The apparently cooperative binding of 8-(5-thioacetamidofluorescein)-cGMP (SAF-cGMP) to cGMP-binding sites of the rod outer segments is regulated by Ca2+ in the 0.1-1 microM activity range. High Ca2+ reduces, and low Ca2+ increases the affinity of SAF-cGMP binding. This regulation involves only intrinsic membrane components. It is proposed that an allosteric regulation of cGMP binding by Ca2+ can contribute to photoreceptor potential adaptation. 相似文献

The presence of keratinophilic fungi was revealed by sampling the air of Pavia (Italy) from March 1981 to February 1982. The species isolated were: Chrysosporium indicum, Geomyces pannorum var.pannorum, Microsporum gypseum, Myceliophtora vellerea and Trichophyton terrestre. Several filamentous fungi tolerating high levels of cycloheximide were also recovered. 相似文献

A total of 1244 cases suspected of superficial mycoses were analysed in a period of 12 months in Italy. Dermatophytoses were found in 62.4%; the other common disease was Pityriasis versicolor (44.1%). The predominant speciesEpidermophyton floccosum (34,2%) was strickingly high in relation to other statistics; this species was commonest in tinea cruris. Among the other dermatophytesM. canis was predominant (31.3%) commonest in tinea corporis, followed byT. mentagrophytes (17,8%) andT. rubrum (10,3%). A high rate of yeasts was found in tinea manum (81.6%) and tinea pedis (47.7%). 相似文献

Herbaceous plants endemic to native Kenyan grassland on the Marula Estate were assessed for their phylloplane fungal occurrence
using leaf cultures on tap water agar. From 26 sampled plants, 261 fungal isolates representative of 58 genera and 92 taxa
were identified. The principal filamentous fungi were of the genera: Alternaria, Bipolaris, Curvularia, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Nigrospora, Periconia, Phoma and Pithomyces. The fungal species that occurred most frequently were: Alternaria alternata aggreate (73%), Pithomyces chartarum (73%) Nigrospora sphaerica (42%), Torula herbarum (30%) and Microsphaeropsis olivacea (27%). Fungi of limited occurrence were: Didymosphaeria oblitescens, Doliomyces mysoriensis, Endophragmiella dimorphospora, Parapericonia angusii, Podospora minicaudata,
Spegazzinia tessarthra, Sporormiella minima, Stagonospora vitensis, Stigmella effigurata and Truncatella conorum-piceae. It is postulated that the phylloplane of these endemic plants provides a niche for endemic fungi.

Poor micturition control may cause profound distress, because proper voiding is mandatory for an active social life. Micturition results from the subtle interplay of central and peripheral components. It involves the coordination of autonomic and neuromuscular activity at the brainstem level, under the executive control of the prefrontal cortex. We tested the hypothesis that administration of molecules acting as reuptake inhibitors of serotonin, noradrenaline or both may exert a strong effect on the control of urine release, in a mouse model of overactive bladder. Mice were injected with cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg), to increase micturition acts. Mice were then given one of four molecules: the serotonin reuptake inhibitor imipramine, its metabolite desipramine that acts on noradrenaline reuptake, the serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor duloxetine or its active metabolite 4-hydroxy-duloxetine. Cyclophosphamide increased urine release without inducing overt toxicity or inflammation, except for increase in urothelium thickness. All the antidepressants were able to decrease the cyclophosphamide effects, as apparent from longer latency to the first micturition act, decreased number of urine spots and volume of released urine. These results suggest that serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors exert a strong and effective modulatory effect on the control of urine release and prompt to additional studies on their central effects on brain areas involved in the social and behavioral control of micturition. 相似文献

Summary The effects of diltiazem, a drug which inhibits the calcium channels in cardiac muscle as well as the light-sensitive channels in photoreceptor cells, were studied on ionic fluxes in both membrane and intact cell preparations. Diltiazem nonselectively increased the ionic permeability to both anions and cations in photoreceptor rod outer segment and synaptic membrane vesicles as well as in intact erythrocytes. Under our conditions, the estimated threshold for the diltiazem effect varied between 12.5 and 200 m. In each case the concentration dependence exhibited the sigmoidal shape characteristic of positive cooperativity. The effect of diltiazem on ionic fluxes from phospholipid vesicles were strongly influenced by phospholipid composition and membrane charge. By contrast, diltiazem inhibited the efflux of86Rb from photoreceptor cells of intact aspartate-isolated retina, an effect opposite to that of diltiazem on ionic permeabilities in photoreceptor membrane vesicle preparations.These data raise serious doubts on the specificity of diltiazem as a calcium channel blocker or as a cGMP channel blocker when used at concentrations higher than 10 m. 相似文献

Protein-bound male urinary pheromones: differential responses according to age and gender 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The attractive properties of male urinary pheromones were tested on adult
or prepubertal male and female mice. An androgen-dependent protein is
present in adult male urine (major urinary protein, MUP) which has been
suggested to be a pheromone-binding protein. We tested the pheromonal
properties of the protein-bound volatiles in a test of attractiveness.
These molecules, that co-purify with MUP, attract females and repel adult
males. In prepubertal animals, females are repelled and males are attracted
by the same stimuli. These results are similar to those obtained by others
with adult male whole urine. Therefore MUP binds molecules with a
pheromonal activity, and these molecules are sufficient to act as male
signals.

The occurrence of coprophilous fungi on samples of antelope, buffalo, zebra and hippopotamus dung collected from the Marula
Estates in Kenya was recorded. A hundred and seventy three fungal isolates representative of 40 genera and 59 species were
identified. Among these species, 23 were Ascomycetes (39%), 30 Deuteromycetes (50.8%), 5 Zygomycetes (8.5%) and 1 Basidiomycete
(1.7%). Ascobolus immersus, Coprotus niveus, Iodophanus carneus, Lasiobolus lasioboloides, Podospora anserina, P. australis
and Sporormiella minima were the dominant species occurring in the dung of these animals. Notes on infrequent or interesting
Ascomycetes include Kernia nitida, Saccobolus versicolor, Sordaria fimicola and others. The interdependence of the vegetation
of this area with the fungi occurring on the dung of these animals is discussed.

Summary In indoor aerial environments and in particular that of homes, the number and type of fungal spores present in the air depend, more than on air exchange with the outside atmosphere, on the presence of sources or dispersion within the building itself. The concentration of spores is half that normally recorded outside the building, withAspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Mucor, Rhizopus andOidiodendron as the dominating genera. Aerosporological investigations carried out in homes should ideally be done at night, with the exposition of cultural dishes. The repetitive isolation of the same fungus may be particularly important in the etiology of allergic manifestation in man. Particular environments, if insufficiently aerated, with high levels of relative humidity and insufficient illumination, may become ecological niches particularly well suited to fungi, both during its latent form or during a phase of rapid development. Together with rapidly developing fungi, for instanceMucor andRhizopus, slow developing moulds such asPenicillium, Aspergillus andTrichoderma may also be found, characterized however by a production of a great number of easily dispersed conidia. Etiological research into the allergic manifestations of patients continuously inhaling spores responsible for particular allergies appears to be insufficiently developed. 相似文献
