Drinking water contamination by toxic chemicals has become widely recognized as a public health concern since the discovery of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane in California''s Central Valley in 1979. Increased monitoring since then has shown that other pesticides and industrial chemicals are present in drinking water. Contaminants of drinking water also include naturally occurring substances such as asbestos and even the by-products of water chlorination. Public water systems, commercially bottled and vended water and mineral water are regulated, and California is also taking measures to prevent water pollution by chemicals through various new laws and programs. 相似文献

Before Western contact, Alaskan Native populations were self-sufficient in their health practices. Slowly, the Native health care system was replaced by a Western one which was highly effective in treating infectious diseases. As infectious diseases were brought under control by the Indian Health Service, the emergent leading health problems were related to violence, attributed in part to cultural disintegration. New types of Native health providers and new Native-controlled institutions evolved to provide culturally appropriate health and mental health services and to promote a stronger cultural identity. 相似文献

Detection of bacterial DNA from laboratory-prepared specimens such as water, urine, and blood has the potential to improve
diagnostic tools in microbiology. A novel real-time PCR-based assay was developed and its performance and robustness were
evaluated for a panel of spiked suspensions of 15 clinically relevant bacteria. As low as ten colony forming units (CFU)/100 μl
were detectable. No cross-reactivity was observed, except for Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Nevertheless, S. aureus and S. epidermidis were reliably differentiated by melting curve analysis. The protocol was also validated with three groups containing a mixture
of five spiked bacteria each, with the result of reliable differentiation. This novel assay allows an exact identification
of 15 microbes relevant in intensive care medicine, including mixed infections, in a one run experiment in less than 4 h. 相似文献

Subunit composition and architectural structure of the 26S proteasome lid is strictly conserved between all eukaryotes. This eight-subunit complex bears high similarity to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 and to the COP9 signalosome (CSN), which together define the proteasome CSN/COP9/initiation factor (PCI) troika. In some unicellular eukaryotes, the latter two complexes lack key subunits, encouraging questions about the conservation of their structural design. Here we demonstrate that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rpn5 plays dual roles by stabilizing proteasome and CSN structures independently. Proteasome and CSN complexes are easily dissected, with Rpn5 the only subunit in common. Together with Rpn5, we identified a total of six bona fide subunits at roughly stoichiometric ratios in isolated, affinity-purified CSN. Moreover, the copy of Rpn5 associated with the CSN is required for enzymatic hydrolysis of Rub1/Nedd8 conjugated to cullins. We propose that multitasking by a single subunit, Rpn5 in this case, allows it to function in different complexes simultaneously. These observations demonstrate that functional substitution of subunits by paralogues is feasible, implying that the canonical composition of the three PCI complexes in S. cerevisiae is more robust than hitherto appreciated. 相似文献

Background
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are frequent in outpatients. Fast pathogen identification is mandatory for shortening the time of discomfort and preventing serious complications. Urine culture needs up to 48 hours until pathogen identification. Consequently, the initial antibiotic regimen is empirical.Aim
To evaluate the feasibility of qualitative urine pathogen identification by a commercially available real-time PCR blood pathogen test (SeptiFast®) and to compare the results with dipslide and microbiological culture.Design of study
Pilot study with prospectively collected urine samples.Setting
University hospital.Methods
82 prospectively collected urine samples from 81 patients with suspected UTI were included. Dipslide urine culture was followed by microbiological pathogen identification in dipslide positive samples. In parallel, qualitative DNA based pathogen identification (SeptiFast®) was performed in all samples.Results
61 samples were SeptiFast® positive, whereas 67 samples were dipslide culture positive. The inter-methodological concordance of positive and negative findings in the gram+, gram- and fungi sector was 371/410 (90%), 477/492 (97%) and 238/246 (97%), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of the SeptiFast® test for the detection of an infection was 0.82 and 0.60, respectively. SeptiFast® pathogen identifications were available at least 43 hours prior to culture results.Conclusion
The SeptiFast® platform identified bacterial DNA in urine specimens considerably faster compared to conventional culture. For UTI diagnosis sensitivity and specificity is limited by its present qualitative setup which does not allow pathogen quantification. Future quantitative assays may hold promise for PCR based UTI pathogen identification as a supplementation of conventional culture methods. 相似文献6.

Ischaemic stroke patients treated with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) show improved motor, cognitive and executive functions, but the underlying mechanism(s) are incompletely understood. Here, we report that cerebral arterioles in the rat brain superfused with therapeutically effective doses of the SSRI fluoxetine showed consistent, dose‐dependent vasodilatation (by 1.2 to 1.6‐fold), suppressible by muscarinic and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) antagonists [atropine, NG‐nitro‐l ‐arginine methyl ester (l ‐NAME)] but resistant to nicotinic and serotoninergic antagonists (mecamylamine, methylsergide). Fluoxetine administered 10–30 min. following experimental vascular photo‐thrombosis increased arterial diameter (1.3–1.6), inducing partial, but lasting reperfusion of the ischaemic brain. In brain endothelial b.End.3 cells, fluoxetine induced rapid muscarinic receptor‐dependent increases in intracellular [Ca2+] and promoted albumin‐ and eNOS‐dependent nitric oxide (NO) production and HSP90 interaction. In vitro, fluoxetine suppressed recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rhAChE) activity only in the presence of albumin. That fluoxetine induces vasodilatation of cerebral arterioles suggests co‐promotion of endothelial muscarinic and nitric oxide signalling, facilitated by albumin‐dependent inhibition of serum AChE. 相似文献

A 1:1 complex of mercuric chloride with D-peniccillamine has been isolated and characterised as 2[(μ3-Cl){HgSC(CH3)2CH(NH3)COO}3]·3(μ2-Cl)·2(H3O)·(H2O·Cl)3. The compound crystallises in cubic space group P4132, with a = 18.679(5) Å and Z = 4. The structure, refined to RF = 0.086 for 443 observed Mo-Kα diffractometer data, features a triply bridging chloride ion linking three equivalent [HgSC(CH3)2CH(NH3)COO]+ units [Hg-Cl = 2.37(1) Å, Hg-Cl-Hg′ = 98.5(9)°]. The carboxylate groups of a pair of adjacent penicillamine ligands are strongly linked via a symmetrical O?H?O hydrogen bond of length 2.24(8) Å, and neighboring pyramidal trinuclear [μ3-Cl){HgSC(CH3)2CH(NH3)-COO}3]2+ moieties are further connected by symmetrical chloride bridges [Hg-Cl = 3.06(2) Å; HgClHg′' = 79.6(7)°] to form a three-dimensional network. The voids in the lattice are filled by hydronium ions and novel planar cyclic hydrogen-bonded (H2O·Cl?)3 rings of edge O-H?Cl = 2.46(4) Å. 相似文献

One of the minor difficulties in cutting serial sections with the rotary microtome is the accurate trimming of the block of paraffin so that the upper and lower edges facing the knife are parallel to each other and to the knife edge; this is necessary to ensure a straight ribbon. Several block trimmers have been described,1 but they are all rather complicated and expensive to make. The device described below can be made in a short time at little or no expense in any laboratory. 相似文献

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli and enteropathogenic E. coli are enteropathogens characterized by their ability to induce the host cell to form actin‐rich structures, termed pedestals. A type III secretion system, through which the pathogens deliver effector proteins into infected host cells, is essential for their virulence and pedestal formation. Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli encodes two similar effectors, EspM1 and EspM2, which activate the RhoA signalling pathway and induce the formation of stress fibres upon infection of host cells. We confirm these observations and in addition show that EspM inhibits the formation of actin pedestals. Moreover, we show that translocation of EspM into polarized epithelial cells induces dramatic changes in the tight junction localization and in the morphology and architecture of infected polarized monolayers. These changes are manifested by altered localization of the tight junctions and ‘bulging out’ morphology of the cells. Surprisingly, despite the dramatic changes in their architecture, the cells remain alive and the epithelial monolayer maintains a normal barrier function. Taken together, our results show that the EspM effectors inhibit pedestal formation and induce tight junction mislocalization as well as dramatic changes in the architecture of the polarized monolayer. 相似文献
