相似文献

Background
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are now recognized as an important cause of hospital admissions, with a proportion ranging from 0.9–7.9%. They also constitute a significant economic burden. We thus aimed at determining the prevalence and the economic burden of ADRs presenting to Medical Emergency Department (ED) of a tertiary referral center in India 相似文献16.
The scientific and medical community remains skeptical regarding the efficacy of nutrition for osteoarthritis despite their
broad acceptation by patients. In this context, this paper systematically reviews human clinical trials evaluating the effects
of nutritional compounds on osteoarthritis. We searched the Medline, Embase, and Biosis databases from their inception to
September 2005 using the terms random, double-blind method, trial, study, placebo, and osteoarthritis. We selected all peer-reviewed
articles reporting the results of randomised human clinical trials (RCTs) in osteoarthritis that investigated the effects
of oral interventions based on natural molecules. Studies on glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate were excluded. The quality
of the RCTs was assessed with an osteoarthritic-specific standardised set of 12 criteria and a validated instrument. A best-evidence
synthesis was used to categorise the scientific evidence behind each nutritional compound as good, moderate, or limited. A
summary of the most relevant in vitro and animal studies is used to shed light on the potential mechanisms of action. Inclusion criteria were met by 53 RCTs out
of the 2,026 identified studies. Good evidence was found for avocado soybean unsaponifiables. Moderate evidence was found
for methylsulfonylmethane and SKI306X, a cocktail of plant extracts. Limited evidence was found for the Chinese plant extract
Duhuo Jisheng Wan, cetyl myristoleate, lipids from green-lipped mussels, and plant extracts from Harpagophytum procumbens. Overall, scientific evidence exists for some specific nutritional interventions to provide symptom relief to osteoarthritic
patients. It remains to be investigated whether nutritional compounds can have structure-modifying effects. 相似文献

Nonglucosylated oligosaccharides are transferred to protein in MI8-5 Chinese hamster ovary cells 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
A CHO mutant MI8-5 was found to synthesize Man9-GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol rather
than Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol as the oligosaccharide-lipid intermediate
in N-glycosylation of proteins. MI8-5 cells were incubated with labeled
mevalonate, and the prenol was found to be dolichol. The mannose-labeled
oligosaccharide released from oligosaccharide-lipid of MI8-5 cells was
analyzed by HPLC and alpha-mannosidase treatment, and the data were
consistent with a structure of Man9GlcNAc2. In addition, MI8-5 cells did
not incorporate radioactivity into oligosaccharide- lipid during an
incubation with tritiated galactose, again consistent with MI8-5 cells
synthesizing an unglucosylated oligosaccharide-lipid. MI8-5 cells had
parental levels of glucosylphosphoryldolichol synthase activity. However,
in two different assays, MI8-5 cells lacked dolichol-
P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol glucosyltransferase activity. MI8-5 cells
were found to synthesize glucosylated oligosaccharide after they were
transfected with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ALG 6, the gene for
dolichol-P-Glc:Man9GlcNAc2-P-P-dolichol glucosyltransferase. MI8-5 cells
were found to incorporate mannose into protein 2-fold slower than parental
cells and to approximately a 2-fold lesser extent.

In 59 samples of periphyton and phytoplankton collected in 2002 - 2003 from the Nahal Qishon (Qishon River), northern Israel, we found 178 species from seven divisions of algae and cyanoprocaryotes. Diatoms, clorophytes, and cyanoprocaryotes prevail. Nitzschia and Navicula (Bacillariophyta) are the most abundant. Most of the species are cosmopolitan or widespread, except Lagynion janei (Chrysophyta), which is endemic for the Mediterranean Realm. About 17% of species (26) are new for Israel and five of them represent the first recorded genera: Crinalium endophyticum Crow, Actinocyclus normanii (Gregory) Hustedt, Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum (Agardh) Kütz (Chlorophyta), Lagynion janei Bourelly, and Stylococcus aureus Chodat. Most of them come from a rare riverine assemblage with red alga Audouinella pygmea, as well as from the estuarine assemblage. Alkaliphiles predominate among the indicators of acidity, with few acidophiles confined to the communities under the impact of industrial wastes. Among the indicators of salinity, most numerous are the oligohalobien-indifferents and species adapted to a moderate salinity level. The relative species richness of ecological groups and the indices of saprobity are correlated with changes in conductivity, pH, and N-nitrate concentration. Indicators of organic pollution fall in the range of betameso- to alfamesosaprobic self-purification grades. Our studies show ecological significance of the Nahal Qishon as a model for a strongly disturbed aquatic ecosystem in the coastal zone of eastern Mediterranean. 相似文献

Toto bodies are eosinophilic structures that resemble the cells of the superficial cell layer of the oral epithelium. Toto bodies commonly are associated with inflammatory gingival and other mucosal lesions including pyogenic granuloma, irritational fibroma, epulis fissuratum, peripheral giant cell granuloma and inflammatory hyperplastic gingivitis. We evaluated staining characteristics of Toto bodies to establish their origin and to identify their significance in lesions. We investigated pyogenic granuloma, fibroma and leukoplakia with epithelium that exhibited Toto bodies after hematoxylin and eosin (staining. Sections were stained with Alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff and Ayoub-Shklar stains to evaluate staining intensity and distribution. More Toto bodies were found in pyogenic granuloma than in fibroma and leukoplakia. PAS and Alcian blue staining exhibited mild intensity and did not establish the origin of Toto bodies. High staining intensity and diffuse distribution of stain was observed using Ayoub-Shklar staining, which indicated that Toto bodies originate from keratin. 相似文献
