    Notes: Abstract MRI of the optic nerves was obtained in 13 patients with acute optic neuritis and 13 with a previous optic neuritis (ON), assessed by clinical features, visual fields and visual evoked potentials. Results of the conventional short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence obtained with a short echo time (STE-STIR; 22 ms) were compared with those of a long echo time (LTE-STIR: 80 ms) sequence. The conventional STE-STIR sequence revealed lesions in the optic nerves in 78.5 % of acute and 58.8 % of previous ON. The LTE-STIR sequence showed abnormalities in 92.8 % of acutely symptomatic nerves and 94.1 % of nerves with previous ON. The optic nerve lesions appeared significantly longer with the LTE-STIR sequence than with the conventional STE-STIR sequences, in both acute and previous ON.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario I 20 pazienti affetti da Neurite Ottica (NO), descritti nel precedente lavoro [23] sono stati sottoposti a registrazioni seriali multicanali dei Potenziali Evocati Visivi (PEV), per un periodo di 2 anni dall'esordio della NO. I PEV potevano correlare con le lesioni evidenziate con la Risonanza Magnetica, con le alterazioni campimetriche e con altri reperti clinici. Basandoci sulla loro distribuzione in mappa, i PEV sono stati classificati come realmente “ritardati” e “pseudo-ritardati”. PEV realmente “ritardati” potevano essere registrati all'esordio, o precocemente dopo l'episodio di NO, e la presenza del “ritardo” stava ad indicare un recupero della funzione visiva e, quindi, una prognosi fausta. Gli “pseudo-ritardi” indicavano un'alterazione del campo visivo a prognosi non favorevole per un recupero della funzione visiva, a meno che entro i primi 3 mesi dalla NO si fosse verificata una ricomparsa di componenti normali o “ritardate”. Gli “pseudo-ritardi” erano rilievi caratteristici nei pazienti con lesioni maggiormente lunghe alle immagini LTE-STIR MRI [23]. Nessuna correlazione è stata trovata tra latenza dei PEV e lunghezza delle placche. I nostri rilievi sono in disaccordo con precedenti teorie relative ai tempi di instaurazione-recupero delle alterazioni di conduzione nella NO e nella Sclerosi Multipla.
    Notes: Abstract Twenty patients with optic neuritis (ON) described in the previous study [23] underwent serial VEP recordings (using multiple electrode arrays) for two years. The VEPs could be correlated with the lesions revealed by MRI, Visual Field tests and other clinical findings. On the basis of their scalp distribution, they were classified as “really delayed” VEPs and “pseudo-delayed” VEPs. Real delays could be recorded at the onset of ON or shortly afterwards, and their appearance indicated the recovery of visual function and a good prognosis. Pseudo-delays indicated an alteration in the visual field and, unless a breakthrough of normal or delayed components appeared in the first three months, following acute ON, indicate a poor prognosis for the recovery of visual function. The pseudo-delayed VEPs were mainly observed in patients with longer lesions revealed by means of LTE-STIR MRI [23]; there was no correlation between VEP latency and the length of plaques. Our findings contradict previous theories on the timing of conduction alterations in ON and multiple sclerosis.

    Notes: Transverse pulsed-field electrophoresis of DNA has been conducted in a silicon array engineered by optical lithography and the motion of individual molecules observed by fluorescence microscopy. In strong fields, the molecules can be maintained in highly stretched, linear conformations. When the field is switched through an obtuse angle, they head off in the new direction led by what was formerly their tail end. This backtracking gives rise to fractionation that is linear with molecular weight. A simple prescription exists for choosing the field parameters to obtain a particular range of separation. Since the molecular motions are much more uniform than those that occur in a gel, it is anticipated that the arrays will permit more efficient fractionation than traditional pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Arrays suitably scaled down in size may be useful for pulsed-field sequencing.

    Notes: Short tandem repeat polymorphism (STRP) markers have become important reagents for mapping genetic diseases. These markers are available as screening sets, which are located in all chromosomes at discrete intervals, allowing the entire genome to be analyzed. Mapping studies that include many individuals in the analysis necessitate the production of large numbers of genotypes. In an effort to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of using these STRP screening sets, we have divided the amplification primers of the Weber 8A screening set into groups that can be amplified in single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification reactions, resulting in a reduction of both time and cost. Fluorescently-labeled amplification products were produced using a three primer reaction. The forward STRP amplification primer for each marker contained a 19 bp sequence at the 5′ end. A fluorescently-labeled primer, with a sequence identical to the 19 bp tail, was added to the amplification reaction as the sole source of fluorescent label. The STRP banding pattern is detected using an automated fluorescent DNA sequencer. Use of this multiplexed genomic screening set should greatly enhance the mapping of human disease loci.
