Background
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. As there is no definitive diagnostic test, its diagnosis is based on clinical criteria. Recently transcranial duplex scanning (TCD) of the substantia nigra in the brainstem has been proposed as an instrument to diagnose PD. We and others have found that TCD scanning of substantia nigra duplex is a relatively accurate diagnostic instrument in patients with parkinsonian symptoms. However, all studies on TCD so far have involved well-defined, later-stage PD patients, which will obviously lead to an overestimate of the diagnostic accuracy of TCD. 相似文献4.
Characterization of Bacillus strains from apple and pear trees in South Africa antagonistic to Erwinia amylovora 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to find reasons for the absence of fire blight in most countries of the Southern hemisphere, bark samples from apple and pear trees in orchards of the Western Cape region in South Africa were extracted for bacteria which could be antagonistic to Erwinia amylovora. Screening was done in the late growth season and mainly Gram-positive bacteria were isolated. Approximately half of them produced growth inhibition zones on a lawn of E. amylovora. Most isolates were classified as Bacillus megaterium by microbiological assays and in API 50 test systems. They were visualized in the light microscope as non-motile large rods. These strains may not be responsible for the absence of fire blight in orchards, but they may indicate unfavourable climatic conditions for Gram-negative bacteria including E. amylovora. They may reduce the ability of E. amylovora to establish fire blight and could also be useful for application in biological disease control. 相似文献

Two different stereoisomers of the dioxolane-linked gramicidin A (gA) channels were individually synthesized (the SS and RR dimers;. Science. 244:813-817). The structural differences between these dimers arise from different chiralities within the dioxolane linker. The SS dimer mimics the helicity and the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the monomer-monomer association of gA's. In contrast, there is a significant disruption of the helicity and hydrogen bonding pattern of the ion channel in the RR dimer. Single ion channels formed by the SS and RR dimers in planar lipid bilayers have different proton transport properties. The lipid environment in which the different dimers are reconstituted also has significant effects on single-channel proton conductance (g(H)). g(H) in the SS dimer is about 2-4 times as large as in the RR. In phospholipid bilayers with 1 M [H(+)](bulk), the current-voltage (I-V) relationship of the SS dimer is sublinear. Under identical experimental conditions, the I-V plot of the RR dimer is supralinear (S-shaped). In glycerylmonooleate bilayers with 1 M [H(+)](bulk), both the SS and RR dimers have a supralinear I-V plot. Consistent with results previously published (. Biophys. J. 73:2489-2502), the SS dimer is stable in lipid bilayers and has fast closures. In contrast, the open state of the RR channel has closed states that can last a few seconds, and the channel eventually inactivates into a closed state in either phospholipid or glycerylmonooleate bilayers. It is concluded that the water dynamics inside the pore as related to proton wire transfer is significantly different in the RR and SS dimers. Different physical mechanisms that could account for this hypothesis are discussed. The gating of the synthetic gA dimers seems to depend on the conformation of the dioxolane link between gA's. The experimental results provide an important framework for a detailed investigation at the atomic level of proton conduction in different and relatively simple ion channel structures. 相似文献
