Current Status of Cereal Root Diseases in Western Australia Under Intensive Cereal Production and Their Comparison with the Historical Survey Conducted During 1976–1982

Two separate surveys of root diseases of cereals in the Western Australian (WA) cereal belt were conducted: the first conducted annually for wheat and barley during 1976–1982 and the second for wheat during 2005–2007. For the 1976–1982 survey, the cereal belt was divided into 15 zones based on the location and rainfall. Sampling was representative of the actual cropping area, with both wheat and barley sampling sites selected by zone as a percentage of total sites. Over 31 000 plants were assessed from a total of 996 fields. Average take‐all incidence ranged from 3% in the northern low rainfall zone to 57% in the southern high rainfall zone. Other root diseases assessed included rhizoctonia root rot, fusarium crown rot and subcrown internode discolouration. During the 2005–2007 survey, around 20 000 plants from a total of 210 fields being intensively cropped with cereals were surveyed for take‐all, rhizoctonia root rot, fusarium crown rot, common root rot, root lesion nematode and cereal cyst nematode. The 2005–2007 survey results indicated that root and crown diseases prevailed in paddocks frequently cropped with cereals and occurred at damaging levels across all WA cropping districts surveyed. The more recent root disease survey identified that the fungal diseases rhizoctonia root rot and fusarium crown rot and the root lesion nematode were the most serious impediments to intensive cereal production, particularly in the southern region of WA. Comparing the 2005–2007 results with the previous survey of 1976–1982, the relative importance of take‐all appears to have declined over the past 30 years.     

BI-RADS 3级对乳腺病灶患者的诊断结果及影响因素分析

目的:回顾性分析超声BI-RADS 3级对乳腺病灶患者的诊断结果及影响因素。方法:选择2014年8月至2017年8月上海交通大学医学院附属第九人民医院和复旦大学附属华山医院北院收治的168例乳腺病灶患者,回顾性分析其影像学资料及病理分析结果。分析BI-RADS 3级对乳腺病灶的阴性诊断率,采用Kim分级对BI-RADS 3级结果进行重新分级,分析影响BI-RADS分级及重新分级的主要因素。结果:168例BI-RADS 3级乳腺病灶中,159例为良性病变,9例为恶性。168例BI-RADS 3级乳腺病灶的阳性预测值为5.4%(9/168),阴性预测值为94.6%(159/168)。病灶数目、年龄、医师年资、病灶大小对BI-RADS 3级良恶性乳腺病灶判断无明显影响,而BI-RADS 3级恶性乳腺病灶较良性病灶更易触诊(P 0.05)。重新分级发现,124例仍为BI-RADS 3级,44例上升至BI-RADS 4级,重新分级恶性病灶的检出率为100%(9/9),假阳性率为20.8%(35/168)。病灶多发、年龄≥40岁更可能评估为BI-RADS 4级(P0.05),医师年资、病灶大小、病灶触及情况对重新分级无明显影响(P0.05)。结论:BI-RADS 3级对乳腺良性病灶有较高的阴性诊断率,重新分级可提高乳腺恶性病灶的检出率,但会造成较高的假阳性率,影响BI-RADS分级的主要因素为病灶可否扪及,影响重新分级的主要因素为患者年龄及乳腺病灶是否多发。

人乳头瘤病毒分型检测在宫颈病变中的研究进展

宫颈癌是感染性疾病,HPV感染是宫颈癌发生的主要因素。宫颈上皮内留样病变(CIN)是宫颈浸润癌演变发展过程中的癌前病变阶段,研究发现大多数CIN伴有人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染,不同HPV亚型的致病力不同,因此不同亚型的HPV感染可以导致不同的宫颈病变。对CIN早诊、早治是降低宫颈癌发生率和死亡率的关键,临床上应用HPV亚型检测对宫颈病变的初筛及治疗追踪具有重要意义。

The exocyst subunit Exo70B1 is involved in the immune response of Arabidopsis thaliana to different pathogens and cell death

Components of the vesicle trafficking machinery are central to the immune response in plants. The role of vesicle trafficking during pre-invasive penetration resistance has been well documented. However, emerging evidence also implicates vesicle trafficking in early immune signaling. Here we report that Exo70B1, a subunit of the exocyst complex which mediates early tethering during exocytosis is involved in resistance. We show that exo70B1 mutants display pathogen-specific immuno-compromised phenotypes. We also show that exo70B1 mutants display lesion-mimic cell death, which in combination with the reduced responsiveness to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) results in complex immunity-related phenotypes.     

Ultraviolet photoproducts at the ochre suppressor mutation site in the glnU gene of Escherichia coli: relevance to "mutation frequency decline"

Summary Ochre suppressor mutations induced by UV in the Escherichia coli glnU tRNA gene are CG to TA transitions at the first letter of the anticodon-encoding triplet, CAA. Premutational UV photoproducts at this site have long been known to exhibit an excision repair anomaly (mutation frequency decline or MFD), whereby post-irradiation inhibition of protein synthesis enhances their excision and reduces suppressor mutation yields ten-fold. We sought to clarify the basis of this unique repair response by determining the spectrum of UV photoproducts on both strands of a 36 by region of glnU which includes the anticodon-encoding triplet. We found that four different photolesions are produced within the 3 by sequence corresponding to the tRNA anticodon: (i) on the transcribed strand, TC (6–4) photoproducts and TC cyclobutane dimers are formed in equal numbers at the site of the C to T transition, indicating that this site is a hotspot for the usually less frequent (6–4) photoproduct; (ii) on the nontranscribed strand, TT dimers are found opposite the second and third letters of the anticodon-encoding triplet, adjacent to the mutation site; and (iii) on the nontranscribed strand, an alkali-sensitive lesion other than a (6–4) photoproduct is formed, apparently at the G in the mutation site. We suggest that mutation frequency decline may reflect excision repair activity at closely spaced UV lesions on opposite strands, resulting in double-strand breaks and the death of potential mutants.     

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Function in the Rat Striatum Is Under the Double Influence of Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic and Thalamostriatal Inputs: Two Modes of Regulation?

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), gamma-[3H]-aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) high-affinity uptake into synaptosomes, and endogenous GABA content were measured in the rat striatum 2-3 weeks following 6-hydroxydopamine injection in the ipsilateral substantia nigra to destroy the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway and after kainic acid injection into the centromedial-parafascicular complex of the ipsilateral thalamus to lesion the thalamostriatal input. Both lesions resulted in apparent GAD increase concomitant with a decreased [3H]GABA uptake into striatal synaptosomes. GABA content was increased selectively following the dopaminergic lesion. Kinetic analysis of the uptake process for [3H]GABA showed selectively a decreased Vmax following the dopaminergic lesion; in animals with thalamic lesion, however, the change only concerned the Km, which showed a decreased affinity of the transport sites for [3H]GABA. Determination of Km and Vmax for GAD action on its substrate glutamic acid showed an increased affinity of GAD for glutamic acid in the case of the dopaminergic lesion without any change in Vmax, whereas the thalamic lesion resulted in GAD increase concomitant with a selective increase in Vmax. These data suggest that striatal GABA neurons are under the influence of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons which may reduce the GABA turnover, whereas the exact nature of the powerful control also revealed on these neurons following thalamic lesion remains to be determined. Both lesions induced adaptive neurochemical responses of striatal GABA neurons, possibly reflecting in the case of the dopaminergic deprivation an increased GABA turnover.
