The effect of neurotensin on submaximally-stimulated hepatobiliary and pancreatic secretion was studied in 6 healthy subjects. An intravenous infusion of neurotensin 1.4 ± 0.3 pmol/kg/min, designed to reproduce plasma neurotensin immunoreactivity levels within the physiological range, produced a significant increase in pancreatic bicarbonate output. Plasma concentrations of pancreatic polypeptide rose by 83 ± 16 pmol/l and were associated with a small reduction in trypsin, but no significant change in bilirubin outputs. 相似文献

Studies on Sclerotium cepivorum infection of salad onions in artificially infested soil showed that under field conditions infection was greatest in late spring and summer and declined to a low level in the late autumn and winter months. Change of infection levels was found to be correlated with the effect of soil temperature in the field on the germination of sclerotia. This was substantiated in laboratory studies which demonstrated that sclerotium germination, mycelial growth and seedling infection were all markedly influenced by temperature. 相似文献

Chemotaxis of Escherichia coli toward phosphotransferase systems (PTSs)-carbohydrates requires phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent PTSs as well as the chemotaxis response regulator CheY and its kinase, CheA. Responses initiated by flash photorelease of a PTS substrates D-glucose and its nonmetabolizable analog methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside were measured with 33-ms time resolution using computer-assisted motion analysis. This, together with chemotactic mutants, has allowed us to map out and characterize the PTS chemotactic signal pathway. The responses were absent in mutants lacking the general PTS enzymes EI or HPr, elevated in PTS transport mutants, retarded in mutants lacking CheZ, a catalyst of CheY autodephosphorylation, and severely reduced in mutants with impaired methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) signaling activity. Response kinetics were comparable to those triggered by MCP attractant ligands over most of the response range, the most rapid being 11.7 +/- 3.1 s-1. The response threshold was <10 nM for glucose. Responses to methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside had a higher threshold, commensurate with a lower PTS affinity, but were otherwise kinetically indistinguishable. These facts provide evidence for a single pathway in which the PTS chemotactic signal is relayed rapidly to MCP-CheW-CheA signaling complexes that effect subsequent amplification and slower CheY dephosphorylation. The high sensitivity indicates that this signal is generated by transport-induced dephosphorylation of the PTS rather than phosphoenolpyruvate consumption. 相似文献

HER-2 is an oncogenic tumor-associated Ag that is overexpressed in several human tumors including breast and ovarian cancer. The efficacy and mechanism of a HER-2-expressing recombinant adenoviral vaccine to protect against tumorigenesis was examined using HER-2 transgenic (BALB-neuT) mice, which develop spontaneous breast tumors in all 10 mammary glands, and also using a transplantable mouse tumor model. Vaccination beginning at 6-8 wk of age (through 19 wk of age) prevented development of spontaneous mammary tumors even after 50 wk, whereas the animals in the control groups had tumors in all mammary glands by 25 wk. Such long-term protection after the last boost has not been achieved previously in this transgenic mouse in which the oncogene is continuously spawning tumorigenesis. Using beta(2)-microglobulin-knockout, IFN-gamma-knockout, and B cell-deficient mice, CD4(+) and CD8(+) cell depletion, and Ab transfer studies, we show that induction of anti-HER-2/neu Abs are both necessary and sufficient for protection, and the IgG2a isotype is most effective. In contrast, CD8(+) T cells are not necessary at all, and CD4(+) T cells are necessary for only 36-48 h after immunization to provide help for B cells but not as effector cells. Equal protection in immunized mice deficient in FcgammaRI/III excluded an FcR-mediated mechanism. Anti-HER-2 serum not only inhibited growth of mammary tumor cell lines expressing HER-2 in vitro but also protected mice from tumors in vivo, suggesting a direct action of Ab on the tumor cells. Such a vaccine may provide Ab-mediated protection against HER-2-expressing breast cancers in humans. 相似文献

Changes in the 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (HHE) and malonaldehyde (MA) contents were investigated in the meat of the yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiate containing 0, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 M NaCl stored at 0 degrees C for 7 days. After 7 days of storage, the HHE content was significantly lower and the MA content significantly higher in the meat containing NaCl than in the control without NaCl. 相似文献

A 25-year-old previously asymptomatic pregnant woman at 36 weeks'' gestation was noticed to have repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. A dilated left ventricle with moderately reduced systolic function was found on echocardiographic examination. This is a very rare presentation of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCMP) presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. 相似文献

A recently silenced, duplicate PgiC locus in Clarkia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous electrophoretic analysis showed that 17 diploid species of the
wildflower Clarkia (Onagraceae) have two cytosolic isozymes of
phosphoglucose isomerase (PGIC; EC 5.3.1.9), whereas 15 other diploid
species have a single PGIC. Molecular studies revealed that the two
isozymes in the former species are encoded by duplicate genes, PgiC1 and
PgiC2, whereas the single isozyme in the latter is always encoded by PgiC1.
Phylogenetic analysis of the nucleotide sequences implied that PgiC2 was
silenced four times independently in the genus. Here we describe a psi
PgiC2 from C. mildrediae, a species in which only PgiC1 is expressed. The
discovery of the psi PgiC2 is significant because it confirms a formal
prediction of the phylogenetic analysis. The psi PgiC2 includes 5,039
nucleotides corresponding to 18 of the 23 exons of PgiC, as well as the
intervening introns and 3' nontranslated region. The absence of an increase
of nucleotide substitutions in its "exons" suggests that the gene was
silenced recently. The present study appears to be the first to establish
that a specific duplicate gene locus regularly expressed in a group of
related plant species has been silenced in one of them. The multiple
independent silencings of PgiC2 suggest that it remained functional but
inessential in ancestral lineages. We discuss the possibility that PgiC2
may have been preserved in these lineages by selection against mutants
causing defective PGIC1- PGIC2 heterodimers.
