C2H2-171 : A novel human cDNA representing a developmentally regulated poz domain/zinc finger protein preferentially expressed in brain

We describe a novel human zinc finger cNDA, C2H2-171. This cDNA represents an mRNA which encodes a protein of 484 amino acids and a calculated molecular weight of 54 kD. Four zinc finger-like domains are found in the C-terminal end of the protein. At the N-terminus, C2H2-171 contains a POZ/tramtrack-like domain similar to that found in the tumor associated zinc finger proteins LAZ-3/BCL-6 and PLZ-F, as well as in non-zinc finger proteins. C2H2-171 RNA is preferentially expressed in the brain, and increases during the course of murine development, with maximal expression in the adult. C2H2-171 RNA is differentially expressed in brain regions, with the highest level of expression in the cerebellum. C2H2-171 RNA was expressed at high levels in primary cerebellar granule cell neurons compared to astrocytes. The gene encoding C2H2-171 is highly conserved in vertebrates, and maps to the terminus of human chromosome 1 (1q44-ter). This chromosomal location is associated with a number of cytogenetic aberrations including those involving brain developmental anomalies and tumorigenesis. These data suggest that C2H2-171 may play an important role in vertebrate brain development and function.

Pharmacological interactions between serotonin and dopamine on behavior in the squirrel monkey

 The behavioral effects of GBR 12909, a selective dopamine uptake inhibitor, were determined in squirrel monkeys trained to respond under a fixed-interval (FI) schedule of stimulus termination and a second-order schedule of IV drug self-administration. Intermediate doses of GBR 12909 increased FI response rate markedly, and the highest dose decreased response rate below control values. The 5HT uptake inhibitors, alaproclate and fluoxetine, and the 5HT agonist, quipazine, attenuated the behavioral-stimulant effects of GBR 12909, whereas the 5HT_2A/2C antagonist, ritanserin, enhanced the behavioral-stimulant effects of the lowest dose. GBR 12909 reliably maintained self-administration, and ritanserin increased response rate maintained by the highest dose. The dopamine agonist, quinpirole, increased FI response rate in only one of three subjects, and ritanserin enhanced the behavioral-stimulant effects of quinpirole in that subject. The dopamine agonist, apomorphine, only decreased FI response rate, and ritanserin did not alter its behavioral effects. The pharmacological profile of GBR 12909 administered alone and in combination with selective 5HT drugs in the present study was similar to that obtained previously with cocaine, further demonstrating that 5HT can reliably modulate the behavioral effects of psychomotor stimulants with prominent dopaminergic actions.

COMPARISON OF TWO COMMERCIAL TEST KITS FOR QUANTIFICATION OF SERUM CARBOHYDRATE-DEFICIENT TRANSFERRIN

Serum levels of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) weremeasured in subjects of two independent studies using two differentcommercial kits. The kits measure CDT either as a percentageof total transferrin (AXIS %CDT^TM, AXIS Biochemicals AS, Norway),or as the absolute amount (CDTect^TM, Pharmacia, Sweden). Ina population of males (mean age 41 years) consisting of alcoholics,heavy, moderate and non-drinkers, a strong correlation was foundbetween AXIS %CDT and CDTect results (r=0.92, n=58, P<0.001).Sensitivity and specificity in detecting chronic alcoholic drinkingof over 60 g/day were 78 and 94% for the AXIS assay, and 83and 88% for the CDTect assay, respectively. In a populationfrom a birth cohort study, consisting of 21-year-old males andfemales with less excessive alcohol consumption, the correlationbetween AXIS %CDT and CDTect CDT was weaker but still statisticallysignificant (r=0.46. n=212, =<0.001). In this population,with specificities >83% in detecting alcohol consumptionlevels of

A randomized controlled trial of antibiotics on symptom resolution in patients presenting to their general practitioner with a sore throat.

BACKGROUND: Sore throat is a common symptom presented to general practitioners (GPs), and there remains controversy about the appropriate use of antibiotics. AIM: To compare, in a randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of penicillin, cefixime and placebo on symptom resolution in patients presenting with a sore throat in general practice. METHOD: Twenty-two GPs in Avon recruited 154 patients, aged 16-60 years, presenting to their GP with a sore throat, and for whom the GP would normally prescribe an antibiotic. Patients were randomized to one of three groups: penicillin V 250 mg four times a day; cefixime 200 mg daily; and placebo. Each was prescribed for five days. The main outcome measures were a diary of symptom resolution over seven days and eradication of group A beta-haemolytic streptococcus (GABHS). RESULTS: Of the 103 (67%) patients who completed symptom diaries, 40 were allocated to receive penicillin, 29 cefixime and 34 placebo. In the analysis including all patients, symptom resolution was greater by day 3 in the cefixime group than in the placebo group. Penicillin did not improve symptom resolution by day 3 compared with placebo, and cefixime was not statistically significantly different from penicillin. There were significant differences in the proportion of patients using analgesia at day 3, with the proportion being lowest in the cefixime group. The results for the subgroup of patients without GABHS were similar to those for all patients; in particular, the only statistically significant difference was between cefixime and placebo. Although numbers were too small for statistical significance, among patients with GABHS the effects of penicillin and cefixime were similarly raised in relation to placebo. CONCLUSION: Compared with placebo, cefixime can improve the rate of resolution of symptoms in patients with a sore throat who are selected for antibiotic treatment by their GP. The unexpected finding that cefixime was of benefit compared with placebo for patients without GABHS suggests that bacteria other than GABHS may be important in the pathogenesis of sore throat.     

Imaging findings of the developing temporal bone in fetal specimens.

PURPOSETo trace the development of the normal fetal temporal bone by means of plain radiography, MR, and CT.METHODSEighteen formalin-fixed fetal specimens, 13.5 to 24.4 weeks'' gestational age, were examined with a mammographic plain film technique, CT, and MR imaging at 1.5 T. Temporal bone development and ossification were assessed.RESULTSThe membranous labyrinth grows with amazing rapidity and attains adult size by the middle of the gestation period. The cochlea, vestibule, and semicircular canals are very prominent and easily recognized on MR images. The otic capsule develops from a cartilage model. Ossification of the otic capsule proceeds rapidly between 18 and 24 weeks from multiple ossification centers that replace the cartilaginous framework. The mastoid, internal auditory canal, vestibular aqueduct, and external auditory canal continue to grow after birth.CONCLUSIONThe study of fetal developmental anatomy may lead to a better understanding of congenital disorders of the ear. Faster MR scanning techniques may provide a method for in utero evaluation of the fetal temporal bone.
