ABSTRACTWe present an easy test for rapid visualization of viral DNA assemblies in infected cell cytoplasm. We selected the best stains for nuclear staining: Nile blue A, Bismarck brown, gallocyanin chrome alum, methyl green pyronin and azure II. None of the staining techniques is fluorescent, which facilitates their use in everyday experiments. Methyl green is most promising for routine detection of viral DNA assemblies in the cytoplasm; the procedure enables ready detection of viral DNA accumulation in the cytoplasm. 相似文献

The number of the nucleoli in a CaCo-2 cell nucleus does not generally depend on the quantity of DNA in the nucleus, but nucleolar DNA content is directly proportional to total nuclear DNA. However, in multinucleolar cells (three or more nucleoli), the nucleolar DNA content increases after 96 h incubation in culture without concomitant quantitative changes in nuclear DNA. The percentage of multinucleolar cells and the average number of nucleoli per nucleus increase with increasing incubation time. After 72 and 96 h in culture, multinucleolar cells show distinctive morphologies. The ratio of the sum of nucleolar perimeters to the nuclear perimeter increases linearly when the number of nucleoli in a nucleus increases, but there is no concomitant increase in total nucleolar area or DNA content, except in the 72 and 96 h populations. When the number of nucleoli in CaCo-2 cells increases after 48 and 60 h in culture, the amount of DNA per nucleolus decreases. 相似文献

Objective
We estimated HIV-free infant survival and mother-to-child HIV transmission (MTCT) rates in Zimbabwe, some of the first community-based estimates from a UNAIDS priority country.Methods
In 2012 we surveyed mother-infant pairs residing in the catchment areas of 157 health facilities randomly selected from 5 of 10 provinces in Zimbabwe. Enrolled infants were born 9–18 months before the survey. We collected questionnaires, blood samples for HIV testing, and verbal autopsies for deceased mothers/infants. Estimates were assessed among i) all HIV-exposed infants, as part of an impact evaluation of Option A of the 2010 WHO guidelines (rolled out in Zimbabwe in 2011), and ii) the subgroup of infants unexposed to Option A. We compared province-level MTCT rates measured among women in the community with MTCT rates measured using program monitoring data from facilities serving those communities.Findings
Among 8568 women with known HIV serostatus, 1107 (12.9%) were HIV-infected. Among all HIV-exposed infants, HIV-free infant survival was 90.9% (95% confidence interval (CI): 88.7–92.7) and MTCT was 8.8% (95% CI: 6.9–11.1). Sixty-six percent of HIV-exposed infants were still breastfeeding. Among the 762 infants born before Option A was implemented, 90.5% (95% CI: 88.1–92.5) were alive and HIV-uninfected at 9–18 months of age, and 9.1% (95%CI: 7.1–11.7) were HIV-infected. In four provinces, the community-based MTCT rate was higher than the facility-based MTCT rate. In Harare, the community and facility-based rates were 6.0% and 9.1%, respectively.Conclusion
By 2012 Zimbabwe had made substantial progress towards the elimination of MTCT. Our HIV-free infant survival and MTCT estimates capture HIV transmissions during pregnancy, delivery and breastfeeding regardless of whether or not mothers accessed health services. These estimates also provide a baseline against which to measure the impact of Option A guidelines (and subsequently Option B+). 相似文献5.
Proton translocation coupled to formate oxidation in anaerobically grown fermenting Escherichia coli
Proton translocation, coupled to formate oxidation and hydrogen evolution, was studied in anaerobically grown fermenting Escherichia coli JW136 carrying hydrogenase 1 (hya) and hydrogenase 2 (hyb) double deletions. Rapid acidification of the medium by EDTA-treated anaerobic suspension of the whole cells or its alkalization by inverted membranes was observed in response to application of formate. The formate-dependent proton translocation and 2H(+)-K(+) exchange coupled to H(2) evolution were sensitive to the uncoupler, carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and to copper ions, inhibitors of hydrogenases. No pH changes were observed in a suspension of formate-pulsed aerobically grown ("respiring") cells. The apparent H(+)/formate ratio of 1.3 was obtained in cells oxidizing formate. The 2H(+)-K(+) exchange of the ATP synthase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ion fluxes does take place in JW136 cell suspension. Hydrogen formation from formate by cell suspensions of E. coli JW136 resulted in the formation of a membrane potential (Deltapsi) across the cytoplasmic membrane of -130 mV (inside negative). This was abolished in the presence of copper ions, although they had little effect on the value of Deltapsi generated by E. coli under respiration. We conclude that the hydrogen production by hydrogenase 3 is coupled to formate-dependent proton pumping that regulates 2H(+)-K(+) exchange in fermenting bacteria. 相似文献

We have investigated differences between the actions of encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) on cytometric indices in cultured NIH 3T3 and HEp-2 cells, which are characterized by different levels of transformation. HEp-2 cells surviving 48 h after EMCV infection showed lower nuclear ploidy, reduced nuclear area, fewer nucleoli and a higher percentage of euploid cells. There was a significant increase of nucleolar/nuclear DNA 6-24 h after EMCV infection. However, EMCV had markedly different effects on NIH 3T3 cells: there was a consistent increase in population ploidy, but the average number of nucleoli and the number of euploid cells in the population remained constant. The nucleolar/nuclear DNA ratio was almost unchanged. These different viral effects might be explained by the contrasting levels of differentiation of the cultured cell lines. The number of nucleoli does not depend on the amount of nuclear DNA in either viral-infected or intact cells but on the euploidy-to-aneuploidy ratio. The ratio of the sums of the nucleolar perimeters to the nuclear perimeter increases linearly with the number of nucleoli per nucleus in both intact and virus-infected cells. In both cell lines, the amount of DNA per nucleolus decreases as the number of nucleoli increases. 相似文献

Health system reforms have been taken in Armenia during a time of dramatic economic and fiscal distress. It is important to assess trends in health indicators and ascertain if the changes in socio-economic systems affected the health status of infants as the most vulnerable part of the population. We find that infant mortality has fallen during the period c. 1992-2003 in spite of the difficult economic circumstances because of health-care procedures that were introduced. Particular attention is paid to the underreporting of infants' death cases in the state registration system as well as to estimating the role of different factors influencing infant mortality in Armenia. 相似文献

Two glycolytic enzymes, phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) and enolase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been chosen to detect complex formation between active centers (a/c), using molecular dynamics simulation. Enzymes have been separated by 10 A distance and placed in a water box of size 173 x 173 x 173 A. Three different orientations where a/c of PGM and enolase were positioned toward each other have been used for investigation. The two initial 3-phosphoglycerate substrates at near active centers of initial structure of PGM have been replaced with final 2-phosphoglycerate products. 150mM of NaCl have been added to the system to observe binding activity in the near physiological conditions. Analysis of interaction energies and conformation changes for 3ns simulation indicates that PGM and enolase do show binding affinity between their near active regions. Moreover the similarity between final conformations of the first two orientations with the initial conformation of the third orientation suggests that complex formation between a/c of enzymes is not confined only by discussed orientations. Clear interaction of enolase with C-terminal tail of PGM has been recorded. These results suggest that substrate direct transfer mechanism may exist between enzymes. 相似文献

(S)- and (R)-BIMBOL were efficient PT catalysts of asymmetric Michael addition of prochiral Ni-PBP-Gly (1) to acrylic esters and malonic esters to Ni-PBP-Δ-Ala (2) correspondingly. The salient feature of the catalysis is opposite configurations of Glu prepared via the two paths with BIMBOL of the same configuration and a perspective novel catalytic procedure for the synthesis of Gla derivatives. 相似文献

Binding of the complement regulatory protein, factor H, to C-reactive protein has been reported and implicated as the biological basis for association of the H402 polymorphic variant of factor H with macular degeneration. Published studies utilize solid-phase or fluid-phase binding assays to show that the factor H Y402 variant binds C-reactive protein more strongly than H402. Diminished binding of H402 variant to C-reactive protein in retinal drusen is posited to permit increased complement activation, driving inflammation and pathology. We used well validated native human C-reactive protein and pure factor H Y402H variants to test interactions. When factor H variants were incubated with C-reactive protein in the fluid phase at physiological concentrations, no association occurred. When C-reactive protein was immobilized on plastic, either non-specifically by adsorption in the presence of Ca(2+) to maintain its native fold and pentameric subunit assembly or by specific Ca(2+)-dependent binding to immobilized natural ligands, no specific binding of either factor H variant from the fluid phase was observed. In contrast, both factor H variants reproducibly bound to C-reactive protein immobilized in the absence of Ca(2+), conditions that destabilize the native fold and pentameric assembly. Both factor H variants strongly bound C-reactive protein that was denatured by heat treatment before immobilization, confirming interaction with denatured but not native C-reactive protein. We conclude that the reported binding of factor H to C-reactive protein results from denaturation of the C-reactive protein during immobilization. Differential binding to C-reactive protein, thus, does not explain association of the Y402H polymorphism with macular degeneration. 相似文献
