Abstract
The BamHI J fragment of Cydia pomonella granulosis virus was subcloned and subjected to transposon mutagenesis in Escherichia coli using a Tn3 derivative. After screening by restriction endonuclease digestion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 44 clones were selected representing insertions every 100 to 300 bp. The complete sequence was compiled and the transposon insertion sites mapped precisely by sequencing. Analysis of the sequence revealed the presence of 7 potential open reading frames (ORFs). The BamHI J fragment was already known to encode IAP and OPDV-E6. Three other ORFs encode products similar to known proteins, viz. an Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus 8.6 kDa protein, a Lymantria dispar nuclear polyhedrosis virus 34 kDa protein, and vertebrate reovirus omega-1 proteins. The ORF with similarity to omega-1 is also similar to baculovirus p10 proteins. In both cases, the similarity occurs in regions likely to form a coiled-coil structure.

Abstract
Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) virus (Togaviridae: Alphavirus) was shown previously to have arisen by recombination between eastern equine encephalomyelitis (EEE)- and Sindbis-like viruses (C. S. Hahn, S. Lustig, E. G. Strauss, and J. H. Strauss, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5997-6001, 1988). We have now examined the recombinational history and evolution of all viruses belonging to the WEE antigenic complex, including the Buggy Creek, Fort Morgan, Highlands J, Sindbis, Babanki, Ockelbo, Kyzylagach, Whataroa, and Aura viruses, using nucleotide sequences derived from representative strains. Two regions of the genome were examined: sequences of 477 nucleotides from the C terminus of the E1 envelope glycoprotein gene which in WEE virus was derived from the Sindbis-like virus parent, and 517 nucleotide sequences at the C terminus of the nsP4 gene which in WEE virus was derived from the EEE-like virus parent. Trees based on the E1 region indicated that all members of the WEE virus complex comprise a monophyletic group. Most closely related to WEE viruses are other New World members of the complex: the Highlands J, Buggy Creek, and Fort Morgan viruses. More distantly related WEE complex viruses included the Old World Sindbis, Babanki, Ockelbo, Kyzylagach, and Whataroa viruses, as well as the New World Aura virus. Detailed analyses of 38 strains of WEE virus revealed at least 4 major lineages; two were represented by isolates from Argentina, one was from Brazil, and a fourth contained isolates from many locations in South and North America as well as Cuba. Trees based on the nsP4 gene indicated that all New World WEE complex viruses except Aura virus are recombinants derived from EEE- and Sindbis-like virus ancestors. In contrast, the Old World members of the WEE complex, as well as Aura virus, did not appear to have recombinant genomes. Using an evolutionary rate estimate (2.8 x 10(-4) substitutions per nucleotide per year) obtained from E1-3' sequences of WEE viruses, we estimated that the recombination event occurred in the New World 1,300 to 1,900 years ago. This suggests that the alphaviruses originated in the New World a few thousand years ago.

Abstract
We treated anemic mice with Anisodamine hydrochloride followed by Hb electrophoresis and detection of globin chain synthesis rate. We found that the synthesis of their globin chains remarkably increased and would last for approximately 10 days, While the results did not show any generation of fetal Hb, possible effect of the drug might come from the raising of alpha and beta globin chains of the adult mice.

Abstract
A cDNA encoding farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase (FPPS) has been cloned from a cDNA library of Artemisia annua. The sequence analysis showed that the cDNA encoded a protein of 343 amino acid (aa) residues with a calculated molecular weight of 39420 kDa. The deduced aa sequence of the cDNA was highly similar to FPPS from other plants, yeast and mammals, and contained the two conserved domains found in polyprenyl synthases including FPPS, geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases and hexaprenyl diphosphate synthases. The expression of the cDNA in Escherichia coli showed enzyme activity for FPPS in vitro.

Abstract
We studied molecular evolution of the mosquito-borne alphavirus Highlands J (HJ) virus by sequencing PCR products generated from 19 strains isolated between 1952 and 1994. Sequences of 1200 nucleotides including portions of the E1 gene and the 3' untranslated region revealed a relatively slow evolutionary rate estimated at 0.9-1.6 x 10(-4) substitutions per nucleotide per year. Phylogenetic trees indicated that all HJ viruses descended from a common ancestor and suggested the presence of one dominant lineage in North America. However, two or more minor lineages probably circulated simultaneously for periods of years to a few decades. Strains isolated from a horse suffering encephalitis, and implicated in a recent turkey outbreak, were not phylogenetically distinct from strains isolated in other locations during the same time periods. Our findings are remarkably similar to those we obtained previously for another North American alphavirus, eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus, with which Highlands J shares primary mosquito and avian hosts, geographical distribution, and ecology. These results support the hypotheses that the duration of the transmission season affects arboviral evolutionary rates and vertebrate host mobility influences genetic diversity.

Abstract
Resistance tests, by conventional methods and by observing the time for knockdown, showed no evidence for any build up of resistance to deltamethrin in malaria vectors from areas where millions of bednets have been treated with this compound annually for up to 7 years. However, a strain of Culex quinquefasciatus which had been bred in a factory in which volatile pyrethroids are handled had developed unequivocal resistance to deltamethrin. Observation of the time for knockdown gave clearer discrimination between resistant and susceptible strains than did observation of percentage mortality after a standard exposure time.

Abstract
The effect of rifampicin and isoniazid pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of quinine after a single oral dose (600 mg quinine sulphate) was studied in nine healthy young Thai male volunteers using a three-way randomized crossover design. Subjects were studied over three 2 day periods, during which they received no pretreatment, or pretreatment with daily 600 mg p.o. rifampicin for 2 weeks, or isoniazid 300 mg p.o. daily for 1 week, prior to quinine administration. The mean (+/- s.d.) clearance (CL/F) of quinine coadministered with rifampicin (0.87 +/- 0.35 1 h-1 kg-1) was significantly greater than that of quinine alone (0.14 +/- 0.05 1 h-1 kg-1). The mean difference in clearance from the control treatment was 0.73 1 h-1 kg-1, with 95% confidence interval (C.I.) of 0.48 to 0.98. The unbound clearance (CLu/F) of quinine, which reflects the activity of the drug-metabolizing enzymes, was considerably greater (6.9-fold) in subjects when rifampicin was coadministered with quinine than that of quinine alone (6.9 +/- 3.6 vs 1.0 +/- 0.5 1 h-1 kg-1; the 95% C.I. for the mean difference was 3.3 to 8.5). The mean elimination half-life of quinine when coadministered with rifampicin (5.5 +/- 3.0 h) was significantly shorter than when quinine was given alone (11.1 +/- 3.0 h; the 95% C.I. for the mean difference was -8.6 to -2.6). In contrast to rifampicin, pretreatment for 1 week with 300 mg oral isoniazid had no significant effects on the pharmacokinetics of quinine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The studies on DNA, RNA and protein synthesis of Leydig cells in aging mice testis of several groups were carried out by light microscopic radioautography. The cells labelled with 3H-thymidine, 3H-uridine and 3H-leucine were observed in various aging groups. The labeling index with 3H-thymidine was low at embryonic and early postnatal stages. It increased slightly at 6 months, reached its peak at 9 months and maintained a relatively high level at a later period. The number of the silver grains labelled with 3H-uridine over the nuclei and cytoplasm were observed from embryonic day 19 and increased from 3 months onwards. From adult to old ages, the activity of 3H-uridine incorporation was maintained at a high level in the nuclei and a relatively low level in the cytoplasm. The aging change of 3H-leucine incorporation was found from this experiment. The labeling indices between embryonic and early postnatal stages showed no obvious differences while the number of the silver grains over both cytoplasm and nucleus increased from 6 months onwards and was maintained a high level until old age.

Abstract
Since 1987, up to 2.42 million bednets owned by rural householders in over 40 counties in seven prefectures of Sichuan Province, China, have been sprayed annually with deltamethrin at a dose of about 10 mg/m2. Data for the years 1987-89 indicate that there were marked reductions in the biting populations and survival of the two vector species Anopheles anthropophagus and A. sinensis. Extensive tests in 1992 in areas where bednet spraying had been carried out for 5 years showed that mortality was 100% with the WHO-recommended discriminating dose of deltamethrin, i.e., there was no indication of resistance. Malaria data obtained by passive surveillance of reported cases, mass blood surveys of schoolchildren, and active surveillance of reported blood slides from fever cases all indicated marked reductions after introduction of the net spraying. In contrast, in the control areas, where the nets were not treated, the situation remained static or deteriorated slightly.

Abstract
N-Methylpurine-DNA glycosylase (MPG), a ubiquitous DNA repair enzyme, removes N-alkylpurines and other purine lesions induced in DNA by simple alkylating carcinogens. A mouse MPG cDNA clone was isolated from a lambda recombinant phage library of BALB/c mouse lung cell and characterized. Using the mouse MPG cDNA as a probe, the complete mouse MPG gene was isolated in two overlapping lambda recombinant genomic clones. The 6-kb gene has four exons containing 1,002 bp of coding sequence. The transcription start site was identified in the genomic sequence by primer extension of MPG mRNA from a mouse lung fibroblast cell line. The location of this transcription start site was confirmed by in vitro transcription with the promoter-containing plasmid template. Promoter function of the sequence 5' upstream of the transcription initiation site was shown by transient expression of the firefly luciferase reporter gene under the control of this sequence in transfected human and mouse cells. The mouse MPG promoter contains no TATA box, but has a CAAT element and is G.C-rich with putative AP2 elements and SP1-complementary sequences.

Abstract
To confirm the feasibility and accuracy of the method for the noninvasive measurement of the left ventricular dp/dt, 53 patients with mitral regurgitation underwent simultaneous determination of left ventricular dp/dt by continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Doppler-determined left ventricular dp/dt is derived from the Doppler mitral regurgitant spectrum by dividing the magnitude of the left ventricular-atrial pressure gradient rise between 1 and 3 m/s of the mitral regurgitant velocity signal by the time taken for this change. Left ventricular dp/dt by Doppler ranged from 629 to 3494 mmHg/s (mean +/- SD, 1971 +/- 785 mmHg/s), and that by catheterization varied between 716 and 3650 mmHg/s (mean +/- SD, 1974 +/- 727 mmHg/s). There was a high correlation (r = 0.93, y = 0.862x + 274.77, SEE = 271 mmHg/s, p < 0.001) of left ventricular dp/dt between the two techniques. It is concluded that left ventricular dp/dt is one of the most commonly used parameters for the evaluation of left ventricular systolic function and that Doppler echocardiography provides a new, accurate and noninvasive method of evaluation.

Abstract
Analysis of how external proliferation signals impinge on the regulation of the cell cycle is ideally performed in cells that are capable of normal physiological withdrawal into the quiescent (G0) phase of the cell cycle as well as resumption of growth following appropriate stimuli. Targeted homologous recombination (gene targeting) provides an important new approach to determine the function of specific genes in these cellular processes. Current gene targeting methodology necessitates the use of immortal and stably diploid cell lines. This report investigates several rodent cell lines, by both genetic and physiological criteria, for use in gene targeting studies of the G0 to G1 transition. All murine cell lines examined were aneuploid. Some rat cell lines were euploid by chromosome number, but three specific genes, c-myc, c-raf-1 and Rb, were not always diploid. Only one cell line, an early-passage subclone of the Rat-1 cell line, was diploid for c-myc, c-raf-1 and Rb. An hprt- derivative of this cell line was isolated (designated TGR-1) and its karyotype was established by G-banding. TGR-1 cells were shown to withdraw into G0 upon serum starvation and to uniformly enter S phase after refeeding. Expression patterns of the c-myc, c-raf-1 and Rb genes and several properties of the gene products were found to be normal. The frequency of targeted homologous recombination of the c-myc and c-raf-1 loci was found to be within values observed with other cell lines. Thus, by both genetic and physiological criteria the TGR-1 cell line is a good model system for the analysis of the roles of c-myc, c-raf-1 and Rb in signal transduction, and will probably prove useful in studies involving other genes.

Abstract
The method for evaluating right ventricular and pulmonary artery systolic pressures by subtracting the systolic pressure gradient across the ventricular septal defect from the cuff systolic blood pressure is documented. To confirm the reliability and accuracy of this method, simultaneous continuous wave Doppler echocardiography and left and right cardiac catheterization were performed in 66 patients with congenital ventricular septal defects. The comparisons between the Doppler-derived right ventricular or pulmonary artery systolic pressures and those measured by catheterization yielded an excellent correlation (r = 0.969, y = 1.035x - 3.627, SEE = 8.2 mm Hg, p < 0.001 and r = 0.972, y = 1.012x - 2.904, SEE = 7.6 mm Hg, p < 0.001), respectively. There was a close agreement between the Doppler-derived right ventricular or pulmonary artery systolic pressures and those measured by catheters, and the differences between the two measurements did not differ significantly from zero. It is concluded that Doppler echocardiography offers a reliable and accurate method for noninvasive assessment of right ventricular and pulmonary artery systolic pressures in patients with ventricular septal defects.
