    Notes: ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. A complex genetic etiology is thought to underlie susceptibility to this disease. The present study was designed to analyze whether differences in genes that encode myelin proteins influence susceptibility to MS. We performed linkage analysis of MS to markers in chromosomal regions that include the genes encoding myelin basic protein (MBP), proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG), oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (OMGP), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in a well-characterized population of 65 multiplex MS families consisting of 399 total individuals, 169 affected with MS and 102 affected sibpairs. Physical mapping data permitted placement of MAG and PLP genes on the Genethon genetic map; all other genes were mapped on the Genethon genetic map by linkage analysis. For each gene, at least one marker within the gene and/or two tightly linked flanking markers were analyzed. Marker data analysis employed a combination of genetic trait model-dependent (parametric) and model-independent linkage methods. Results indicate that MAG, MBP, OMGP, and PLP genes do not have a significant genetic effect on susceptibility to MS in this population. As MOG resides within the MHC, a potential role of the MOG gene could not be excluded.

    Notes: Abstract The last two decades have seen clinical and molecular delineation of the different forms of neurofibromatosis. Differentiation of these forms is not just an academic exercise: their natural history, management and genetic counselling are quite different. Of the numerical classifications of neurofibromatosis proposed in the past, only neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (Nf2) are now well delineated clinically and have been shown to be distinct at the molecular level. For both forms of neurofibromatosis, patients with clinical generalised disease have been demonstrated to be mosaic at the molecular level, and features of segmental or mosaic Nf1 and Nf2 have been delineated. Other reported forms of neurofibromatosis are rarer; they include Watson syndrome, hereditary spinal neurofibromatosis, familial intestinal neurofibromatosis, autosomal dominant café-au-lait spots alone, autosomal dominant neurofibromas alone, and schwannomatosis, the latter believed to be a variant of Nf2. Further delineation is neeeded for individuals having overlapping features of Noonan's syndrome and neurofibromatosis (the so-called Noonan/neurofibromatosis syndrome) and the syndrome of “multiple naevi, multiple schwannomas and multiple vaginal leiomyomas”. In this article we review the forms of neurofibromatosis which we believe are true clinical entities. Particular attention is given to the neurological manifestations of neurofibromatosis.

    Notes: Abstract The etiology of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is usually explained as a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function. Phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK1) is a rate limiting enzyme in glycolysis, and its muscle subtype (PFK1-M) deficiency leads to an autosomal recessively inherited disorder known as glycogenosis type VII or Tarui’s disease. It was evaluated whether PFK1-M deficiency leads to NIDDM in humans. A core family of four was evaluated for PFK1-M deficiency by DNA- and enzyme-activity-analyses. All members underwent oral and intravenous glucose tolerance test (oGTT/ivgtt), as well as an insulin sensitivity test (IST) using octreotide. Results: Father (46 years, BMI 22.4 kg/m2) and older son (19 years, BMI 17.8 kg/m5) showed homozygous PFK1-M deficiency, while mother (47 years, BMI 28.4 kg/m5) and younger son (13 years, BMI 16.5 kg/m5) were shown to be heterozygously PFK1-M-deficient on enzyme activity levels. DNA analysis revealed an exon 5-missense-mutation at one allele of all four members, and an exon 22-frameshift-mutation at the other allele of the two homozygously affected individuals. By oGTT the father showed impaired glucose tolerance, and the mother clinical diabetes. By ivGTT both parents and the older son had a decreased first phase insulin secretion, and a diminished glucose disappearance rate. The IST showed marked insulin resistance in both parents and the older son, and moderate resistance in the younger son, previously not described. Conclusion: PFK1-M-deficiency leads to a metabolic state typical for early NIDDM in homozygously affected humans, especially concerning insulin resistance and loss of first phase beta-cell insulin secretion, and may contribute to the manifestation of NIDDM in a subgroup of patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A multifactorial etiology underlies the majority of cases of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Both ill-defined environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development of the disease. Allele ɛ4 of ApoE is a genetic risk factor. Its presence increases the risk of developing AD. However, presence of e4 is neither necessary nor sufficient for the disease to arise. Apart from the common multifactorial forms of the disease, there are rare variants which are inherited as Mendelian traits. To date three genes are known that can be mutated in these rare forms of AD. Of these, mutations in the gene presenilin 1 on chromosome 14 are most frequent. In addition, mutations in the gene presenilin 2 on chromosome 1 and in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP on chromosome 21) occur in autosomal dominant AD. This article reviews our present knowledge of the genetics of AD and discusses its relevance for patients with AD and their relatives.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der Großteil der Fälle von Alzheimer-Krankheit (AK) hat eine multifaktorielle Ätiologie. Das bedeutet, bisher nicht genauer bekannte Umwelteinflüsse und genetische Faktoren spielen bei der Entwicklung der Krankheit eine wesentliche Rolle. Von seiten der Genetik unterscheidet man bei der AK gegenwärtig genetische Risikofaktroren und Mutationen. Der einzige bisher gesicherte genetische Risikofaktor ist das Allel ɛ4 des Gens für Apolipoprotein E auf Chromosom 19. Dieses Allel erhöht die Wahrscheinlichkeit, an der AK zu erkranken, ist jedoch weder eine notwendige noch eine hinreichende Bedingung. Neben den häufigen Formen mit multifaktorieller Ätiologie kommen seltene Varianten der Krankheit vor, die nach Mendelschen Regeln vererbt werden. Bisher sind 3 Gene bekannt, die bei diesen seltenen, in der Regel früh auftretenden und autosomal dominant vererbten Formen mutiert sein können. Am häufigsten findet sich bei den autosomal-dominanten Fällen eine Mutation im Gen präsenilin 1 auf Chromosom 14, seltener liegen Mutationen im Gen präsenilin 2 auf Chromosom 1 und im Gen des Amyloid- Vorläuferproteins auf Chromosom 21 vor. In diesem Beitrag geben wir eine Übersicht über gegenwärtige Befunde zur Genetik der AK und diskutieren die Bedeutung dieses Wissens für Patienten und deren Verwandte.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Schizophrenia is a genetic complex disease as it does not follow monogenic transmission while non-familial environmental factors have a strong additional impact. A heterogenous, continuous phenotype is transmitted in families which can now be more precisely characterized. Genes coding for proteins with presumed pathophysiological relevance are apparently not playing a major causal role. However, in the last three years several (currently seven) candidate regions have been identified in a replicable manner by linkage studies. These regions are likely to host susceptibility genes for schizophrenia, but none of them has been identified up to now. Given these findings, polygenic transmission has now become very likely. The candidate regions are currently being narrowed down by various promising techniques.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Schizophrenie gehört zu den genetisch komplexen Erkrankungen, die keinem monogenen Erbgang folgen und bei denen auch nichtfamiliäre Umgebungsfaktoren eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dabei wird intrafamiliär ein heterogener, quantitativ variierender Phänotyp übertragen, der zunehmend genauer charakterisiert werden kann. Keines der bekannten Gene mit vermuteter pathophysiologischer Relevanz spielt nach den bisherigen Erkenntnissen eine substantielle Rolle. In den vergangenen drei Jahren ist es aber erstmals durch Kopplungsuntersuchungen gelungen, mehrere replizierbare Kandidatenregionen (derzeit sieben) auf dem Genom zu identifizieren, in denen vermutlich Suszeptibilitätsgene für Schizophrenie liegen. Keines dieser Gene wurde jedoch bislang identifiziert. Mit diesen Befunden ist eine polygene Übertragung der Schizophrenie sehr wahrscheinlich geworden. Verschiedene Techniken zur Eingrenzung der Kandidatenregionen werden derzeit erfolgreich angewandt.

    Notes: Abstract Recently intronic and exonic mutations in the Tau gene have been found to be associated with familial neurodegenerative syndromes characterized not only by a predominantly frontotemporal dementia but also by the presence of neurological signs consistent with the dysfunction of multiple subcortical neuronal circuitries. Among families, the symptomatology appears to vary in quality and severity in relation to the specific Tau gene mutation and often may include parkinsonism, supranuclear palsies, and/or myoclonus, in addition to dementia. We carried out molecular genetic and neuropathological studies on two patients from a French family presenting, early in their fifth decade, a cognitive impairment and supranuclear palsy followed by an akinetic rigid syndrome and dementia. The proband died severely demented 7 years after the onset of the symptoms; currently, his brother is still alive although his disease is progressing. In both patients, we found a Tau gene mutation in exon 10 at codon 279, resulting in an asparagine to lysine substitution (N279K). Neuropathologically, widespread neuronal and glial tau accumulation in the cortex, basal ganglia, brain stem nuclei as well as in the white matter were the hallmark of the disease. These deposits were shown by immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy, using a battery of antibodies to phosphorylation-dependent and phosphorylation-independent epitopes present in multiple tau regions. In the neocortex, tau-immunopositive glial cells were more numerous than immunopositive neurons; the deeper cortical layers as well as the white matter adjacent to the cortex contained the largest amount of immunolabeled glial cells. In contrast, some brain stem nuclei contained more neurons with tau deposits than immunolabeled glial cells. The correlation of clinical, neuropathological and molecular genetic findings emphasize the phenotypic heterogeneitiy of diseases caused by Tau gene mutations. Furthermore, to test the effect of the N279K mutation and compare it with the effect of the P301L exon 10 mutation on alternative splicing of Tau exon 10, we used an exon amplification assay. Our results suggest that the N279K mutation affects splicing similar to the intronic mutations, allowing exon 10 to be incorporated more frequently in the Tau transcript.

    Why is acute leukemia more common in males? A possible sex-determined risk linked to the ABO blood group genes (1999)

    Notes: Abstract  Acute leukemia is more common in males at almost every age, and this fact remains unexplained. A study was carried out in northeast peninsular Malaysia, where the population is predominantly Malay, to examine whether there was a difference in ABO blood group distribution between males and females with acute leukemia (AL). The ABO blood groups of 109 male and 79 female patients with AL (98 ALL, 90 AML) were compared with those of 1019 controls. In the control population, 39.7% were group O. Among males with AL, 39.4% were group O, whereas among females with AL, the proportion was 24.1% (p=0.03). The same trend to a lower proportion of group O among females was seen if the group was divided into adult/pediatric or lymphoblastic/myeloblastic groups, though these differences were not statistically significant. If these findings can be confirmed, they suggest the presence of a "sex-responsive" gene near to the ABO gene locus on chromosome 9, which relatively protects group O women against AL, at least in our population. The existence of such a gene might also partly explain why acute leukemia, and possibly other childhood cancers, are more common in males.

    Notes: Abstract The human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax is a phosphoprotein, however, the contribution of phosphorylation to Tax activity is unknown. Previous studies have shown that phosphorylation of Tax occurs on serine residue(s), within one tryptic fragment, in response to 4β-phorbol-12β-myristate-13α-acetate, in both mouse and human cells. Studies were conducted in multiple cell lines to identify the specific phosphorylated serines as a prelude to functional analysis. The phosphorylation pattern of Tax was found to be different in 293T and COS-7 cells in comparison with MT-4 and Px-1 cells. However, one tryptic fragment remained consistent in comigration analyses among all cell lines. Using selected Tax serine mutants a tryptic fragment containing a serine at residue 113 believed to be the site of phosphorylation of Tax did not comigrate with the common phosphorylated tryptic fragment. Analysis of selected Tax mutants for ability totrans-activate the cytomegalovirus promoter demonstrated mutation of serine 77 to alanine reducedtrans-activation by 90% compared to wild-type Tax. However, examination of the phosphorylation pattern of the serine 77 mutant demonstrated that it is not the site of phosphorylation. These studies demonstrate the importance of using relevant cell lines to characterize the role of phosphorylation in protein function.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most important and a very heterogeneous group of malignant soft tissue tumors of childhood and adolescence.The two major subtypes (embryonal and alveolar) share a common myogenic differentiation, but seem to be histogenetically not related. The so-called ’International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma’ includes, besides the two major subtypes, the botryoid and leiomyomatous subtypes of embryonal RMS which are associated with a better prognosis and are treated less aggressively according to current protocols. In addition, the solid variant of alveolar RMS is included in the alveolar group of RMS. The identification of the various subtypes is necessary and important because the treatment with the current protocols is also related to histology. Using conventional stains and immunohistochemistry, these subtypes are distinguishable. Genetic analysis can be helpful in the demonstration of t(2;13) or t(1;13) translocations in alveolar RMS. The identification of alveolar RMS with t(1;13) translocation might become important in the future, because this type of translocation seems to be related to a better prognosis as compared to tumors with a t(2;13) translocation.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Rhabdomyosarkome stellen eine heterogene Gruppe von ganz verschiedenartigen, histogenetisch wohl nicht zusammengehörenden Tumoren dar. Nach der heute verwendeten „Internationalen Klassifikation” der Rhabdomyosarkome werden neben der Unterteilung in embryonalen und alveoläre Rhabdomyossarkome auch Subtypen des embryonalen RMS identifiziert (botryoider und leiomyomatöser Subtyp), die durch eine günstigere Prognose und durch die Notwendigkeit einer weniger aggressive Therapie gekennzeichnet sind. Durch Einsatz von verschiedenen histologischen und immunhistochemischen Färbungen ist die Identifizierung der verschiedenen Typen der RMS heute möglich und auch zwingend notwendig, da die einzelnen Entitäten nach ganz unterschiedlichen Therapieprotokollen behandelt werden. Der Nachweis typischer molekulargenetischer Veränderungen kann in der Unterscheidung insbesondere von embryonalen und alveolären RMS hilfreich sein. In der Regel ist die Abgrenzung zwischen diesen beiden Entitäten auch an konventionell gefärbten Schnittpräparaten möglich. Die Identifizierung von alveolären RMS mit einer t(1;13)-Translokation könnte in Zukunft eine große Bedeutung haben, da diese genetische Veränderung möglicherweise mit einer günstigeren Prognose assoziert sein könnte als die t(2;13)-Translokation.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of our study was to describe the prevalence and the clinical spectrum of monosomy 22q11.2 in a population of patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect. We examined all 44 patients with this conotruncal cardiac malformation who presented to our institution from January 1994 until December 1997. The type of collateral lung perfusion was recorded including anomalies of the pulmonary arteries as well as facial and immunological abnormalities. Molecular-cytogenetic testing for a 22q11.2 microdeletion was performed using the probes D22S75 and cHKAD26. Statistical differences were evaluated with the Fisher's Exact Test. Monosomy 22q11.2 was present in ten children (23%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 1). The remaining 13 children (29%) with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (group 2) and all 21 children (48%) with ductus arteriosus (group 3) were negative for this microdeletion. All children in group 1 had facial anomalies, six had mild immunological abnormalities including decreased CD 4+ or CD 8+ cells. Anomalies of the pulmonary vascular bed were significantly more frequent in children of group 1 (9/10) than in children of group 2 (4/13) or group 3 (0/21). Due to these pulmonary vascular anomalies, corrective surgery had been accomplished in fewer children with monosomy 22q11.2 (none in group 1) as compared to 7/13 children in group 2 and 14/21 children in group 3. Conclusion In children with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect, monosomy 22q11.2 is preferentially associated with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Due to the higher incidence of pulmonary arterial abnormalities, successful surgical repair will require a different therapeutic approach in most patients with this microdeletion.

    Notes: Abstract The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe provides a simple eukaryotic model for the study of cytokinesis. S. pombe cells are rod-shaped, grow mainly by elongation at their tips, and divide by binary fission after forming a centrally placed division septum. Analysis of mutants has begun to shed light upon how septum formation and cytokinesis are regulated both spatially and temporally. Some of the proteins involved in these events have been functionally conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution, suggesting that aspects of this control will be common to all eukaryotic cells.

    Notes: Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disorder characterised by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Whilst the primary pathogenic trigger is unknown in most cases, evidence is mounting to implicate a role for glutamate-mediated neurotoxicity in the disorder. Recent studies have shown reduced levels of the mainly astroglial glutamate transporter EAAT2 in ALS motor cortex and spinal cord and multiple abnormal EAAT2 mRNA species in ALS brain tissue. One cause of the low EAAT2 levels may be that point mutations in the EAAT2 gene, EAAT2, result in an abnormal unstable protein. To test this hypothesis we analysed EAAT2 in 128 sporadic and 23 familial European ALS cases. No variants within the coding sequence of EAAT2 to affect the protein sequence nor in the consensus splice sites of the flanking intronic sequences were found in any cases, similar to findings in other reports. Frequent polymorphisms within the flanking intronic sequences of both exons 2 and 4 were seen but at similar frequencies in controls. Mechanisms other than mutations within the coding region of EAAT2 must therefore be responsible for the low levels of EAAT2 seen in most cases of ALS.

    Notes: Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are complex disorders. While the exact etiology of these diseases remains unknown, recent progress in the epidemiology and genetics of IBD has clearly demonstrated both environmental and genetic factors to play a role in the development of the disease, and it is expected that some risk factors are common for both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The environmental factor(s) are associated with the Western way of life in the second half of the twentieth century. Cigarette smoking is presently the best known environmental factor. However, the effect of tobacco is opposite in CD and UC. A familial history of IBD is the most important risk factor for developing the disease, suggesting a genetic predisposition to IBD. This hypothesis has recently been confirmed by the localization of at least two susceptibility loci on chromosomes 12 and 16. These genes seem to play a role in both CD and UC. They must now to be identified.

    Notes: Abstract  The genetic studies of syndromic craniosynostoses lead to the characterisation of genes that regulate the correct development of the bones of the skull. From these studies, it appears that FGF/FGFR signalling has a crucial role in this problem. Numerous mutations affecting the genes coding for FGFR1, 2 or 3 are responsible for these syndromes. It is interesting to note that some identical mutations produced various different phenotypes, suggesting that other genes modulate the phenotypic expressivity. The other involved genes in these syndromes code for such proteins as Msx2 or Twist that interact in the cellular pathways responsible for FGF action. From these genetic studies, it is now important to establish the role of these proteins during the development of the skull. Msx2 plays a repressive role in osteogenesis, whereas FGFRs act as promoting proteins. In the near future, it will be very important to improve our understanding of these phenomena in order to test specific treatments to prevent the development of such syndromes.

    Notes: Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has a significant genetic background manifested as autosomal dominant inheritance in some early-onset families and as familial risk in late-onset cases. Three genes responsible for early-onset autosomal dominant AD have been identified, and one gene, apolipoprotein E, has been confirmed as a susceptibility gene for late-onset forms of the disorder. These findings raise the possibility of genetic testing, either for early diagnosis or prediction. For early-onset autosomal dominant AD genetic testing will have a limited but useful role in confirming diagnosis in established cases and in predictive counselling for relatives; a situation analogous to that for Huntington’s disease. For late-onset AD significant problems remain to be overcome before the advances in molecular genetics have a direct clinical application

    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene defects may play a role in the development of maternally inherited diabetes mellitus and deafness (MIDD). A family from Southern Italy who showed maternal transmission of type 2 diabetes mellitus with three individuals affected is described. A 10.4 kb deletion and mutations at nucleotide positions (np) 3243, 7445 and 11778 in the mtDNA of six relatives were sought. The mitochondrial np 3243 mutation of the tRNA Leu (UUR) gene was identified in a boy affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation, as well as in his diabetic mother. No other mutations or deletions were found. Our study points out the variable phenotypic expression of the np 3243 mtDNA mutation. This may suggest the presence of other mitochondrial or nuclear mutations required to modulate the phenotype. A clinical and metabolic follow-up of all family members was necessary to understand the role of the np 3243 mutation, especially in one child affected by optic atrophy and mental retardation. Further studies will be aimed at investigating the prevalence of mutations and deletions of mtDNA in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

    Notes: Abstract  The self-incompatibility in yellow passion fruit was previously described as homomorphic sporophytic with monofactorial inheritance. Five progenies were obtained by bud-selfing. The plants of these progenies were selfed, reciprocally crossed within each progeny and crossed with known incompatible phenotypes to identify their phenotypic group. Fruit set was evaluated at the 7th day after pollination. Two progenies consisted of two self-incompatible groups, the other three formed three suck groups. The groups were identified as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6. The results provide evidence that the self-incompatibility of passion fruit is controlled by two loci, the S-gene and another, whose expression needs to be investigated.

    Notes: Abstract  We report the sequences of 17 primer pairs of microsatellite loci, which we have cloned and sequenced from two genomic libraries of peach [Prunus persica (L) Batsch] ‘Redhaven’, enriched for AC/GT and AG/CT repeats respectively. For ten of these microsatellite loci we were able to demonstrate Mendelian inheritance in a segregating back-cross population; the remainder did not segregate. The polymorphism of the microsatellites was evaluated in a panel of ten peach genotypes, including true-to-type peaches, nectarines and one canning-peach. Fifteen microsatellites (88%) were polymorphic showing 2–4 alleles each. The mean heterozygosity, averaged over all loci, was 0.32 and significantly higher than that reported in the literature for isozymes and molecular markers, such as RFLPs and RAPDs. We have also assayed the cross-species transportability and found that ten microsatellite (59%) gave apparently correct amplification in all Prunus species surveyed, namely P. domestica (European plum), P. salicina (Japanese plum), P. armeniaca (apricot), P. dulcis (almond), P. persica var. vulgaris (peach), P. persica var. laevis (nectarine), P. avium (sweet cherry) and P. cerasus (sour cherry), with three of them also being amplified in Malus (apple). The remaining microsatellites gave less-extensive amplification. Because of their appreciable polymorphism and wide cross-species transportability, most of these new markers can be integrated into the linkage maps which are currently being constructed in peach, as well as in other stone fruit crops, such as almond, apricot, cherry and plum.

    A stylar ribonuclease assay to detect self-compatible seedlings in almond progenies (1999)

    Notes: Abstract  Six almond progenies, each the product of a cross between a self-compatible and a self-incompatible parent, were analysed for stylar ribonucleases. Proteins were extracted and separated using non-equilibrium pH gradient electrofocusing (NEPHGE), and the gels were stained for ribonuclease activity. Most seedlings showed either two principal bands, interpreted as corresponding to two incompatibility alleles, or a single band. The seedlings were also bagged in the field at flowering time to determine fruit set after selfing, and some were also examined for the growth of pollen-tubes in selfed styles using UV fluorescence microscopy. With very few exceptions, those seedlings showing single-banded zymograms were found to be self-compatible according to field and microscope studies, and those with two bands were found to be self-incompatible. We conclude that the allele for self-compatibility in almond does not code for ribonuclease activity and that the ribonuclease isoenzyme assay is a convenient technique for predicting self-compatibility in segregating progenies. A novel band in two derivatives of ’Ferrastar’ was ascribed to a new incompatibility allele, S 10 .

    Notes: Abstract  A fundamental requirement of task regulation in social groups is that it must allow colony flexibility. We tested assumptions of three task regulation models for how honeybee colonies respond to graded changes in need for a specific task, pollen foraging. We gradually changed colony pollen stores and measured behavioral and genotypic changes in the foraging population. Colonies did not respond in a graded manner, but in six of seven cases showed a stepwise change in foraging activity as pollen storage levels moved beyond a set point. Changes in colony performance resulted from changes in recruitment of new foragers to pollen collection, rather than from changes in individual foraging effort. Where we were able to track genotypic variation, increases in pollen foraging were accompanied by a corresponding increase in the genotypic diversity of pollen foragers. Our data support previous findings that genotypic variation plays an important role in task regulation. However, the stepwise change in colony behavior suggests that colony foraging flexibility is best explained by an integrated model incorporating genotypic variation in task choice, but in which colony response is amplified by social interactions.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and management of surgically unresectable intra-abdominal desmoid tumors in two patients with Gardner's syndrome from two unrelated families, where each had failed on conventional therapy. METHODS: Two patients with Gardner's syndrome were placed on a chemotherapy regimen which included doxorubicin (90 mg/m2) and dacarbazine (900 mg/m2) in divided doses over four days of continuous infusion. Their progress on chemotherapy was assessed by abdominal computerized tomography and laparoscopy. RESULTS: The computerized abdominal tomography scans proved difficult to interpret because of adhesions and matted small bowel resulting from the patients original colectomies. These findings made it difficult to differentiate postoperative changes from residual desmoid tumor. Second-look laparotomy in such patients was contraindicated as this may predispose to further desmoid production. Laparoscopy disclosed a complete response to this chemotherapy. Nevertheless, we had an iatrogenic small bowel perforation in one of these patients. Each patient showed a complete response to chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection remains the first-line treatment of intra-abdominal desmoid tumors. However, doxorubicin/ dacarbazine chemotherapy on a clinical trial basis may be indicated in patients whose intra-abdominal desmoid is unresectable, or who have failed to respond to treatment with hormones (tamoxifen, Toremifene), steroids (prednisone), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (Clinoril®; Merck & Co., Inc., West Point, PA).

    Notes: Abstract Genetic ecology is the extension of our modern knowledge in molecular genetics to studies of viability, gene expression and gene movements in natural environments like soils, aquifers and digestive tracts. In such milieux, the horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne genes between phylogenetically distant species has already been found to be much more frequent than had been expected from laboratory experience. For the study of exchanges involving chromosomally-located genes, more has to be learned about the behaviour of transposons in such environments. The results expected from studies in genetic ecology are relevant for considerations of evolution, biodiversity and biosafety. The role of this new field of research in restoring popular confidence in science and in its biotechnological applications is stressed.

    Notes: Abstract To investigate a possible involvement of HLA-class II alleles in the genetic predisposition for the formation of anti-U1-nRNP antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), genomic DNA of 178 patients was typed for the DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and non-radioactive-oligonucleotide typing. Antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins (U1-A- U1-C-and 70K-protein) were determined by ELISA. Anti-U1-C antibody was found in 26 (14.7%), anti-U1-A in 34 (19.2%) and anti-70K in 17 (9.6%) patients. A joint occurrence was observed for these antibodies against the recombinant U1-nRNP proteins: anti-U1-C and anti-U1-A antibodies occurred together more frequently than alone and than together with anti-U1-70K antibodies. The frequency of DRB1 * 04 was slightly increased in the patients with anti-U1-C as compared to the patients without anti-U1-C (P〈0.05, Pcorr=n.s., RR=2.4). The DQA1 * 0301 allele, which is in linkage disequilibrium with DRB1 * 04, is found more frequently in anti-U1-C-positive than in antibody-negative patients. The DQB1 * 0303 allele, detected in 12 of 176 SLE patients, was absent in the patients with any of the antibodies against the U1-nRNP proteins. All these deviations may be due to chance alone. We concluded that the presence of antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins was not significantly associated with any HLA DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 allele in our group of SLE patients.

    Notes: Abstract A family is reported in which a 29-year-old woman showed the clinical features of myotonic dystrophy while her 26-year-old brother presented with the clinical picture of limb girdle syndrome. In the affected female, direct genetic testing for the specific myotonic dystrophy mutation on chromosome 19 revealed abnormal expansion of a repeat unit containing the three nucleotides cytosine, thymine, and guanine (CTG) — typical for myotonic dystrophy — while her diseased brother displayed two normal alleles. This supports the hypothesis of the extremely rare occurrence of two clinically and genetically different myopathies in one family. Genetic analysis of six other family members showed that the father of the diseased siblings as well as all of his three brothers and sisters had a pathological CTG repeat expansion, and that the other two family members tested had a normal allelic pattern. The number of CTG repeats in the diseased women was approximately tenfold higher than in her asymptomatic relatives who revealed an abnormal allelic pattern. The increase in CTG repeats with transmission to a subsequent generation in this family was paralleled by a dramatic increase in the severity of myotonic dystrophy.

    Notes: Abstract      We describe a case of a desmoplastic brain tumor which was initially resected from the right fronto-temporal region in a 2 year-old boy. This nodular, calcified tumor was vascularized by the internal carotid artery and the middle meningeal artery branches. Grossly, it contained several mucoid cysts. Light microscopy showed cords or nests of small cuboidal cells surrounded by a loose connective tissue and desmoplasic areas containing fibers and spindle cells. The cuboidal cells expressed epithelial, neuronal and neuroendocrine markers. Some foci of spindle cells showed glial differentiation. The tumor recurred 16 months later and displayed some characteristics of the small cell neuroepithelial component, mitoses being conspicuous. Electron microscopy revealed undifferentiated clear cells, some containing neurosecretory granules. Karyotyping demonstrated the following formula: 〈 15 〉 46, t(8;11) (q13; q11). The chromosome 11 breakpoint was different from that described in Ewing's sarcoma. This isolated translocation has not been previously reported to our knowledge. These unusual features lead us to report this case and to discuss its pathogenesis.

We describe here an autopsied patient with FALS, in whom we have recently identified a novel missense mutation in exon 1 of the SOD1 gene. The neuropathological findings were compatible with those described previously in patients with FALS with posterior column involvement. This suggests that mutations of the SOD1 gene may be responsible for this form of FALS.

    Notes: Summary Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) has a strong genetic component and maternal factors have recently been implicated in disease inheritance. The mitochondrial myopathies are a group of diseases which often show maternal inheritance as a result of mtDNA defects; some patients have impaired glucose tolerance. Occasional families with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness associated with a deletion or point mutation of mtDNA have been reported. To assess the importance of mitochondrial gene defects in NIDDM, 150 unrelated diabetic subjects from Wales, UK and 68 unrelated patients with diabetes and at least one affected sibling from England, UK were studied. Southern blot analysis did not show any large mtDNA deletions or duplications. One patient had a mutation in the mitochondrial tRNAleu(UUR) gene at bp 3243. This mutation is commonly associated with the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke like episodes (MELAS). Study of this patient and his siblings showed a distinct form of late-onset diabetes associated with nerve deafness but no clinical features of the MELAS syndrome. No diabetic subject was shown to have the mtDNA mutation at position 8344 (tRNAlys) which has previously been described in the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and red-ragged fibres (MERRF).

    Notes: Abstract The present paper reviews the evidence for a possible involvement of renal eicosanoids in the pathophysiology of high blood pressure in genetically hypertensive rats of the Lyon strain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that an increased ability to synthesize the vasoconstrictor prostaglandin H2 and/or thromboxane A2 in renal vessels (1) acts as an autocrine amplifier of pressor agents and (2) may contribute to resetting the pressure natriuresis curve which is a prerequisite for the development and maintenance of hypertension.

    Notes: Summary In Finland the haplotype A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 is the third most common haplotype in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients and has the highest haplotype-specific absolute risk for IDDM. Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 haplotypes containing HLA-A alleles other than A2 are infrequent in the population and are not associated with IDDM. Comparison of the A2 and non-A2 haplotypes at the DNA level showed that they were identical at HLA-B,-DR, and -DQ loci. Evidence that class I alleles confer susceptibility to IDDM was obtained from the two HLA-C, -B, -DR and -DQ haplotypes most frequently found in IDDM patients in Finland. A24, A3 and A2 on the Cw3, B62, DR4, DQ8 haplotype, and A28, A2 and A1 on the Cw7, B8, DR3, DQ2 were all found to be associated with IDDM. In Finland these seven haplotypes, including A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8, account for 33% of diabetic haplotypes and 10.3% of non-diabetic haplotypes (p〈0.00001). The contribution of the class I region to IDDM susceptibility was also apparent in those IDDM patients lacking the disease-predisposing class II alleles. Significantly more non-DR3/non-DR4 IDDM patients (47 of 55) possessed two of the IDDM-associated HLA-A alleles compared to non-DR3/non-DR4 control subjects (40 of 58; p=0.038). Moreover, IDDM patients confirmed by oligotyping as unable to form a ‘diabetes-susceptibility’ DQ heterodimer, tended to possess two diabetes-associated HLA-A alleles (12 of 13) compared to control subjects (12 of 20; p=0.056).

One family member presents with findings suggesting a forme fruste of this disease. Increased surveillance of family members of individuals with discrete subaortic membrane is warranted, as the clinical findings of mild subaortic obstruction may be indistinguishable from those of an innocent flow murmur.

    Notes: Abstract We have obtained one plant regenerated from rye tissue culture which showed a high percentage of polyembryonic seeds in its progeny. The mutation inducing the development of extra embryos is also influencing erroneous cell division, mitosis and meiosis. The genetic analysis indicated that the aptitude for polyembryonic seed formation is a heritable trait controlled by a dominant gene. However, for expression of the phenotype the female parent should have a specific cytoplasm.

    Notes: Abstract Clinical and EEG family data of 140 cases with early childhood epilepsy with absences are presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate, whether the occurrence of generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) as a presenting symptom might correlate with family data, i.e. whether there are indications of heterogeneity. One hundred and forty cases were selected from the epilepsy family data base of the Neuropaediatric Department. The selection parameter was epilepsy with absences manifesting between the 1 st and 5th year of age. The incidence of seizures was evaluated in siblings, parents and parents' siblings. EEG records were available from 103 parents and 106 siblings. The analysis supports the assumption of heterogeneity within early childhood absence epilepsy. Parents and their sibs of cases manifesting with GTCS had seizures twice as often than parents and their sibs in the non-GTCS group. In the affected relatives of the GTCS group early onset GTCS prevailed, whereas in the relatives of the non-GTCS group absences were found more frequently. The EEG of relatives showed elevated incidences of spikes and waves and photosensitivity in both groups, indicating common genetic factors. In parents of the non-GTCS group, however, EEG pathology was significantly more frequent than in parents of the GTCS group. Comparing EEG pathology in parents with seizure risk in siblings, evidence for maternal preponderance in transmission of the seizure liability was found. Mothers' EEG seems to be the best predictor of the seizure risk in probands' siblings. Early childhood epilepsy with absences can be regarded as an intermediate type, showing overlap with early onset GTCS and myoclonic astatic epilepsy on the one side and with childhood absence epilepsy on the other.

    Notes: Abstract The incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) were compared, controlling for age, in native-born Israelis of different origins and in immigrants to Israel. This comparison was carried out in two populations, countrywide and in Jerusalem. In the countrywide population, ascertainment was based mainly on hospitalizations; it included 252 patients who were native-born and 150 who had immigrated from Africa-Asia (AA immigrants). The 89 MS patients of Jerusalem also included patients diagnosed in outpatient clinics. In native-born Israelis whose father was born in Europe-America (I-EA), the incidence and prevalence of MS were found to be as high as or even higher than that found previously in immigrants from Europe-America. Among native-born Israelis whose father was born in Africa or Asia (I-AA), the yearly age-adjusted incidence and prevalence rates were found to be 1.4- to 1.8-fold higher than among AA immigrants, pointing to environmental factors. The incidence and prevalence rates in the I-EA were 1.2- to 1.6-fold higher than in the I-AA, pointing to genetic factors. These results seem to point to both environmental and genetic factors in the aetiology of MS. Further research is needed, however, to disentangle the genetic factors from possible environmental differences in the two ethnic groups.

    Notes: Abstract As part of a follow-up and family study of post-partum psychoses, this episode of illness being the first leading to psychiatric hospitalisation, patients with puerperal episodes (PE) and nonpuerperal episodes (NPE) of illness in the long-term course (n=79) were compared to patients with PE only (n=40). Few differences were found. Relatives of patients with PE only had a lower morbidity risk for functional psychoses than relatives of patients with PE and NPE. A favourable course of illness in the presence of a low genetic predisposition may be expected, according to the diathesis-stress model of functional psychoses.

    Notes: Abstract Fifteen patients aged 11–25 years (mean 15.37, SD 3.89) suffering from juvenile absence epilepsy are presented. Only 3 (20%) had absences (AS) as the only seizure type, 12 (80%) had associated generalized tonic-clinic seizures (GTCS) and in the remaining 3 with absences and GTCS there was also sporadic myoclonus. We found a higher frequency of AS in our patients by clinical history and video-EEG than has been previously reported. In our patients the mean age of onset in years was 11.4, SD 1.24 for AS, 13.12, SD 2.31 for GTCS and 12.5, SD 2.18 for myoclonus. The correct diagnosis was not made on referrals for any of the patients. It took an average of 3–5.5 years from the onset of the AS (range: 6–120 months) and 2 years from the occurrence of GTCS (average: 1–72 months) to make the correct diagnosis and institute proper treatment, which was valproic acid (VPA). The GTCS were controlled in all patients whereas AS continued in 6 (40%), but to a significantly lesser degree. The frequency and the duration of the GTCS before the start of VPA treatment seemed to have an adverse effect on AS control. We documented no circadian rhythm in either AS or the GTCS, except in 2 patients who had AS and GTCS mainly when they awoke in the morning. The sample size was too small to perform a proper genetic study, though a positive history of epilepsies of mixed types was obtained in 35.7% of the parents and the siblings of the probands.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and one morphological marker were used to investigate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for morphological and physiological traits evaluated on 150 F2∶3 maize (Zea mays L.) lines derived from the cross of elite U.S. Corn Belt inbreds Mo17 and H99. F2∶3 lines were grown in a replicated experiment and evaluated for plant and ear heights and flowering traits. QTL were identified for each trait, and genetic effects were determined. Estimated gene action for the flowering traits was predominantly overdominance. Both parents contributed toward increased values for anthesis and silk emergence. QTL for increased plant and ear heights were usually contributed by the taller parent, Mo17. Estimated gene action for these traits was mainly partial to overdominance. QTL for plant height were located in the vicinity of loci defined by alleles with qualitative effects on plant height.

    Notes: Abstract Recent work has revealed random chromosome pairing and assortment in Saccharum spontaneum L., the most widely distributed, and morphologically and cytologically variable of the species of Saccharum. This conclusion was based on the analysis of a segregating population from across between S. spontaneum ‘SES 208’ and a spontaneously-doubled haploid of itself, derived from anther culture. To determine whether polysomic inheritance is common in Saccharum and whether it is observed in a typical biparental cross, we studied chromosome pairing and assortment in 44 progeny of a cross between euploid, meiotically regular, 2n=80 forms of Saccharum officinarum ‘LA Purple’ and Saccharum robustum ‘ Mol 5829’. Papuan 2n=80 forms of S. robustum have been suggested as the immediate progenitor species for cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum). A total of 738 loci in LA Purple and 720 loci in Mol 5829 were amplified and typed in the progeny by arbitrarily primed PCR using 45 primers. Fifty and 33 single-dose polymorphisms were identified in the S. officinarum and S. robustum genomes, respectively (χ 2 at 98%). Linkage analysis of single-dose polymorphisms in both genomes revealed linkages in repulsion and coupling phases. In the S. officinarum genome, a map hypothesis gave 7 linkage groups with 17 linked and 33 unlinked markers. Four of 13 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase and 9 were in coupling phase. In the S. robustum genome, a map hypothesis gave 5 linkage groups, defined by 12 markers, with 21 markers unlinked, and 2 of 9 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase. Therefore, complete polysomic inheritance was not observed in either species, suggesting that chromosomal behavior is different from that observed by linkage analysis of over 500 markers in the S. spontaneum map. Implications of this finding for evolution and breeding are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The inheritance of phosphorous (P) — deficiency tolerance in rice was investigated by a sevenparent diallel. The parent materials involved were four P-efficient (IR20, IR54, IR28, and Mahsuri), one moderately P-efficient (TN1), and two P-inefficient (IR31406333-1 and IR34686-179-1-2-1), genotypes. Relative tilering ability (RTA) under P-deficient and P-supplemented soil conditions was the parameter used in determining the tolerance level of the different genotypes. Diallel graph analysis revealed that tolerant parents have an excess of recessive genes, while moderate and susceptible parents possess more dominant genes. Genetic-component analysis suggested that both additive and dominance gene effects are involved in the inheritance of P-deficiency tolerance in rice. The trait exhibited over doiminance as confirmed by the graphical analysis. Narrow-sense heritability of the trait was moderate (0.50) and environmental effects were low. Both the general combining ability (GCA) and the specific combining ability (SCA) were significant, but GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parents exhibited a high GCA whereas susceptibles have a very poor GCA, suggesting that tolerant parents were mostly enriched in additive genes and susceptible parents in non-additive genes. Crosses involving two high general combiners showed low SCA effects whereas crosses between poor general combiners manifested highly-significant SCA values.

    Notes: Abstract The concentration of potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), as measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in the foliage of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) of cv ‘Maris Piper’ with secondary infection was 2900 ng/g leaf, whereas in clones G7445(1) and G7032(5) it was 180 ng/g leaf and 120 ng/g leaf, respectively. To examine the genetic control of resistance to PLRV multiplication, reciprocal crosses were made between the susceptible cultivar ‘Maris Piper’ and the two resistant clones, and the three parents were selfed. Seedling progenies of these families were grown to generate tubers of individual genotypes (clones). Clonally propagated plants were graft-inoculated, and their daughter tubers were collected and used to grow plants with secondary infection in which PLRV concentration was estimated. The expression of resistance to PLRV multiplication had a bimodal distribution in progenies from crosses between ‘Maris Piper’ and either resistant clone, and also in progeny from selfing the resistant parents, with genotypes segregating into high and low virus titre groups. Only the progeny obtained from selfing ‘Maris Piper’ did not segregate, all genotypes being susceptible to PLRV multiplication. The pattern of segregation obtained from these progenies fits more closely with the genetical hypothesis that resistance to PLRV multiplication is controlled by two unlinked dominant complementary genes, both of which are required for resistance, than with the simpler hypothesis that resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene, as published previously.

    Notes: Abstract RFLPs were used to investigate components of host-plant response to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 unselected F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Following inoculation with spore suspensions of the pathogen (race 0), components of disease development were measured and then quantitative trait mapping was performed to identify the location and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining host-plant response. Components of interest were the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity) and the average size of lesions (cm2). Based on a LOD threshold of 2.31 (P〈0.05), the number of lesions appears to be associated with QTLs on chromosomes 1S, 3L, 5S. Severity was associated with analogous regions and, in addition, QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 8L. Most QTLs, for either of these two components, involve additive gene action and partial dominance or overdominance. In contrast, lesion size was associated with QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 5L; recessive gene action may be involved at 7L.

    Notes: Abstract An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with A. wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. Eighty-eight F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map representing the A genome of cultivated hexaploid oat. Two hundred and eight RFLP loci have been placed into 10 linkage groups. This map covers 2416 cM, with an average of 12 cM between RFLP loci. Eighty-eight F3 lines, derived from F2 individuals used to construct the map, were screened for resistance to 9 isolates of P. coronata. One locus, Pca, was found to confer a dominant resistance phenotype to isolates 203, 258, 263, 264B, 290, 298, 325A, and 345. Pca also conferred resistance to isolate 276; however, an unlinked second gene may also be involved.

    Notes: Abstract Variability exists among worker honey bees for components of division of labor. These components are of two types, those that affect foraging behavior and those that affect life-history characteristics of workers. Variable foraging behavior components are: the probability that foraging workers collect (1) pollen only; (2) nectar only; and (3) pollen and nectar on the same trip. Life history components are: (1) the age the workers initiate foraging behavior; (2) the length of the foraging life of a worker; and (3) worker length of life. We show how these components may interact to change the social organization of honey bee colonies and the lifetime foraging productivity of individual workers. Selection acting on foraging behavior components may result in changes in the proportion of workers collecting pollen and nectar. Selection acting on life-history components may affect the size of the foraging population and the distribution of workers between within nest and foraging activities. We suggest that these components define possible sociogenic “pathways” through which colony-level natural selection can change social organization. These pathways may be analogous to developmental pathways in the morphogenesis of individual organisms because small changes in behavioral or life history components of individual workers may lead to major changes in the organizational structure of colonies.

    Notes: Abstract Previously we reported that there are subfamily differences in drone production in queenless honey bee colonies, but these biases are not always explained by subfamily differences in oviposition behavior. Here we determine whether these puzzling results are best explained by either inadequate sampling of the laying worker population or reproductive conflict among workers resulting in differential treatment of eggs and larvae. Using colonies composed of workers from electrophoretically distinct subfamilies, we collected samples of adult bees engaged in the following behavior: “true” egg laying, “false” egg laying, indeterminate egg laying, egg cannibalism, or nursing (contact with larvae). We also collected samples of drone brood at four different ages: 0 to 2.5-h-old eggs, 0 to 24-h-old eggs, 3 to 8-day-old larvae, and 9 to 14-day-old larvae and pupae. Allozyme analyses revealed significant subfamily differences in the likelihood of exhibiting egg laying, egg cannibalism, and nursing behavior, as well as significant subfamily differences in drone production. There were no subfamily differences among the different types of laying workers collected from each colony, suggesting that discrepancies between subfamily biases in egg-laying behavior and drone production are not due to inadequate sampling of the laying worker population. Subfamily biases in drone brood production within a colony changed significantly with brood age. Laying workers had significantly more developed ovaries than either egg cannibals or nurses, establishing a physiological correlate for the observed behavioral genetic differences. These results suggest there is reproductive conflict among subfamilies and individuals within queenless colonies of honey bees. The implications of these results for the evolution of reproductive conflict, in both queenright and queenless contexts, are discussed.

    Genotypic differences in brood rearing in honey bee colonies: context-specific? (1994)

    Notes: Summary Three experiments were performed to determine whether brood care in honey bee colonies is influenced by colony genetic structure and by social context. In experiment 1, there were significant genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on observations of individually labeled workers of known age belonging to two visually distinguishable subfamilies. In experiment 2, no genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing drones or workers was detected, in the same colonies that were used in experiment 1. In experiment 3, there again were significant genotypic differences in the likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on electrophoretic analyses of workers from a set of colonies with allozyme subfamily markers. There also was an overall significant trend for colonies to show greater subfamily differences in queen rearing when the queens were sisters (half- and super-sisters) rather than unrelated, but these differences were not consistent from trial to trial for some colonies. Results of experiments 1 and 3 demonstrate genotypic differences in queen rearing, which has been reported previously based on more limited behavioral observations. Results from all three experiments suggest that genotypic differences in brood care are influenced by social context and may be more pronounced when workers have a theoretical opportunity to practice nepotism. Finally, we failed to detect persistent interindividual differences in bees from either subfamily in the tendency to rear queen brood, using two different statistical tests. This indicates that the probability of queen rearing was influenced by genotypic differences but not by the effect of prior queen-rearing experience. These results suggest that subfamilies within a colony can specialize on a particular task, such as queen rearing, without individual workers performing that task for extended periods of time.

    Notes: Abstract At the present time alcoholism is recognized as a metabolic disease exhibiting the clinical features of craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, tolerance and physical dependence on alcohol, while both epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated that genetic factors may be important in determining whether an individual has a high or low vulnerability to develop alcoholism. Evidence also indicates that alcoholism is not characterized by a single gene single allele inheritance. Instead it seems that multiple genes and environmental factors interact to increase or decrease an individual's vulnerability to become an alcoholic. Current research is aimed at investigating whether certain behavioral, physiological and biochemical markers are highly associated with the incidence of alcoholism. Among the biochemical markers currently under investigation is the endogenous opioid system and its implication in mediating the reinforcing effects of ethanol. It is the objective of this manuscript to review current research on: (a) the interactions of ethanol with the endogenous opioid system at the molecular level; (b) the existence of genetically determined differences in the response of the endogenous opioid system to ethanol between subjects at high and low risk for excessive ethanol consumption, as well as between lines of animals showing preference or aversion for ethanol solutions; (c) the decrease of alcohol consumption following pretreatment with opioid antagonists; and (d) the possible use of specific opioid receptor antagonists together with behavioral therapy to modify drinking behavior, to control craving and to prevent relapse.

    Expression of a reporter gene is reduced by a ribozyme in transgenic plants (1994)

    Notes: Abstract A chimeric gene encoding a ribozyme under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was introduced into transgenic tobacco plants. In vivo activity of this ribozyme, which was designed to cleave npt mRNA, was previously demonstrated by transient expression assays in plant protoplasts. The ribozyme gene was transferred into transgenic tobacco plants expressing an rbcS-npt chimeric gene as an indicator. Five double transformants out of sixteen exhibited a reduction in the amount of active NPT enzyme. To measure the amount of ribozyme produced, in the absence of its target, the ribozyme and target genes were separated by genetic segregation. The steady-state concentrations of ribozyme and target RNA were shown to be similar in the resulting single transformants. Direct evidence for a correlation between reduced npt gene expression and ribozyme expression was provided by crossing a plant containing only the ribozyme gene with a transgenic plant expressing the npt gene under control of the 35S promoter, i.e. the same promoter used to direct ribozyme expression. The expression of npt was reduced in all progeny containing both transgenes. Both steady-state levels of npt mRNA and amounts of active NPT enzyme are decreased. In addition, our data indicate that, at least in stable transformants, a large excess of ribozyme over target is not a prerequisite for achieving a significant reduction in target gene expression.

    Notes: Abstract Epidemiological and genetic variables for oral clefts were analysed for the years 1981–1989 in a case-control study of congenital malformations in the Emilia Romagna, Veneto, and Friuli regions, and in the Trento and Bolzano hospitals. Birth prevalence for all cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P)) was 8.2 per 10,000 births, and that for cleft palate only (CP) was 6.1 per 10,000. Coexisting abnormalities were found in 23% of CL(P) cases and in 43% of CP. No clusters in time or space were detected. For isolated clefts, a predominance of males among CL(P) and of females among CP was found; epilepsy was the only maternal risk factor correlated with clefts, and an association between clefting and consanguinity was found. Empirical recurrence risks were calculated in both isolated CL(P) and CP.

    Description / Table of Contents: Positive und negative Photostrukturen wurden in einem Polyimid (PI) aus 4,4′-Biphthalsäureanhydrid (BPA) und 4,4′-Diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethan (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) erzeugt, nachdem dieses mit Michlers Keton (MK) bzw. Benzophenon (BP) dotiert und einer ultravioletten Strahlung von 400 ± 50 nm ausgesetzt und naß entwickelt wurde. Das Prinzip der positiven Abbildung basiert auf dem Photokupplungseffekt von MK mit PI, der die Löslichkeit des Polyimids erhöht und so die Entwicklung eines Positivmusters ermöglicht. Die Erzeugung negativer Muster wird durch intermakromolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen der Carbonylgruppe des Imid-Rings und der Hydroxygruppe, die bei der photoinduzierten Kupplung von Benzophenon mit dem Polyimid gebildet wird, bewirkt. Die lithographische Auswertung zeigt, daß der mit MK dotierte, positive Polyimidfilm nicht in der Lage ist, brauchbare Muster zu erzeugen, da die UV-Wellenlängen von MK absorbiert werden, wodurch die Photokupplung in den tieferen Schichten des Films verhindert wird. Andererseits können in dem 0,6 μm dicken, mit Benzophenon dotierten Polyimidfilm sogar 2 μm schmale Linien aufgelöst werden.
    Notes: Positive and negative photostructures are formed after the polyimide (PI) of 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride (BPA) and 4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) is doped with Michler′s ketone (MK) and benzophenone (BP), respectively, and is subjected to UV light (400 ± 50 nm) irradiation and solvent development. The principle of positive feature formation is based on the photocoupling of MK with PI, which increases PI solubility and thus enables a positive pattern to be developed. The phenomenon of negative photopatterning results from intermacromolecular H-bonding between the carbonyl group of the imide ring and the hydroxy group which is formed in the photoinduced coupling reaction between BP and PI. Lithographic evaluation shows that the MK-doped positive-acting PI film cannot form useful patterns because UV wavelengths are strongly absorbed by MK, which limits the depth of photocoupling in the film. On the other hand, 2-μm-wide lines can be resolved in the BP-doped negative-acting 0.6-μm-thick PI film.

Die DSC-Analysen lassen vermuten, daß die zwei Polymerkomponenten nicht wechselwirken. Bei der Extraktion des PA6-Anteils der Blends mit Ameisensäure zeigt die Charakterisierung des PEHZ12-Extraktionsrückstands aber, daß zumindest bei bestimmten Zusammensetzungen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Komponenten auftreten. Modellreaktionen erlauben die Annahme, daß die PEHZ12-Polymerisation zwischen den Amino-Endgruppen des PA6 und den wachsenden PEHZ12-Polymerketten abläuft.
    Notes: Poly(etheraroylhydrazide) is synthesized in the presence of PA6 by means of low-temperature condensation polymerization of 4,4′-dichloroformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecane with terephthaloyl dihydrazide (TDH) in order to prepare polyhydrazide/poly-amide 6 (PEHZ12/PA6) blends. The thermal analysis of the blends by DSC seems to indicate that the two polymers are not interacting. Nevertheless, when the blends are subjected to an extraction process with formic acid in order to remove the PA6, the characterization of the residual PEHZ12 reveales that some interactions do occur between the constituent polymers, at least for selected compositions. Model experiments permit to hypothesize that the polymerization of PEHZ12 proceeds with a chemical interaction between amino end groups of PA6 and growing PEHZ12 chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: The crystallization behavior of PBT as well as PC is changed in the controlled-processed blend due to intermolecular interactions between the different macromolecules in molten state.If the kinetics of the crystallization process prevents a crystallization-induced separation, the partial miscibility of the amorphous phases, measured by the glass transition temperatures, will lead to a decrease of the crystallinity of PBT. The crystallinity, normalized to the concentration of PBT in the blend, is independent from the concentration of PC at low coolling rates.At high cooling rates, PBT is crystallizing stepwise in the blend PBT/PC 40/60 wt.-%. The crystallization temperature in the anisothermic crystallization process is increased at low contents of PC due to a changed nucleation mechanism. The half-time of crystallization is increasing in blends with an increasing PC-content in isothermic crystallization experiments.The normally amorphous PC crystallizes considerably fast in presence of PBT in PC-rich blends. The crystallization or change in the state of order of PC was measured in situ by X-ray diffraction. Calorimetric experiments confirm this result and allow a quantitative estimation of the PC-crystallinity, which amounts to some 20% in the blend PBT/PC 5/95 wt.-%.
    Notes: Das Kristallisationsverhalten sowohl von PBT als auch von PC ist im definiert verarbeiteten Blend infolge intermolekularer Wechselwirkungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Molekülen in der Schmelze verändert.Die über die Glasübergangstemperaturen gemessene teilweise Mischbarkeit der amorphen Phasen führt bei PBT zu einer Erniedrigung des Kristallinitätsgrades, wenn die kinetischen Bedingungen des Kristallisationsprozesses keine kristallisationsbedingte Entmischung zulassen. Der auf den PBT-Anteil normierte Kristallinitätsgrad ist bei kleinen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten vom PC-Anteil unabhängüg.In der Mischung PBT/PC 40/60 Gew.-% kommt es bei hohen Kühlraten zu einer fraktionierten Kristallisation. Die Kristallisationstemperatur bei anisothermer Kristallisation ist bei geringen PC-Gehalten durch Änderung des Keimbildungsmechanismus erhöht. Bei isothermer Kristallisation steigt mit zunehmendem PC-Anteil die Kristallisationshalbwertszeit des PBT an.Das normalerweise amorphe PC kann in Gegenwart von PBT in den PC-reichen Mischungen besonders schnell kristallisieren, wobei der Kristallisations- bzw. Ordnungsprozeß des PC in situ mittels der Röntgenbeugung gemessen wurde. Kalorimetrische Untersuchungen bestätigen dieses Ergebnis und erlauben eine quantitative Abschätzung des PC-Kristallinitätsgrades zu ca. 20% im Blend PBT/PC 5/95 Gew.-%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Elementaranalytische sowie NMR-, IR- und UV-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Photolyse von Halogenphenolnovolaken zur Substitution der Halogenatome durch Wasserstoff, der Bildung chinoider Gruppen und intermolekularen Vernetzung führt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Halogeneliminierung hängt von der Art des Halogens ab. Sie steigt in der Reihenfolge F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Die Chloreliminierung aus der 4-Position ist gegenüber der aus der 2- und 3-Position begünstigt. Außerdem verläuft die Abspaltung para-ständiger Chloratome aus Dimeren schneller als aus Trioder Tetrameren. ESR-Messungen bei 77 K sowie die Laserblitzphotolyse bei 296 K deuten auf die intermediäre Bildung von Phenoxyl- und Arylradikalen. Lithographische Tests belegen die hohe UV-Empfindlichkeit von Resisten auf der Basis von Halogenphenolnovolaken. Im Vergleich zu nichthalogenhaltigen Novolakresisten wird eine 6 - 10fache (System: 4-Chlorphenolnovolak/4,4′-Bisazidobiphenyl (5%)) bzw. eine ca. 25fache (System: 4-Chlorphenol-/m-Cresolnovolak/Hexamethoxymethylmelamin (5%)) Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit erreicht. Zur Interpretation wird ein Mechanismus postuliert, demzufolge die durch Halogenabspaltung hervorgerufene Sekundärradikalbildung zu einer zusätzlichen Vernetzung beiträgt. In den melaminhaltigen Resisten katalysiert der gebildete Halogenwasserstoff (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) außerdem die Reaktion der Melaminverbindung mit der Novolakmatrix.
    Notes: The photolysis of halogenophenol novolacs is determined by the substitution of halogens by hydrogen and the formation of quinoid groups and intermolecular crosslinks. This is concluded from elemental analysis, NMR, IR and optical absorption measurements. The rate of halogen release depends on the chemical nature of the halogen. It increases in the order F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Chlorine elimination from 4-position is favored over that from 2- and 3-position. Moreover, dimers release chlorine from 4-position much more readily than trimers and tetramers. ESR measurements at 77 K and flash photolysis studies at 296 K yielded evidence for the intermediate existence of phenoxyl and aryl radicals. Lithographic tests demonstrated the high UV-sensitivity of resist formulations based on halogen-containing novolacs. The increase in sensitivity relative to that of formulations based on nonhalogenated novolacs is 6 to 10fold system: 4-chlorophenol novolac/4,4′-bisazidobiphenyl (5%) and ca. 25fold system: 4-chlorophenol/m-cresol novolac/hexamethoxymethylmelamine (5%). A postulated reactions mechanism concerning the sensitivity increase takes into account that halogen elimination results in the formation of additional radicals that accelerate the rate of crosslinking. Moreover, hydrogen halide generated by hydrogen abstraction of halogen radicals (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) provides for the acid required to catalyze the reaction of the melamine compound with the novolac matrix.

Kristallisationspeaktemperatur (Tmax), Kristallisationsverlauf usw., wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie untersucht. Der Wert von Tmax häangt von der Größe der Gesamtoberfläache der CaCO3-Teilchen ab; Tmax ist bei nadelfäormigen Teilchen gräoßer als bei kubischen oder sphäarischen und hauangt in allen Fäallen der nicht-isothermen Kristallisation von der Abkäuhlgeschwindigkeit und der vorher erreichten maximalen Temperatur ab.
    Notes: Calcium carbonate of various particle shape (spheric, cubic, needle-shaped type) and polypropylene (PP) were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture was pressed into plates. The effect of particle shape on the crystallization behavior of PP/CaCO3 composites, such as crystallization peak temperature (TMAX), crystallized pattern, etc., was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The value of TMAX is explained by the total surface area of added CaCO3 particles; TMAX of needle-shaped series is larger than that of cubic or spheric ones. TMAX of various shaped CaCO3-filled PP totally depends on the cooling rate and maximum temperature in the non-isothermal crystallization, respectively.

The cationic polymer properties depend on the PEG initial molecular weight and on the diamine reactivity too. PEG with M̄n = 396 had the best behaviour in these reactions. The polyelectrolyte feature of cationic polymers was emphasized both in dilute aqueous solutions and in 2M aqueous NaCl solutions. The polyelectrolyte behaviour in 2M aqueous NaCl solution is determined by the PEG chain presence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Scherviskositäat fläussigkristalliner Ethylcellulose, die mit Cellulosepulver unterschiedlicher Partikelgräoße gefäullt war, wurde bei konstantem Schergefäalle mit einem Kegel-Platte-Viskosimeter bestimmt. Der Einfluß des Cellulosepulvergehalts, des Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnisses der Pulverteilchen und der Temperatur auf das viskose Verhalten und die Phasenäubergäange wird diskutiert. Der Zusatz von Cellulosepulver erhäoht die Viskositäat und verringert die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens(Ea), ohne jedoch die Phasenäubergäange zu beeinflussen. Die Viskositäat und die Aktivierungsenergie sind abhäangig vom Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnis der Pulverteilchen; mit zunehmender Gräoße dieses Verhäaltnisses wird die Viskositäatszunahme beschleunigt und die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens erhäoht, wäahrend die Aktivierungsenergie mit steigendem Pulvergehalt abnimmt. Die Phasenumwandlungen sind unabhäangig von der Partikelform. Der Einfluß des Pulvergehalts auf Viskositäat und Aktivierungsenergie ist abhäangig von der Art der fläussigen Phase; in der anisotropen Phase ist der Einfluß geringer als in der isotropen Phase. Dies scheint von der Ausrichtung der Pulverteilchen und der stäabchenfäormigen Molekäule herzuräuhren.
    Notes: Steady-state shear viscosity for the liquid crystalline ethyl cellulose solution filled with cellulose powders was determined using a cone-plate-type viscometer and the effects of cellulose powder content, powder aspect ratio and temperature on the viscometric behavior and phase transformation were discussed. The addition of powder increased the viscosity and decreased the activation energy (Ea) for flow, but did not affect the phase transformation. The viscosity and Ea depended on the aspect ratio; with greater aspect ratio, the viscosity enhancement was accelerated and Ea as well as the decrease in Ea with powder content increased. The phase transformation did not depend on the aspect ratio, the dependences of viscosity and of Ea on powder content depended on the solution phase; the dependences for the anisotropic phase were smaller than those for the isotropic one. The findings appeared to originate from the alignments of powders and rod-like molecules.

    Notes: The UV-degradation of an unstabilized and two HALS stabilized polyethylene (PE) films is described. The degradations are characterized by measuring the oxygen uptake, the formation of CO and CO2, the FT-IR spectra, the mechanical properties, the stabilizer concentration and the oxygen content of the film.The oxygen uptake of the unstabilized PE film led to the expected changes in the IR spectra and embrittlement of the film, while the oxygen uptake by the HALS stabilized films caused only minor changes. The differences between the results for the unstabilized and the HALS stabilized polymers are explained assuming that the initiation of the photodegradation of PE is due to charge transfer complexes.

    Notes: Irradiations (λ≥300 nm) of poly(butyleneterphtalate) films were carried out in both vacum and air. Photoproducts were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, chemical derivatization reactions and physical treatments. The repartition of photoproducts in the polymer was shown to be heterogeneous. A scheme accounting for the main routes of PBT photolysis was found on the basis of photoproducts identification. Most of oxidation products were analogous to vacum photolysis species; the mechanism of photooxidation proposed implied both pure photolytical processes and a photo-induced oxidation route.

    Notes: The effect of polymer density, processing conditions (quenching of annealing), degree of crystallinity, size of crystallite and mobility of polymer chains on the photo-and radiation-induced degradation and the polymer stability have been studied by UV, FTIR spectroscopic, viscosity and mechanical property measurements. Four kinds of annealed or quenched polyethylene (PE) films varying densities were used to the studies. Polystyrene (PSt) films were used to investigate the effect of chain mobility on polymer degradation. The following results were obtained. 1.In linear low density (LLD) PE, greater amounts of crosslinking (irradiated in vacuum) and chain scission (irradiated in air) were noticed than in mediun density (MD) PE and high density (HD) PE samples.2.Polyene formation is favored in the case of the irradiation in vacuum for LLDPE.3.Polymer stability evaluated by mechanical property such as elongation at break (%) is superior in LLDPE to MDPE and HDPE for annealed and quenched samples.4.Segmental motion of polymer chain also affects the polymer stability

    Description / Table of Contents: The study is on two component blends of high density polyethylenes, having normal and ultra-high molecular weight. The polyethylenes were homogenized by two routes: in powder state or by rolling in melt, then pressed at temperatures in the range from 140°C to 220°C. Comparative studies showed that the way of homogenizing of the components does practically not affect the main mechanical properties of the blends when pressed at temperatures ≥ 160°C. Of special interest are the characteristics of those systems where ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the matrix component.
    Notes: Untersucht wurden binäre Mischungen von Polyethylenen hoher Dichte rnit normaler und ultrahochmolekularer Molmasse, die auf zweierlei Weise - in Pulverform oder durch Walzen im Schmelzezustand - homogenisiert und bei Temperaturen zwischen 140 und 220°C gepreßt waren.Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Art der Homogenisierung der Komponenten praktisch keinen Einfluß auf die Eigenschaften bei Preßtemperaturen ≥ 160°C hat. Von besonderem Interesse sind die Eigenschaften der Systeme, in welchen das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen die Rolle der Matrixkomponente spielt.

Veränderte Peakflächen und Molmassenmittelwerte der Einzelpeaks zeigen, daß die Polymerisation über mehrere Arten aktiver Zentren verläuft.

The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Changed catalyst formation and polymerization conditions influenced the parameters of the SFF. Changed areas and changed molar mass averages indicate a polymerization with more than one peak maximum and kind of active species and lead to a better understanding of the polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Umsetzung von Chromacrylat mit Bisphenol A und einem Überschuß Epichlorhydrin wurden neuartige Epoxid-Harze hergestellt. Epoxy-Äquivalentgewicht, Gehalt an Hydroxygruppen und hydrolysierbarem Chlor sowie die Viskosität wurden bestimmt, und die Harze wurden mittels IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die thermischen Eigenschaften der bei 30°C für 24 h mit Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatisches Amin) gehärteten Harze wurden gemessen. Die Harze besitzen eine gute thermische und chemische Stabilität und eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit. Die Reaktion verläuft nach erster Ordnung; die Aktivierungsenergie beträgt 47 kJ mol-1 bzw. 34 kJ mol-1 mit bzw. ohne Chromacrylat. Aus spektroskopischen Untersuchungen wird geschlossen, daß das Chrom mit Bisphenol A einen Komplex bildet, der die Epoxidierung beschleunigt.
    Notes: Novel epoxy resins containing chromium acrylate have been synthesized by reacting chromium acrylate with bisphenol-A and excess epichlorohydrin. The quantities such as epoxy equivalent weight, hydroxy content, hydrolyzable chlorine content and viscosity have been determined. The resins have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The cured resins were evaluated for thermal properties. The curing of resins was carried out with Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatic amine adduct) at 30°C for 24 h. The cured resins have excellent thermal and chemical resistance, in addition to an excellent electrical conductivity. The reaction follows first order kinetics with an activation energy of 47 kJ mol-1 and 34 kJ mol-1 in the presence and absence of chromium acrylate, respectively. The chromium forms a complex with bisphenol-A, as indicated by spectroscopic studies, which increases epoxidation.

Mit steigendem Polystyrolgehalt erhöhen sich auch Dichte, Shore-A-Härte und Zugfestigkeit, während die Reißdehnung abnimmt. Die Untersuchungen der Vernetzungsdichte lassen eine Phasenumkehr vermuten.
    Notes: Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane based on hydroxyterminated natural rubber with varying NCO/OH ratios and polystyrene were synthesized under different experimental conditions. These IPNs were found to make tough films. The IPNs were characterized by their physical, mechanical and morphological properties like density, Shore-A hardness, crosslink density, tensile strength and elongation at break. The IPNs exhibited an increasing trend in density, Shore-A hardness and tensile strength with increasing polystyrene content, while elongation at break decreased with similar variation in polystyrene content. The crosslink density measurements indicated a possible phase inversion process.

Mit diesen immobilisierten Glucose-Oxidase-Membranen wurde eine wirkungsvolle Enzymelektrode entwickelt, deren Eigenschaften untersucht wurden. Der Einfluß der Photoinitiatorkonzentration in Poly(vinylalkohol) und der UV-Bestrahlungsdauer auf den Grad der Unlöslichkeit sowie die Aktivitätsausbeute der Membran wurden mit Glucose als Substrat untersucht. Temperatur- und pH-Abhängigkeit der relativen Aktivität, Stabilität bei mehrmaligem Gebrauch, Lagerstabilität und Kalibrierungsdiagramme der Enzym-Membranen wurden ermittelt. Eine beim Erstgebrauch auftretende Instabilitätserscheinung der Membranen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notes: A study of the immobilization of glucose oxidase on a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) membrane in the presence of UV sensitizers was carried out. Enzyme membranes were prepared from PVAL-diazoresin and PVAL-sensitizer systems, crosslinked by means of UV irradiation. An effective enzyme electrode was developed by using the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, and its characteristics were investigated. The effects of the concentration of sensitizers in poly(vinyl alcohol) and UV irradiation time on the degree of insolubility as well as the activity yield of the membrane were examined for the immobilized glucose oxidase using glucose as a substrate. Temperature and pH dependences of the relative activity, stability in repeated use, storage stability and calibration plots of the enzyme membranes were evaluated. The unstability phenomenon, found in the initial use of the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, which was prepared from PVAL-sensitizer system, was also investigated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Biopol, Biocellat and Mater-Bi, three biologically decomposable plastics have been tested for their use in medical industries. Biopol did not loose its stress and stiffness under sterilisation, and was also resistant against temperature and alcohol. Mater-Bi and Biocellat, the two other materials, did not satisfy the test applications. Water vapor sterilisation, temperature up to 60°C, at higher temperatures this material will embrittle.
    Notes: Für den Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoffe in der pharmazeutischen Industrie und Medizintechnik wurden Produkte verschiedener Hersteller, wie Biopol, Biocellat und Mater-Bi untersucht. Dabei zeigte vor allem Biopol das notwendige Anforderungsprofil, d.h. die Anwendbarkeit aller Sterilisationsverfahren ohne Festigkeitsbzw. Steifigkeitsverluste sowie Temperatur- und Alkoholbeständigkeit. Dagegen wiesen die Werkstoffe Mater-Bi und Biocellat einige Schwachstellen auf. Bei Mater-Bi lagen diese bei der Wasserdampfsterilisation sowie bei der geringen thermischen und Medienbeständigkeit. Biocellat versprödet dagegen durch die erhöhte Temperatur bei der Dampfsterilisation, d.h. daß ein Einsatz über 60°C nicht möglich wäre.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Alkylierung von Poly(5-vinyltetrazol) mit Dimethylsulfat und tert-Butylalkohol sowie Alkylhalogeniden RHal (R=CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH=CH2, n-C4H9 und t-C4H9) und die Kinetik dieser Reaktion wurden untersucht, um eine neue Herstellungsmethode für tetrazolhaltige Polymere mit wertvollen Eigenschaften zu entwickeln. Die vergleichenden Untersuchungen über die isomere Zusammensetzung und die spektroskopischen Daten von Poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyltetrazol)en, die durch die Alkylierung von Poly(5-vinyltetrazol) sowie durch die Copolymerisation der entsprechenden Monomeren hergestellt wurden, wurden mit IR-, 1H-NMR- und 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie durchgeführt. Der Alkylierungsumsatz beträgt bis zu 99,8%; dadurch können polymere Produkte erhalten werden, deren Zusammensetzung, Struktur und Eigenschaften denen der Homo- und Copolymeren sehr ähnlich sind.
    Notes: Alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) with dimethyl sulfate and tert-butyl alcohol as well as with alkyl halides RHal (R=CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH=CH2, n-C4H9, t-C4H9) has been studied under various conditions in order to develop a new method of synthesis of tetrazole-containing polymers having a complex of valuable properties. The kinetic study of the process and comparison of isomeric compositions and spectroscopic characteristics (IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) of poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyl tetrazole)s synthesized by alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) and of those prepared by (co)polymerization of the corresponding vinyl tetrazoles have been carried out. The alkylation is found to proceed to high conversion extents (up to 99.8%) and enables to obtain a wide variety of polymeric products having the composition, structure and properties very similar to those of homo- and copolymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Farbstoffe mit nichtlinearen optischen Eigenschaften wurden in einer zweistufigen Synthese aus 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylat (HEMA), 4-Carboxybenzaldehyd und verschiedenen Anilinderivaten hergestellt. Die Farbstoffe (aromatische Iminester von HEMA) wurden mit Styrol copolymerisiert, die erhaltenen Copolymere wurden mit DSC sowie IR-, 1H NMR- und UV-VIS-Spektroskopie charakterisiert, und ihre nichtlinearen Eigenschaften wurden untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die nichtlinearen Koeffizienten d31 und d33 vom Farbstoffgehalt der Copolymeren und der Art der elektronenspendenden Gruppen abhängig sind.
    Notes: Dyes for nonlinear optics have been synthesized in two steps from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 4-carboxybenzaldehyde and various substituted anilines. The obtained dyes (aromatic imine esters of HEMA) have been copolymerized with styrene, the copolymers characterized by DSC as well as IR, 1H NMR and UV-VIS spectroscopy, and studied for their nonlinear properties. The d31 and d33 nonlinear coefficients proved to be dependent on the dye content of the copolymers and on the nature of electrondonating groups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von Ca2+-bzw. Al3+-Ionen auf das Viskositätsverhalten (Salzverträglichkeit) wäßriger Lösungen von Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose (CMC) sowohl mit unterschiedlichem Polymerisationsgrad (DP) als auch mit unterschiedlichem Substitutionsgrad (DS) und verschiedenartiger Substitutentenverteilung wurde untersucht. Aus Viskositätsmessungen mit einem Rotationsviskosimeter bei einer Scherrate von 500 s-1 geht hervor, daß die relative Abnahme der Viskosität im Ergebnis des Zusatzes der mehrwertigen Metallkationen unabhängig vom DP (im Bereich von 160 bis 900) der CMC ist. Homogen hergestellte CMC-Proben 2 mit einem größeren Gehalt an 2,3,6-Tri-O-carboxymethylglucose-Einheiten in der Polymerkette weisen im Vergleich zu heterogen hergestellten CMCs 1 bei gleichem Gesamt-DS eine höhere Salzverträglichkeit auf.
    Notes: The influence of Ca2+-and Al3+-ions, respectively, upon the viscosity behaviour (so-called salt tolerance) of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different degree of polymerization (DP) and, on the other hand, with both different degree of substitution (DS) and distribution of substituents, was investigated. Viscosimetry by means of a rotational rheometer at a shear rate of 500 s-1 shows that the relative drop in viscosity as a result of addition of the multivalent metal cations is independent of DP (ranging from 160 to 900) of the CMC samples. Homogeneously synthesized CMCs (2) with a higher content of 2,3,6-tri-O-carboxymethyl glucose units in the polymer chain possess a significantly higher salt tolerance than those (1) prepared under heterogeneous reaction conditions at comparable total DS values.

    Description / Table of Contents: Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden durch mechanisches Mischen mit Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeren (EVA) und teilverseiftem EVA modifiziert, wobei Etherbindungen zwischen dem hydrolysierten EVA und dem MF-Harz nachgewiesen werden konnten, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von spritzgepreßten Formteilen im Vergleich zur Modifizierung mit EVA verbessern. Der Zusatz solcher Modifikatoren erhöht die Duktilität und verringert im Falle von EVA die Nachschwindung der überaus steifen MF-Matrix, solange der Modifikatoranteil gering bleibt. Dagegen werden die Steifigkeit und die Wärmeformbeständigkeit verschlechtert. Die durch solche unvernetzten Polymeren erreichbare Steigerung der Schlagzähigkeit bleibt allerdings unzureichend.
    Notes: Melamine-formaldehyde moulding compounds (MF) were modified by mechanical mixing with ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) and with partially hydrolysed EVA. Ether linkages between the hydrolysed material and the MF resin improve the mechanical properties of the transfer moulded parts containing the hydrolysed material compared to those made with EVA. The use of both modifying polymers improves the ductility and, in case of the partially hydrolysed material, the postshrinkage of the extremely rigid MF matrix, as long as the modification polymer content is kept low. On the contrary, Young's modulus and the heat deflection temperature are deteriorated. The improvement in impact strength by use of those uncrosslinked polymers is still insufficient.

    Notes: A series of copolyesteramides based on adipic acid/1,6-hexane diamine/∊-caprolactone and Nylon 6,6 salt/∊-caprolactone were synthesized. Their molecular weights, determined by gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, were found to lie within the range from 1000 up to 7000. Their thermal properties (glass transitions, melting points and heats of melting, and decomposition temperatures) were recorded with diferential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, respectively, and correlated to the comonomer feed composition. The FT-IR and NMR spectra were also recorded in order to confirm the composition of the copolyesteramides and to compare them with that of the comonomer feed. The biodegradability of the synthesized copolymers was tested by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Als Nebenprodukte der Polykondensation werden eine Ketoverbindung sowie Wasser und Kohlendioxid gebildet. Die Carboxygruppen der Abietinsäure sind an der Kondensationsreaktion beteiligt. In Abwesenheit von Paraformaldehyd wurde das Abietinsäure/Sulfonsäurekatalysator-System untersucht, um zusätzliche Informationen über die Reaktion zu erhalten. Der Reaktionsverlauf hängt von der Temperatur und der chemischen Struktur des Katalysators ab. Ein möglicher Reaktionsmechanismus der Kondensation wird diskutiert.
    Notes: New condensation products have been synthesized by heating abietic acid and formaldehyde at high temperatures in the presence of sulfonic-type acid catalysts. The main polycondensation reaction is associated with a secondary one which leads to a ketonic compound, carbon dioxide and water. The carboxylic groups of abietic acid participate in this condensation reaction. The behaviour of the abietic acid-sulfonic acid catalyst system was studied in absence of formaldehyde to acquire additional information about the reaction. The process is defined by the reaction temperature and chemical nature of the catalyst. A possible mechanism of the condensation reaction is discussed on the basis of the obtained results.

    Notes: Alkanes with highly substituted carbon-carbon bonds can be cleaved in free radicals by homolytic dissociation under the influence of thermal energy. The energy of dissociation is mainly determined by the type and size of the respective substituents. For tetraarylbutane dinitriles the temperatures of decomposition are in the range of other technically used initiators. But nevertheless, these compounds are up to now rather seldom used to initiate free radical polymerizations. This is connected with the special mechanism of initiation: the formed highly substituted alkyl radicals are relatively stable and show only a rather low reactivity against the usually used monomers. Therefore, in the beginning of the polymerization the radical concentration is rather high which leads not only to addition to monomers but also to a pronounced primary radical termination. In some cases this termination process is reversible which results in an unusual polymerization kinetics. Depending on the type of monomer and the degree of reversibility of the primary radical termination, either a period of “dead-end” polymerization follows or the cleavage of the oligomers at the chain end results in a re-initiation process with a “normal” polymerization with increased rate. The reaction mechanism, kinetics and some possible applications of such initiating alkanes are reported.

COC können mit Metallocenen in beliebiger zusammensetzung und mit kontrollierter Mikrostruktur hergestellt werden. Die somit erreichte und durch zusätzliche Modifikationen noch erweiterbare Breite des Eigenschaftsspektrums ermöglicht vielfältige Anwendungen dieser neuen Polymerklasse. Die wichtigsten Schlüsselfaktoren im rohstofflich-technologischen Bereich, die diese Struktur- und Eigenschaftsvielfalt ergeben, werden beispielhaft beschrieben.
    Notes: Investigation of the polymerization process and property modification of metallocene-based cycloolefin copolymers (COC) shows that this monomer-catalyst combination enables synthesis of a new class of transparent thermoplastic polymers. Metallocene catalysis offers much opportunity to vary the composition and microstructure of the copolymers. The breadth of the polymer spectrum which can be further widened by polymer modification enables many applications for this new class of thermoplastics. The key parameters that control structure and properties in the COC family are discussed in this paper.

    Notes: The present paper deals with the synthesis and modification of functionalized polymers characterized by a special molecular architecture. The reactivity of a functionalized polymer with comb-like structure can be controlled in a significant manner by the crystalline order of the side chains. In contrast, photocrosslinking of comblike polymers containing cinnamic components in the side chains influences the crystallization process. The air drying process of a modified polybutadiene system with comb-like structure was shown to depend sensitively on the side chain order. Enzymatic synthesis of new monomers and polymers is briefly reviewed. The complexing capability of cyclodextrines were used to synthesize polyrotaxanes. Finally, the synthesis of a chiral polymerizable dendrimer containing eight estergroups in the monomer unit is presented.

    Notes: Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles are prepared by means of emulsion polycondensation or emulsion polymerization of alkoxysilanes or cyclic organic siloxanes. Starting from these intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles, graft copolymers are obtained by free-radical emulsion polymerization of unsaturated olefinic monomers (e.g. acrylates, styrene) in the presence of (functionalized) organosiloxanes. Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(siloxane) particles and their graft copolymers are characterized by means of light scattering (in dispersion), electron microscopy and thermal analyses (DSC, DMTA).

The three types of SBS that were used are SBS1, SBS2 and SBS3 having different styrene/butadiene ratios. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the miscibility. The morphology was examined by SEM. The miscibility of the blends decreases with decreasing PS content. The notch sensitivity is improved by blending. Finally, the micelle model was used to explain the testing phenomena.

Die inhärenten Viskositäten liegen im Bereich von 10-20 ml/g. Die Eignung eines repräsentativen Zielmoleküls zur Bindung von Medikamenten wurde durch eine kovalente Verankerung einer als Medikamentmodell fungierenden Ferrocen-Verbindung untersucht. Dabei wurde ein wasserlösliches Polymer-Ferrocen-Konjugat erhalten.
    Notes: Aliphatic polyamides comprising poly(ethylene oxide) chain segments of various lengths, designed for use as drug carriers, are synthesized by interfacial polymerization of succinyl chloride with the two Jeffamine types ED-900 and ED-2001, formally described by the supplier as O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 800 and O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 1900. Copolyamides comprising both short-chain diamine and Jeffamine segments are similarly prepared, as are polyamides made up of cystine and diamine segments. The polymerizations are performed in a two-phase methylene chloride-water system at temperatures near or below 0°C. The product polymers, crudely fractionated by staged aqueous-phase dialysis at an ultimate molecular-mass cut-off of 25000, are collected after freeze-drying as water-soluble resins or solids and are characterized microanalytically and by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Inherent viscosities are in the range of 10-20 ml g-1. The drug-binding potential of a representative target polymer is probed by the covalent anchoring of a ferrocene compound used as a drug model, giving a water-soluble polymer-ferrocene conjugate.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Katalysatorsystem Zirkonocendichlorid/Methylalumoxan wurde auf Siliciumdioxid aufgebracht, um Katalysatoren fur die Suspensions- order Gasphasenpolymerisation von Ethylen herzustellen. Die häochste Aktivitäat wurde für eine sandwichartige, dreilagige Verankerung von Zirkonzentren auf der Träageroberfläache gefunden. Dieneuen Katalysatorsysteme besitzen eine im Vergleich zu den entsprechenden homogenen Katalysatoren geringere Aktivitäat. Die Immobilisierung der aktiven Katalysatorzentren führt zu einer deutlichen Erhäohung der Polymermolmassen. Dabei bleibt die enge Molekulargewichtsverteilung der Polymerprodukte nahezu erhalten. Solche auf Träager aufgebrachte Metallocen-Katalysatoren käonnten für die Herstellung von Polyethylenen mit kontrollierter Rheologie Anwendung finden.
    Notes: The system zirconocene dichloride/methylalumoxane was supported on silica in order to provide ethylene polymerization catalysts for suspension or gas phase processes. Highest activity was found for a sandwich-like, three layer anchoring of the zirconium centers on the support surface. The new catalyst systems show a decrease of activity compared to polymerization experiments in homogeneous phase. However, the molecular weights are increased and the weight distributions remain narrow by immobilization of the active catalyst sites. Those supported metallocene catalysts could find application for the synthesis of polyethylene materials with controlled rheology.

    Description / Table of Contents: Vernetzte Copolmere aus Butylacrylat (BA) und Ethylenglycol-dimethacrylat (EGDMA) wurden auf ihre Eignung als stationäare Phase für die Chromatographie untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß gering vernetzte Copolymere (〈 30 Gew.-% EGDMA) nicht poräos sind, wäahrend Matrices mit mehr als 40 Gew.-% EGDMA eine konstante Porositäat aufweisen. Eine Erhäohung des Vernetzergehaltes beeinflußt hauptsäachlich die Hydrophobie der Oberfläache. Zwei Meßmethoden für diese Eigenschaft werden diskutiert: Die Absorption von Alkylalkoholen und von Aminosäauren. Für letztere wurde aus der Steigung der Beziehung zwischen der Sälenkapazitäat und dem Hydrophobie-Parameter der Aminosäauren ein Matrix-Hydrophobie-Index berechnet und dieser mit den bekannten Energien der Wechselwirkung von Alkylalkohol—CH2 Gruppen mit der Polymermatrix verglichen. Die Vorteile der Verwendung des Hydrophobie-Indexes bei der Bewertung von polymeren Sorbentien werden aufgezeigt.
    Notes: Copolymers of butyl acrylate (BA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were evaluated as potential chromatographic packings. It was found that slightly crosslinked copolymers (up to 30 wt.-% EGDMA) did not provide porous material, while for matrices which exceeded 40 wt.-% of EGDMA the porous structure remained unchangeable. The increase of crosslinker content mostly affected the surface hydrophobicity. Two methods of measurement of this property were discussed: Sorption of alkyl alcohols and amino acids. Taking the latter for testing, a polymer matrix hydrophobicity index was calculated as the slope of dependence of column capacity vs. amino acid hydrophobicity parameter. The indices were verified against well-established interaction energies of —CH2— groups of alkyl alcohols and polymer surfaces. Some benefits of the use of the hydrophobicity index in evaluation of polymer sorbents were demonstrated.

Abhängig von Lösungsmittel, Temperatur und Katalysator werden unterschiedliche Primärprodukte erhalten. Die Reaktion in Masse bei 120°C mit Titan(IV)-isopropylat als Katalysator liefert ein transparentes Harz A. Das eduktfreie Produkt wurde IR-, 1H- und 13C-NMR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert und chromatographisch mit GPC und HPLC untersucht. Die trimeren und tetrameren Siloxane bestehen aus Diphenylsilan- und 3-Glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilaneinheiten. Das Verhältnis von cyclischen zu linearen Molekülen beträgt 2:1. Höhermolekulare Verbindungen entstehen nur in geringen Mengen. Das Epoxysiloxangemisch löst sich in unterschiedlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln und ist mit kommerziell verfügbaren Epoxiden mischbar. Die Zeitabhs̈ngigkeit von Viskosität und Epoxidwert bei der Lagerung unter Normalbedingungen wurden gemessen und mit HPLC verfolgt . Die Lagerstabilität wurde durch eine zusätzliche thermische Behandlung verbessert.
    Notes: Condensation of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane I with diphenylsilanediol II was investigated. Depending on solvent, temperature and catalyst, different products were obtained. Bulk reaction at 120°C using titanium(IV)-isopropylate as a catalyst provided the transparent resin A. A was characterised by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and contained no reactants. GPC and HPLC studies revealed that A consists of trimer and tetramer siloxanes of pertinent diphenylsilane and 3-glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilane moieties. The proportion of cyclic to linear molecules was evaluated 2:1. Only small amounts of high-molecular-weight compounds were observed. The epoxysiloxane product proved to be miscible with various organic solvents and with commercial epoxy resins. Time dependence of viscosity and epoxy content were recorded during ambient storage and monitored by HPLC. Pot-life was improved by a subsequent thermal procedure.

Die Molmassenverteilungen (MMD) der erhaltenen Polybutadiene wurden mit der Größenausschlußchromatographie (SEC) untersucht. Sie lassen sich mit Summen aus Schulz-Flory-Funktionen (SFF) beschreiben. Da eine Art aktiver Zentren eine SFF ergibt, die durch Molmassenmittelwerte definiert ist, lassen sich verschiedene Molmassenverteilungen nach Bandentrennung auf gleiche und verschiedene Arten aktiver Zentren untersuchen. In den untersuchten Systemen lassen sich zwei vergleichbare und eine unterscheidbare Art aktiver Zentren zuordnen. Auf diese Weise wurde das Kettenwachstum in Abhängigkeit von den Komponenten und Katalysatorformierungsbedingungen untersucht.
    Notes: Cis-1,4-polybutadiene was produced by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a catalyst system containing Ni(OOC8H15)2 and Al(C2H5)3 and the Lewis acids BF3 · O(C2H5)2 or TiCl4. The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Taking into account that one kind of active species gives one SFF defined by molar mass averages, one comparable active species in both systems and one different were found. This way it was tried to find a relationship between the grown up of the active species depending on components and reactions conditions.

    Notes: αD-N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, sialic acid) is a commonly occurring carbohydrate residue in various cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins. This residue is linked terminally or internally to Gal residues via an α(2 → 3) or α(2 → 6) linkage. In the cell surface receptor, sialyl-LewisX, a terminal α(2 → 3) linkage is present. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that in solution LewisX adopts a relatively rigid structure. In order to model the Neu5Ac residue, vacuum molecular dynamics of this monosaccharide were compared with simulations that explicitly include solvent water. The dynamical average of the monosaccharide conformation obtained from the two simulations was similar. Vacuum calculations for the disaccharide Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β-O-methyl show that a number of low energy minima are accessible to this disaccharide. Molecular dynamics simulations starting from the low energy minima show conformational transitions with a time scale of 10-50 ps among several of the minima while large barriers between other minima prevent transitions on the time scale studied. Simulations of this disaccharide in the presence of solvent show fewer conformational transitions, illustrating a dampening effect of the solvent that has been observed in some other studies. Our results are most consistent with an equilibrium among multiple conformations for the Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β linkage. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    The effect of the L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid residue on protein conformation. IV. Local substitutions in the collagen triple helix (1994)

    Notes: The properties of collagen are affected by the replacement of Pro by imino acid analogues. The structural effect of the low-level local substitution of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (Aze) has been analyzed by computing the energy of CH3CO-(Gly-Pro-Pro)4-NHCH3 triple helices in which a single residue of one strand has been replaced by Aze. When Aze is in position Y of a (Gly-X-Y) unit, low-energy local deformations are introduced in the triple helix, i.e., it becomes more flexible. On the other hand, the flexibility of the triple helix is not increased with Aze in position X. The energy of the triple helix to coil transition is not changed significantly by this amount of substitution. In an earlier study, we have demonstrated that the regular substitution of Aze in every tripeptide distorts or destabilizes the triple helix to a large extent [A. Zagari, G. Némethy, & H. A. Scheraga (1990) Biopolymers, Vol. 30, pp. 967-974 ]. Thus, it appears that a high level of substitution is required to cause the observed chemical and biological effects of Aze on collagen. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A dielectric relaxation peak due to bound water of globule proteins in aqueous solution was observed at first by the use of a time domain reflectometry. This peak locates around 100 MHz as well as that of the aqueous DNA solution and the moist collagen, and has a relaxation strength in proportion to surface of the globule protein except for trypsin and pepsin of hydrolase. It is suggested that this peak is caused by orientation of bound water molecules on the protein surface. The number of bound water molecules estimated is in good agreement with that obtained by other method such as x-ray analysis. The solution exhibits another peak below 100 MHz, which is caused by the rotation of globule protein supplemented by migration of the counterion. Its relaxation time is completely proportional to the molecular weight of the protein. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The enthalpies of interactions of porcine arterial elastin with alkali metal and alkali earth halides and sulphates were investigated by means of flow microcalorimetry and the stoichiometry measured using radiotracer techniques. In aqueous solutions, all alkali earth halides interacted exothermically at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 2.5M. All the alkali metal halides, particularly NaCl, exhibited complex concentration-dependent interactions, exothermic at low concentrations and endothermic at high concentrations. Both the anion and cation contributed to the response, although the anion seemed to dominate. SO42- interacted most strongly of the anions tested. All interactions were reversible in the sense that repeat experiments gave identical results, but the enthalpy of “adsorption” was generally different from that of “desorption.” The enthalpy of interaction depended on the conformation of the elastin in a salt-specific manner. For example, CaCl2 and MgCl2 interacted similarly in water but very differently in 1 : 1 water : methanol. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The photophysical behavior of protoporphyrin IX (P) and 1-naphthylacetic acid (N), covalently bound to ε-amino groups of poly (L-lysine) (PL), was investigated by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence as a function of pH. Within the whole range of pH explored, i.e., 7-11, exciplex emission is minor and nearly pH independent. Fluorescence quantum yields, decay time measurements, and transient absorption spectra suggest that quenching of the excited naphthyl chromophore chiefly occurs by interconversion to the triplet state when the sample is randomly coiled and by intramolecular electron transfer (ET) from ground-state porphyrin when the polypeptide is in α-helical conformation. The kinetic law, based on a two-state model for the polymeric matrix, is presented. The specific rate constant of photoinduced ET is 3.1 · 107 s-1 (25°C), in excellent agreement with that obtained by taking simply into account the lifetimes of naphthalene fluorescence in α-helical PNPL and NPL (pH 11). The relaxation time of the helix-coil transition was found to be definitely shorter than 20 ns. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Aggregation of filipin in aqueous medium and filipin-induced changes in cholesterol micelles have been studied using intensity and dynamic light scattering. The dependencies of filipin aggregate dimensions on concentration, solvent, and temperature were studied, and revealed that the aggregates do not have a well-defined geometry, i.e., a critical micelle concentration cannot be detected and stable structures are not formed. The aggregates are of size Rg ≈ 110 nm and Rh ≈ 63 nm, referring to the radius of gyration and hydrodynamic radius, respectively. In the concentration range studied (1 μM 〈 C 〈 30 μM), a low molecular weight species (monomer/dimer) is always present together with the aggregates. In ethanol/ water mixtures, large (Rg ≈ 500 nm), narrow distribution aggregates are formed in the water volume fraction range 0.45 〈 ΦH2O 〈 0.65. Aggregation also occurs on changing the temperature; In the range 7-37°C, smaller aggregates (10-30 nm) form and the process is only partially reversible.No pronounced effect of filipin on the structure of the cholesterol micelles was observed (a small increase in Rg and Rh is noted). These results rule out any “specificity” for the filipin interactions with cholesterol, which has been considered a key event in the filipin biochemical mode of action. A reevaluatiori Of this question is suggested and some alternatives are advanced. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polypeptide α-carbon backbones were modeled as freely rotating chains made up of spherical monomers. The monomers were assigned an abstract binary “hydrophobicity” property that could be either present or absent. Under the assumption that “hydrophobic” residues tend to cluster together, away from the polar solvent, three-dimensional conformations of random copolymers of “hydrophobic” and “hydrophilic” monomers were calculated by a novel algorithm based on distance geometry techniques. The simulated molecules were globular and compact, in shape, and possessed distinct hydrophobic cores, indicating that our method was capable of reproducing some of the important global features of real polypeptides. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The linear nonapeptide hormone bradykinin (Arg1-Pro2-Pro3-Gly4-Phe5-Ser6-Pro7-Phe8-Arg9) is involved, either directly or indirectly, in a wide variety of physiological processes, particularly pain and hyperanalgesia. Additional evidence suggests that bradykinin also plays a major role in inflammatory response, asthma, sepsis, and symptoms associated with the rhinoviral infection. It has long been speculated that a β-turn at the C-terminus of bradykinin plays a major role in the biological activity of the neuropeptide. The β-turn forming potential of bradykinin in three vastly different local chemical environments, DMSO, 9 : 1 dioxane/water, and in the presence of 7.4 mM lyso phosphatidylcholine micelles, was investigated using two-dimensional homonuclear nmr experiments coupled with simulated annealing calculations. The results of these investigations show that in all three systems residues 6-9 of the C-terminus adopt very similar β-turn like structures. These results suggest that the β-turn at the C-terminus of bradykinin is an important secondary structural feature for receptor recognition and binding. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Using dynamic light scattering (DLS), we have measured the diffusion coefficient and internal motions of narrow topoisomer distributions of pUCl8 DNA (2687 base pairs) as a function of linking number. The topoisomer distributions were prepared by C-18 reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography separation of topoisomerase I/ethidium-generated topoisomer families. The measured diffusion coefficients agree well with those predicted by a Monte Carlo model for the generation of equilibrium ensembles of DNA topoisomers of defined linking number. The only parameters used in the model were the bending persistence length, torsional rigidity, and hydrodynamic radius of DNA known independently from other techniques. Two different values for the torsional rigidity, α = 4 · 10-12 and 8.8 · 10-12 dyn cm, were used. Intrachain interactions in the DNA were taken into account by using an “effective DNA radius,” which was varied between rDNA = 1-8 nm. The best agreement between the measured and calculated values was obtained for α = 4 · 10-12 dyn cm, rDNA = 4 nm. The internal motions of the DNA topoisomers were characterized by the amplitude of the fast relaxation of the DLS autocorrelation function. Our earlier result that supercoiling leads to a decrease in the amplitude of internal motion was confirmed. In addition, we see a characteristic maximum of the internal motion amplitude at a superhelix density of σ = -0.03. The maximum occurs in the same range as a structural transition in pUC8 dimers previously described by L. Song et al. (1990 J. Mol. Biol. 214, 307-326). © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
