Abstract
Although tuberculous arthritis is currently uncommon in the United States, the hip joint is a common location. Tuberculous arthritis usually presents as a mild, slowly progressing process. It often involves a single joint. Radiological findings include osteopenia of the involved joint, soft tissue swelling, bone destruction without evidence of bone formation, and sequestrum formation. Several conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis. The detailed roentgenographic appearances and many of the differential diagnoses are included in this paper. Final diagnosis is made by positive culture results or finding the bacillus histologically.

Abstract
The adherence of Bordetella pertussis to ciliated cells and macrophages is critical to colonization and infection of the respiratory tract. Adherence to both types of cells involves the recognition of eukaryotic carbohydrates by the bacterial adhesin filamentous hemagglutinin (Fha). The carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of Fha is considered an important antigen for subcomponent vaccines to maximize the generation of antiadherence antibodies capable of protecting against colonization. For identification of the CRD of Fha, a bank of eight monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that mapped to four contiguous regions were tested for their ability to block Fha binding to lactosylceramide or to block bacterial binding to ciliated cells. Only MAb 12.5A9, which maps to amino acid residues 1141 to 1279, blocked both Fha binding to lactosylceramide and bacterial binding to ciliated cells. An 18-kDa polypeptide corresponding to this region was expressed in Escherichia coli. Cell lysates containing this protein bound to lactosylceramide in a manner identical to that of native Fha. Mutant strains of B. pertussis that contained an in-frame deletion of the coding sequence for this region produced a truncated Fha that showed negligible cross-reactivity with MAb 12.5A9. In an adherence assay, these mutant strains failed to bind efficiently to either ciliated cells or macrophages. The numbers of adherent bacteria for these strains were reduced to the number obtained with a nonadherent strain. We conclude that the region defined by residues 1141 to 1279 of Fha constitutes a CRD critical for bacterial adherence and represents a potential candidate for a subcomponent vaccine.

Abstract
It has been previously reported that, during denaturation of creatine kinase by guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) or urea [Tsou (1986), Trends Biochem. Sci. 11, 427-429], inactivation occurs before noticeable conformational change can be detected, and it is suggested that the conformation at the active site is more easily perturbed and hence more flexible than the molecule as a whole. In this study, the thiol and amino groups at or near the active site of creatine kinase are labelled with o-phthalaldehyde to form a fluorescent probe. Both the emission intensity and anisotropy decrease during denaturation indicating exposure of this probe and increased mobility of the active site. The above conformational changes take place together with enzyme inactivation at lower GdmCl concentrations than required to bring about intrinsic fluorescence changes of the enzyme. At the same GdmCl concentration, the rate of exposure of the probe is comparable with that of inactivation and is several orders of magnitude faster than that for the unfolding of the molecule as a whole.

Abstract
A 912 bp bovine cDNA fragment encoding bovine conglutinin was amplified by the RT-PCR technique. cDNA clones encoding the bovine conglutinin were isolated from a bovine liver cDNA library using a specific probe obtained from the PCR product. These cDNAs carry an insert of 1113 bp coding for a protein of 371 amino acid residues with a signal peptide of 20 residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of cDNA agrees with that determined by conventional amino acid sequence analysis. Two polyadenylation signal sequences were detected in the DNA sequence downstream of the 3' end of the gene. Southern blot analysis of total bovine genomic DNA indicated that there is only one copy of the gene encoding bovine conglutinin. Northern blot analysis of bovine tissues showed that conglutinin mRNA of about 1.5 kb is expressed in the liver and also slightly in the lung.

Abstract
An attempt was made to assign mouse lifespan-associated interstrain differences in DNA repair to a specific chromosomal region using a set of congenic mice. The sensitive 32P-postlabeling assay was employed to measure the removal of benzo[a]pyrene-induced DNA adducts in liver DNA of three different chromosome 4 congenic mouse strains: B6.C-H-15c, B6.C-H-16c, and B6.C-H-26c and the two parental strains, C57B1/6 and BALB/c. The removal of the one main adduct detected, trans-(7R)-N2-[10-(7 beta,8 alpha,9 alpha-trihydroxy)-7,8,9,10- tetrahydrobenzo(a)-pyrene]-yl-deoxyguanosine (BPDE-N2-dG), in liver DNA of C57Bl/6 and BALB/c mice between one and three days after treatment, was approximately 86% and 57%, respectively. The percentage removal of BPDE-N2-dG in two of the three congenic mouse strains, B6.C-H-16c and B6.C-H-26c, resembled that found in BALB/c, whereas the third strain, B6.C-H-15c, removed about the same amount as C57B1/6, i.e., approximately 88% of BPDE-N2-dG between one and three days after treatment. The usefulness of congenic mouse strains for identifying genes putatively involved in aging and/or disease susceptibility is discussed.

Abstract
Loss of cell cycle control and acquisition of chromosomal rearrangements such as gene amplification often occur during tumor progression, suggesting that they may be correlated. We show here that the wild-type p53 allele is lost when fibroblasts from patients with the Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) are passaged in vitro. Normal and LFS cells containing wild-type p53 arrested in G1 when challenged with the uridine biosynthesis inhibitor PALA and did not undergo PALA-selected gene amplification. The converse occurred in cells lacking wild-type p53 expression. Expression of wild-type p53 in transformants of immortal and tumor cells containing mutant p53 alleles restored G1 control and reduced the frequency of gene amplification to undetectable levels. These studies reveal that p53 contributes to a metabolically regulated G1 check-point, and they provide a model for understanding how abnormal cell cycle progression leads to the genetic rearrangements involved in tumor progression.

Abstract
Dgp1, a circular 4.4-kb plasmid found in the nuclei of Dictyostelium giganteum strain DG61, is a member of the same plasmid family as plasmids Ddp2 and pDG1. Dgp1 has sequence similarity to a conserved region of the Ddp2 and pDG1 open reading frames. As with Ddp2 and pDG1, a single large RNA is transcribed from Dgp1. This 3.3-kb transcript is present at about 350 copies per vegetative cell. The transcript abundance decreased about 10-fold in early aggregation and continued at this lower level until late culmination when it returned to the level seen in vegetative cells. Dgp1 has a repeat of several hundred base pairs in a location, relative to the transcribed region, similar to the inverted repeats found in Ddp2 and pDG1. Dgp1 cannot be maintained as a plasmid in Dictyostelium discoideum AX4 cells, suggesting that Dgp1 carries species-specific maintenance elements.

Abstract
The effects of germanium oxide on the genotoxicity of cadmium chloride were investigated. The incorporation of [3H]thymidine into testicular DNA was inhibited in mice injected ip with 1.35, 1.80 or 2.70 mg cadmium chloride/kg body weight. Germanium oxide (0.05 or 0.1 mg/kg body weight, sc) alone did not affect [3H]thymidine incorporation into testicular DNA but 0.05 mg germanium oxide/kg antagonized the inhibitory effect of 1.35 mg cadmium chloride/kg. However, combinations of the other doses of the two compounds did not show statistically significant antagonistic effects. Cadmium chloride significantly increased the frequencies of micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes, and of chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of mice treated with 0.7, 1.4 or 2.7 mg/kg body weight, in a dose-related manner. These effects were inhibited by germanium oxide at doses of 0.1 or 0.5 mg/kg body weight, although germanium oxide alone did not affect micronucleus formation or the chromosome aberration rate. Cadmium chloride produced a dose-related increase in the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in cultured human lymphocytes at concentrations of 5, 10 or 50 mumol. This effect was also inhibited by germanium oxide (0.05 or 0.1 mumol), although germanium oxide alone had no effect. There was a dose-related increase in the frequency of sperms with abnormal head morphologies from mice treated with 0.6, 1.1 or 2.2 mg cadmium chloride/kg body weight and this too was antagonized by the injection of germanium oxide (0.1 or 0.5 mg/kg body weight). Germanium oxide alone did not affect the frequency of sperm-head abnormalities.

Abstract
An argument is presented which suggests that hydrolysis of the vinyl ether group of 1-methoxycyclooctene may occur by reversible proton transfer from a catalyzing acid to the β-carbon atom of the substrate, instead of by the conventional reaction mechanism in which this proton transfer is rate determining and not reversible. Hydrolysis of this substrate is then examined by measuring rates of reaction in dilute aqueous solutions of strong mineral acids (perchloric and hydrochloric) as well as in buffer solutions of seven carboxylic acids, biphosphate ion, and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol. General acid catalysis is observed and a Brønsted relation with the exponent α = 0.73 is constructed. That, plus the isotope effects kH/kD = 2.9 and 6.0 for catalysis by hydronium ion and acetic acid respectively, as well as the lack of deuterium incorporation into the substrate when the reaction is carried out in D2O with D2PO4−/DPO42− buffer at pD = 8, show that carbon protonation of the substrate is not reversible and that the conventional reaction mechanism is operative. Key words: 1-methoxycyclooctene, vinyl ether hydrolysis, rate-determining proton transfer, Brønsted relation, solvent isotope effect.

Abstract
When stimulation of DLF at cervical cord, a train of evoked potentials are recorded with a microelectrode at lumber level in rat. The longer slow positive potential wave, latency 7.22 +/- 1.41 ms, peak time 15 +/ 12 +/- 5.58 ms, duration 93 +/ 92 +/- 9.06 ms, is called DLF-FP. The negative center of the isopotential map of DLF-FP is located at 1.0-1.3 mm below the dorsal surface nearly in coincidence with that of the P1-FP evoked by the sural nerve stimulation. The amplitude of DLF-FP was decreased by picrotoxin and increased by strychnine. Both summation and inhibition can be observed between the potentials evoked by stimulation of the sural nerve and DLF. The results mentioned above show that DLF-FP is the reflection of primary afferent depolarization probably by the same spinal circuit underlying P1-FP.

Abstract
In order to determine a suitable indicator for estimating the exposure levels of the dietary carcinogen 2-amino-6-methyldipyrido[1,2-a:3',2'-d]imidazole (Glu-P-1), a carcinogenic glutamic acid pyrolysis product, the levels of Glu-P-1 bound to blood components were monitored for 8 weeks by a high-performance liquid chromatography method after the dietary carcinogen was administered as single oral doses (0.2-50 mg) to rabbits. In all rabbits dosed with Glu-P-1, Glu-P-1 in erythrocytes was detectable even on day 42 after administration. Glu-P-1 in plasma disappeared faster than did Glu-P-1 in erythrocytes. Glu-P-1 levels in rabbit hemoglobin were linearly related to administered doses at all points of time investigated. The results suggest that Glu-P-1 covalently bound to hemoglobin is very suitable for monitoring long-term exposure levels.
