Efficient computation of lod scores: genotype elimination, genotype redefinition, and hybrid maximum likelihood algorithms.
Calculation of multilocus lod scores presents challenging problems in numerical analysis, combinatories, programming, and genetics. It is possible to accelerate these computations by exploiting the simple pedigree structure of a CEPH-type pedigree consisting of a nuclear family plus all four grandparents. Lathrop et al...

The switch from larval to adult globin gene expression in Xenopus laevis is mediated by erythroid cells from distinct compartments.
The transition of hemoglobins during metamorphosis of Xenopus laevis involves replacement of the larval erythrocytes by adult ones, suggesting that the developmental control of this event depends upon the growth characteristics of the precursor cells. To identify the erythroid precursor cells and to investigate their d...

The results of screening individuals referred to the Family Cancer Clinic at St Mark's Hospital from 1986 are presented. Colonoscopy was performed in 644 asymptomatic individuals (from 436 families) with a family history of colorectal cancer. Sixty nine (15.8%) of the families fulfilled the Amsterdam criteria for the h...

Total synthesis of (+/-)- and (-)-actinophyllic acid.
Development of efficient sequences for the total syntheses of (+/-)-actinophyllic acid (rac-1) and (-)-actinophyllic acid (1) are described. The central step in these syntheses is the aza-Cope/Mannich reaction, which constructs the previously unknown hexacyclic ring system of actinophyllic acid in one step from much si...

Estrogen receptor modulators and down regulators: optimal use in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.
Endocrine treatments have been used in breast cancer since 1896, when Beatson reported on the results of oophorectomy for advanced breast cancer. In the second half of the last century, different endocrine-based compounds were developed and, in this review, the role of the selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)...

Pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral drugs in anatomical sanctuary sites: the male and female genital tract.
HIV resides within anatomical 'sanctuary sites', where local drug exposure and viral dynamics may differ significantly from the systemic compartment. Suboptimal antiretroviral concentrations in the genital tract may result in compartmentalized viral replication, selection of resistant mutations and possible re-entry of...

Cost-effective pharmacotherapy for inhalant allergic rhinitis.
The otolaryngologist is one of the decision leaders for patients who seek to learn more about their problems of respiratory allergy. Although these patients do not have a life-threatening illness, the reduction of quality of life and performance can significantly restrict their overall sense of well being. Patients wit...

Inherited retinal venous beading.
Four affected family members in two generations demonstrated an unusual, probably autosomal dominant, retinal vascular disorder called inherited retinal venous beading. The proband had retinal neovascularization, exudation, and vitreous hemorrhage. The other three affected family members had significant venous beading ...

Genetic and environmental influences on type A behavior pattern: evidence from twins and their parents in the Netherlands Twin Register.
OBJECTIVE: There is a dose-response positive relationship between type A behavior (TABP) and cardiovascular disease-related symptoms. Estimates of heritability for TABP from previous studies vary; this might be explained by limitations in the sizes and compositions of the samples. METHODS: This study combines a large ...

Assessment of sensitivity and specificity of first, second, and third generation EIA for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 in oral fluid.
The performances of three blood-based immunoassays test kits were compared with regard to their ability to detect HIV-1 antibody in oral fluid. It was found that these three kits differ in their ability to detect HIV-1 antibody. Notably, a third generation EIA which has been shown to possess superior sensitivity for an...

Minocycline attenuates gentamicin induced hair cell loss in neonatal cochlear cultures.
Minocycline, a second-generation tetracycline antibiotic used against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, protects against a wide range of neurodegenerative disorders by inhibiting caspases, iNOS and the release of cytochrome c. Since aminoglycoside antibiotics damage sensory hair cells in the inner ear by activa...

[The occurrence of micronuclei in generations of HeLa cells irradiated at low doses].
The frequency of cells with pronuclei was determined among the cells subject to acute and long-term treatment and their descendants. It remained unchanged after acute irradiation (60Co) at doses of 10-40 cGy but was elevated in three generations after long-term irradiation (137Cs, 20-40 cGy) and residence in the Cherno...

Molecular biology of plasminogen activators: what are the clinical implications of drug design?
The initial work on thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focused on intracoronary administration of streptokinase. Continuing research has given rise to the development of both second- and third-generation agents and consequent refinements in thrombolytic regimens. Intravenous recombinant tissue p...

Ethnicity as a correlate of the uptake of the first dose of mumps, measles and rubella vaccine.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether a relationship exists between ethnicity and uptake of the first dose of mumps, measles and rubella (MMR1) vaccination, and to study important factors influencing the parental decision about vaccination. Examination of routine data on uptake of MMR1 vaccine among children...

A genetic map of microsatellite markers on rat chromosome 7.
Nine microsatellite loci were mapped to rat Chromosome (Chr) 7 by genetic linkage and somatic cell hybrid analysis. These loci include the gene encoding a member of the IID sub-family of cytochrome P450 (Cyp2d), a gene with repetitive sequences expressed during myotube formation (D7Arb1e), four anonymous loci, D7Arb81,...

Antisense expression of a gene encoding a calcium-binding protein in transgenic tobacco leads to altered morphology and enhanced chlorophyll.
Entamoeba histolytica contains a novel calcium-binding protein like calmodulin,which was discovered earlier,and we have reported the presence of its homologue(s)and a dependent protein kinase in plants.To understand the functions of these in plants,a cDNA encoding a calcium-binding protein isolated from Entamoeba histo...

Development of a scalable process for high-yield lentiviral vector production by transient transfection of HEK293 suspension cultures.
BACKGROUND: Lentiviral vectors (LV) offer several advantages over other gene delivery vectors. Their potential for the integration and long-term expression of therapeutic genes renders them an interesting tool for gene and cell therapy interventions. However, large-scale LV production remains an important challenge fo...

SV40-transformed fragile (X) amniocytes.
We report SV-40 transformation of female and male fragile X [fra(X)] amniocytes. In the transformants, fra(X) (q27.3) was detected in the 7th passage (9 cell generations) in fra(X) female amniocytes. It was conserved until at least the 20th passage (42 cell generations) although the frequency was reduced or became diff...
