Published: February 2008

AbstractIntroduction:  Rickettsia helvetica has been proposed as an aetiological agent in sarcoidosis.Objectives:  To assess the prevalence of plasma anti‐Rickettsia antibodies in a Danish population of patients with sarcoidosis and control subjects. In addition, we evaluated the presence of plasma antinuclear antibodies (ANAs).Methods:  Plasma samples from 49 consecutive patients (27 male, 22 female, median age 38 years, interquartile range 32–51 years) were compared with plasma from 51 age‐ and sex‐matched controls (28 male, 23 female, median age 40 years, interquartile range 33–49 years), using a commercially available immunofluorescence assay testing for antibodies towards spotted fever group and typhus group Rickettsia as well as an assay for ANA. We obtained information regarding tick exposure and sarcoid disease manifestations from the medical records.Results:  The prevalence of antibodies to Rickettsia in patients with sarcoidosis 1/49 (2%) was not significantly different from the prevalence in the controls 4/51 (8%). The prevalence of ANA was 2/49 (4%) in the patients and 3/51 (6%) in the controls.Conclusions:  The results do not support the hypothesis that Rickettsia or ANAs should be involved in the pathogenesis of sarcoidosis. Seventy‐one per cent of the patients were under treatment with prednisolone in the 3 months leading up to the blood sample. We assume that antibody‐related serological methods for various reasons could be inadequate to diagnose a chronic rickettsial infection.Please cite this paper as: Svendsen CB, Milman N, Høier‐Madsen M, Dziegiel MH and Krogfelt KA.

Published: February 2008

Abstract
To monitor changes in heat content and geostrophic volume transport of abyssal water accurately, 50 moored conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) recorders used for density measurements were calibrated in situ by simultaneous observations with accurate shipboard CTDs. Comparisons of the data from the moored and shipboard CTDs showed pressure sensitivities of 0–3 mK at 6000 dbar for the temperature sensors of the moored CTDs. From the in situ calibrations, the uncertainties of the moored CTD data for the deep ocean (≥3000 dbar) were estimated to be 0.6 dbar, 0.6 mK, and 0.0026 for pressure, temperature, and salinity, respectively, relative to the shipboard CTD reference. Time drifts of the moored CTD data, estimated from the in situ calibrations before and after 17- or 14-month mooring deployments in the deep ocean, were considerably smaller than typical stabilities as specified by the manufacturer. However, time drifts of the pressure sensors tended to be negative and the result suggests that pressure data from most present Argo floats, which use the same type of pressure sensor, may have a systematic negative bias. Time series salinity data calculated from the in situ–calibrated CTDs were slightly biased (mean of +0.0014) with respect to the shipboard CTD salinity data, based on potential temperature–salinity relationships, possibly due to a disequilibrium of the moored CTD conductivity sensors during the in situ calibrations.
Indinavir influences biological function of dendritic cells and stimulates antifungal immunity

Published: February 2008

AbstractIn this study, we analyzed the possibility that Indinavir (IDV), a well-known protease inhibitor (PI) used in highly active antiretroviral therapy, could affect immune response against the opportunistic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. In particular, the quality of dendritic cell (DC) response was analyzed. The results reported here show that IDV treatment induces an expansion of DC with CD8α phenotype in spleens of infected hosts. Splenic CD11c+ DC expressed elevated costimulatory molecules such as CD40 and CD80, showed an increased expression of mRNA for proinflammatory cytokines, and secreted abundant IL-12. Integration of all aforementioned regulatory effects results in development of an efficient, T cell-protective response that reflects a consistent reduction in fungus colonization at a cerebral level. These results could help to elucidate the immunoregulatory activity of PI and point out the beneficial effects of IDV in regulating DC functions and antifungal activity. Therefore, although new PI are being introduced in the clinical setting, nevertheless, given its low cost and proven efficacy, IDV could still be considered a potential key compound in the treatment of HIV in resource-limited settings.
The characteristics of dorsal-root ganglia and sensory innervation of the hip in rats

Published: February 2008

Using a rat model the characteristics of the sensory neurones of the dorsal-root ganglia (DRG) innervating the hip were investigated by retrograde neurotransport and immunohistochemistry. Fluoro-Gold solution (FG) was injected into the left hip of ten rats. Seven days later the DRG from both sides between T12 and L6 were harvested. The number of FG-labelled calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive or isolectin B4-binding neurones were counted. The FG-labelled neurones were distributed throughout the left DRGs between T13 and L5, primarily at L2, L3, and L4. Few FG-labelled isolectin B4-binding neurones were present in the DRGs of either side between T13 and L5, but calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive neurones made up 30% of all FG-labelled neurones. Our findings may explain the referral of pain from the hip to the thigh or lower leg corresponding to the L2, L3 and L4 levels. Since most neurones are calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive peptide-containing neurones, they may have a more significant role in the perception of pain in the hip as peptidergic DRG neurones.
The rate of urinary cortisol excretion at work is persistently elevated in women at familial risk for breast cancer

Published: February 2008

AbstractWe recently reported that healthy women at familial risk for breast cancer (FH+) have higher urinary cortisol levels at work than women without familial risk (FH−). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether this group difference persisted over a 1‐month period. Subjects were healthy women (FH+, N = 42, age = 37.6 ± 9.3, FH−, N = 93, age 38.4 ± 9.0) employed primarily in clerical or technical positions at three medical centers in New York City who collected timed urine samples in three contrasting daily environments, at work (∼11AM–3PM), home (∼6PM–10PM) and during sleep (∼10PM–6AM) on 2 mid‐week workdays ∼1 month apart. Two‐way repeated measures ANOVA revealed that cortisol excretion differed across the environments (P < 0.001), and that there was also a significant interaction between daily environment and family history group (P < 0.049), such that FH+ women maintained higher cortisol excretion at work over the 2 days than FH− women. A Bland–Altman plot showed that both overall and by family history group, the rate of cortisol excretion at work was generally reproducible, although there was a heteroscadasticity in the relationship that likely reflected excessive stressfulness on one of the study days in a small minority of subjects. These results suggest that the presence of a potent background stressor (familial breast cancer risk) can influence more acute cortisol responses in daily life over time. Am. J. Hum.

Hormonal correlates of ontogeny in baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis) and mangabeys (Cercocebus atys)

Published: February 2008

AbstractThis study investigates the relationship between serum hormone levels and morphometrics during ontogeny in olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis) and sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys), to test hypotheses about the endocrine regulation of species size differences. First, we expect that levels of hormones and binding proteins predict size change during ontogeny in both species. Second, a high level of integration among the hormones and binding proteins analyzed is expected, with the implication that they act in combination to influence the development of body size and shape. Utilizing a mixed longitudinal sample, we compare change in 18 different measurements, which reflect overall size growth as well as growth in length and circumference, with levels of six growth‐related hormones and binding proteins. We examine the relationship between hormone and binding protein levels and morphometrics, using multivariate analyses and “arithmetically‐estimated” velocity curves of hormones, binding proteins, to characterize how the endocrine factors analyzed relate to growth. Results suggest that levels of these endocrine factors can be used to predict local and overall growth during ontogeny and that integration between multiple hormone axes is indicated. While important for growth in both species, ontogenetic changes in hormone and binding protein levels are more tightly correlated with changes in morphometric measurements in baboons than mangabeys. These results have important implications for understanding why some smaller‐bodied species have higher absolute growth‐related hormone levels than larger‐bodied species.

The MARDi Cascade: A Michael‐Initiated Domino‐Multicomponent Approach for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Seven‐Membered Rings
Authors: Coquerel Yoann , Filippini Marie‐Hélène , Bensa David , Rodriguez Jean 
Published: February 2008

AbstractThe MARDi cascade is a recently invented three‐component Michael‐initiated condensation involving 1,3‐dicarbonyl derivatives. It allows regio‐ and stereocontrolled access to a variety of functionalised and substituted seven‐membered rings. The substitution array can be diastereoselectively modulated by appropriate choice of the reaction partners, and the reaction allows the control of up to five newly created stereocentres and a complete chiral induction in the case of an optically active ketone precursor. The high level of diastereoselectivity observed has been attributed to total thermodynamic control of the reaction. The attractiveness of the present domino three‐component approach to seven‐membered rings resides in the diversity of carbo‐ and heterocyclic structures that can be accessed with total regiocontrol and high stereocontrol by starting from simple substrates, under user and environmentally friendly conditions, as now required in modern organic chemistry.
