Abstract
Objective: To establish a prediction model for bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns based on the screened independent risk factors, and to analyze its predictive value. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. From January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019, 307 patients with extremely severe burns were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medcine, including 251 males and 56 females, aged from 33 to 55 years. According to the occurrence of bloodstream infection, the patients were divided into non-bloodstream infection group (221 cases) and bloodstream infection group (86 cases). The gender, age, body mass index, outcome, length of hospital stay of patients were compared between the two groups, and the detection of bacteria in blood microbial culture of patients was analyzed in bloodstream infection group. The included 307 patients were divided into modeling group (219 cases) and validation group (88 cases) according to the random number table with the ratio of about 7∶3. The gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, combination of inhalation injury, implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, days of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, outcome, length of hospital stay, complication of bloodstream infection of patients were compared between the two groups. The patients in modeling group were divided into bloodstream infection subgroup and non-bloodstream infection subgroup. The total burn area, full-thickness burn area, combination of inhalation injury, implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, and days of ICU stay of patients were compared between the two subgroups. The above-mentioned data between two groups were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney U test to screen out the factors with statistical significant differences in the subgroup univariate analysis of modeling group. The factors were used as variables, and binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the risk factors of bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns, based on which the prediction model for bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns of modeling group was established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the prediction model predicting the risk of bloodstream infection of patients in modeling group was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. The sensitivity, specificity, and the best prediction probability were calculated according to the Youden index. The patients in validation group were divided into bloodstream infection subgroup (21 cases) and non-bloodstream infection subgroup (67 cases). The prediction probability>the best prediction probability of model was used as the judgment standard of bloodstream infection. The prediction model was used to predict the occurrence of bloodstream infection of patients in the two subgroups of validation group, and the incidence, specificity, and sensitivity of bloodstream infection were calculated, In addition, the ROC curve of the prediction model predicting the risk of bloodstream infection of patients in validation group was drawn, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. Results: Compared with those of non-bloodstream infection group, the mortality of patients in bloodstream infection group was significantly higher (χ2=8.485, P<0.01), the length of hospital stay was significantly increased (Z=-3.003, P<0.01), but there was no significant change in gender, age, or body mass index (P>0.05). In bloodstream infection group, 110 strains of bacteria were detected in blood microbial culture, among which Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii were the top three bacteria, accounting for 35.45% (39/110), 26.36% (29/110), and 13.64% (15/110) respectively. Gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, proportion of combination of inhalation injury, proportion of implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, days of ICU stay, outcome, length of hospital stay, and proportion of complication of bloodstream infection of patients were similar between modeling group and validation group (P>0.05). Compared with those of non-bloodstream infection subgroup in modeling group, the total burn area, full-thickness burn area, proportion of combination of inhalation injury, proportion of implementation of mechanical ventilation, days of mechanical ventilation, and days of ICU stay of patients in bloodstream infection subgroup were significantly increased (Z=-4.429, t=-4.045, χ2=7.845, 8.845, Z=-3.904, -4.134, P<0.01). Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that total burn area, days of ICU stay, and combination of inhalation injury were the independent risk factors for bloodstream infection of patients in modeling group (odds ratio=1.031, 1.018, 2.871, 95% confidence interval=1.004-1.059, 1.006-1.030, 1.345-6.128, P<0.05 or P<0.01). In modeling group, the area under the ROC curve was 0.773 (95% confidence interval=0.708-0.838); the sensitivity was 64.6%, the specificity was 77.9%, and the best prediction probability was 0.335 when the Youden index was 0.425. The bloodstream infection incidence of patients predicted by the prediction model in validation group was 27.27% (24/88), with specificity of 82.09% (55/67) and sensitivity of 57.14% (12/21). The area under the ROC curve in validation group was 0.759 (95% confidence interval=0.637-0.882). Conclusions: The total burn area, days of ICU stay, and combination of inhalation injury are the risk factors of bloodstream infection in patients with extremely severe burns. The prediction model for bloodstream infection risk in patients with extremely severe burns based on these factors has certain predictive value for burn centers with relatively stable treatment methods and bacterial epidemiology.

Abstract
Environmental filtering and dispersal limitation are two of the primary drivers of community assembly in ecosystems, but their effects on ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal communities associated with wide ranges of Betulaceae taxa at a large scale are poorly documented. In this study, we examined EM fungal communities associated with 23 species from four genera (Alnus, Betula, Carpinus and Corylus) of Betulaceae in Chinese secondary forest ecosystems, using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the ITS2 region. Effects of host plant phylogeny, soil, climate and geographic distance on EM fungal community were explored. In total, we distinguished 1738 EM fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at a 97% sequence similarity level. The EM fungal communities of Alnus had significantly lower OTU richness than those associated with the other three plant genera. The EM fungal OTU richness was significantly affected by geographic distance, host plant phylogeny, soil and climate. The EM fungal community composition was significantly influenced by host plant phylogeny (12.1% of variation explained in EM fungal community), geographic distance (7.7%), soil (4.6%) and climate (1.1%). This finding highlights that environmental filtering linked to host plant phylogeny and dispersal limitation strongly influence EM fungal communities associated with Betulaceae plants in Chinese secondary forest ecosystems.

Abstract
The relationship between trees and root-associated fungal communities is complex. By specific root deposits and other signal cues, different tree species are able to attract divergent sets of fungal species. Plant intraspecific differences can lead to variable fungal patterns in the root's proximity. Therefore, within the Beech Transplant Experiment, we analyzed the impact of three different European beech ecotypes on the fungal communities in roots and the surrounding rhizosphere soil at two time points. Beech nuts were collected in three German sites in 2011. After one year, seedlings of the different progenies were out-planted on one site and eventually re-sampled in 2014 and 2017. We applied high-throughput sequencing of the fungal ITS2 to determine the correlation between tree progeny, a possible home-field advantage, plant development and root-associated fungal guilds under field conditions. Our result showed no effect of beech progeny on either fungal OTU richness or fungal community structure. However, over time the fungal OTU richness in roots increased and the fungal communities changed significantly, also in rhizosphere. In both plant compartments, the fungal communities displayed a high temporal turnover, indicating a permanent development and functional adaption of the root mycobiome of young beeches.

Abstract
The interaction between aboveground and belowground biotic communities drives community assembly of plants and soil microbiota. As an important component of belowground microorganisms, root-associated fungi play pivotal roles in biodiversity maintenance and community assembly of host plants. The Betulaceae plants form ectomycorrhizae with soil fungi and widely distribute in various ecosystems. However, the community assembly of endophytic fungi in ectomycorrhizae is less investigated at a large spatial scale. Here, we examined the endophytic fungal communities in ectomycorrhizae of 22 species in four genera belonging to Betulaceae in Chinese forest ecosystems, using Illumina Miseq sequencing of internal transcribed spacer 2 amplicons. The relative contribution of host phylogeny, climate and soil (environmental filtering) and geographic distance (dispersal limitation) on endophytic fungal community was disentangled. In total, 2,106 endophytic fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained at a 97% sequence similarity level, dominated by Leotiomycetes, Agaricomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, and Sordariomycetes. The endophytic fungal OTU richness was significantly related with host phylogeny, geographic distance, soil and climate. The endophytic fungal community composition was significantly affected by host phylogeny (19.5% of variation explained in fungal community), geographic distance (11.2%), soil (6.1%), and climate (1.4%). This finding suggests that environmental filtering by plant and abiotic variables coupled with dispersal limitation linked to geographic distance determines endophytic fungal community assembly in ectomycorrhizae of Betulaceae plants, with host phylogeny being a stronger determinant than other predictor variables at the regional scale.

Abstract
Environmental filtering (niche process) and dispersal limitation (neutral process) are two of the primary forces driving community assembly in ecosystems, but how these processes affect the Fagaceae-associated ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal community at regional scales is so far poorly documented. We examined the EM fungal communities of 61 plant species in six genera belonging to the Fagaceae distributed across Chinese forest ecosystems (geographic distance up to ∼3,757 km) using Illumina Miseq sequencing of ITS2 sequences. The relative effects of environmental filtering (e.g., host plant phylogeny, soil and climate) and dispersal limitation (e.g., spatial distance) on the EM fungal community were distinguished using multiple models. In total, 2,706 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of EM fungi, corresponding to 54 fungal lineages, were recovered at a 97% sequence similarity level. The EM fungal OTU richness was significantly affected by soil pH and nutrients and by host phylogeny. The EM fungal community composition was significantly influenced by combinations of host phylogeny, spatial distance, soil and climate. Furthermore, host phylogeny had the greatest effect on EM fungal community. The study suggests that the assembly of the EM fungal community is governed by both environmental filtering and dispersal limitation, with host effect being the most important determinant at the regional scale.

Abstract
Published data on the association between Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) Asp299Gly polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) susceptibility are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. English-language studies were identified by searching PubMed and Embase databases (up to November 2016). All epidemiological studies were regarding Caucasians because no TLR4 Asp/Gly and Gly/Gly genotypes have been detected in Asians. A total of 20 case-control studies involving 14,416 cases and 10,764 controls were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, no significant associations were found between TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism and CHD susceptibility in the dominant model (OR=0.89; 95%CI=0.74 to 1.06; P=0.20) pooled in the meta-analysis. In the subgroup analysis by CHD, non-significant associations were found in cases compared to controls. When stratified by control source, no significantly decreased risk was found in the additive model or dominant model. The present meta-analysis suggests that the TLR4 Asp299Gly polymorphism was not associated with decreased CHD risk in Caucasians.

Abstract
Elucidating interactions of above-ground and below-ground communities in different habitat types is essential for understanding biodiversity maintenance and ecosystem functioning. Using 454 pyrosequencing of ITS2 sequences we examined the relationship between subtropical mountain forest soil fungal communities, abiotic conditions, and plant communities using correlation and partial models. Ridge and valley habitats with differing fungal communities were delineated. Total, saprotrophic and pathogenic fungal richness were significantly correlated with plant species richness and/or soil nutrients and moisture in the ridge habitat, but with habitat convexity or basal area of Castanopsis eyrei in the valley habitat. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungal richness was significantly correlated with basal area of C. eyrei and total EM plants in the ridge and valley habitats, respectively. Total, saprotrophic, pathogenic and EM fungal compositions were significantly correlated with plant species composition and geographic distance in the ridge habitat, but with various combinations of plant species composition, plant species richness, soil C : N ratio and pH or no variables in the valley habitat. Our findings suggest that mechanisms influencing soil fungal diversity and community composition differ between ridge and valley habitats, and relationships between fungal and woody plant assemblages depend on habitat types in the subtropical forest ecosystem.

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) has been hypothesized as a multifactorial disorder initiated by an environment trigger in individuals with predisposing human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Published data on the association between HLA-DR3 antigen and IDC risk are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Studies were identified by searching the PUBMED and Embase database (starting from June 2015). A total of 19 case-control studies including 1378 cases and 10383 controls provided data on the association between HLA-DR3 antigen and genetic susceptibility to IDC. Overall, significantly decreased frequency of HLA-DR3 allele (OR=0.72; 95%CI=0.58-0.90; P=0.004) was found in patients with IDC compared with controls. When stratified by myocardial biopsy or non-biopsy cases, statistically decreased risk was found for IDC in myocardial biopsy cases (OR=0.69; 95%CI=0.57-0.84; P=0.0003). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, borderline statistically significantly decreased risk was found among Europeans from 12 case-control studies (OR=0.76; 95%CI=0.58-1.00; P=0.05). In conclusion, our results suggest that individuals with HLA-DR3 antigen may have a protective effect against IDC.

Abstract
Coronary angiography can be a high-risk condition for the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in elderly patients. Reduced glutathione, under a variety of mechanisms, may prevent CIN in this procedure. We prospectively examined whether hydration with reduced glutathione is superior to hydration alone for prevention of CIN in an elderly Han Chinese population. A total of 505 patients (271 males and 234 females) aged 75 years or older who underwent non-emergency coronary angiography or an intervention were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group received hydration with reduced glutathione (n=262) and the control group received hydration alone (n=243). Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were measured prior to coronary angiography and 48 h after this procedure. The primary endpoint was occurrence of CIN, which was defined as 25% or 44.2 µmol/L above baseline serum creatinine levels 48 h after the procedure. The overall incidence of CIN was 6.49% in the treatment group and 7.41% in the control group, with no significant difference between the groups (P=0.68). In subgroup analysis by percutaneous coronary intervention, no significant differences were found between the two groups. In summary, reduced glutathione added to optimal hydration does not further decrease the risk of CIN in elderly patients undergoing coronary angiography or an intervention.

Abstract
Targeting retroviral vectors to tumor vasculature is an important goal of cancer gene therapy. In this study, we report a novel targeting approach wherein IgG-binding peptides were inserted into the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MuLV) envelope (env) protein. The modifications on the viral env included replacement of the entire receptor binding region of the viral env with protein A (or ZZ) domains. The truncated env incorporating IgG-binding motifs (known as proteins) provided the targeting function, while the co-expressed wild-type (WT) env protein enabled viral fusion and cell entry. An anti-human VEGF receptor (Flk-1/KDR) antibody served as a molecular bridge, directing the retroviral vector to the endothelial cell. Hence, the IgG-targeted vectors bound to the Flk-1/KDR antibody which in turn bound to VEGF receptors on Kaposi sarcoma, KSY1, endothelial cells. The net effect was increased viral fusion and infectivity of IgG-bound retroviral vectors when compared to non-targeted vectors bearing WT env alone. These data provide the proof of concept that IgG-binding vector/VEGF receptor antibody complexes may be used to enhance retroviral gene delivery to activated endothelial cells.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2(FMRFa) on Na+/Ca2+ exchange and its specificity for Na+/Ca2+ exchange in rat ventricular myocytes. METHODS Na+/Ca2+ exchange current and other currents of ion channels were measured using whole cell voltage clamp techniques. RESULTS A dose-related inhibition of tetrapeptide FMRFa on Na+/Ca2+ exchange was observed in rat ventricular myocytes. Inward and outward INa+/Ca2+ were inhibited by 60.1% and 56.5%, respectively, at highest concentration (100 mumol.L-1) and its IC50 were 20 mumol.L-1 and 34 mumol.L-1 in inward and outward INa+/Ca2+, respectively. Inward and outward INa+/Ca2+ were inhibited 38.7% and 34.9%, respectively, at FMRFa 5 mumol.L-1. FMRFa 5 mumol.L-1 and 20 mumol.L-1 did not affect L-type calcium current, sodium current, transient outward current and inward rectifier potassium current. CONCLUSION These data indicate that FMRFa is a specific inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchange in intact rat ventricular myocytes.

Abstract
Targeting of retroviral vectors to specific cells has been attempted through engineering of the surface (SU) protein of the murine leukemia viruses (MuLVs), but in many cases this has adversely affected protein function and targeted delivery has been difficult to achieve. In this study, we have inserted a 15-mer peptide that binds specifically to the alpha(v)beta(3) integrin into the Moloney MuLV SU protein, including regions that are surface exposed in the crystal structure of the ecotropic receptor-binding domain. We have concentrated in particular on the variable regions VRA, VRB, and VRC, which are responsible for the use of distinct cellular receptors by different MuLV subtypes and therefore may be more likely to accommodate a heterologous binding moiety. Despite these considerations, only 8 of 26 insertion sites were tolerated, including two separate regions in VRA, a cluster of sites in VRC, and previously identified sites at the N-terminus of the protein and in the proline-rich region immediately downstream of the receptor-binding domain. When expressed on retroviral vector particles, all of the viable proteins retained the ability to bind to and transduce murine cells, although the VRC mutants and an insertion in VRA gave reduced binding and titer. Finally, although all of the viable chimeras could bind to alpha(v)beta(3) in a solid-phase binding assay, we were unable to demonstrate expanded tropism for alpha(v)beta(3)-expressing human cells. This study highlights the difficulty of engineering the Moloney MuLV SU protein, even when structural information is available, and provides guidelines for the insertion of peptide ligands into the SU protein.

METHODS The quasi-steady state current-voltage relationship from the isolated rat ventricular myocytes was measured using whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques with a ramp pulse protocol. RESULTS At potential of mV, E-4031 5, 10, and 20 mumol.L-1 increased Ni(2+)-sensitive current from (0.48 +/- 0.12), to (0.78 +/- 0.20), (0.96 +/- 0.16), and (1.15 +/- 0.13) pA/pF, respectively; tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA) 50 nmol.L-1 increased Ni(2+)-sensitive current from (0.60 +/- 0.16) to (1.33 +/- 0.25) pA/pF. Tamoxifen 20 mumol.L-1 completely prevented the current changes induced by E-4031 and TPA. CONCLUSION E-4031 stimulates the Na+/Ca2+ exchange via a protein kinase C-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Effects of myocardial hypertrophy on the Na+/Ca2+ exchange current in isolated rat cardiac myocytes were investigated, using whole cell patch techniques. Goldblatt 2-kidney, one-clip technique was used to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The results demonstrated that the Ni(2+)-sensitive Na+/Ca2+ exchange current density was larger in hypertrophied cells than that in normal cells. At a holding potential of mV, the outward current densities were 1.53 +/- 0.31 pA/pF in normal cells and 2.62 +/- 0.53 pA/pF in hypertrophied cells (P < 0.01). At a holding potential of -100 mV, the inward current densities were 0.42 +/- 0.14 pA/pF in normal cells and 1.12 +/- 0.33 pA/pF in hypertrophied cells (P < 0.001). The results suggest that during myocardial hypertrophy the Na+/Ca2+ exchange current is significantly increased.

Abstract
AIM To study the effects of propylbutyldopamine (PBDA) on the inward rectifier potassium current (Ik1). METHODS The quasi-steady state current-voltage relationship from the isolated guinea pig ventricular cells were measured using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques with a slow ramp depolarization (8 mV.s-1). RESULTS PBDA 5, 50, and 100 mumol.L-1 concentration-dependently reduced the inward rectifier potassium current. PBDA blocked Ik1 in guinea pig ventricular cells. The effect of PBDA was not blocked by the selective dopamine D2-receptor blocker, domperidone. CONCLUSION PBDA inhibited Ik1 directly, independent of the dopamine D2-receptor.

Abstract
Autoantibodies to cardiac beta1-adrenoceptors and M2-muscarinic receptors have mainly been found in the sera of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In order to elucidate the pathological significance of these autoantibodies in DCM, it is necessary to understand their characteristic distribution in a healthy population of different genders and ages. The peptides corresponding to the sequences of the second extracellular loops of the human beta1-adrenoceptor and M2-muscarinic receptors were therefore used as antigens to screen the sera of 408 healthy subjects of different ages (ranging from 0.5 to 85 years). Of 408 sera, 41 (10.0%) and 46 (11.3%) recognized the beta1-adrenoceptor and M2-muscarinic receptor peptides respectively. Of the positive sera for beta1-adrenoceptors and M2-muscarinic receptors, up to 63.4% and 56.5% had both anti-beta1-adrenoceptor and anti-M2-muscarinic receptor autoantibodies respectively. The antibody titres of the positive sera of healthy subjects were all of a low level, with a geometric mean titre of 1:42+/-1.9 for anti-beta1-adrenoceptor antibodies and 1:51+/-1.7 for anti-M2-muscarinic receptor antibodies. The frequency of occurrence of autoantibodies to both receptors in the sera of healthy subjects increased significantly with age. In conclusion, the autoantibodies to beta1-adrenoceptors and M2-muscarinic receptors in the sera of healthy subjects are characterized by a low frequency of occurrence and low titre, with the frequency of occurrence increasing with age.

Abstract
AIM To study the effect of phentolamine on L-type calcium currents (ICa) and ATP-sensitive K+ currents (IK,ATP) in ventricular myocytes. METHODS ICa and IK,ATP were observed using patch clamp techniques in whole-cell recording configuration. RESULTS Phentolamine reduced ICa of ventricular myocytes in concentration-dependent and voltage-independent manners. Phentolamine 5, 25, and 100 mumol.L-1 decreased ICa from 370 +/- 99 nA to 310 +/- 95 nA (17% block, n = 6, P < 0.01), from 230 +/- 98 nA to 180 +/- 73 nA (23% block, n = 5, P < 0.05), and from 293 +/- 66 nA to 206 +/- 44 nA (30% block, n = 5, P < 0.01), respectively, without affecting the current-voltage relationship. Prazosin 100 mumol.L-1 and yohimbine 100 mumol.L-1, which were specific blockers of alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoceptors respectively, did not show the inhibitory effect on ICa. Phentolamine 100 mumol.L-1 also inhibited the IK,ATP induced by 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP) at 0 mV from 3.2 +/- 0.6 nA to 0.8 +/- 0.5 nA (75% block, n = 4, P < 0.01).

Abstract
Current pharmacological agents for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection include drugs targeted against HIV reverse transcriptase and HIV protease. An understudied therapeutic target is HIV integrase, an essential enzyme that mediates integration of the HIV genome into the host chromosome. The dicaffeoylquinic acids (DCQAs) and the dicaffeoyltartaric acids (DCTAs) have potent activity against HIV integrase in vitro and prevent HIV replication in tissue culture. However, their specificity against HIV integrase in cell culture has been questioned. Thus, the ability of the DCQAs and DCTAs to inhibit binding of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) gp120 to CD4 and their activities against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and HIV RNase H were studied. The DCQAs and DCTAs inhibited HIV-1 integrase at concentrations between 150 and 840 nM. They inhibited HIV replication at concentrations between 2 and 12 microM. Their activity against reverse transcriptase ranged from 7 microM to greater than 100 microM. Concentrations that inhibited gp120 binding to CD4 exceeded 80 microM. None of the compounds blocked HIV-1 RNase H by 50% at concentrations exceeding 80 microM. Furthermore, when the effects of the DCTAs on reverse transcription in acutely infected cells were measured, they were found to have no activity. Therefore, the DCQAs and DCTAs exhibit > 10- to > 100-fold specificity for HIV integrase, and their activity against integrase in biochemical assays is consistent with their observed anti-HIV activity in tissue culture. Thus, the DCQAs and DCTAs are a potentially important class of HIV inhibitors that act at a site distinct from that of current HIV therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and crystallographic analysis of protein-inhibitor complexes is described for a novel series of nonpeptidic HIV protease (HIV Pr)inhibitors. Beginning with a cocrystal structure of a Phe-Pro peptidomimetic bound to the HIV Pr, design was initiated that resulted in the substituted 2-butanol compound 8 as the lead compound (Ki = 24.5 microM, racemic mixture). Modifications on the initial compound were then made on the basis of its cocrystal structure with HIV Pr and inhibition data, resulting in compounds with enhanced potency against the enzyme (compound 18, Ki = 0.48 microM). These inhibitors were found to bind to the enzyme essentially as predicted on the basis of the original design hypothesis. Stereospecific synthesis of individual enantiomers confirmed the prediction of a binding preference for the S alcohol stereochemistry. Modest antiviral activity was demonstrated for several of the more potent HIV Pr inhibitors in a HIV-1 infected CEM-SS cell line.

Abstract
A series of potent nonpeptide inhibitors of the HIV protease have been identified. Using the structure of compound 3 bound to the HIV protease, bis tertiary amide inhibitor 9 was designed and prepared. Compound 9 was found to be about 17 times more potent than 3, and the structure of the protein-ligand complex of 9 revealed the inhibitor binds in an inverted binding mode relative to 3. Examination of the protein-ligand complex of 9 suggested several modifications in the P1 and P1' pockets. Through these modifications it was possible to improve the activity of the inhibitors another 100-fold, highlighting the utility of crystallographic feedback in inhibitor design. These compounds were found to have good antiviral activity in cell culture, were selective for the HIV protease, and were orally available in three animal models.

Abstract
The mechanisms responsible for the cardiac positive inotropic effects of dopexamine hydrochloride, a combined dopamine receptor agonist at both D1-receptors and beta 2-adrenoceptors, were studied. The calcium channel currents were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique in isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes. At a holding potential of -40 mV, cells were depolarized to 0 mV for 400 ms at a frequency of 0.2 Hz. Dopexamine hydrochloride at doses of 5, 50 and 100 microM increased the verapamil-sensitive Ca2+ inward current by 109, 147 and 194%, respectively. The effects of dopexamine hydrochloride on Ca2+ current reached its maximum at 5 min and partially recovered after washout of the drugs. The increased Ca2+ current induced by dopexamine hydrochloride was completely inhibited by 20 microM propranolol, a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, and was not antagonized by 20 microM of SCH23390, a highly selective D1-receptor antagonist. These results suggest that the cardiac positive inotropic effects of dopexamine hydrochloride are brought about by the increase of Ca2+ current via stimulation of beta 2-adrenoceptors.

Abstract
In whole cell voltage clamp experiment with isolated guinea pig ventricular myocytes, tocainide was shown to exhibit a concentration-dependent inhibition of calcium current (ICa) and delayed rectifier potassium current (IK). Tocainide with a therapeutic concentration of 50 mumol.L-1 significantly inhibited the ICa and Itail (deactivating tail current of IK) by 16% and 3% respectively. Inhibition of ICa by tocainide was also shown to be dependent upon stimulating frequencies, with a greater blockade occurring at 2.0 Hz (57%) than at 0.2 Hz (17%). Tocainide was found to inhibit the IK,ATP by 74% at 200 mumol.L-1 but not at 50 mumol.L-1. These inhibitory effects on ICa and IK can probably explain the therapeutic effect of tocainide on supraventricular tachycardia, and the shortening of plateau phase of action potential.

Abstract
The effects of dopexamine (DPX), a new dopamine receptor agonist, on transmembrane potential and effective refractory period (ERP) of isolated guinea pig ventricular muscle superfused either with hypoxia or mimic ischemia perfusates were investigated by using intracellular microelectrode technique and compared with fenoldopam (FODA) and procaterol. DPX (3 x 10(-6) mol.L-1) was found to significantly reduce both the extent of decrease of resting potential, action potential amplitude and maximal upstroke velocity and the degree of shortening of action potential duration caused by hypoxia or ischemia. These effects of DPX were significantly greater than those of FODA and procaterol albeit the latter showed effects similar to DPX. DPX could not only lengthen the abbreviated ERP resulting from hypoxia, but also shorten the prolonged ERP caused by ischemia. This action of DPX was more evident than that of FODA and procaterol. The results reveal the potential advantages of DPX over other dopaminergic agonists in the antiarrhythmic activity during myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
The X-ray crystal-structure-based design, synthesis, computational evaluation, and activity of a novel class of HIV protease inhibitors are described. The initial lead compounds 2 and 3 were designed by modeling replacement groups for the C-terminal Val-Val-OCH3 of a known hydroxyethylene inhibitor into the active site of the reported crystal structure of HIV protease complexed with MVT-101. The lead compound 2 was found to be a modest inhibitor with a Ki = 1.67 microM. The X-ray crystal structure of compound 2 complexed with HIV protease was solved and used for subsequent design. The lead compound 3 was found to be a more potent inhibitor with Ki = 0.2 microM, and the structure of it complexed with HIV protease was also solved and used for subsequent design. Modification of both the C-terminus and N-terminus of indole 3 resulted in compounds with Ki = 30 nM. Using the crystal structure of compounds 2 and 3 with HIV protease as a starting point, the thermodynamic cycle perturbation molecular dynamics method was applied to a select group of compounds in order to test the accuracy of this type of computation within a series of closely related compounds.

Abstract
Pea chloroplast RNA polymerase has been obtained with about 2000-fold purification using DEAE-cellulose and phosphocellulose chromatography. The purified enzyme contained ten prominent polypeptides of 150, 130, 115, 110, 95, 85, 75, 48, 44 and 39 kDa and four other minor polypeptides of 90, 34, 32 and 27 kDa. Purification of this enzyme using chloroplast 16S rDNA promoter affinity column chromatography also yielded an enzyme with similar polypeptides. Purified polyclonal antibodies against the purified chloroplast RNA polymerase were found to recognize most of the polypeptides of the enzyme in Western blot experiments. Primary mobility shift of the 16S rRNA gene and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit (rbc-L) gene promoters observed with the chloroplast RNA polymerase was abolished by these antibodies. The specific in vitro transcription of these rRNA and mRNA genes was also inhibited by these antibodies. The transcription of the rRNA and mRNA genes was also abolished by tagetitoxin, a specific inhibitor of chloroplast RNA polymerase. The chloroplast RNA polymerase was found to bind specifically to the chloroplast 16S rRNA gene promoter region as visualized in electron microscopy. The presence of the polypeptides of 130, 110, 75-95 and 48 kDa in the DNA-enzyme complex was confirmed by a novel approach using immunogold labeling with the respective antibodies. The polypeptides of this purified RNA polymerase were found to be localized in chloroplasts by an indirect immunofluorescence.

Abstract
A cloned pea chloroplast 16S rRNA gene promoter has been characterized in detail by use of a homologous in vitro transcription system that contains a highly purified chloroplast RNA polymerase. The in vivo and in vitro 16S rRNA transcriptional start site has been identified to be a T on the plus strand, 158 bases upstream of the mature 5' end of the gene. BAL 31 deletions of the 16S rRNA leader region demonstrated that the bases between -66 to +30 relative to the transcriptional start site (+1) are necessary for specific 16S transcription. Disruption of canonical TTGACA or TATAAT elements within this region caused complete transcriptional inactivation and prevented protein binding. The topological requirement for 16S transcription was examined by using a construct that synthesized a transcript from the 16S promoter and released it from a pea plastid putative terminator sequence. This minigene was relaxed in vitro with a topoisomerase I from pea chloroplast. It was shown that the 16S promoter was most active when the minigene plasmid was supercoiled.

Abstract
A highly purified RNA polymerase preparation from pea chloroplasts has been shown to specifically transcribe the 16S rRNA gene in vitro using the recombinant pCB2-8 DNA as a template. The RNA polymerase has been found to show maximum activity and specificity with pea supercoiled rDNA as a template. At low concentrations of ribonucleoside triphosphates, the RNA polymerase selectively initiates transcription on the 16S rRNA gene. A part of the 16S rRNA gene has been sequenced. The mature 16S rRNA has been found by S1 nuclease analysis to contain sequences starting from GAAGCT. The in vitro synthesized RNA has been found to protect the same nucleotides GAAGCT. In addition, the in vitro synthesized RNA was also found to strongly protect bases starting with TATG located at about 260 bases away from the start site of the mature 16S rRNA.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements were performed on photosystem II (PSII) membranes that were treated with 2 M NaCl to release the 17- and 23-kilodalton (kDa) polypeptides. By using 75 microM 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea to limit the photosystem II samples to one stable charge separation in the temperature range of 77-273 K, we have quantitated the EPR signals of the several electron donors and acceptors of photosystem II. It was found that removal of the 17- and 23-kDa polypeptides caused low potential cytochrome b559 to become fully oxidized during the course of dark adaptation. Following illumination at 77-130 K, one chlorophyll molecule per reaction center was oxidized. Between 130 and 200 K, both a chlorophyll molecule and the S1 state were photooxidized and, together, accounted for one oxidation per reaction center. Above 200 K, the chlorophyll radical was unstable. Oxidation of the S1 state gave rise to the S2-state multiline EPR signal, which arises from the Mn site of the O2-evolving center. The yield of the S2-state multiline EPR signal in NaCl-washed PSII membranes was as high as 93% of the control, untreated PSII membranes, provided that both Ca2+ and Cl- were bound. Furthermore, the 55Mn nuclear hyperfine structure of the S2-state multiline EPR signal was unaltered upon depletion of the 17- and 23-kDa polypeptides. In NaCl-washed PSII samples where Ca2+ and/or Cl- were removed, however, the intensity of the S2-state multiline EPR signal decreased in parallel with the fraction of PSII lacking bound Ca2+ and Cl-.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
