Rare allelic forms of PRDM9 associated with childhood leukemogenesis
One of the most rapidly evolving genes in humans, PRDM9, is a key determinant of the distribution of meiotic recombination events. Mutations in this meiotic-specific gene have previously been associated with male infertility in humans and recent studies suggest that PRDM9 may be involved in pathological genomic rearrangements. In studying genomes from families with children affected by B-cell prec
Lack of association between hemolysin production and acute inflammation in human urinary tract infection
Hemolysins are cytolytic proteins which have been extensively characterized at the molecular level, however, their in vivo functions remain unclear. This study analyzed the association of hemolysin production with the inflammatory response in patients with urinary tract infection (UTI). Infants and children with their first episode of UTI (n = 644) were followed prospectively. The body temperature
Molecular characterization of a plasmid-borne (pGT633) erythromycin resistance determinant (ermGT) from lactobacillus reuteri 100-63
Lactobacillus reuteri 100-63 contains a 9.8 kb plasmid (pGT633) encoding resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin (MLS) type B antibiotics. The restriction endonucleases AccI, BamHI, Bcl I, EcoRI, EcoRV, HhaI, HindII, Hpa I, KpnI, SalI, and SspI were employed to establish a physical map of pGT633. Next, genetic transfer experiments were conducted to establish the host range of pGT633.
Suppressed antibody and interleukin-6 responses to acute pyelonephritis in pregnancy
This study examined the effect of pregnancy on the host response to acute pyelonephritis. Urine and serum samples were obtained at the time of diagnosis and after two weeks, from non-pregnant and pregnant women with acute pyelonephritis. The samples were analyzed for interleukin-6 (IL-6) and specific antibody activity to antigens extracted from the Escherichia coli strain infecting each patient. T
Stereo- And regioselective hydroboration of 1-exo-methylene pyranoses : Discovery of aryltriazolylmethyl C-galactopyranosides as selective galectin-1 inhibitors
Galectins are carbohydrate recognition proteins that bind carbohydrates containing galactose and are involved in cell signaling and cellular interactions, involving them in several diseases. We present the synthesis of (aryltriazolyl)methyl galactopyranoside galectin inhibitors using a highly diastereoselective hydroboration of C1-exo-methylene pyranosides giving inhibitors with fourfold or better

P-fimbriae trigger mucosal responses to Escherichia coli in the human urinary tract
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli elicit a host response that determines the severity of urinary tract infection (UTI). Specific adherence mechanisms allow the bacteria to initiate this process by targeting epithelial cells in the urinary tract mucosa. Epidemiological studies show a strong association of P-fimbriae with disease severity, suggesting that adherence mediated by these organelles has a di
P fimbriae enhance the early establishment of Escherichia coli in the human urinary tract
This study examined the role of P fimbriae in the establishment of bacteriuria. Patients (n = 17) were subjected to intravesical inoculation with an asymptomatic bacteriuria strain, Escherichia coli 83972, or its P-fimbriated (pap+/prs+) transformants. As shown by groupwise analysis, the pap+/prs+ transformants established bacteriuria more rapidly than E. coli 83972 (P = 0.021) and required a lowe
Urodynamic factors influence the duration of Escherichia coli bacteriuria in deliberately colonized cases
Purpose: We evaluated the influence of urodynamic factors on the establishment of bacteriuria, after deliberate intravesical inoculation with Escherichia coli. Materials and Methods: Nine women and 7 men with recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infections underwent intravesical injection of E. coli 83972. This strain had documented ability to persist in the urinary tract and it lacks expressed vir
Animal models of l-dopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease
Understanding the biological mechanisms of l-dopa-induced motor complications is dependent on our ability to investigate these phenomena in animal models of Parkinson's disease. The most common motor complications consist in wearing-off fluctuations and abnormal involuntary movements appearing when plasma levels of l-dopa are high, commonly referred to as peak-dose l-dopa-induced dyskinesia. Parki
Competetive microbial exclusion as treatment against complicated lower urinary tract infections
OBJECTIVE: Deliberate colonization of the lower urinary tract has been proposed as treatment against recurrent urinary tract infection - UTI. The bacteria chosen has to be able to colonize the urinary tract for longer periods without causing symptoms, and should be able to prevent manifest superinfections. MATERIALS: Sixteen patients (9 women and 7 males), all having a history of recurrent symptom
Intestinal carriage of p fimbriated escherichia coli and the susceptibility to urinary tract infection in young children
This prospective study analyzed the intestinal carriage of P fimbriated Escherichia coli as a host susceptibility factor in urinary tract infection (UTI). P fimbriation was defined by the pap and G ad hesin (papG1A2prsGJ96)genotypes. Children with UTI carried pap+E. coli in the fecal flora more often than healthy controls both at diagnosis (86% vs. 29%) and during infection-free intervals (40%; P
IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in pediatric acute leukemia
To investigate the frequency of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and 2 (IDH2) mutations in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), we sequenced these genes in diagnostic samples from 515 patients (227 AMLs and 288 ALLs). Somatic IDH1/IDH2 mutations were rare in ALL (N=1), but were more common in AML, occurring in 3.5% (IDH1 N=3 and IDH2 N=5), with the frequency h

Determining the impact of air-side cleaning for heat exchangers in ventilation systems
Cleaning coils can be an efficient way to reduce the need for reparations and maintain the functionality of a ventilation system. This study builds upon existing knowledge concerning the contamination of heat exchangers. Through field measurements on coils and heat-recovery units, a laboratory experiment on a coil, and a generic calculation example, this study determines the impact of sustained co
Bra vallersättning och kompensationsstöd? : Hur kan olika utformningar påverka jordbruket, miljön, och samhällsekonomin?
Positiva och negativa miljöeffekterVallersättningen och kompensationsstödet leder båda till att arealen vall och antalet nötkreatur ökar kraftigt. Utredningen konstaterar att effekten av vallodling på biologisk mångfald, både när det gäller sällsynta arter och ekosystemtjänster, är otillräckligt känd. Kompensationsstödet gör det företagsekonomiskt lönsamt att hävda betydligt större areal permanent
An Inv(16)(p13.3q24.3)-encoded CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion protein defines an aggressive subtype of pediatric acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
To define the mutation spectrum in non-Down syndrome acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (non-DS-AMKL), we performed transcriptome sequencing on diagnostic blasts from 14 pediatric patients and validated our findings in a recurrency/validation cohort consisting of 34 pediatric and 28 adult AMKL samples. Our analysis identified a cryptic chromosome 16 inversion (inv(16)(p13.3q24.3)) in 27% of pediatric

Identification of modifications procuring growth on xylose in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains carrying the Weimberg pathway
The most prevalent xylose-assimilating pathways in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, i.e. the xylose isomerase (XI) and the xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase (XR/XDH) pathways, channel the carbon flux through the pentose phosphate pathway and further into glycolysis. In contrast, the oxidative and non-phosphorylative bacterial Weimberg pathway channels the xylose carbon through five steps
