    Notes: Abstract A 3-oxo-Δ4-steroid 5β-reductase (5β-reductase) deficiency is difficult to diagnose because severe liver damage can result in a similar pattern of metabolite excretion. We investigated the usefulness of immunoblot analysis for diagnosis of 5β-reductase deficiency and quantitatively analysed urinary bile acids by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in a 5-month-old Japanese boy with severe neonatal cholestasis associated with hypertyrosinaemia. A liver sample was examined by immunoblot analysis using monoclonal antibodies against 5β-reductase. Urinary 3-oxo-Δ4 bile acids accounted for 88.3% of total bile acids, 5α-bile acids for 0.9%, and primary bile acids for 9.1%. Immunoblot analysis of the liver tissue showed an indistinct band of 5β-reductase. Conclusions These findings suggest that this patient had a secondary 5β-reductase deficiency due to severe liver damage, even though 3-oxo-Δ4 bile acids constituted more than 70% of total urinary bile acids. However, the patient may possibly have had an inherited 5β-reductase deficiency.

    Notes: DNA vaccination has been shown to induce immunity against several different pathogens including HIV-1. The authors demonstrate here that administration of DNA vaccines via the intranasal route is sufficient to induce immune responses both at distal mucosal sites and systemically. Since transmission of HIV-1 occurs largely across mucosal surfaces, the intranasal route provides a further means of application for DNA immunization.

    Distribution of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola in human subgingival plaque at different periodontal pocket depths examined by immunohistochemical methods (1995)

    Notes: Localization of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola in different areas of subgingival plaque from advanced adult periodontitis patients was studied immunohistochemically using sensitive immunogold-silver staining and immunoelectron microscopy. Fourteen periodontally diseased teeth were extracted without damaging the subgingival plaque, fixed, and embedded. The subgingival plaque samples were sectioned according to four different pocket depths (0–2 mm, 2–4 mm, 4–6 mm and ≤6 mm). Serial thin sections were stained using specific antisera to P. gingivalis or T. denticola and then with secondary antibody labelled with colloidal-gold. Cells of both P. gingivalis and T. denticola were predominantly found in subgingival plaque located at depths of more than 4 mm in periodontal pockets. T. denticola cells were found in the surface layers of subgingival plaque, and P. gingivalis were predominant beneath them. However, in the deeper subgingival plaque, the coexistence of P. gingivalis and T. denticola was observed. The present findings suggest that P. gingivalis and T. denticola play important roles in the pathogenicity of periodontal disease and provide the useful information for elucidating the pattern of colonization of microorganisms in the periodontal pocket.

    Notes: This study was undertaken to determine the immunodominant antigens from Porphyromonas gingivalis which reacted with sera from patients of pubertal and adult gingivitis. The patients with cultivable P. gingivalis and the patients without cultivable P. gingivalis were compared by immunoblots. Fifty subjects participated in this study: 20 with gingivitis, 20 periodontally healthy, and 10 with adult periodontitis. The groups with gingivitis and healthy periodontium each contained 10 pubescent subjects and 10 adult subjects. P. gingivalis was isolated from 9 of 20 patients with gingivitis and from all of 10 with periodontitis by culture study. Approximate molecular weight 43 KDa fimbriae antigen, 57, 53, 46, 28 KDa antigens from outer membrane, and 57, 44, 40, 18.5 KDa antigens from sonicated extracts of P. gingivalis reacted significantly more frequently with sera from the P. gingivalis culture-positive gingivitis patients than with sera from the culture-negative patients by Fisher's exact test. A molecular weight 75, 31 KDa antigen from outer membrane and a 46 KDa antigen from sonicated extract were immunodominant in sera from adult patients with periodontitis. These findings indicate that the specific antigens which reacted with sera from P. gingivalis culture-positive patients are markers of infection with P. gingivalis. Additionally, reactivity to antigens were slightly different between sera from patients with gingivitis and those from patients with periodontitis.

    Notes: We re-evaluated several antibiotics including newer ones, for their in vitro killing activity, as well as their inhibitory activity, against clinical isolates of periodontopathic bacteria. Tetracyclines were active against Porphyromonas gingivalis, and were highly active against Prevotella intermedia, but demonstrated only a low killing activity against Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Rokitamycin. a new macrolide, and clindamycin were highly active against P. gingivalis and P. intermedia, but showed very weak killing activity against A. actinomycetemcomitans. Quinolones demonstrated excellent bactericidal activity against A. actinomycetemcomitans, and good inhibitory and bactericidal activity against P. gingivalis and P. intermedia. Metronidazole had an activity almost equivalent to quinolones against P. gingivalis and P. intermedia; but it was the least active against A. actinomycetemcomitans.

    Notes: Abstract  The effect of denaturants such as urea and normal alcohols on the formation of light-harvesting (LH) polypeptides/bacteriochlorophyll a (BChla) complex (LH1 complex) in n-octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (OG) micelle was examined to provide an insight into stability of the complex. The stabilities of the LH1 complex in OG micelle and of the complex in the chromatophore of photosynthetic bacteria were compared by addition of denaturants. The extent of stability of these complexes was monitored by the change in absorbance of Qy band of BChla in these complexes, resulting generally in the blue-shifting of the Qy band from near 870 nm to about 777 nm upon addition of these denaturants. Urea and guanidium hydrochloride (Gnd) showed a relatively weak denaturing effect. Normal alcohols showed stronger denaturing effect, depending on the hydrophobicity of the alcohols. These results imply that the stability of LH1 complex in OG micelle can be largely attributed to the hydrophobic interactions in the complex as well as that of the complex in the chromatophore of photosynthetic bacteria.

    The formation and development of cellulose-synthesizing linear terminal complexes (TCs) in the plasma membrane of the marine red algaErythrocladia subintegra Rosenv. (1996)

    Notes: Summary The formation and development of linear terminal complexes (TCs), the putative cellulose synthesizing units of the red algaErythrocladia subintegra Rosenv., were investigated by a freeze etching technique using both rotary and unidirectional shadowing. The ribbon-like cellulose fibrils ofE. subintegra are 27.6 ± 0.8 nm wide and only 1–1.5 nm thick. They are synthesized by TCs which are composed of repeating transverse rows formed of four particles, the TC subunits. About 50.4 ± 1.7 subunits constitute a TC. They are apparently more strongly interconnected in transverse than in longitudinal directions. Some TC subunits can be resolved as doublets by Fourier analysis. Large globular particles (globules) seem to function as precursor units in the assembly and maturation of the TCs. They are composed of a central hole (the core) with small subunits forming a peripheral ridge and seem to represent zymogenic precursors. TC assembly is initiated after two or three gobules come into close contact with each other, swell and unfold to a nucleation unit resembling the first 2–3 transverse rows of a TC. Longitudinal elongation of the TC occurs by the unfolding of globules attached to both ends of the TC nucleation unit until the TC is completed. The typical intramembranous particles observed inErythrocladia (unidirectional shadowing) are 9.15 ± 0.13 nm in diameter, whereas those of a TC have an average diameter of 8.77 ± 0.11 nm. During cell wall synthesis membranes of vesicles originating from the Golgi apparatus and which seem to fuse with the plasma membrane contain large globules, 15–22 nm in diameter, as well as ‘tetrads” with a particle diameter of about 8 nm. The latter are assumed to be involved in the synthesis of the amorphous extracellular matrix cell wall polysaccharides. The following working model for cellulose fibril assembly inE. subintegra is suggested: (1) the ribbon-like cellulose fibril is synthesized by a single linear TC; (2) the number of glucan chains per microfibril correlates with the number of TC subunits; (3) a single subunit synthesizes 3 glucan chains which appear to stack along the 0.6 nm lattice plane; (4) lateral aggregation of the “3-mer” stacks leads to the crystalline microfibril.
