    Notes: Abstract The cell-mediated immunity (CMI) of 47 critically ill surgical patients admitted to an Intensive Therapy Unit was assessed by their response to recall skin antigens and found to be markedly reduced. Thirty-seven patients showed no reaction to initial skin testing (NR), and there were 21 deaths in this group. Ten patients reacted (R) to initial skin testing and only one of these patients died (p〈0.025). Repeat skin testing was performed on 22 NR patients. Eight became R on repeat testing and there was one death in this group, whilst 14 remained NR and there were 11 deaths in this group (p〈0.025). The major clinical difference between R and NR patients was a greater incidence of severe sepsis in the NR patients. These findings suggest that the use of recall skin antigens to assess CMI may be a valuable investigation in critically ill surgical patients and that initial and persisting failure to react to skin tests is associated with a poor outcome.

    Serum protein levels in critically Ill surgical patients (1981)

    Notes: Abstract Serum protein levels were found to be markedly reduced in 44 critically ill surgical patients after they had been resuscitated in an intensive therapy unit (ITU). There was no difference in initial protein levels between those patients who survived and those who died, or between those patients who reacted to skin testing with recall antigens and those who showed no reaction. However, albumin and transferrin levels were lower in those patients who had major sepsis (p〈0.02). Twenty-six of the patients remained in the ITU for more than five days. Repeat measurements made in these patients shortly before death or discharge from the ITU showed that prealbumin and transferrin levels were still not different in 17 survivors and 9 non-survivors. However, the mean albumin level was lower in the non-survivors (p〈0.02), although nearly all of the survivors also continued to have low levels of albumin. There was no improvement in serum protein levels in 10 patients who, on skin testing, converted from being non-reactors to reactors. Although reduced serum protein levels were a common finding in critically ill patient, they were not clearly related to outcome or the response to recall skin antigens and this suggests that these tests may be altered by different mechanisms.

    PREM-2, a copia-type retroelement in maize is expressed preferentially in early microspores (1996)

    Notes: Abstract  We have isolated, by screening a genomic library, a retroelement from maize designated PREM-2 (pollen retroelement maize-2), which is expressed in a tissue-specific manner. RNA transcripts of the PREM-2 family are found in the microspore but not in more mature pollen or in any of the vegetative tissues examined. The expression of PREM-2 elements in the uninucleate microspore provides an explanation for the genetic transmission of genomic rearrangements caused by the transposition of retroelements. PREM-2 elements are very abundant and are estimated to constitute about 5% of the maize genome and could possibly have played an important role in the determination of genome structure and in the generation of repetitive sequences in maize. The entire PREM-2 element is 9439 bp long. The LTRs of PREM-2 are 1307 bp in length. The internal region between the 5′ and 3′ LTRs contains 6825 bp and shares homology to the gag, pro, int, RT, and RNaseH regions of copia-type retroelements. PREM-2 elements have been found in close proximity with several maize genes registered in GenBank. The presence of PREM-2 sequence in the exact 5′ flanking position of three polygalacturonase genes expressed in pollen, has been used to examine the evolution of the polygalacturonase multigene family in maize and to estimate the time of the PREM-2 integration event.

    Characterization of ZnS grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on GaAs(100) using t-butyl mercaptan and dimethylzinc (1992)

    Notes: ZnS has been grown on GaAs(100) substrates by atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) using dimethylzinc (DMZn) and t-butyl mercaptan (t-BuSH). The effects of the reactant gas phase molar ratio and the growth temperature on the characteristics of the material grown have been investigated. The structural quality of the layer is demonstrated by X-ray rocking curve half-widths of less than 300 arcsec for the epilayers. There is little significant pre-reaction and the layers are of excellent surface morphology and layer uniformity.
