    Notes: Summary The cloning and sequence determination is reported of the DNA region of Rhizobium leguminosarum coding for glutamine synthetase II (GSII). An open reading frame (ORF) encoding 326 amino acids was defined as the glnII gene on the basis of its similarity to other glnII genes and the ability of a DNA fragment carrying this ORF to complement the glutamine auxotrophy of a Klebsiella pneumoniae glnA mutant. We find that the glnII gene in R. leguminosarum is transcribed as a monocistronic unit from a single promoter, which shows structural features characteristic of rpoN(ntrA)-dependent promoters. In K. pneumoniae, such promoters require the ntrC and rpoN(ntrA) gene products for transcription. The intracellular level of glnII mRNA changes when R. leguminosarum is grown on different nitrogen sources, as expected for regulation by the nitrogen regulatory system. Promoter deletion analysis has shown that an extensive upstream DNA sequence (316 bp) is essential for in vivo activation of the glnII promoter in different biovars of R. leguminosarum. This DNA region requires a wild-type ntrC gene for activity and includes two conserved putative NtrC-binding site sequences. The results conclusively show that transcription from the R. leguminosarum glnII promoter is fully dependent on positive control by NtrC protein and on an upstream activator sequence (UAS).

    Notes: Summary Serum copper, iron and ceruloplasmin concentrations were determined in 45 subjects (22 males and 23 females, medium age 50.3, range 25–76) diagnosed as psoriatic arthritic patients (20 with poliarticular, 12 with monooligoarticular and 13 with spondyloarticular form), in 63 patients (30 males and 33 females, medium age 32.4, range 10–78) with psoriasis, and in 60 blood donors (32 women and 28 men) as reference group. Mean serum copper,iron and ceruloplasmin was significantly increased (p〈.001) in psoriatic arthritis as compared with controls or subjects with psoriasis alone. The number of synovial joints affected was significantly correlated to changes in these serum parameters. Indeed, serum copper, iron and ceruloplasmin were found to be significantly different from that of normals in the polyarticular subgroup (p〈.001), while only copper and ceruloplasmin were different in the mono-oligoarticular form (p〈.001 and p〈.01 respectively). No significant changes were found in a spondyloarticular subgroup. In the polyarticular subgroup a direct correlation was found between another disease activity marker (e.g. ESR) and serum changes in iron, ceruloplasmin and copper (p〈.001). Our data indicate that psoriatic arthritis is a multifaceted disease: the polyarticular form behaves like seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, while the monoarticular forms shows a lesser involvement of serum iron; spondylitic arthritis does not show any significant change in serum copper, ceruloplasmin and iron concentrations.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Sono stati esaminati 30 pazienti affetti da morbo di Parkinson idiopatico, di cui 13 maschi e 17 femmine, di età compresa tra 50 edi i 70 anni, in terapia stabilizzata con L-Dopa o con Bromocriptina o con entrambe. In tutti i soggetti, questi farmaci non consentivano un adeguato controllo della sintomatologia, con particolare riferimento al tremore. Lasciando invariata la terapia in atto, si è somministrato Bornaprine od und placebo identico, secondo una sequenza randomizzata, in doppio cieco con cross-over. I pazienti sono stati esaminati per mezzo della Webster Rating Scale a tempi predeterminati, prima, durante e dopo ciascuna fase del trattamento con farmaco o con placebo. L'analisi statistica dei risultati ha dimostrato la significativa superiorità del Bornaprine rispetto al placebo nel ridurre il tremore (p〈0.01) e, in minor misura, alcuni altri sintomi della serie parkinsoniana. Non si sono rilevati effetti collaterali di rilievo, sia dal punto di vista clinico sia da quello strumentale. L'unica eccezione è rappresentata dalla maggiore incidenza di xerostomia nel corso del trattamento con farmaco attivo rispetto a quello con placebo.
    Notes: Abstract The study covers 30 patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease, 13 men and 17 women, aged betwen 50 and 70, on stabilized L-Dopa and/or bromocriptine, which failed to ensure adequate control of the symptoms, especially tremor. To this regimen was added Bornaprine/placebo in randomized sequence. The patients were tested according to the Webster Rating Scale before, during and after each stage of the treatment. Statistical analysis of the results showed the superiority of Bornaprine over the placebo in reducing tremor (p〈0.01) and, to a lesser degree, some other parkinsonian symptoms. No noteworthy side effects were found apart from dryness of the mouth, which was more frequent with Bornaprine.
