    Notes: Abstract Five patients with Paget's disease involving the patella were evaluated for the following radiographic features: trabecular pattern, cortical integrity, density, and size of the affected patella. Radiographic appearances consisted of minimal trabecular coarsening in the patella of nearly normal size and progressed to considerable cortical thickening and osteoblastic remodeling in a dramatically enlarged patella. The radiologic features of Paget's disease of the patella are distinctive and should obviate biopsy.

    Notes: Abstract This study reports 42 cases of histologically proven and radiographically correlated primary patellar tumors. Despite diverse histologic diagnoses, the radiographic appearances of benign as opposed to malignant patellar neoplasms are essentially indistinguishable. Although the literature suggests that giant cell tumor is the most frequent benign tumor of the patella, the most common benign neoplasm in this series is chondroblastoma (16 cases). Only four primary malignant lesions were encountered, three cases of lymphoma and one case of hemangioendothelioma. Since 38 (90%) of the 42 cases were benign, a benign etiology should be strongly favored, notwithstanding the radiographic appearance, whenever a primary patellar tumor is encountered.

    Notes: Abstract This study reviews 16 cases of chondroblastoma of the patella which constitute nearly 6% of a large group of chondroblastomas scattered throughout the skeleton. Both radiologic and histologic appearances of chondroblastomas of the patella are indistinguishable from those of chondroblastomas arising in other sites. A reasonable differential diagnosis, including chondromalacia patella, is discussed together with important therapeutic considerations.

    Notes: Summary In rabbit ileum, Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) appears to be involved in physiologically inhibiting the linked NaCl absorptive process, since inhibitors of Ca2+/CaM stimulate linked Na+ and Cl− absorption. The role of Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation in regulation of the brush-border Na+/H+ antiporter, which is believed to be part of the neutral linked NaCl absorptive process, was studied using purified brush-border membrane vesicles, which contain both the Na+/H+ antiporter and Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase(s) and its phosphoprotein substrates. Rabbit ileal villus cell brush-border membrane vesicles were prepared by Mg precipitation and depleted of ATP. Using a freezethaw technique, the ATP-depleted vesicles were loaded with Ca2+, CaM, ATP and an ATP-regenerating system consisting of creatine kinase and creatine phosphate. The combination of Ca2+/CaM and ATP inhibited Na+/H+ exchange by 45±13%. This effect was specific since Ca2+/CaM and ATP did not alter diffusive Na+ uptake, Na+-dependent glucose entry, or Na+ or glucose equilibrium volumes. The inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger by Ca2+/CaM/ATP was due to an effect on theV max and not on theK m for Na+. In the presence of CaM and ATP, Ca2+ caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of Na+ uptake, with an effect 50% of maximum occurring at 120nm. This Ca2+ concentration dependence was similar to the Ca2+ concentration dependence of Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation of specific proteins in the vesicles. The Ca2+/CaM/ATP-inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange was reversed by W13, a Ca2+/CaM antagonist, but not by a hydrophobic control, W12, or by H-7, a protein kinase C antagonist. we conclude that Ca2+, acting through CaM, regulates ileal brush-border Na+/H+ exchange, and that this may be involved in the regulation of neutral linked NaCl absorption.

    Notes: Summary 1. Adenosine analogues inhibit calcium-dependent K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from guinea pig cerebral cortical and hippocampal vesicular preparations. Inhibition requires high concentrations (100µM) of the adenosine analogues and is abolished in the presence of high concentrations (2 mM) of calcium ions. The inhibitory effect of 2-chloroadenosine is blocked by theophylline. The structure activity profile (N 6-d-phenylisopropyladenosine ≥N 6-l-phenylisopropyladenosine ≥ 2-chloroadenosine 〉N 6-cyclohexyladenosine, adenosine 5′-cyclopropylcar-boxamide) is not that expected of either A1 (high-affinity) or A2 (low-affinity) adenosine receptors. 2. Calcium-dependent K+-evoked release of [3H]dopamine from guinea pig striatal vesicular preparations is inhibited by apomorphine. However, only 2-chloroadenoine causes an inhibition of K+-evoked release of [3H]dopamine. Other adenosine analogues such asd- andl-phenylisopropyladenosine and adenosine 5′-cyclopropylcar-boxamide cause a facilitation of K+-evoked release. The facilitation is abolished or reduced in the presence of high concentrations (2 mM) of calcium ions. The sites of action of adenosine analogues do not appear to have structural requirements identical to those expected of A1 (high-affinity) or A2 (low-affinity) adenosine receptors. 3. The results indicate that adenosine analogues can have either inhibitory or facilitory effects on K+-evoked release of catecholamines from central synaptic terminals.

    Notes: Summary 1. The calcium-dependent K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from guinea pig cerebral cortical vesicular preparations is inhibited by norepinephrine, clonidine, and epinephrine. Isoproterenol has no effect and phentolamine prevents the inhibition by norepinephrine. The results indicate that anα-adrenergic receptor mediates an inhibitory input to the calcium-dependent release process. The inhibition by norepinephrine is prevented by high concentrations (3.0 mM) of calcium ions. 2. A cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, ZK 62771, slightly elevates [3H]cyclic AMP levels in the guinea pig cerebral cortical preparation and potentiates the marked elevation of [3H]cyclic AMP elicited by the adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin. 3. Neither ZK 62771 nor forskolin alone has significant effects on K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from the cerebral cortical vesicular preparation; however, a combination of ZK 62771 and forskolin inhibits K+-evoked release by as much as 60%. The inhibition is reversed by high concentrations (2.0 mM) of calcium ions. The results suggest that a marked accumulation of cyclic AMP elicited via both activation of adenylate cyclase and inhibition of phosphodiesterase can be inhibitory to neurotransmitter release from central synaptic terminals.

    Notes: Summary 1. The calcium antagonists D-600 (1–10µM) and diltiazem (10–25µM) inhibit K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine from guinea pig cerebral cortical vesicular preparations. The inhibition of release is partially reversed by increasing concentrations of calcium to 2 mM. Diltiazem at 100µM has no effect on K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine at 0.15 mM calcium but does inhibit release at 2.0 mM calcium. 2. The calcium antagonist nifedipine and dantrolene, an agent purported to antagonize release of calcium from intracellular storage sites, have no effect on K+-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine. 3. The calcium antagonists D-600 (1µM) and diltiazem (10µM) inhibit K+-evoked release of [3H]dopamine from guinea pig striatal vesicular preparations. Higher concentrations of drug, namely, 10µM for D-600 and 100µM for diltiazem, cause a potentiation rather than an inhibition of K+-evoked release. The potentiation is reduced in magnitude upon raising the extracellular calcium to 2.0 mM. Indeed, 10µM D-600 then inhibits K+-evoked release of [3H]dopamine. 4. The results indicate that putative calcium antagonists can have both inhibitory and facilitory effects on calcium-dependent K+-evoked release of catecholamines from central synaptic endings. Furthermore, certain peripheral calcium antagonists such as nifedipine and dantrolene may prove ineffective in central systems.

    Notes: The X-ray crystal structure of CTP-ligated T state aspartate transcarbamoylase has been refined to an R factor of 0.182 at 2.5 Å resolution using the computer program X-PLOR. The structure contains 81 sites for solvent and has rms deviations from ideality in bond lengths and bond angles of 0.018 Å and 3.722°, respectively. The cytosine base of CTP interacts with the main chain carbonyl oxygens of rTyr-89 and rIle-12, the main chain NH of rIle-12, and the amino group of rLys-60. The ribose hydroxyls form polar contacts with the amino group of rLys-60, a carboxylate oxygen of rAsp-19, and the main chain carbonyl oxygen of rVal-9. The phosphate oxygens of CTP interact with the amino group of rLys-94, the hydroxyl of rThr-82, and an imidazole nitrogen of rHis-20. Recent mutagenesis experiments evaluated in parallel with the structure reported here indicate that alterations in the hydrogen bonding environment of the side chain of rAsn-111 may be responsible for the homotropic behavior of the pAR5 mutant of ATCase. The location of the first seven residues of the regulatory chain has been identified for the first time in a refined ATCase crystal structure, and the proximity of this portion of the regulatory chain to the allosteric site suggests a potential role for these residues in nucleotide binding to the enzyme. Finally, a series of amino acid side chain rearrangements leading from the R1 CTP allosteric to the R6 CTP allosteric site has been identified which may constitute the molecular mechanism of distinct CTP binding sites on ATCase. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Native toxic shock syndrom toxin 1 (TSST-1) purified from Staphylococcus aurius has been crystallized in four different forms. The highest resolution data (2.05 Å) was collected from orthorhombic crystals belonging to the space group C2221. The unit cell dimension are a = 108.7 Å, b = 177.5 Å, c = 97.6 Å. Rotation function analysis of this from indicates that there is trimer of toxin molecules in the asymmetric unit with a local 3-fold axis parallel to the crystallographic c axis. Crystals of a double mutant of TSST-1 have been grown which has a single molecule in the asymmetric unit and diffract to 1.9 Å. The space group is P21 with unit cell parameters of a = 44.4 Å, b = 34.0 Å, c = 55.2 Å, β = 93.0°. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Stillage obtained from ethanol production of grain sorghum was separated into two fractions: thin stillage and wet solids. A portion of the thin stillage was recycled as cooking water in subsequent fermentation runs using both bench- and full-scale ethanol production plants. When thin stillage replaced 50-75% of the cooking water, large increases occurred in solids content, COD, and EC of the resulting thin stillage. It was found that while the volume of thin stillage requiring treatment or disposal was reduced, there was little reduction in the total pollutant load. Stillage rcycling had little effect on the quality of the stillage wet solids fraction. At the high levels of stillage recycle used, ethanol yield was reduced after three to five runs of consecutive recycling.
