Antifouling paint booster biocides are a group of organic compounds added to antifouling paints to improve their efficacy. They have become prevalent since the requirement for alternative antifouling paints formulations for small boats (< 25 m). This need followed a ban on the use of triorganotin biocides in antifouling paints for small boats, in the late 1980's. Worldwide, around eighteen compounds are currently used as antifouling biocides, viz. benzmethylamide, chlorothalonil, copper pyrithione, dichlofluanid, diuron, fluorofolpet, Irgarol 1051, Sea‐Nine 211, Mancozeb, Polyphase, pyridine‐triphenyl‐borane, TCMS (2,3,5,6‐tetrachloro‐4‐methylsulfonyl) pyridine, TCMTB [2‐(thiocyanomethylthio)benzothia‐zole], Thiram, tolyfluanid, zinc pyrithione (ZPT), ziram and Zineb. Any booster biocide released into the environment is subjected to a complex set of processes. These processes include transport mechanisms, transformation, degradation, cross media partitioning, and bioaccumulation. This paper reviews the fate and behaviour data currently available in the public domain concerning antifouling paint booster biocides. 相似文献

Uncialamycin analogs were evaluated as potential cytotoxic agents in an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approach to treating human cancer. These analogs were synthesized using Hauser annulations of substituted phthalides as a key step. A highly potent uncialamycin analog 3c with a valine-citrulline dipeptide linker was conjugated to an anti-mesothelin monoclonal antibody (mAb) through lysines to generate a meso-13 conjugate. This conjugate demonstrated subnanomolar potency (IC50?=?0.88?nM, H226 cell line) in in vitro cytotoxicity experiments with good immunological specificity to mesothelin-positive lung cancer cell lines. The potency and mechanism of action of this uncialamycin class of enediyne antitumor antibiotics make them attractive payloads in ADC-based cancer therapy. 相似文献

We undertook a genomewide linkage study in a total of 353 affected sib pairs (ASPs) with schizophrenia. Our sample consisted of 179 ASPs from the United Kingdom, 134 from Sweden, and 40 from the United States. We typed 372 microsatellite markers at approximately 10-cM intervals. Our strongest finding was a LOD score of 3.87 on chromosome 10q25.3-q26.3, with positive results being contributed by all three samples and a LOD-1 interval of 15 cM. This finding achieved genomewide significance (P<.05), on the basis of simulation studies. We also found two regions, 17p11.2-q25.1 (maximum LOD score [MLS] = 3.35) and 22q11 (MLS = 2.29), in which the evidence for linkage was highly suggestive. Linkage to all of these regions has been supported by other studies. Moreover, we found strong evidence for linkage (genomewide P<.02) to 17p11.2-q25.1 in a single pedigree with schizophrenia. In our view, the evidence is now sufficiently compelling to undertake detailed mapping studies of these three regions. 相似文献

Background
The function of proteins is a direct consequence of their three-dimensional structure. The structural classification of proteins describes the ways of folding patterns all proteins could adopt. Although, the protein folds were described in many ways the functional properties of individual folds were not studied.Results
We have analyzed two β-barrel folds generally adopted by small proteins to be looking similar but have different topology. On the basis of the topology they could be divided into two different folds named SH3-fold and OB-fold. There was no sequence homology between any of the proteins considered. The sequence diversity and loop variability was found to be important for various binding functions.Conclusions
The function of Oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) fold proteins was restricted to either DNA/RNA binding or sugar binding whereas the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain like proteins bind to a variety of ligands through loop modulations. A question was raised whether the evolution of these two folds was through DNA shuffling. 相似文献5.

The potential of DNA markers such as microsatellites, minisatellites and RAPDs was investigated in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br] with respect to their abundance and variability. Southern analysis, using 22 different di-, tri-, tetra- and
penta-oligonucleotide probes and five minisatellite probes, identified (GATA)4 as the most useful probe for the detection of multiple polymorphic fragments among pearl millet cultivars and landraces from
India. The clustering patterns of pearl millet cultivars and landraces based on (GATA)4 and RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) markers differed. The landraces, representing eight states in India, could
not be grouped based on their geographical distribution with the DNA markers. RAPD analysis revealed a high degree of genetic
diversity among the cultivars and landraces employed in this study. The probability of an identical match by chance for any
two genotypes using (GATA)4 and RAPDs was 3.02×10-20 for cultivars and 5.2×10-9 for landraces. The microsatellite (GATA)4 and RAPDs provide useful tools for genotype identification and for the assessment of genetic relationships in pearl millet.

Abnormalities in circadian rhythms are prominent features of bipolar I disorder (BD1). To investigate circadian variation in BD1, we evaluated morningness-eveningness (M/E), a stable trait reflecting circadian phase, using the composite scale (CS) among BD1 patients (DSM IV criteria; n=75), unscreened controls (n=349), and patients with schizophrenia (SZ) or schizoaffective disorder (SZA) (n=81). Our analyses showed that CS scores correlated significantly with age but did not differ by gender among the controls. BD1 patients differed significantly from controls and from SZ/SZA patients when age was considered. CS scores were distributed bi-modally among BD1 cases. There are several possible reasons for the observed heterogeneity. Younger BD1 patients, and those with rapid mood swings, were significantly more likely to have lower CS scores (i.e., to score in the 'evening' range and to have later circadian phase). CS scores were also positively correlated with the age at onset and the duration of the most severe depressive episodes. These relationships were not observed among the SZ/SZA groups. Thus, distinct patterns of M/E were noted among BD1 patients and among BD1 subgroups. The impact of medication, mood state, and chronicity on CS scores needs to be considered. 相似文献

Association and linkage analysis of RGS4 polymorphisms with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in Brazil 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Linkage and association studies in five independently ascertained samples have suggested that polymorphisms of the regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) may confer risk for schizophrenia (SCZ). Suggestive evidence for association with bipolar disorder (BD) has also been presented. However, the associated alleles and haplotypes have differed among the samples. Data from other independent samples may clarify the putative associations. Hence, we investigated an independent, ethnically diverse Brazilian population comprising patients with SCZ (n=271) or BD1 (n=306), who were contrasted with 576 community-based controls. Parents of 49 SCZ cases and 44 BD cases were available for transmission disequilibrium tests (TDTs). Four RGS4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 1, 4, 7 and 18 putatively associated with SCZ were investigated. In the SCZ samples, significant case-control differences were not observed for individual SNPs or haplotypes, though the TDT suggested transmission distortion similar to that observed in the initial report. For the BD sample, case-control comparisons revealed no significant differences for individual SNPs, but an omnibus test suggested differences in the overall distribution of haplotypes bearing all four SNPs (SNP-EM Omnibus likelihood ratio test; P=0.003). The TDT revealed over-transmission of allele A at SNP7 (P=0.016), as well as haplotypes incorporating this allele. However, global tests incorporating all haplotypes yielded only suggestive trends for association (P=0.19). In conclusion, association with SCZ was not detected in the present analyses. The failure to detect an association may be related to inadequate power or to confounds related to ethnic admixture. Suggestive associations with BD detected here require further investigation in a larger sample. 相似文献

We report the molecular epidemiology of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus involved in an outbreak causing death in free-ranging wild birds at Mysore, Karnataka state of India. The virus was typed as HPAI A(H5N8) by conventional and TaqMan probe based real-time PCR assays. Six isolates of HPAI virus were recovered in 9-day-old embryonated chicken eggs. Haemagglutinin gene-based phylogeny of virus isolates showed >?99.9% nucleotide sequence identity with HPAI A(H5N8) isolates from migratory birds and domestic poultry from China and Korea indicating either these wild birds have routed their migration through Korea and/or eastern China or these dead birds must have directly or indirectly contacted with wild birds migrating from Eastern China and/or Korean regions. The study emphasises the role of migratory wild birds in spread of HPAI across the globe. 相似文献

Background
Apoptosis has been speculated to be involved in schizophrenia. In a previously study, we reported the association of the MEGF10 gene with the disease. In this study, we followed the apoptotic engulfment pathway involving the MEGF10, GULP1, ABCA1 and ABCA7 genes and tested their association with the disease.Methodology/Principal Findings
Ten, eleven and five SNPs were genotyped in the GULP1, ABCA1 and ABCA7 genes respectively for the ISHDSF and ICCSS samples. In all 3 genes, we observed nominally significant associations. Rs2004888 at GULP1 was significant in both ISHDSF and ICCSS samples (p = 0.0083 and 0.0437 respectively). We sought replication in independent samples for this marker and found highly significant association (p = 0.0003) in 3 Caucasian replication samples. But it was not significant in the 2 Chinese replication samples. In addition, we found a significant 2-marker (rs2242436 * rs3858075) interaction between the ABCA1 and ABCA7 genes in the ISHDSF sample (p = 0.0022) and a 3-marker interaction (rs246896 * rs4522565 * rs3858075) amongst the MEGF10, GULP1 and ABCA1 genes in the ICCSS sample (p = 0.0120). Rs3858075 in the ABCA1 gene was involved in both 2- and 3-marker interactions in the two samples.Conclusions/Significance
From these data, we concluded that the GULP1 gene and the apoptotic engulfment pathway are involved in schizophrenia in subjects of European ancestry and multiple genes in the pathway may interactively increase the risks to the disease. 相似文献10.
Association study of eight circadian genes with bipolar I disorder, schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We hypothesize that circadian dysfunction could underlie, at least partially, the liability for bipolar 1 disorder (BD1). Our hypothesis motivated tests for the association between the polymorphisms of genes that mediate circadian function and liability for BD1. The US Caucasian patients with BD1 (DSM-IV criteria) and available parents were recruited from Pittsburgh and surrounding areas (n = 138 cases, 196 parents) and also selected from the NIMH Genetics Collaborative Initiative (n = 96 cases, 192 parents). We assayed 44 informative single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from eight circadian genes in the BD1 samples. A population-based sample, specifically cord blood samples from local live births, served as community-based controls (n = 180). It was used as a contrast for genotype and haplotype distributions with those of patients. US patients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder (SZ/SZA, n = 331) and available parents from Pittsburgh (n = 344) were assayed for a smaller set of SNPs based on the results from the BD1 samples. Modest associations with SNPs at ARNTL (BmaL1) and TIMELESS genes were observed in the BD1 samples. The associations were detected using family-based and case-control analyses, albeit with different SNPs. Associations with TIMELESS and PERIOD3 were also detected in the Pittsburgh SZ/SZA group. Thus far, evidence for association between specific SNPs at the circadian gene loci and BD1 is tentative. Additional studies using larger samples are required to evaluate the associations reported here. 相似文献
