    Notes: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo effects of CNS over-expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) on primary sensory neurons. To achieve this objective a transgenic mouse model was generated which bore a chick NGF gene driven by the myelin basic protein promoter. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that high levels of NGF mRNA were detected in the spinal cord of adult transgenic mice. Using immunocytochemistry NGF-immunoreactive (IR) oligodendrocytes were observed throughout the white matter. Furthermore, numerous ectopic substance P (SP)- and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-IR fibres were detected in the white matter of the spinal cord of transgenic mice. NGF-IR oligodendrocytes and ectopic SP- and CGRP- fibres were entirely absent from control mice. In the cervical and lumbar dorsal root ganglia, the percentages of SP-IR neurons were significantly higher in transgenic mice when compared with controls. At the electron microscope level, ectopic SP- and CGRP-IR fibres were characterized as unmyelinated axons and axonal boutons. SP co-localized with CGRP in some of those axonal boutons and fibres. Capsaicin treatment of adult mice completely abolished the ectopic SP-IR fibres, confirming their primary sensory origin. Our results indicate that primary sensory neurons are responsive to NGF over-expression in the CNS. Ectopic SP- and CGRP-IR fibres in the white matter are likely to represent collateral sprouts of the central processes of the dorsal root ganglion cells which were triggered by NGF over-expressed in the myelinating oligodendrocytes in the spinal cord of transgenic mice.

    Notes: Strains of Pediococcus cerevisiae, Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei and Micrococcus varians were studied with the aim of preparing mixed cultures of compatible strains for meat fermentations. Addition of 0.18% nitrite was slightly inhibitory while addition of 7% of a spice mix proved stimulatory. Antibiosis was observed between lactobacilli and pediococci. Micrococcus varians did not produce inhibitory substances toward other cultures and was insensitive to bacteriocins produced by the lactobacilli or the pediococci. Antibioses observed using disk assays were confirmed in mixed acidification trials, and mixes of some fast-acidifying strains were unsuccessful.

    Notes: [Auszug] Transgenic mice were produced by using a construct containing an APP complementary DNA fragment encoding amino acids 591 to 695, which spans the amyloid-forming portion and the carboxy terminus of the human amyloid precursor protein, cloned into the first exon of the human neurofilament NF-L gene ...

    Notes: Abstract Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is a lipoprotein expressed in liver and brain as one of three isoforms (APOE 2, APOE 3 and APOE 4). Recent findings suggest that the presence of APOE 4 is associated with an increased risk for both familial Alzheimer's disease and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. We extended these observations by determining the frequency of APOE alleles in patients with pathologically confirmed Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), diffuse Lewy Body disease (DLBD), AD with concomitant PD pathology, demented PD patients without or with concomitant AD pathology and in schizophrenics with a progressive dementia (SCHIZ+DEM). The APOE genotype was determined by restriction digestion of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA isolated from frozen brain samples. The frequency of the APOE ε4 allele was highest among sporadic AD and DLBD patients (0.30 and 0.38, respectively) and lowest in the SCHIZ+DEM and non-demented PD patients (0.06 and 0.1, respectively). Thus, the APOE ε4 allele is over-represented selectively in patients with dementias associated with plaques and tangles and/or cortical Lewy bodies, but not in demented schizophrenics or non-demented PD patients.
