    Notes: Protein modification by ADP-ribose polymers is a common regulatory mechanism in eukaryotic cells and is involved in several aspects of brain physiology and physiopathology, including neurotransmission, memory formation, neurotoxicity, ageing and age-associated diseases. Here we show age-related misregulation of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis in rat cerebellum as revealed by: (i) reduced poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activation in response to enzymatic DNA cleavage, (ii) altered protein poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation profiles in isolated nuclei, and (iii) cell type-specific loss of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation capacity in granule cell layer and Purkinje cells in vivo. In particular, although PARP-1 could be detected in virtually all granule cells, only a fraction of them appeared to be actively engaged in poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis and this fraction was reduced in old rat cerebellum. NAD+, quantified in tissue homogenates, was essentially the same in the cerebellum of young and old rats suggesting that in vivo factors other than PARP-1 content and/or NAD+ levels may be responsible for the age-associated lowering of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. Moreover, PARP-1 expression was substantially down-regulated in Purkinje cells of senescent rats.

    Notes: Infection by any of the four serotypes of dengue viruses (DEN-1, -2, -3 and -4) may result in either a relatively benign fever, called dengue fever (DF), a fatal disease, such as dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Several lines of evidence suggest that soluble immune response mediators may be involved in the severity of dengue infections. For instance, elevated seric levels of IL-8 are a common feature in DHF patients. Because other chemokines, cytokines, adhesion molecules, chemokine and cytokine receptors, as well as cytokine-related molecules may also be involved in dengue virus pathogenesis, we aimed at analysing the gene expression of such molecules in the course of an in vitro DEN-2 infection of human peripheral blood monocyte-derived macrophages, a cell type regarded as a primary target for DEN. Nylon membrane gene arrays containing 375 different human cytokine-related genes were used as a first step to search for differentially expressed genes upon infection. Transcripts for IL-8, IL-1β, osteopontin, GRO-α, -β and -γ, I-309, and some other molecules showed to be upregulated upon infection, whereas others such as MIC-1, CD27L and CD30L, were downregulated. Four genes were selected for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction based gene-expression analysis as a way to partially confirm microarray results. This approach pointed out 25 macrophage-expressed cytokine-related genes that could be relevant in DEN-2 pathogenesis.

    Notes: Helicobacter pylori has attracted increasing attention among gastroenterologists because of its pathogenic potential, stimulating the search for non-invasive diagnostic tests.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aims:In this study the efficacy of a new enzyme immunoassay designed to detect H. pylori antigens in stools (HpSA) was evaluated before and after eradication therapy.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:HpSA was performed on stool samples collected from 268 patients whose H. pylori status was defined on the basis of concordant results for the 13C-urea breath test, rapid urease test and histology. The H. pylori-positive patients were treated with a 1-week triple therapy to eradicate the infection. One (T30) and 3 months (T90) after the end of therapy, 13C-urea breath test and HpSA were repeated in the treated patients.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:The overall diagnostic accuracy of HpSA at T30 (83%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 77–89%) was significantly lower in comparison to the values obtained at baseline (94%, 95% CI: 91–97%) and at T90 (97%, 95% CI: 94–99%). No significant difference was found between the diagnostic accuracy of HpSA at baseline and at T90 (P=0.253).〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:The present data suggest that HpSA provides a low diagnostic accuracy when used shortly after treatment. It needs a longer period of follow-up (8–12 weeks) to reach a reliability comparable to the 13C-urea breath test.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'administration d'insuline cristallisée à des rats thyroparathyroidectomisés provoque une augmentation de la calcémie et de la phosphorémie. Le calcium plasmatique s'élève de façon linéaire entre 31 et 250 m Unités d'insuline/100 g de poids corporel. La courbe obtenue n'est guère différente de celle obtenue par extrait parathyroidien. L'administration simultanée d'insuline et d'extrait parathyroidien à des rats thyro-parathyroidectomisés agit sur la calcémie et la phosphorémie par un effet additif. Lorsque des os frontaux d'embryons de poulet sont cultivésin vitro en présence d'insuline cristallisée, le taux de résorption augmente. L'insuline augmente le taux de consommation en glucose des explants et induit une accumulation de citrate dans le milieu de culture. L'insuline stimule donc la résorption osseuse.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Der Plasmagehalt an Calcium und Phosphor bei thyroparathyreoidektomierten Ratten wurde durch die Verabreichung von kristallinem Insulin erhöht. Das Plasmacalcium verhielt sich zwischen 31 und 250 m Einheiten Insulin pro 100 g Körpergewicht linear. Die Steigung der erhaltenen Kurve ist nicht signifikant verschieden von derjenigen, die nach Parathyreoidea-Extrakt erhalten wird. Die gleichzeitige Verabreichung von Insulin und Parathyreoidea-Extrakt von thyroparathyreoidektomierten Ratten hatte eine kumulative Wirkung auf den Gehalt von Calcium und Phosphor im Plasma. Wenn Stirnbeine von Kükenembryos mit kristallinem Insulinin vitro kultiviert wurden, erhöhte sich die Resorptionsrate. Das Insulin steigerte den Glucoseverbrauch der Explantate und verursachte eine Anreicherung von Citrat im Kulturmedium. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf eine Stimulation der Knochenresorption durch Insulin.
    Notes: Abstract the administration of crystalline insulin to thyroparathyroidectomized rats raised their calcium and phosphorus plasma levels. The plasma calcium gave a linear response between 31 and 250 mU of insulin/100 g body weight. The slope obtained is not significantly different from that obtained with parathyroid extract. The simultaneous administration of insulin and parathyroid extract to thyroparathyroidectomized rats affected the calcium and phosphorus plasma levels in an additive fashion. When chick embryo frontal bones were cultivatedin vitro with crystalline insulin the rate of resorption increased. Insulin increased the rate of glucose consumption by the explants and induced the accumulation of citrate in the culture medium. It is concluded that insulin stimulates bone resorption.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is about the causality structure of systems in Hilbert spaces. While treatments on the subjects are usually confined to systems which enjoy properties such as linearity, boundedness, or nonpredictive behavior, here, all these properties play no essential role. As a consequence, new and more general results are obtained. These results concern the concepts of causality, anticausality, and crosscausality, and give necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a general system into the sum of causal, anticausal, and crosscausal components.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les effets des androgènes (déhydroépiandrostérone et testostérone) sur le métabolisme des hydrates de carbone ont été étudiés en utilisant deux modèles expérimentaux. Le premier fait appel à la culturein vitro d'os embryonnaires d'oiseaux. Dans le deuxième modèle, on utilise des os non embryonnaires de mammifères, en cours d'ossification enchondralein vivo. Dans les deux cas, on note une augmentation de l'activité de la glucose-6-phosphate déhydrogénase et une oxydation différente de la glucose-1-14C et glucose-6-14C. Ces faits indiquent un changement dans le métabolisme du glucose allant vers la voie oxydative directe. En plus, le traitement provoque une hyperplasie de la couche hypertrophique dans l'épiphyse osseuse chez les souris prépubères.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Wirkungen von Androgenen (Dehydroepiandrosteron und Testosteron) auf den Kohlenhydratumsatz von Knochen mittels 2 experimenteller Modelle untersucht: einerseits anin vitro gezüchteten Bindegewebsknochen von Hühnerembryonen und andererseitsin vivo an nichtembryonalen Säugetierknochen mit endochondraler Ossifikation. In beiden Modellen läßt die Aktivitätszunahme der Glucose-6-phosphat-dehydrogenase und die unterschiedliche Oxydation von Glucose-1-14C und Glucose-6-14C eine Verschiebung des Glucosemetabolismus gegen den direkten oxydativen Abbau vermuten. Weiterhin erzeugt eine Behandlung mit diesen Hormonen eine Hyperplasie der hypertrophen Zellschicht an der Epiphysenplatte von vorpubertären Mäusen.
    Notes: Abstract An investigation on the effects of androgens (dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone) on the carbohydrate metabolism of bone was carried out with two experimental models: avian embryonic membranous bone cultivatedin vitro, and mammal non-embryonic bone of endochondral ossificationin vivo. In both models, the increase in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the differential oxidation of glucose-1-14C and glucose-6-14C suggest a shift in glucose metabolism toward the direct oxidative pathway. In addition, treatment with these hormones produces hyperplasia of the hypertrophic cell layer at the epiphyseal plate of prepubertal mice.

    Polymorphism in the location of the 18S and 28S rRNA genes on the chromosomes of the diploid-tetraploid treefrogs Hyla chrysoscelis and H. versicolor (1989)

    Notes: Abstract The chromosomes of the diploid Hyla chrysoscelis and its tetraploid sibling species H. versicolor were studied with AgNO3 staining and in situ hybridization to determine the chromosome location of the 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. A total of 236 Hyla chrysoscelis from 34 localities in 15 U.S. states and 100 H. versicolor from 15 localities in 12 states were examined. The rRNA gene sites were extremely variable in H. chrysoscelis, and also variable, but to a lesser extent, in H. versicolor. The most common rRNA gene site in both H. chrysoscelis and H. versicolor was on the short arm of chromosome 6. All of the rRNA gene locations seen in H. versicolor were also seen in H. chrysoscelis, supporting the hypothesis that the tetraploid H. versicolor arose from H. chrysoscelis. Although polymorphic rRNA gene sites in H. versicolor may reflect the positions of the rRNA genes in H. chrysoscelis ancestors, the origin of the extreme variability of such sites in H. chrysoscelis seems more obscure. Possible explanations include inversions, translocations, mobile genetic elements or a combination of some or all of these.

    Notes: Summary The antihypertensive efficacy of a new long-lasting vasodilator, cadralazine, and the diuretic chlorthalidone have been compared in hypertensive patients receiving concurrent treatment with atenolol. After a 4-week run-in period with atenolol alone 100 mg/day, two groups of 10 patients whose diastolic blood pressure exceeded 100 mm Hg were given for a period of 65 days either cadralazine 15 mg/day or chlorthalidone 25 mg/day, according to a randomized, double-blind, between-patients design. Compared to atenolol alone, both cadralazine and chlorthalidone induced a statistically and clinically significant decrease in blood pressure. The antihypertensive effect did not differ significantly between groups. Good compensation of the atenolol-induced decrease in heart rate was obtained with cadralazine, whereas during atenolol + chlorthalidone treatment at times the standing heart rate was significantly lower than during treatment with atenolol + cadralazine. Side-effects, many of which were already present during atenolol treatment, occurred with a similar frequency in both groups. It is concluded that atenolol + cadralazine and atenolol + chlorthalidone are equally well tolerated, acceptable and effective in the treatment of hypertension, but that further studies are warranted to explore the potential haemodynamic advantages of the cadralazine + atenolol combination.
