A versatile shuttle cosmid vector for the efficient construction of genomic libraries and for the cloning of fungal genes

A shuttle cosmid vector, pANsCos1, has been constructed for Escherichia coli and filamentous fungi. This vector contains two cos sequences separated by a single XbaI restriction site. pANsCos1 allows the efficient construction of representative genomic libraries from as little as 15–20 g of genomic DNA. Due to the presence of a functional hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) transformation of fungal protoplasts with pANsCos1, or derivatives of it, results in the formation of hygromycin B-resistant transformants. The T7 and T3 RNA polymerase promoter sequences flanking the cloning site, in combination with two adjacent NotI sites facilitate genomic walking and the rapid construction of restriction maps of cloned inserts.Dedicated to Professor Dr. K. Esser on the occasion of his 70th birthday     

Arthrogryposis,renal dysfunction and cholestasis syndrome: Report of five patients from three Italian families

We report on five patients from three families with neurogenic arthrogryposis, cholestasis and tubular renal dysfunction. Despite a similar clinical picture the liver histology showed a broad pathological spectrum, ranging from pigment storage to parenchymal giant cell transformation and ductopenia. The findings are compared with those of other cases from the literature in search of a correct nosology of the syndrome characterized by arthrogryposis, renal and liver disease.Conclusion We propose to consider the picture of arthrogryposis, renal tubular dysfunction and cholestasis as a single syndrome.     

A novel strategy for the isolation of defined pyrG mutants and the development of a site-specific integration system for Aspergillus awamori

A homologous gene transfer system for Aspergillus awamori for site-specific integration is described, based on two components. First, a defined A. awamori pyrG mutant strain constructed by a selection strategy for gene-replacement in fungi. Second, a vector with a homologous pyrG selection marker containing a defined mutation at a site different from that of the mutations in the pyrG gene of the defined mutant strain. Defined mutation in the A. awamori pyrG gene, isolated from a genomic library by heterologous hybridisation with the A. niger pyrG gene as a probe, were introduced by specifically altering sequences at restriction sites in the coding region of the gene. After transformation of the A. awamori wild-type strain with vectors containing these mutated pyrG genes, and selection for 5-fluoro-orotic acid resistance (5-FOA^R), on the average 60% of the 5-FOA^R colonies originated from replacement of the wild-type pyrG gene by the mutated pyrG allele. After transformation of a mutant strain, carrying a mutation near the 5 end of the pyrG gene with vectors containing a mutation near the 3 end of the pyrG gene, 35% of the resulting transformants contained one copy of the vector at the pyrG locus.     

当归补血汤对细胞免疫调节作用及超微结构的影响

本实验采用环磷酰胺(CY)制造免疫功能低下小鼠的动物模型,研究当归补血汤组成药物的不同比例配伍,对机体免疫功能调节作用的影响。实验过程中将当归、黄芪分别配制成1∶1(A方)、1∶5(B方)、5∶1(C方)的不同比例中药方剂,对小鼠施以灌胃,并设对照组,以WBC总数、T淋巴细胞转化率及胸腺细胞超微结构变化作为检测指标。结果表明:三组不同比例配伍的方剂,对小鼠机体免疫功能均有调节作用。三组之间比较,提高WBC总数以A方效果最明显;三个方剂均有促进淋巴细胞转化的作用,但转化率三者之间无明显差异;保护胸腺细胞作用以B方效果最好。应用:当归补血汤对机体免疫功能有明显调节作用,但不同比例配伍,对机体免疫功能调节作用各有所侧重     

Blastic transformation of mantle cell lymphoma: genetic evidence for a clonal link between the two stages of the tumour

AIMS: The blastic variant of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL-BV) may develop through histological transformation of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, the clonal link between the tumour cells of MCL and transformed MCL-BV has not been established at the genetic level. To investigate this link longitudinal molecular genetic studies have been performed in two cases of MCL that showed morphological transformation to MCL-BV. METHODS AND RESULTS: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nucleotide sequence analyses of the complementary determining region 3 (CDR) of the immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain (H) gene were performed to identify clone-specific rearrangements. In both cases, nucleotide sequence analysis revealed common clone-specific IgH gene rearrangements in MCL and subsequent MCL-BV. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide genetic evidence for the common clonal origin of MCL and subsequently developed MCL-BV.     

Steady-state kinetics of imipramine in patients

Steady-state plasma level kinetics were studied in 76 patients given imipramine (IP) 150 to 225 mg/day for 2–5 weeks. IP was given in three divided doses at 8.00 a.m., 1.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. Plasma concentrations of IP and its active metabolite desipramine (DMI) were determined by quantitative in situ thin-layer chromatography. The plasma levels of IP and DMI showed pronounced flucutations throughout the day with a ratio of about 2 between highest and lowest level. Patients with steady-state levels of IP and/or DMI below 50 g/l reached this within 1 week of treatment. Patients with higher steady-state levels reached steady-state concentrations within 2–3 weeks. There were some intraindividual fluctuations in plasma levels from week to week after steady state had been reached (coefficient of variation: 10–20%). Interindividually, the steady-state levels corrected to a dose of 3.5 mg/kg per day varied considerably: IP: 6–356 g/l, DMI: 24–659 g/l and IP+DMI: 58–809 g/l. The steady-state plasma levels showed a skew distribution that became normal by logarithmic transformation. The IP/DMI ratio ranged from 0.07 to 5.5 with a median value of 0.47. Compared to data from amitriptyline treated patients the IP/DMI ratios had significantly lower median value and larger variation than the corresponding plasma level ratios of amitriptyline/nortriptyline. Several statistically significant differences in steady-state levels between age groups were found. For IP: Women aged 30–39 had lower levels than women aged 20–29, 40–49, and 50–59, and men aged 50–59 and 60–65; men aged 30–39 had lower levels than men aged 60–65. For DMI: Women aged 30–39 had lower levels than women aged 50–59.
