Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii strains differ dramatically in virulence despite being genetically very similar. Genetic mapping revealed two closely adjacent quantitative trait loci on parasite chromosome VIIa that control the extreme virulence of the type I lineage. Positional cloning identified the candidate virulence gene ROP18, a highly polymorphic serine-threonine kinase that was secreted into the host cell during parasite invasion. Transfection of the virulent ROP18 allele into a nonpathogenic type III strain increased growth and enhanced mortality by 4 to 5 logs. These attributes of ROP18 required kinase activity, which revealed that secretion of effectors is a major component of parasite virulence.

Abstract
A new WRKY gene was cloned from Brassica chinensis by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length cDNA of BcWRKY was 1175 bp long and contained a 924 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative W-box-binding protein of 308 amino acids. The predicted BcWRKY protein was found to have a potential bipartite nuclear localization sequence (NLS-BP) in its N-terminal region followed by a WRKY DNA-binding domain. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that BcWRKY resembled other WRKY domain-containing proteins from Arabidopsis (AtWRKY18), tobacco (WIZZ), parsley (PcWRKY4) and wild oat (ABF2). Expression of the BcWRKY gene could be induced by salicylic acid (SA), and influenced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato strain DC3000 infection and wounding treatment. Our study implies that BcWRKY might have similar functions possessed by other WRKY genes such as inducing the expression of some defense-related genes and increasing plant's disease resistance ability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Eyes with burnt out disciform scars secondary to age related macular degeneration (AMD) are regarded as visually stable. The aim of this study is to report the subsequent development of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) around the scars and discuss the possible basis. METHODS 20 eyes from 18 patients were observed to develop atrophy around choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). A method of measuring expansion of the atrophy over time is described using the Topcon Imagenet 2000 system. An additional 10 clinicopathological examples were reviewed. RESULTS Clinically CNV became surrounded initially by a ring of pallor that progressed to an expanding band of atrophy of the RPE. It developed most rapidly in the first 3 years after CNV became quiescent but then continued to expand slowly to more than three times the size of the scar. Histopathological specimens showed large choroidal vessels entering the scars directly and a reduced number of small choroidal vessels beneath and around the scar CONCLUSIONS Disciform scars may become surrounded by an expanding band of atrophy of the RPE, postulated to result from remodelling of the choroidal circulation. The ongoing enlargement of the resulting scotoma may need to be considered when planning management and assessing treatment outcomes.

Abstract
We carried out a blinded prospective randomised controlled trial comparing 2-octylcyanoacrylate (OCA), subcuticular suture (monocryl) and skin staples for skin closure following total hip and total knee arthroplasty. We included 102 hip replacements and 85 of the knee. OCA was associated with less wound discharge in the first 24 hours for both the hip and the knee. However, with total knee replacement there was a trend for a more prolonged wound discharge with OCA. With total hip replacement there was no significant difference between the groups for either early or late complications. Closure of the wound with skin staples was significantly faster than with OCA or suture. There was no significant difference in the length of stay in hospital, Hollander wound evaluation score (cosmesis) or patient satisfaction between the groups at six weeks for either hips or knees. We consider that skin staples are the skin closure of choice for both hip and knee replacements.

Abstract
In urethane-anesthetized female rats, a branch of the hypogastric nerve equivalent to the vas deferens nerve in males was shown anatomically and electrophysiologically to supply the uterine horns and we have consequently termed this the uterine nerve. Administration of p-chloroamphetamine i.v. elicited patterned bursting uterine nerve activity responses together with contractions of the uterine horns and musculature of the vaginal wall. These responses are qualitatively similar to ejaculatory responses observed following p-chloroamphetamine administration to anesthetized male rats and the urethrogenital reflex in females, suggesting they represent responses occurring during sexual processes. This response to p-chloroamphetamine was still present after complete transection of the spinal cord at T8. These data indicate that common neurophysiological and pharmacological mechanisms regulate genital reflexes at the lumbosacral spinal level in both the female and the male rat.

Abstract
In urethane-anesthetized male rats, a branch of the hypogastric nerve was shown, anatomically and electrophysiologically, to supply the vas deferens. Recordings from this nerve revealed a low level of tonic activity, which was predominantly efferent motor activity. Administration of p-chloroamphetamine i.v., elicited a rhythmic burst of neuronal activity, coherent with rhythmic pressure increases in the vas deferens and contractions of the bulbospongiosus muscles, which together comprise ejaculation. This response to p-chloroamphetamine was still present after complete transection of the spinal cord at T8-T9. These data indicate that p-chloroamphetamine is capable of activating the spinal neuronal circuits that generate the pattern of autonomic and somatic responses similar to those of sexual climax. Furthermore based on the best documented action of p-chloroamphetamine, the results suggest that the excitability of the pattern generator is regulated by serotonergic, dopaminergic or noradrenergic receptors in the lumbosacral spinal cord. We conclude this animal model will enable robust studies of the pharmacology and physiology of central neural mechanisms involved in ejaculation and sexual climax.

Abstract
A 50 year old woman with a previous diagnosis of epilepsy presented to the emergency department with a generalised seizure. Her admission ECG showed QT prolongation secondary to bradycardia and a subsequent seizure in the department demonstrated that these events were secondary to cerebral hypoperfusion during episodes of torsades de pointes. This case illustrates how long QT syndrome can masquerade convincingly as epilepsy, delaying treatment and exposing the patient to a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Careful ECG analysis is recommended for all patients presenting with seizures.

Abstract
A novel Pto-like gene (designated as SsPto) is cloned from yellow-fruit nightshade (Solanum surattense). The full-length cDNA of SsPto is 1331 bp long with an open reading frame of 960 bp encoding a polypeptide of 320 amino acid residues. The deduced SsPto protein has a calculated molecular weight of 36.21 kDa with an isoelectric point of 6.18. Multiple sequence alignment shows that SsPto protein shares 71.4% and 71.6% identities to Pto proteins from Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium and L. hirsutum respectively. Genomic Southern blot analysis indicates the presence of a small family of SsPto in the S. surattense genome. SsPto is found to be constitutively expressed in the S. surattense plant with the highest expression in stems. However, under induction by TMV for 6 days, SsPto expresses the highest in roots. Further expression analysis reveals that the signaling components of defense/stress pathways, such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), gibberellic acid (GA3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), up-regulate the SsPto transcript levels over the control. Cold treatment, nevertheless, has no significant effect on SsPto expression whereas SsPto expression is down-regulated by dark treatment. Our findings suggest that this novel stress- and pathogen-inducible SsPto from S. surattense may participate not only in the defense/stress responsive pathways, but also in diverse processes of plant's growth and development.

Abstract
Cotton wilt defense reaction is a complicated continuous process and involves a battery of genes. In this study, we adopted suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique to isolate differentially expressed ESTs from Gossypium barbadense variety 7124 during Verticillium wilt defense process. An array of 1165 clones from the subtractive library has been screened with reverse northern blotting, of which 131 ESTs were considered as over-expressed and 16 ESTs were down-regulated. Sequence analysis and blast search showed that 83 ESTs were homologous to 45 unique sequences in the databases. Among all these differentially expressed ESTs, at least three kinds of genes were characterized. The majority of ESTs with deduced identity to aerobic metabolism enzymes strongly expressed in the infection process. Likewise, ESTs similar to those reported for pathogen-related protein genes were also picked out in this study. These ESTs in combination with other kinase-like genes and a defensin-like EST constituted an assembly of genes responded during pathogens' infection. These results imply that sea-island cotton undergoes strong oxidative stress and results in a series of defense responses when attacked by V. dahliae. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation of global ESTs during sea-island cotton defense reaction.

Abstract
Cerebellar granular neurons are the most abundant neuronal type in the CNS. Their number and experimental accessibility have made these neurons a valuable model for investigating mechanisms of cell proliferation and differentiation in the CNS. Proliferation of granular neurons is regulated, at least in part, by the secreted protein Sonic Hedgehog, whereas induction and differentiation both appear to be controlled by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. Given the role of BMPs in granular cell differentiation, we postulated that BMP receptors (BMPRs) would be expressed on cerebellar granular neurons and that signaling through these receptors is required for normal differentiation. We found that both BMPRIA and BMPRIB are expressed on granular neuron precursors and on mature granular neurons in the developing cerebellum. To determine if these receptors are sufficient for granular cell induction and/or differentiation in vivo, we introduced a constitutively active BMPRIA construct into the developing cerebellum. The resulting cerebelli showed a simplified folial pattern and ectopic collections of small cells located deep in the cerebellar white matter. Phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the ectopic cells are granular neurons. From these data we suggest that signaling through the type I BMPRs occurs during normal cerebellar development and ectopic activation of this pathway affects normal granular neuron development. Furthermore, the similarity of the cerebellar anomalies arising from perturbed BMPR signaling to human cerebellar malformations suggests that dysregulation of BMP signaling may play a pathogenic role in some human cerebellar abnormalities.

Abstract
Metabolism of arachidonic acid through cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, or P450 epoxygenase pathways leads to the formation of various bioactive eicosanoids. In this review, we discuss alterations in expression pattern of eicosanoid-generating enzymes found during prostate tumor progression and expound upon their involvement in tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, motility, and tumor angiogenesis. The expression of cyclooxygenase-2, 12-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase-1 are up-regulated during prostate cancer progression. It has been demonstrated that inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2, 5-lipoxygenase and 12-lipoxygenase cause tumor cell apoptosis, reduce tumor cell motility and invasiveness, or decrease tumor angiogenesis and growth. The eicosanoid product of 12-lipoxygenase, 12(S)-hydroeicosatetraenoic acid, is found to activate Erkl/2 kinases in LNCaP cells and PKCalpha in rat prostate AT2.1 tumor cells. Overexpression of 12-lipoxygenase and 15-lipoxygenase-1 in prostate cancer cells stimulate prostate tumor angiogenesis and growth, suggesting a facilitative role for 12-lipoxygenase and 15-lipoxygenase-1 in prostate tumor progression. The expression of 15-lipoxygenase-2 is found frequently to be lost during the initiation and progression of prostate tumors. 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, the product of 15-lipoxygenase-2, inhibits proliferation and causes apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells, suggesting an inhibitory role for 15-lipoxygenase-2 in prostate tumor progression. The regulation of prostate cancer progression by eicosanoids, in either positive or negative ways, provides an exciting possibility for management of this disease.

Abstract
Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is often intermittent and the bleeding source may be difficult to locate, resulting in delay of potentially life-saving treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical utility of 99mTc labelled red blood cell imaging and [99mTc]pertechnetate (Meckel's scan) imaging in a series of 137 patients admitted over a 5 year period to hospital for management of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Of the 137 patients, 70 had positive 99mTc red blood cell studies. Eleven of 24 patients who had imaging performed beyond 3 h had positive scans that would otherwise have been missed. Only 47 patients had a definite final diagnosis at the time of hospital discharge, of which six were negative on 99mTc red blood cell imaging. The correct site of bleeding was localized in seven of 21 patients with foregut bleeding, and 15 of 20 patients with colonic bleeding. Endoscopy yielded a diagnosis in 13 of the 47 patients (28%). Eleven patients had Meckel's scans but all were negative. Angiography was diagnostic in one of 17 patients studied. 99mTc red blood cell imaging is a useful test in the management of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Imaging beyond 3 h may further improve the bleeding detection rate. This test, however, may be an unreliable means of localization of bleeding, particularly in the foregut.

Abstract
Wnt-1, the vertebrate counterpart of the Drosophila wingless gene, plays an important role in the early morphogenesis of neural tissues. In this report, we have shown that overexpression of Wnt-1 can direct embryonic carcinoma P19 cells to differentiate into neuron-like cells in the absence of retinoic acid. Immunocytochemistry showed that these cells expressed neuronal markers, such as the neurofilament (NF) and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), but failed to express the glial cell marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). RT-PCR revealed that two basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) genes, Mash-1 and Ngn-1, were up-regulated during the differentiation stage of Wnt-1-overexpressing P19 cells. These results suggest that the Wnt-1 gene promotes neuronal differentiation and inhibits gliogenesis during the neural differentiation of P19 cells, and that neural bHLH genes might be involved in this process.
