The purpose of the study was to investigate the potentialities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the complex of prenatal radiation diagnosis of fetal malformations. Twenty-eight female patients with suspected fetal malformations were examined. Ultrasound study was supplemented by MRI according to a specially developed protocol. Various fetal CNS malformations were diagnosed. These included the Arnold-Chiari syndrome, the Dandy-Walker syndrome, occlusive hydrocephaly, lobular holoprosencephaly, porencephaly, diaphragmatic hernias, anomalies of the abdomen and retroperitoneal space, as well as anomalies of facial structures, including median clefts, and dacryocystocele. The use of MRI in the complex prenatal radiation diagnosis makes it possible to visualize fetal malformation more clearly, contributes to the more adequate prediction of the outcome of pregnancy and to the choice of a management policy for a female patient. 相似文献

Introduction
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients share many similarities with transformed cancer cells, including spontaneous production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Altered or chronic activation of proto-oncogenic Ras family GTPases is thought to contribute to inflammation and joint destruction in RA, and abrogation of Ras family signaling is therapeutic in animal models of RA. Recently, expression and post-translational modification of Ras guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1 (RasGRF1) was found to contribute to spontaneous MMP production in melanoma cancer cells. Here, we examine the potential relationship between RasGRF1 expression and MMP production in RA, reactive arthritis, and inflammatory osteoarthritis synovial tissue and FLS. 相似文献4.

Cisplatin, doxorubicin and fluorouracil (5-FU), drugs belonging to different chemical classes, have been extensively used for chemotherapy of various cancers. Despite extensive investigations into their hepatotoxicity, there is very limited information on their effects on the structure and ultra-structure of liver cells in vivo. Here, we demonstrate for the first time, the effects of these three anticancer drugs on rat liver toxicity using both light and electron microscopy. Light microscopic observations revealed that higher doses of cisplatin and doxorubicin caused massive hepatotoxicity compared to 5-FU treatment, including dissolution of hepatic cords, focal inflammation and necrotic tissues. Interestingly, low doses also exhibited abnormal changes, including periportal fibrosis, degeneration of hepatic cords and increased apoptosis. These changes were confirmed at ultrastructural level, including vesiculated rough endoplasmic reticulum and atrophied mitochondria with ill-differentiated cisternae, dense collection of macrophages and lymphocytes as well as fibrocytes with collagenous fibrils manifesting early sign of fibrosis, especially in response to cisplatin and doxorubicin -treatment. Our results provide in vivo evidence, at ultrastructural level, of direct hepatotoxicity caused by cisplatin, doxorubicin and 5-FU at both light and electron microscopi. These results can guide the design of appropriate treatment regimen to reduce the hepatotoxic effects of these anticancer drugs. 相似文献

Three wheat samples collected in 1987 in Central Poland and naturally infected withFusarium spp were analyzed for the presence ofFusarium spp andFusarium toxins. Heads were separated into three fractions: kernels with visibleFusarium damage, healthy looking kernels, and chaff + rachis. The samples contained deoxynivalenol (2.0 – 40.0μg/g), nivalenol (O.O1μg/g), 4,7-dideoxynivalenol (0.10 – 0.15μg/g). 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (0.10–2.00 μg/g), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (O/1Oμg/g), and zearalenone (0.01–2.00μg/g). This is the first report about 15 - acetyldeoxynivalenol in European wheat and the co-occurrence of 3 - acetyldeoxynivalenol and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol in the same sample of contaminated cereals. 相似文献

Multiple duplications of yeast hexose transport genes in response to selection in a glucose-limited environment 总被引:9,自引:2,他引:9
When microbes evolve in a continuous, nutrient-limited environment, natural
selection can be predicted to favor genetic changes that give cells greater
access to limiting substrate. We analyzed a population of baker's yeast
that underwent 450 generations of glucose-limited growth. Relative to the
strain used as the inoculum, the predominant cell type at the end of this
experiment sustains growth at significantly lower steady-state glucose
concentrations and demonstrates markedly enhanced cell yield per mole
glucose, significantly enhanced high-affinity glucose transport, and
greater relative fitness in pairwise competition. These changes are
correlated with increased levels of mRNA hybridizing to probe generated
from the hexose transport locus HXT6. Further analysis of the evolved
strain reveals the existence of multiple tandem duplications involving two
highly similar, high- affinity hexose transport loci, HXT6 and HXT7.
Selection appears to have favored changes that result in the formation of
more than three chimeric genes derived from the upstream promoter of the
HXT7 gene and the coding sequence of HXT6. We propose a genetic mechanism
to account for these changes and speculate as to their adaptive
significance in the context of gene duplication as a common response of
microorganisms to nutrient limitation.

This paper analyzes a comprehensive study of 45 children treated at the Unit of Urology, Children's Republican Clinical Hospital One, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Twenty children operated on for second- and third-degree nephroptosis made up an individual group. Clinical, laboratory, and radiation studies were performed 8-25 years after surgical treatment, by using radiation diagnostic techniques, such as excretory urography, ultrasonography, dynamic scintigraphy, aortography, Doppler color mapping ultrasonography. The authors have analyzed the capacities of complex radiation diagnosis of orthostatic renal dysfunctions in children with nephroptosis and the long-term results of nephropexy. 相似文献
