Screening of ferritin light polypeptide 460-461InsA mutation in Parkinson's disease patients in North America

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is becoming the procedure of choice to reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as rigidity, akinesia and tremor. We present here a series of electrophysiological recordings performed in 34 patients along a standardized electrode trajectory. Neuronal activity along the trajectory consists of a first heterogeneous population of thalamic cells with a mean frequency of 24.8+/-1.4 Hz followed by a silent zone and a second population of STN neurones with a significantly higher spiking frequency (P<0.001) of 42.3+/-1.8 Hz. This study confirms previous findings and suggests that rapid measurement of neuronal spiking frequency and burst index is sufficient to determine precisely the vertical position of the STN.

Deletion of stem-loop 3 is compensated by second-site mutations within the Gag protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Encapsidation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA involves specific interactions between viral Gag proteins and viral RNA elements located at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). These RNA elements are termed packaging (psi) or encapsidation (E) signals and mainly comprise the stem-loop 1 (SL1) and SL3 RNA structures. We have previously shown that deletion of the SL1 sequences is compensated by second-site mutations within Gag. Similar studies are now extended to SL3 and the results demonstrate that deletion of this RNA structure is rescued by two point mutations, i.e., A11V in p2 and I12V in nucleocapsid (NC). These two compensatory mutations are different from those associated with the rescue of SL1 deletion, suggesting that SL1 and SL3 may bind to different residues of Gag during viral RNA packaging. Analysis of virion-derived RNA in native agarose gels shows that deletion of SL3 leads to decreases in both viral RNA packaging and dimerization. These defects are corrected by the compensatory mutations A11V and I12V. Yet, defects in viral RNA dimerization at an early stage that were caused by the SL3 deletion in the context of a viral protease-negative mutation cannot be overcome by these two suppressor mutations. Therefore, the positive effects of A11V and I12V on dimerization of the SL3-deleted RNA must have taken place at the maturation stage.     

THE ACTION OF RADIX REHMANNIAE AND PLASTRUM TESTUDINIS ON BETA- ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR-cAMP SYSTEM

Mouse and rat pathological models were pro duced by injections of thyroid hormone (T3 0r T4, Model. I) or hydrocortisone (HC, Model II). A single subcutaneous dose of isoproterenol (ISO) caused plasma cAMP to peak in 5-15 min which was significantly higher in mouse Models I and II than in normal mice. Daily oral administration of a decoction of two Yin tonics-Radix Rehmanniae (RR) and Plastrum Testudinis (PT) reduced peak cAMP in both models. 3H.DHA binding assay re vealed significant elevations of the number of 3 adrenergic receptors in rat Models I and II. Decoc- tion RR and PT restored the peaks to normal range. Yang tonics Radix Aconiti praeparata (RAP) and Cortex Cinnamomi (CC) showcd contradictory effects on these models. It seems unlikely that the action of the two tonics promotes the dlearance of injected hormones, since injected hormone RIA iii plasma showed no differences between Yin tonics treated and untreated models. The therapeutic effects of these two Yin tonics on "Yin deficiency" syndrome of hyperthyroidism or hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex is very probably related to their actions on the O-adrenoreceptor-cAMP system as stated.
