    Notes: Levels of the melanocortin receptor (MCR) 1, 2, 3 and 5 subtypes and pro-opio-melanocortin (POMC) protein mRNA were measured by the real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method in CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, CD8+ T cytotoxic cells, CD19+ B cells, CD56+ natural killer (NK) cells, CD14+ monocytes and CD15+ granulocytes from healthy donors. We found high levels of all of the MC1, 2, 3 and 5R subtype mRNA in Th cells and moderate levels in NK cells, monocytes and granulocytes. POMC peptide mRNA was found in all examined leucocyte subsets, but only low levels were present in granulocytes. Our findings suggest a co-ordinating role for MCR subtypes and their naturally occurring ligands in the co-operation between innate and adaptive immunity. Moreover, our findings are compatible with earlier finding of MCR-mediated tolerance induction in Th cells.

    Notes: Background:  The inflammatory mechanisms of hypertonic saline-induced bronchoconstriction are not well understood.Methods:  Seventeen asthmatics with (n = 11) and without bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) (n = 6) and 18 randomly selected nonatopic nonasthmatic controls without BHR were evaluated by urine samples collected before and 1 h after hypertonic saline provocation test. Histamine, 11β-PGF2α, and LTE4 were analysed by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and eosinophil protein X (EPX) by radioimmunoassay (RIA).Results:  The levels of leukotriene E4 (LTE4) increased significantly after the challenge tests, both in the asthmatics (median: 354 pg/mg pre-challenge vs. 628 pg/mg post-challenge; P = 0.05) and in the controls (median: 294 pg/mg pre-challenge vs. 460 pg/mg post-challenge; P 〈 0.01). The levels of histamine also increased significantly in the latter (median: 299 μmol/mg pre-challenge vs. 569 μmol/mg post-challenge; P = 0.03). However, the levels of 11β-PGF2α and EPX did not change significantly after the challenge tests either in the asthmatics or in the controls.Conclusions:  The inhalation of hypertonic saline increased urinary excretion of LTE4 both in the asthmatics and in the controls. The slight increase of leukotrienes was enough to induce airway obstruction in some of the asthmatics, because of the hyperresponsiveness in their airways.

    Notes: Summary The concentration of ammonium in the medium of anEscherichia coli fermentation during ammonium limitation was followed by means of a newly developed semiconductor device, the ammonia gas-sensitive thin platinum metal oxide semiconductor structure (Pt-TMOS). It has been shown that the ammonia sensitivity of the sensor was sufficient for determination of ammonium concentrations at growth limitation due to ammonium depletion. Furthermore, the corresponding ATP concentration and dissolved oxygen tension during the progress of the fermentation was followed.

    Notes: Abstract The selective D2-dopamine receptor antagonist raclopride and its pharmacologically inactive (R)-enantiomer FLB472 were labelled with 11C and used in a study with positron emission tomography to examine the stereoselectivity of 11C-raclopride binding to central D2-dopamine receptors in three healthy men. After the injection of 11C-raclopride, there was a high accumulation of radioactivity in the dopamine-rich basal ganglia, whereas after the injection of 11C-FLB472 there was no such accumulation of radioactivity. Thus, the binding of 11C-raclopride is stereoselective. Distribution ratios [radioactivity in a brain region/“free” (not protein-bound) radioactivity in plasma] were calculated for the two enantiomers to study regional differences in the accumulation of radioactivity. The distribution ratios in white matter were similar for the two enantiomers. In the putamen, a three to four-fold higher distribution ratio was found for 11C-raclopride than for 11C-FLB472, reflecting the presence of specific binding of 11C-raclopride binding to D2-dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia. In the temporal and frontal cortices the distribution ratios were, however, only a few per cent higher for 11C-raclopride than for 11C-FLB472, indicating that if D2-dopamine receptors are present in the human neocortex, then their density is indeed very low.

    Notes: Abstract Molecular dynamics simulations in vacuum and with a water sphere around the active site were performed on the 2′GMP-RNase T1 complex. The presence of water led to the maintenance of the 2′-GMP-RNase T1 interactions as compared to the X-ray structure, including the hydrogen bonds implicated in the enzyme-inhibitor recognition process. The sidechain of His92 in the molecular dynamics water simulation, however, hydrogen bonds directly to the phosphate of 2′GMP in contrast to the X-ray structure but in support of the role of that residue in the enzyme's catalytic mechanism. Fluctuations of activesite residues are not strongly influenced by water, possibly owing to the exclusion of water by the bound 2′GMP, which did show an increase in mobility. Analysis of the 2′GMP-RNase T1 interactions versus time reveal an equilibrium fluctuation in the presence of water, leading to a less favorable 2′GMP-RNase T1 interaction energy, suggesting a possible relationship between picosecond fluctuations and inhibitor dissociation occurring in the millisecond time domain.
