This method uses two independent selectable markers in successive rounds of gene targeting to replace both alleles of an endogenous gene. We developed an improved hygromycin B-resistance cassette encoding hygromycin phosphotransferase (HYG) for use as a selectable marker for Leishmania. HYG-containing vectors functioned equivalently to those containing the neomycin phosphotransferase (NEO) cassette previously used for extrachromosomal transformation or gene targeting. Drug resistances conferred by the NEO and HYG markers were independent, allowing simultaneous selection for both markers. A HYG targeting vector was utilized to replace the single dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) gene remaining in a line heterozygous for a NEO replacement at the dhfr-ts locus (+/neo), with a targeting efficiency comparable to that seen with wild-type recipients. The resultant dhfr-ts- line (hyg/neo) was auxotrophic for thymidine. The double targeted replacement method will enable functional genetic testing in a variety of asexual diploids, including cultured mammalian cells and fungi such as Candida albicans. Additionally, it may be possible to use Leishmania bearing conditionally auxotrophic gene replacements as safe, improved live vaccines for leishmaniasis.

A population-based study was carried out between 1996 and 1999, based on an age-stratified random sample of 1,340 women with normal cytologic diagnoses from 33 municipalities of Morelos State, Mexico. The prevalence of cervical HPV DNA was determined by reverse line blot strip assay to detect 17 cancer-associated and 10 non-cancer-associated HPV types. Two peaks of HPV DNA prevalence were observed. A first peak of 16.7% was observed in the age group under 25 years. HPV DNA prevalence declined to 3.7% in the age group 35-44 years, then increased progressively to 23% among women 65 years and older. Cancer-associated HPV types were the most common in all age groups; non-cancer-associated HPV types were rare in the young and became more common linearly with age. Twenty-four types of HPV were detected; HPV 16, HPV 53, HPV 31 and HPV 18 were the most common, but none was present in more than 1.7% of subjects. The main determinant of infection with both cancer-associated and non-cancer-associated HPV types was the number of sexual partners in all age groups. Less-educated women were at an increased risk of infection with cancer-associated but not with non-cancer-associated HPV types; low socioeconomic status was associated with detection of non-cancer-associated HPV types. Among young women an increasing number of pregnancies was associated with lower HPV detection and among older women low socioeconomic status was related to increased HPV detection, particularly for the age group 35-54 years. Among women with cancer-associated HPV types, there was a higher intensity of polymerase chain reaction signal in younger than in older age groups (p < 0.001). We present additional evidence for the sexually transmitted nature of HPV infection, regardless of age group and HPV type. We confirm previous findings of a second peak of high-risk HPV infections in postmenopausal women, in this case with a clear predominance of cancer-associated HPV types. In populations with this pattern, which can be related to reactivation of latent HPV infections or high previous exposure in older women, screening with HPV testing can have a reduced specificity among older women if proper cut-off points for HPV positivity are not used. Longitudinal studies of immune responses to HPV infection in different age groups are warranted.

Many molecules likely to have a role during the infectious cycle have been identified, yet proof of their function is often lacking. We describe studies in Leishmania major of homologous gene targeting, a powerful method for testing gene function in other organisms. Following introduction of a construct containing dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (dhfr-ts) flanking sequences fused to neomycin phosphotransferase, 45% of the colonies contained the planned homologous replacement; this frequency rose to nearly 100% in transfections using low amounts of DNA. Integrative transfection in Leishmania thus resembles that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in giving predominantly homologous events. To facilitate studies of folate metabolism and chemotherapy the sole dhfr-ts copy in a heterozygous deletion line was replaced, yielding lines that were functionally DHFR-TS-. Although most genes are diploid in trypanosomatids, methods exploiting the high frequency of homologous recombination should permit complete replacement of any parasite gene.

Because temperature has never been shown to induce sensations of taste, it has been assumed that thermal stimulation in the gustatory system is somehow nulled. Here we show that heating or cooling small areas of the tongue can in fact cause sensations of taste: warming the anterior edge of the tongue (chorda tympani nerve) from a cold temperature can evoke sweetness, whereas cooling can evoke sourness and/or saltiness. Thermal taste also occurs on the rear of the tongue (glossopharyngeal nerve), but the relationship between temperature and taste is different there than on the front of the tongue. These observations indicate the human gustatory system contains several different types of thermally sensitive neurons that normally contribute to the sensory code for taste.

Based on experimental data methods are reviewed to investigate interfacial properties of artificial pulmonary layers and to explain the behavior and interfacial structures of the main components during compression and expansion of the layers observed by epifluorescence and scanning force microscopy. Terms like over-compression, collapse, and formation of the surfactant reservoir are discussed. Consequences for the viscoelastic surface rheological behavior of such layers are elucidated by surface pressure relaxation and harmonic oscillation experiments. Based on a generalized Volmer isotherm the interfacial phase transition is discussed for the hydrophobic surfactant proteins, SP-B and SP-C, as well as for the mixtures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) with these proteins. The behavior of the layers depends on both the oligomerisation state and the secondary structure of the hydrophobic surfactant proteins, which are controlled by the preparation of the proteins. An example for the surface properties of bronchoalveolar porcine lung washings of uninjured, injured, and Curosurf treated lavage is discussed in the light of surface behavior. An outlook summarizes the present knowledge and the main future development in this field of surface science.

This was studied in an animal model by implanting ER- mouse mammary epithelial tumor cells (CSMLO) in syngeneic A-J mice. (i) Local administration of Go6976 an inhibitor of protein kinases C alpha and beta inhibited growth of tumors and caused extensive necrotic degeneration and regression of the tumors without causing any microscopically detectable damage to the vital organs liver and lung. (ii) Stable expression of dominant-negative mutants of the beta subunit (dnIkkbeta) of the inhibitory kappa B (IkappaB) kinase (dnIkk) that selectively blocked activation of NF-kappaB caused loss of tumorigenic potential of CSMLO cells. Stable expression of dnIkkbeta also blocked phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced activation of NF-kappaB and overexpression of cyclin D1, concomitantly with the loss or reduced tumorigenic potential of these cells. Thus, results from in vivo and in vitro experiments strongly suggest the involvement of NF-kappaB in ER- mammary epithelial cell-mediated tumorigenesis. We propose that blocking NF-kappaB activation not only inhibits cell proliferation, but also antagonizes the antiapoptotic role of this transcription factor in ER- breast cancer cells. Thus, NF-kappaB is a potential target for therapy of EGFR family receptor-overexpressing ER- breast cancers.

Melatonin versus vitamin E as protective treatment against oxidative stress after extra-hepatic bile duct ligation in rats. J Pineal Res 2001;31:138-44.

Cholestasis was achieved in adult male Wistar rats by double ligature and section of the extra-hepatic biliary duct. Hepatic and plasma oxidative stress markers were evaluated by changes in the amount of lipid peroxides, measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in plasma and homogenates of hepatic tissue. Serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (AP), and gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase (GGT) were used to evaluate the severity of cholestasis, and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were used to evaluate the hepatic injury. Both vitamin E and melatonin were administrated 1 day before and 7 days after bile duct ligation. Acute ligation of the bile duct was accompanied by a significant increased in MDA and a decrease in GSH levels in both plasma and liver, as well as a significant reduction in antioxidant enzymes activities. The overall analysis of both treatments showed that melatonin (500 microg/kg daily) offered significantly better protection against cholestasis and a superior protective effect on hepatic injury than did vitamin E (15 mg/kg daily). Although vitamin E treatment resulted in a reduction of parameters of oxidative stress, the results were significantly better after a much lower daily dose of melatonin. Moreover, melatonin treatment was associated with a significant recovery of antioxidative enzymes. In conclusion, the present paper demonstrates a correlation between the intensity of biliary tract obstruction and increased free radical generation, as well as a direct correlation between the level of oxidative stress and the biochemical markers of liver injury. Melatonin (at a much lower dose than vitamin E) was much more efficient than vitamin E in reducing the negative parameters of cholestasis, the degree of oxidative stress and provided a significantly greater hepatoprotective effect against the liver injury secondary to the acute ligation of the biliary duct.

Anthropometric measurements were taken, including weight, height, and circumferences (waist, hip, thigh). Educational level, activity scores and information on smoking habits were obtained from a questionnaire. Higher educational level was associated with lower body mass index, waist/hip ratio, and waist/thigh ratio. The sports activity score was negatively related to waist/hip ratio (beta +/- standard error of the mean (SEM): -0.009 +/- 0.003) and waist/thigh ratio (-0.041 +/- 0.007), and this could be attributed to a negative relation with waist circumference and a positive relation to thigh circumference. Smoking habits were not related to body mass index but heavy smokers had larger waist circumferences (difference +/- SEM: 1.4 +/- 0.5 cm) as well as higher waist/hip ratios (difference +/- SEM: 0.014 +/- 0.005) and waist/thigh ratios (0.043 +/- 0.013) compared with men who never smoked. These associations between activity scores and smoking habits and fat distribution remained after adjustment for each other and for body mass index and educational level. The authors conclude that physical activity and smoking are independently related to indicators of fat distribution and may be potential confounders in the relations between fat distribution, risk factors, and disease.

METHODS Fifty patients with primary knee OA were studied. Clinical assessment of both knees was performed by the same rheumatologist who recorded a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain (VASP). All patients underwent a US examination of their knees by a second blinded rheumatologist. Weight-bearing anteroposterior and lateral knee radiographs were read by a third blinded rheumatologist who assessed the Kellgren and Lawrence (K-L) grade, the femorotibial (FT) space width and the presence of patello-femoral degenerative signs. RESULTS Forty patients had bilateral symptomatic knee OA and 10 unilateral symptomatic OA. All knees showed radiographic FT degenerative signs. US findings in symptomatic knees were effusion (47%), protrusion of the medial meniscus (MMP) with displacement of the medial collateral ligament (MCLD) (61%) and Baker's cyst (22%). US effusion, MMP and MCLD were associated with a significantly higher VAS score for pain (P<0.05). MMP was associated with medial FT space width (P<0.05). Patients who had a difference between VAS score for pain in each knee greater than 30 (28 patients) showed significantly more unilateral effusion, MMP, MCLD and worse K-L grade in the more symptomatic knee than those with a difference lesser than 30 (22 patients). CONCLUSION Knee effusion and MMP with MCLD are associated with pain in knee OA. In addition, MMP may contribute to the radiographic medial FT space narrowing. We propose US for assessing periarticular and intraarticular abnormalities involved in the pathophysiology of knee OA.

STUDY DESIGN Color flow Doppler ultrasonography was used to determine systolic, diastolic, and mean velocity, as well as the resistance index in the central retinal and ophthalmic arteries in 10 nonpregnant women, 10 third-trimester pregnant women, and 10 hypoestrogenic postmenopausal women. The postmenopausal patients were again studied 2 months after starting daily oral therapy with 2 mg of micronized 17 beta-estradiol. RESULTS Pregnant women had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher diastolic blood velocity (4.2 +/- 0.8 cm/sec) and a lower resistance index (0.56 +/- 0.05) in the central retinal artery, when compared with nonpregnant women (diastolic velocity 2.8 +/- 0.8 cm/sec, resistance index 0.68 +/- 0.1), and hypoestrogenic postmenopausal women (diastolic velocity 2.6 +/- 0.9 cm/sec, resistance index 0.73 +/- 0.08). Significant differences were not seen in the ophthalmic artery. In the postmenopausal patients estradiol therapy was associated with an increase in diastolic velocity (2.6 +/- 0.9 cm/sec vs 4.1 +/- 1.6 cm/sec) and a decrease in the resistance index (0.73 +/- 0.08 vs 0.66 +/- 0.1) in the central retinal artery but not in the ophthalmic artery. CONCLUSIONS The blood velocity and vascular resistance in the cerebral microcirculation appear to change according to the phases of a woman's reproductive life. This may be related, in part, to estrogen levels, because estradiol vasodilates small-diameter cerebral vessels in hypoestrogenic postmenopausal women.

Three organic solvents have been selected: methanol (MetOH), acetonitrile (ACN) and trifluoroethanol (TFE). Porcine SP-B showed very similar calculated secondary structure when dissolved in methanol, 60% ACN or 70% TFE and reconstituted in lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) micelles or dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles, as deduced from circular dichroism studies. SP-B was calculated to possess around 45% of alpha-helix in all these systems. The fluorescence emission spectrum of SP-B has been also characterized in aqueous solvents and lipids. It always showed a splitting of the tryptophan contribution into two components with different emission maxima. SP-C had a very different structure in 80% ACN or 70% TFE. While alpha-helix was the main secondary structure of SP-C in ACN/water mixtures--around 50%--, it had almost exclusively beta-structure when dissolved in 70% TFE. The CD spectrum of SP-C in TFE showed dependence on the protein concentration, suggesting that protein-protein interactions could be important in this beta-conformation. SP-C reconstituted in LPC micelles or DPPC vesicles had a CD spectrum qualitatively similar to that one in aqueous ACN, with a dominant alpha-helical structure. The alpha-helical content of SP-C in micelles of LPC and vesicles of DPPC, 60 and 70%, respectively, was calculated to be higher than the alpha-helical content of the protein dissolved in any aqueous organic solvent.

Our objective was to determine the influence of genetic factors on their susceptibility. We carried out a case-control association study genotyping 91 patients with confirmed severe pneumonia from A/H1N1 infection and 98 exposed but asymptomatic household contacts, using the HumanCVD BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Four risk single-nucleotide polymorphisms were significantly (p<0.0001) associated with severe pneumonia: rs1801274 (Fc fragment of immunoglobulin G, low-affinity IIA, receptor (FCGR2A) gene, chromosome 1; OR 2.68, 95% CI 1.69-4.25); rs9856661 (gene unknown, chromosome 3; OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.64-4.18); rs8070740 (RPA interacting protein (RPAIN) gene, chromosome 17; OR 2.67, 95% CI 1.63-4.39); and rs3786054 (complement component 1, q subcomponent binding protein (C1QBP) gene, chromosome 17; OR 3.13, 95% CI 1.89-5.17). All SNP associations remained significant after adjustment for sex and comorbidities. The SNPs on chromosome 17 were in linkage disequilibrium. These findings revealed that gene polymorphisms located in chromosomes 1 and 17 might influence susceptibility to development of severe pneumonia in A/H1N1 infection. Two of these SNPs are mapped within genes (FCGR2A, C1QBP) involved in the handling of immune complexes and complement activation, respectively, suggesting that these genes may confer risk due to increased activation of host immunity.

This is demonstrated with a new class of ionophores that incorporates aminochromenone moieties linked through urea spacers to different scaffolds that preorganize the ionophore binding cleft into tripodal topologies. Tris(2-aminoethylamine) and cis-1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)cyclohexane were employed as the scaffolds. The two differ in their rigidity and in the size of ionophore cavity that they create. The electrodes based on the ionophore that incorporates the tris(2-aminoethylamine) scaffold show anti-Hofmeister behavior with an improved selectivity for sulfate. In contrast, the ionophore with the cis-1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)cyclohexane scaffold exhibits a more Hofmeister-like response.

We evaluated the association of these ligands/receptors on B-cell subsets according to clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods BAFF and APRIL serum concentrations were measured in 30 SLE patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The BAFF-R, TACI and BCMA expression was analyzed on each B cell subset (CD19 + CD27-CD38–/ + naïve; CD19 + CD27 + CD38–/ + memory; CD19 + CD27-CD38 + + immature and CD19 + CD27 + CD38 + + plasma cells) by flow cytometry, and compared among patients with different clinical manifestations as well as healthy controls (HCs). Results Serum BAFF and APRIL levels were high in SLE patients and correlated with the Mex-SLEDAI disease activity index ( r = 0.584; p = 0.001 and r = 0.456; p = 0.011, respectively). The SLE patients showed an increased proportion of memory and plasma B cells ( p < 0.05). BAFF-R, TACI and BCMA expression in SLE patients was decreased in almost all B cell subsets compared to HCs ( p < 0.05). A lower BCMA expression was associated with severe disease activity, glomerulonephritis, serositis and hemolytic anemia ( p < 0.01). BCMA expression showed a negative correlation with Mex-SLEDAI score ( r = –0.494, p = 0.006). Conclusions Decreased BCMA expression on peripheral B cells according to severe disease activity suggests that BCMA plays an important regulating role in B-cell hyperactivity and immune tolerance homeostasis in SLE patients.

In contrast to Type II HBEC, which express basal epithelial cell phenotypes, Type I HBEC are deficient in gap junctional intercellular communication and are capable of anchorage-independent growth and of expressing luminal epithelial cell markers, estrogen receptors, and stem cell characteristics (i.e. the ability to differentiate into other cell types and to form budding/ductal organoids on Matrigel). A comparative study of these two types of cells has revealed a high susceptibility of Type I HBEC to immortalization by SV40 large T antigen, although both types of cells are equally capable of acquiring an extended life span (bypassing senescence) after transfection with SV40. The immortalization was accompanied by elevation of a low level of telomerase activity in the parental cells after mid-passage ( approximately 60 cumulative population doubling levels). Thus HBEC do have a low level of telomerase activity, and Type I HBEC with stem cell characteristics are more susceptible to telomerase activation and immortalization, a mechanism which might qualify them as target cells for breast carcinogenesis. The immortalized Type I HBEC can be converted to highly tumorigenic cells by further treatment with X rays (2 Gy x 2) and transfection with a mutated ERBB2 (also known as NEU) oncogene, resulting in the expression of p185(ERBB2) which is tyrosine phosphorylated.

However, methodological limitations have hindered the evaluation of the epidemiological relationship between cysticercosis and epilepsy at the community level. METHODS We used the WHO protocol for epidemiological evaluation of neurological disorders to conduct a door-to-door survey among 2723 residents of San Pablo del Lago, an Ecuadorean rural community in which T. solium taeniasis/cysticercosis was known to be endemic. The WHO protocol was complemented by neuroimaging and immunological tests to confirm the diagnosis of this infection. RESULTS In all 31 people suffering from active epilepsy were detected (prevalence 11.4 per 1000, 95% CI:7.7-15.4); 26 agreed to undergo a computer tomography (CT) examination, and 28 agreed to have blood drawn for serodiagnosis. Fourteen of the 26 (53.8%) had CT changes compatible with NCC and six of the 28 (21.4%) tested positive in the enzyme-linked immunoelectro-transfer blot (EITB) assay. In a seizure-free random sample of this population, 17 of 118 (144 per 1000) subjects examined by CT and 10 out of 96 (104 per 1000) examined by EITB had evidence of this infection. The differences between the epilepsy group and the random sample of the population were statistically significant (OR = 6.93, 95% CI: 2.7-17.5, P < 0.001) for CT diagnosis, but not for EITB results (OR = 2.75, 95% CI: 0.8-7.1, P > 0.12, NS). CONCLUSIONS These findings confirm that T. solium NCC is a significant cause of epilepsy at the community level in Andean villages of Ecuador. It is important to initiate effective public health interventions to eliminate this infection, which may be responsible for at least half of the cases of reported epilepsy in Ecuador.

Lesions were generally few in number, small, always papular, and non-ulcerative, even when present for several years. Patients with skin lesions seemed otherwise healthy and were well nourished. Montenegro skin tests with Leishmania mexicana and L major antigens were positive in 10 of 17 patients tested, and lesions from 9 patients were positive by culture. Since the summer of 1988, cases of atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis continue to occur on the island (8) as well as on the mainland of southern Honduras (23). A total of 9 parasite isolates from skin lesions, 4 from bone marrow of patients with kala-azar, and 2 from sandflies were identified as L donovani chagasi and were indistinguishable from one another by isoenzyme analysis.

Alterations in NO mediated responses have been described in diabetic animals. The presence of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) reflects the potential for NO synthesis and is found in neurons in the myenteric plexus. The aim of this study was to determine changes in nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression in the myenteric plexus of the gastrointestinal tract of diabetic rats at three months of streptozotocin-induced diabetes, compared to age matched controls, using immunohistochemistry. Diabetic animals showed a decrease in NOS expression in the antrum, with 59.1 +/- 7.3% of neurons being positive for NOS in diabetes compared to 81.2 +/- 4.7% in controls (P < 0.05). NOS expression in duodenum, ileum, and colon of diabetic animals was not statistically different from controls. Decreased expression of NOS in antrum may contribute to altered gastric emptying observed in diabetics.

Epifluorescence microscopy was performed on solvent-spread monolayers of fluorescently labeled porcine SP-B (R-SP-B, labeled with Texas Red) and SP-C (F-SP-C, labeled with fluorescein) in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) (at protein concentrations of 10 and 20 wt%, and 10 wt% of both) under conditions of cyclic compression and expansion. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) spectroscopy of R-SP-B and F-SP-C indicated that the proteins were intact and labeled with the appropriate fluorescent probe. The monolayers were compressed and expanded for four cycles at an initial rate of 0.64 A2 x mol(-1) x s(-1) (333 mm2 x s x [-1]) up to a surface pressure pi approximately 65 mN/m, and pi-area per residue (pi-A) isotherms at 22 +/- 1 degrees C were obtained. The monolayers were microscopically observed for the fluorescence emission of the individual proteins present in the film lipid matrix, and their visual features were video recorded for image analysis. The pi-A isotherms of the DPPC/protein monolayers showed characteristic "squeeze out" effects at pi approximately 43 mN/m for R-SP-B and 55 mN/m for F-SP-C, as had previously been observed for monolayers of the native proteins in DPPC. Both proteins associated with the expanded (fluid) phase of DPPC monolayers remained in or associated with the monolayers at high pi (approximately 65 mN/m) and redispersed in the monolayer upon its reexpansion. At comparable pi and area/molecule of the lipid, the proteins reduced the amounts of condensed (gel-like) phase of DPPC monolayers, with F-SP-C having a greater effect on a weight basis than did R-SP-B. In any one of the lipid/protein monolayers the amounts of the DPPC in condensed phase were the same at equivalent pi during compression and expansion and from cycle to cycle. This indicated that only minor loss of components from these systems occurred between compression-expansion cycles. This study indicates that hydrophobic PS proteins associate with the fluid phase of DPPC in films, some proteins remain at high surface pressures in the films, and such lipid-protein films can still attain high pi during compression.

The low permeation of antimycobacterial agents and their difficult access to infected macrophages necessitate long-term use of high drug doses. Liposomes preferentially accumulate in macrophages, increasing the efficacy of antibiotics against intracellular parasites. In the present work, several rifabutin (RFB) liposomal formulations were developed and characterised and their in vivo profile was compared with free RFB following intravenous administration. With the RFB liposomal formulations tested, higher concentrations of the antibiotic were achieved in liver, spleen and lungs 24h post administration compared with free RFB. The concentration of RFB in these organs was dependent on the rigidity of liposomal lipids. The liposomal RFB formulation prepared with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine:dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DPPC:DPPG) was the most effective and was selected for biological evaluation in a mouse model of disseminated TB. Compared with mice treated with free RFB, mice treated with the DPPC:DPPG RFB formulation exhibited lower bacterial loads in the spleen (5.53 log(10) vs. 5.18 log(10)) and liver (5.79 log(10) vs. 5.41 log(10)). In the lung, the level of pathology was lower in mice treated with encapsulated RFB. These results suggest that liposomal RFB is a promising approach for the treatment of extrapulmonary TB in human immunodeficiency virus co-infected patients.
