Higher-order organization and compartmentalization of satellite DNA PIM357 in species of the coleopteran genus Pimelia

The PIM357 satellite DNA family is present in 26 Pimelia taxa (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) with endemic congeneric species from the Canary Islands showing higher interrepeat variability than continental ones. In this paper, we compare the repetitive DNA sequences of a Canarian species that has distinct subfamilies of repeat units, P. radula ascendens, with another without such subfamilies, P. sparsa sparsa. The chromosomal localization of the repeat units and the comparison of the variability of randomly cloned monomers to the one estimated by comparing repeat units from dimers and trimers suggest the absence of satellite subfamilies in P. sparsa sparsa. Hence, the repeat units of this species seem to be uniformly and randomly distributed throughout all chromosomes out of one chromosomal pair. On the contrary, P. radula ascendens shows four divergent subfamilies of repeat units supported by several diagnostic nucleotide substitutions. These subfamilies seem to form four distinct repeat units: monomer subfamily 1, monomer subfamily 4 and two higher-order units (dimer linking subfamily 1 and 4, and dimer linking subfamily 2 and 3). Moreover, monomers of subfamily 1 are present in three chromosomal pairs only. We discuss the effect of different potential factors acting in the concerted evolution and the genomic organization of stDNA sequences in these taxa. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Patients seeking symmetrical recontouring for “Perceived” deformities in the width of the face and skull

This article describes plastic surgery patients who sought symmetrical recontouring of the width of the face and skull. The basic demographic and personality characteristics of these facial width deformity (FWD) patients and the surgical procedures performed on them are discussed. Details of the surgical and psychological management of three representative cases are given. Speculative conclusions regarding the general characteristics of the FWD population are offered. Suggestions are proposed for a combined surgical-medical psychotherapeutic collaboration in managing these patients.     

细胞移植治疗心肌梗死的研究与展望

细胞移植是治疗心肌梗死的一种新策略,本文对目前应用于临床研究的骨骼肌卫星细胞移植及骨髓干细胞移植治疗心肌梗死的进展进行综述。上述两种细胞移植均具有来源丰富、无排斥反应的特点,而且通过研究观察表明,上述两种细胞移植后,心脏功能均能得到改善,故具有美好发展前景。但二者亦均具有不足之处和需要解决的问题,还需进一步研究与探索。     

Impaired motor imagery in patients with essential tremor: a case control study.

Motor imagery (MI), which refers to the process of mental representation of movements, has not been studied in patients with essential tremor (ET). We investigated the presence of impaired MI in ET patients compared with healthy controls. A group of drug-naive and nondemented ET patients and age-matched controls were studied using transcranial magnetic stimulation, while they were specifically instructed to try and imagine themselves performing two motor tasks. The various clinical and electrophysiological variables were evaluated and compared. Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated a significant difference between ET patients and controls with respect to mean motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes (F(1,38) = 31.92, P < 0.005) during MI. The process of MI effectively facilitated MEP amplitude in controls but not in ET patients, regardless of side of stimulation or motor tasks. We provide evidence to demonstrate impairment of MI in a group of ET patients compared with healthy controls. The basis for this novel finding is unclear, and further studies are warranted to determine whether it is related to cerebellar or motor cortical dysfunction.

Fear Imagery and Text Processing

This study examined the effect of three variables held to influence heart rate response during imagery-related text processing: mode of processing, content of text, and inclusion of response information in the text. Sixty-four undergraduates imagined and silently repeated fearful and neutral sentences in a paradigm designed to allow for self-initiation of sentence processing. Fear sentences either included or did not include information about bodily responses in the image. Heart rate accelerated more during fear imagery than during neutral imagery or silent repetition of either type of sentence. Inclusion of response information in fear material did not increase heart rate response to imagery, but did affect self-report in the predicted direction. Heart rate waveform prior to the sentence tasks indicated pre-processing of fearful material. The results were discussed in relation to a bio-informational theory of imagery, which asserts that emotional imagery accesses the same centrally-mediated response program as is evoked in the target reality context, and thus occasions measurable activity in the appropriate effectors.     

5-Azacytidine produces differential undercondensation of alpha,beta and classical human satellite DNAs

Fluorescencein situ hybridization employing human alphoid, beta and classical satellite DNA probes was performed on 5-azacytidine treated and untreated chromosomes obtained from human lymphocytes. The individual used in this study presented a polymorphism of constitutive heterochromatin of chromosomes 1 and 9 as revealed byin situ digestion with the restriction endonucleaseAlul. Neither the alphoid nor the beta satellite DNA domains were susceptible to condensation-inhibition by 5-azacytidine. Only the classical satellite localized on chromosome 9 was affected. The constitutive heterochromatin size polymorphism was shown to depend mainly on variations of the classical satellite DNA domain. Therefore, condensation-inhibition, as a phenomenon which may modify the natural folding of the chromatin fibre, regionally affects human constitutive heterochromatin and seems to be dependent on the heterochromatic family.     

Satellite cells express the trophic factor IGF-I in regenerating skeletal muscle

The expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I, somatomedin C) was studied in regenerating skeletal muscle. Irreversible damage to skeletal muscle cells was induced in the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) of adult rats by ischaemia, preceded by glycogen depletion, and the regeneration process was studied for periods up to 14 days after injury. The IGF-I was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence. Immunoreactivity against ribonucleotide reductase (RR) was used as a marker for DNA synthesis, that is, cell proliferation. Increased IGF-I immunoreactivity could be demonstrated within 24h after injury in satellite cells, intramuscular nerves and in blood vessels. The IGF-I immunoreactivity remained virtually unchanged in the contralateral, undamaged EDL. An increasing number of satellite cells, expressing high IGF-I immunoreactivity, could be demonstrated in the injured EDL, and within 72 h myoblasts, expressing high IGF-I and RR immunoreactivity, were formed. Small immature muscle cells, displaying high IGF-I immunoreactivity, were observed 4 days after injury. Increased IGF-I immunoreactivity was still obvious in the regenerated muscle cells 14 days after injury while RR immunoreactivity was seen only in scattered satellite cells. It is concluded that IGF-I may act as a trophic factor during regeneration of skeletal muscle after injury.
