    Notes: The genes coding for the binding-protein-dependent lactose transport system and β-galactosidase in Agrobacterium radiobacter strain AR50 were cloned and partially sequenced. A novel lac operon was identified which contains genes coding for a lactose-binding protein (lacE), two integral membrane proteins (lacF and lacG), an ATP-binding protein (lacK) and β-galactosidase (lacZ). The operon is transcribed in the order lacEFGZK, The operon is controlled by an upstream regulatory region containing putative -35 and -10 promoter sites, an operator site, a CRP-binding site probably mediating catabolite repression by glucose and galactose, and a regulatory gene (lacl) encoding a repressor protein which mediates induction by lactose and other galactosides in wild-type A. radiobacter (but not in strain AR50, thus allowing constitutive expression of the lac operon). The derived amino acid sequences of the gene products indicate marked similarities with other binding-protein-dependent transport systems in bacteria.

    Notes: Summary Progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) has been described in only six patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Herein we describe an additional patient with HCL and disseminated histoplasmosis. Additionally, we note that three of seven cases of disseminated histoplasmosis and HCL have occurred in East Texas. PDH is to be suspected in febrile HCL patients in an endemic area who fail to respond to antibacterial therapy. We emphasize that serologic studies are useful in the diagnosis of PDH in HCL patients, and these patients respond well to therapy.

    Notes: Abstract The results of 143 women who underwent a modified urethral sling using Marlex mesh for the correction of stress urinary incontinence and latent stress incontinence, as diagnosed by clinical and urodynamic testing, are examined. The overall success rate for the surgical correction of genuine stress urinary incontinence was 99% during a median follow-up time of 1 year (range 0.12–4 years). There was a 12% postoperative incidence of varying degrees of genital prolapse. Difficulty with voiding resulting in the need for self-catheterization occurred in 17% of patients in the first 6 weeks, but only 2.8% were needing self-catheterizing after 1 year. There was a difference in peak flow preoperatively compared with 1 year postoperatively (20.5 ml/s v 15.7 ml/s, P=0.0003). Patients with a normal peak flow preoperatively (〉20 ml/s) were more compromised at 1 year postoperatively (28 ml/s preoperatively, 18.4 ml/s postoperatively, P=0.00001), than women with an abnormal preoperative flow (〈20 ml/s), (13.2 ml/s preoperatively, 13.5 ml/s postoperatively). Whether the operation was done for overt or latent stress incontinence did not affect postoperative flow results. It was not possible to predict by preoperative uroflow testing which patients were likely to need intermittent self-catheterization postoperatively. One year after surgery there were no significant alterations in bladder capacity (CMG) or urethral pressure profile measurements. There were no statistically significant changes in uroflow patterns when comparing primary and secondary surgical groups.

    Notes: Abstract Stimulation of the peripheral end of the right splanchnic nerve (4 Hz for 10 min) in the presence of hexamethonium caused a small but significant rise in mean aortic blood pressure which was subsequently abolished by atropine. There were also small but significant increases in the outputs of catecholamines, [Met5]-enkephalins and corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) from the right adrenal gland. The catecholamine response was roughly halved after atropine while the outputs of enkephalins and CRF were unaffected. It is concluded that splanchnic sympathetic postganglionic neurones supplying the vasculature are completely blocked by cholinergic blockade whereas adrenal medullary responses persist in an attenuated form.

    Notes: Abstract Pristane is a naturally occurring isoprenoid which is believed to be derived from the phytyl moiety of chlorophyll. Thus it is not surprising that pristane is present in many common fruits or vegetables and furthermore can be detected in tissues of fish and mammals. Using the rat as an animal model, pristane can function as a potent tumor promoter. It is conceivable that pristane could play a role in the development of certain malignancies in higher mammals since it is commonly found in the diet. At the molecular level, pristane can induce changes in the plasma membrane, alter the conformation of chromatin, as well as selectively activate gene expression. This study was undertaken to identify specific transcriptional motifs which are responsive to pristane. A transcriptional promoter which contained a cAMP response element (CRE) was consistently stimulated by pristane in several mouse and primate cell lines. A promoter construct which contained a single copy of the TPA response element (TRE) was also activated by pristane but surprisingly a promoter which contained multiple copies of the TRE was not. Activation of the TRE required 10 fold higher concentrations of pristane relative to activation of the CRE. Within two hours after addition of pristane to monkey fibroblasts (CV-1) levels of cAMP were increased more than two fold relative to controls. These data indicated that pristane can increase the level of cAMP in CV-1 cells and consequently stimulate transcriptional promoters which contain a CRE.

    Notes: Abstract The common shrew (Sorex araneus) is a solitary small mammal with a promiscuous mating system. Previous studies of this species suggest that females typically mate multiply, and that males may adopt alternative mate-searching tactics. We studied two generations of common shrews in a population near Oxford, England. Males were found to adopt two different mate-searching tactics. Those classed as type A occupied relatively small exclusive ranges during March, and made repeated long-distance movements to visit female ranges around the time of first oestrus in April. Males classed as type B established large overlapping ranges in areas of relatively high female density during March, and maintained these ranges throughout April. Type B males were larger than type A males at an early stage of sexual maturation, but there was no difference in the adult body size of the two types of male. Type A males had significantly higher epididymal sperm counts than type B males. Paternity analyses of litters born during the first year of the study reveal that the mean number of offspring fathered by type B males was greater than the mean number fathered by type A males. It is concluded that different mate-searching tactics may be conditional upon the timing of sexual maturation. Differences in sperm production are discussed in relation to sperm competition theory.

    Notes: Abstract Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory condition of the large bowel associated with åbnormalities of mucin synthesis and secretion. In the present study, glycans were identified in 45 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples from patients with ulcerative colitis. The tissue samples represented a spectrum of inflammation from chronic quiescent disease to severe inflammation. Thirteen biotinylated lectins, directed against a range of sialyl, fucosyl andN-acetylgalactosaminyl sequences, were applied using an avidin-peroxidase revealing system. The results were assessed semiquantitatively for a number of cellular sites. The expression of all sialyl sequences was increased in absorptive cells and in goblet cells and the expression of α2–6-linked sialyl sequences was enhanced in proportion to the degree of inflammation, while α2–3-linked sialyl sequences were diminished in more severe inflammation. The binding ofN-acetylgalactosaminyl-directed lectins was increased in the Golgi apparatus, while there was a reduction in the expression of α-fucosyl sequences in severe degrees of inflammation. This suggests that there is an increased biosynthetic rate for sialyl residues in all stages of disease with a reduction in α2–3-linked sialyl and fucosyl sequences in severe inflammation, and a shift from storedN-acetylgalactosaminyl sequences in goblet cells to an earlier form in the Golgi apparatus. The changes in sialyl sequences are a feature of ulcerative colitis even in quiescent disease and may be related to its aetiology and early pathogenesis, while most of the other changes reflect the severity of the disease and are probably part of its later pathogenesis or of induced reactive changes.

    Notes: Abstract The PVT format described here has been designed to store and retrieve genetic data on plasmids, viruses or transposons with special focus on their applications. Both naturally-occurring and engineered elements can be included in it. A variety of data can be accommodated in fields that are grouped in blocks: name and type of element, database administration, element administration, history, propagation, selection and host, biological properties, cloned insert and applications. The number of fields, now 157, can be expanded as required. Most properties can be described in simple logical fields. The format is organized to permit rapid searches and to facilitate communication between database and user; connection with culture and/or DNA collections is also envisaged and adequate fields for these tasks have been provided. The format allows cross-reference with that originated by the Microbial Information Network Europe (MINE) for computer storage and handling of bacterial or fungal strain data.
