    Notes: The recent identification of a novel clinical entity, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the rapid subsequent spread and case fatality rates of 14–15% have prompted a massive international collaborative investigation facilitated by a network of laboratories established by the World Health Organization (WHO). As SARS has the potential of becoming the first pandemic of the new millennium, a global warning by the WHO was issued on 12 March 2003. The disease, which is believed to have its origin in the Chinese Guangdong province, spread from Hong Kong via international airports to its current worldwide distribution. The concerted efforts of a globally united scientific community have led to the independent isolation and identification of a novel coronavirus from SARS patients by several groups. The extraordinarily rapid isolation of a causative agent of this newly emerged infectious disease constitutes an unprecedented scientific achievement. The main scope of the article is to provide the clinician with an overview of the natural history, epidemiology and clinical characteristics of SARS. On the basis of the recently published viral genome and structural features common to the members of the coronavirus family, a model for host cell–virus interaction and possible targets for antiviral drugs are presented. The epidemiological consequences of introducing a novel pathogen in a previously unexposed population and the origin and evolution of a new and more pathogenic strain of coronavirus are discussed.

    Notes: Conglutinin and mannose-binding protein (MBP) are members of the C-type lectins which are widely present in mammalian plasma. Serum amyloid P-component (SAP) is a member of the pentraxin family with lectin properties. A scheme for the partial purification of all three lectins by carbohydrate affinity chromatography and selective elution was developed. The purification was monitored by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and electron microscopy. Binding of the lectins to Sephadex-iC3b. their collagenase sensitivity, and the size and antibody reactivity of their subunits was investigated. The demonstration, by SDS-PAGE, of 25-kDa subunits, which were unaffected by collagenase treatment but bound to Sephadex-iC3b and antibodies to human SAP, indicated the existence of bovine SAP. Bovine conglutinin (BK) also showed calcium-dependent binding to Sephadex-iC3b, whereas bovine MBP did not. The binding of BK was inhibitable with GlcNAc. A 3000-fold increase in BK activity (ELISA) was obtained in eluates from Sephadex iC3b. SDS-PAGE analyses of BK and MBP revealed subunits with an Mr of 43 kDa and 30 kDa, respectively. These subunits were sensitive to collagenase treatment which reduced the Mr to 20 kDa. Electron micrographs revealed a prominent flexible tertramer molecule (diameter 96 nm) in the BK preparations, a predominantly hexameric structure (diameter 30 nm) in the MBP preparations, and single annular pentameric disc-like molecules (diameter 11 nm) in the SAP preparations.

    Notes: Conglutinin is a mammalian C-lype lectin which agglutinates iC3b-coated erylhrocytes, Ingram [13] found that euglobulin from bovine serum may confer partial protection against experimental infections in mice. We now present evidence that the protective activity in euglobulin against infections of BALB/c mice with Salmonella typhimurium is mediated by conglutinin. Conglutinin also demonstrated antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. typhimurium in vitro. The expression of this activity required the presence of heat-labile serum factors and peritoneal exudate or spleen cells, but not antibodies to the bacteria. Antibacterial activity was also demonstrated when the bacteria were prelreated with serum at 37°C before incubation with conglutinin and cells. The activity of conglutinin was not observed when factor I-deficient or EDTA-treated serum was used instead of normal serum. The active peritoneal exudate or spleen cells showed adherence to plastic.

    Notes: Human lymphokine-activated monocytes release a cytotoxic protein factor (CF). The cytostatic activity of CF was potentiated by the DNA and RNA synthesis inhibitors actinomycin D, daunomycin, and mitomycin C. These inhibitors increased the sensitivity for detecting CF approximately 10-fold, and this is of great practical value when assaying CF. The CF-potentialing inhibitors had a similar effect on the cell cycle distribution in that they all induced an accumulation of cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. Cytolytic activity was shown to be associated with CF, and this activity was also greatly potentiated by daunomycin and actinomycin D. The two other inhibitors studied, cycloheximide and 5-fIuorouracil (5-FU), had an adverse effect on the cytostatic activity of CF. These two inhibitors reduced the sensitivity of the assay for CF about fivefold. Cycloheximide had no apparent effect on the relative cell cycle distribution, whereas 5-FU induced an accumulation of cells in the G1 phase. Of the inhibitors studied, only those that induced an accumulation of cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle potentiated the cytotoxic activity of CF. suggesting that CF may preferentially act in these parts of the cell cycle.

    Notes: The highly glycosylated envelope glycoprotein (gpl60) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) interacts with the CD4 molecule present on the membrane of CD4+ cells and is involved in the pathobiology of HIV infection. Lectins bind glycoproteins through non-covalent interactions with specific hexose residues. The mammalian C-type lectin bovine conglutinin was examined for its ability to interact with recombinant gpl60 (rgpl60) produced in vaccinia virus-infected BHK21 cells. Specific binding of conglutinin to rgp160 was demonstrated by ELISA. The interaction of bovine conglutinin with rgp160 was calcium-dependent, which is characteristic of the binding of a C-type lectin to its ligand, and the binding was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner with A-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Deglycosylation of rgpl60 abrogated the conglutinin binding. In addition, conglutinin exerted a dose-dependent inhibition of the binding of rgp160 to the CD4 receptor on CEM 13 cells, as demonstrated by FACS analyses. These results indicate that conglutinin may inhibit the infection with HIV-1 through its interaction with the viral envelope glycoprotein.

    Notes: Abstract Intestinal malrotation is most commenly complicated by volvulus in the first weeks of life. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are needed to prevent gangrene of the midgut and peritonitis. When the diagnosis of intestinal malrotation is suspected, a plain X-ray film of the abdomen must be perfomed. In 4 of 21 cases we found a low intestinal obstruction, which was complicated by a high risk of intestinal gangrene and high mortality. These X-ray findings should lead to emergency surgery. If the plain X-ray film shows the “double bubble sign” (N = 14), then intestinal malrotation and volvulus as well as duodenal atresia are possible diagnosis. As both conditions require surgery, no further examinations are necessary. With a nonspecific pattern (N = 3), a barium meal should be performed in order to classify the disease type. We recommend that operation should be performed in most cases based on the findings on the plain X-ray film and that cases with low intestinal obstruction should be operated upon as emergencies.
