The molecular evolution of mammalian Y-linked DNA sequences is of special
interest because of their unique mode of inheritance: most Y- linked
sequences are clonally inherited from father to son. Here we investigate
the use of Y-linked sequences for phylogenetic inference. We describe a
comparative analysis of a 515-bp region from the male sex- determining
locus, Sry, in 22 murine rodents (subfamily Murinae, family Muridae),
including representatives from nine species of Mus, and from two additional
murine genera--Mastomys and Hylomyscus. Percent sequence divergence was
< 0.01% for comparisons between populations within a species and was
0.19%-8.16% for comparisons between species. Our phylogenetic analysis of
12 murine taxa resulted in a single most- parsimonius tree that is highly
concordant with phylogenies based on mitochondrial DNA and allozymes. A
total evidence tree based on the combined data from Sry, mitochondrial DNA,
and allozymes supports (1) the monophyly of the subgenus Mus, (2) its
division into a Palearctic group (M. musculus, M. domesticus, M.
spicilegus, M. Macedonicus, and M. spretus) and an Oriental group (M.
cookii++, M. cervicolor, and M. caroli), and (3) sister-group relationships
between M. spicilegus and M. macedonicus and between M. cookii and M.
cervicolor. We argue that Y- chromosome DNA sequences represent a valuable
new source of characters for phylogenetic inference.

Nine white-rot fungal strains were screened for biodecolourization of brilliant green, cresol red, crystal violet, congo red
and orange II. Dichomitus squalens, Phlebia fascicularia and P. floridensis decolourized all of the dyes on solid agar medium and possessed better decolourization ability than Phanerochaete chrysosporium when tested in nitrogen-limited broth medium.

Membranes in the mitotic apparatus have been investigated ultrastructually in dividing cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare). After osmium tetroxide- potassium ferricyanide or ferrocyanide postfixation (OsFeCN) of material that had been fixed in glutaraldehyde in the presence of Ca(++), the nuclear envolope (NE)-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) complex is selectively stained, permitting observations on the cellular pattern and structural ramifications of this membrane system that have not been previously recognized. Specifically, it is observed that membrane system that have not been previously recognized. Specifically, it is observed that during mitosis the NE-ER forms a continuous membrane system that ensheathes and isolates the mitotic apparatus (MA). Elements of ER progressively accumulate in the region of the spindle pole, becoming most concentrated by early anaphase. Within the MA itself, there are striking spindle- membrane associations; in particular, tubular elements of predominantly smooth NE-ER invade the spindle interior selectively along kinetochore microtubules. The membrane elements at the pole and surrounding the MA consist of tubular reticulum and fenestrated lamellae. Membranes of the MA thus resemble in considerable detail the tubular network and fenestrated elements of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle. It is suggested that the NE-ER of the dividing barley cell may function in one or both of the following ways: (a) to control the concentration of free Ca(++) in the MA and (b) to serve as an anchor to chromosome motion. 相似文献

The effects of cage fish farming on physico-chemical and bacteriological water quality in Lake Volta, Ghana, were investigated in 2013–2014. Farmed and unfarmed (control) areas of the lake were selected for monitoring. Nutrients, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, pH, total coliforms, Pseudomonas and Vibrio spp. in the water were monitored monthly. Analyses of the water samples were carried out according to standard procedures. Physico-chemical quality of the water in both farm and control sites were within ranges typical of minimally impacted water and did not vary significantly between the two contrasting sites. The bacteriological analysis, however, revealed contamination of the lake water by fish farming. The bacterial counts at the farmed sites were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those of the control sites, with figures at the farmed sites ranging from 132 to 1 708 cfu 100 ml?1 for total coliforms, 514 to 5 170 cfu 100 ml?1 Pseudomonas spp. and 14 to 516 cfu 100 ml?1 for Vibrio spp. The results suggested that cage fish farming has increased bacterial loads in the lake water, but has had minimal impact on its physico-chemical quality. 相似文献

Diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer using expression data with several machine learning tools
Breast cancer is one of the top three commonly caused cancers worldwide. Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), a subtype of breast cancer, lacks expression of the oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2. This makes the prognosis poor and early detection hard. Therefore, AI based neural models such as Binary Logistic Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron and Radial Basis Functions were used for differential diagnosis of normal samples and TNBC samples collected from signal intensity data of microarray experiment. Genes that were significantly upregulated in TNBC were compared with healthy controls. The MLP model classified TNBC and normal cells with anaccuracy of 93.4%. However, RBF gave 74% accuracy and binary Logistic Regression model showed an accuracy of 90.0% in identifying TNBC cases. 相似文献

Introduction
Frequent assessments of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity allow timely adaptation of therapy, which is essential in preventing disease progression. However, values of acute phase reactants (APRs) are needed to calculate current composite activity indices, such as the Disease Activity Score (DAS)28, the DAS28-CRP (i.e. the DAS28 using C-reactive protein instead of erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI). We hypothesized that APRs make limited contribution to the SDAI, and that an SDAI-modification eliminating APRs – termed the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI; i.e. the sum of tender and swollen joint counts [28 joints] and patient and physician global assessments [in cm]) – would have comparable validity in clinical cohorts. 相似文献7.
There is increasing evidence for beneficial effects of early DMARD (disease-modifying antirheumatic drug) therapy over delayed
treatment in patients who present with arthritis of recent onset. However, no universal consensus exists concerning the choice
of initial drug or whether single drugs or combinations should be given as initial treatments. Recent studies have focused
on the benefits of various strategies in which treatments were tailored to achieve low levels of disease activity, as assessed
using validated response criteria. These studies demonstrated superiority of 'aggressive' over 'conventional' approaches.
Whether the inclusion of tumour necrosis factor antagonists or other biologic targeted therapies in such strategies confers
additional benefits in terms of improved long-term outcomes must be clarified by further studies. Assessment of risks in the
individual patient, allowing individual 'tailoring' of the initial treatment, would be desirable. 相似文献

Curcuma longa L. has long been used as a medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine against abdominal disorders. Its active constituent curcumin has anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and cytotoxic properties. In the present investigation, we have analyzed the cytotoxic activity of curcumin and four derivatives. Among these compounds, ethoxycurcumintrithiadiazolaminomethylcarbonate was the most cytotoxic one. The curcumin-type compounds were not cross-resistant to standard anticancer drugs and were not involved in ATP-binding cassette transporter-mediated multidrug resistance. A combined approach of messenger RNA-based microarray profiling, COMPARE analyses and signaling pathway analyses identified genes as determinants of sensitivity and resistance to curcumin and specific signaling routes involved in cellular response to curcumin. These genes may be useful as biomarkers to develop individualized treatment options in the future. From a nutritional point of view, it is a thriving perspective to further investigate whether C. longa may be used as a spice to improve cancer therapy. 相似文献
