Introduction
Ultrasonography (US) might have an added value to clinical examination in diagnosing early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assessing remission of RA. We aimed to clarify the added value of US in RA in these situations performing a systematic review.Methods
A systematic literature search was performed for RA, US, diagnosis and remission. Methodological quality was assessed; the wide variability in the design of studies prohibited pooling of results.Results
Six papers on the added value of US diagnosing early RA were found, in which at least bilateral metacarpophalangeal (MCP), wrists and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints were scanned. Compared to clinical examination, US was superior with regard to detecting synovitis and predicting progression to persistent arthritis or RA. Eleven papers on assessing remission were identified, in which at least the wrist and the MCP joints of the dominant hand were scanned. Often US detected inflammation in patients clinically in remission, irrespective of the remission criteria used. Power Doppler signs of synovitis predicted X-ray progression and future flare in patients clinically in remission.Conclusions
US appears to have added value to clinical examination for diagnosing of RA when scanning at least MCP, wrist and MTP joints, and, when evaluating remission of RA, scanning at least wrist and MCP joints of the dominant hand. For both purposes primarily power Doppler US might be used since its results are less equivocal than those of greyscale US. 相似文献4.

In the present study, culf uterine tissue has been used for isolation of androgen receptors. This tissue appeared to be a favourable source for large-scale purification of androgen receptors, because of the relatively high level of androgen receptors and the low concentration of proteolytic enzymes. The purification involved differential phosphocellulose and DNA affinity chromatography as first steps. The non-transformed receptor was passed through these matrices in order to remove contaminating DNA-binding proteins. After a transformation step to the DNA-binding state, the receptor was bound to DNA cellulose and subsequently eluted with MgCl2. A 0.5% pure androgen receptor preparation was obtained. Photoaffinity labelling with [3H]R1881 (methyltrienolone) was used to determine the size of the receptor at this stage of purification and during the following steps. Subsequently, isoelectric focussing of the partially purified androgen receptor preparation in an aqueous glycerol gradient was performed. In this step, the progesterone receptor, which is copurified with the androgen receptor protein during the first part of the purification procedure, focussed at pH 5.5, while the androgen receptor could be isolated at pH 5.8. The isoelectric focussing procedure could be applied in a preparative way for further purification of androgen receptors. After this step an approx. 8% pure preparation was obtained. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of S-carboxymethylated androgen receptor was used as the final purification step. The [3H]methyltrienolone labelled androgen receptor from calf uterus was purified to homogeneity and consisted of one polypeptide with a molecular mass of 110 kDa. 相似文献

Many hyperthermophilic microorganisms show heterotrophic growth on a variety of carbohydrates. There has been considerable
fundamental and applied interest in the utilization of glucose and its α- and β-polymers by hyperthermophiles. While glycolysis
by Bacteria at high temperatures shows conventional characteristics, it has been found that glucose catabolism by hyperthermophilic
Archaea differs from the canonical glycolytic pathways, involves novel enzymes, and shows a unique control. This review addresses
these aspects with specific attention to Pyrococcus furiosus, which is one of the best studied hyperthermophilic Archaea, has the capacity to grow on a variety of sugars including the
marine β-(1,3)-linked glucose polymer laminarin, and has been found to contain three novel glycolytic enzymes, two ADP-dependent
kinases, and a ferredoxin-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate oxidoreductase.

Introduction
The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum biomarker levels of C2C, C1,2C, CS846, and CPII can predict the long-term course of disease activity and radiographic progression early in the disease course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). 相似文献7.
Seed dormancy release and germination of Corispermum lehmannianum Bunge were tested using various treatments: temperature, cold stratification, gibberelins (GA3), dry storage and sand burial. Results showed that temperature and light did not affect the germination of fresh seeds, cold stratification and GA3 could improve seed germination, whereas dry storage and sand burial did not. The germination percentage was highest at 35/20 °C after the cold stratification and GA3 treatments. Corispermum lehmannianum seeds were classified as non-deep, Type-2, physiological dormancy (PD), whose seed dormancy could be released by cold stratification and GA3. 相似文献

A cDNA clone has been isolated from a library prepared of mRNA of human breast cancer T47D cells with an oligonucleotide probe homologous to part of the region encoding the DNA-binding domain of steroid receptors. The clone has a size of 1505 bp and sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1356 bp. The deduced amino acid sequence displays two highly conserved regions identified as the putative DNA-binding and hormone binding domains respectively of steroid receptors. Expression of this cDNA clone in COS cells produces a nuclear protein with all the binding characteristics of the human androgen receptor (hAR). The gene encoding the cDNA is assigned to the human X-chromosome. High levels of three hybridizing mRNA species of 11, 8.5 and 4.7 kb respectively are found in the human prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP), which contains elevated levels of hAR. The present data provide evidence that we have isolated a cDNA that encodes a major part of the human androgen receptor. 相似文献

The Bcl-2 proteins Bax and Bak can permeabilize the outer mitochondrial membrane and commit cells to apoptosis. Pro-survival Bcl-2 proteins control Bax by constant retrotranslocation into the cytosol of healthy cells. The stabilization of cytosolic Bax raises the question whether the functionally redundant but largely mitochondrial Bak shares this level of regulation. Here we report that Bak is retrotranslocated from the mitochondria by pro-survival Bcl-2 proteins. Bak is present in the cytosol of human cells and tissues, but low shuttling rates cause predominant mitochondrial Bak localization. Interchanging the membrane anchors of Bax and Bak reverses their subcellular localization compared to the wild-type proteins. Strikingly, the reduction of Bax shuttling to the level of Bak retrotranslocation results in full Bax toxicity even in absence of apoptosis induction. Thus, fast Bax retrotranslocation is required to protect cells from commitment to programmed death. 相似文献
