| the tuberous sclerosis gene on chromosome 9q34 acts as a growth suppressor. | we have previously demonstrated allele loss in hamartomas from patients with tuberous sclerosis for markers spanning the tuberous sclerosis gene on chromosome 16q13.3 (tsc2). germline deletions in the tsc2 gene have been shown in 5% of patients with tuberous sclerosis (tsc). these data support our hypothesis that the tsc2 gene acts as a growth suppressor gene, analogous to the traditional tumour suppressor gene. we now report a tsc hamartoma showing allele loss for markers on chromosome 9q34 in ... | 1994 | 7849709 |
| enhanced sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies in a variant of equine infectious anemia virus is linked to amino acid substitutions in the surface unit envelope glycoprotein. | serial passage of the prototype (pr) cell-adapted wyoming strain of equine infectious anemia virus (eiav) in fetal donkey dermal (fdd) rather than fetal horse (designated fetal equine kidney [fek]) cell cultures resulted in the generation of a variant virus strain which produced accelerated cytopathic effects in fdd cells and was 100- to 1,000-fold more sensitive to neutralizing antibodies than its parent. this neutralization-sensitive variant was designated the fdd strain. although there were d ... | 1995 | 7853482 |
| specific restrictions in the progression of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus-induced disease resulting from single amino acid changes in the glycoproteins. | the pathogenesis of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (vee) was examined in the mouse model using v3000, a virus derived from a molecular clone of the trinidad donkey strain of vee. these results were compared in parallel experiments with avirulent mutants of vee derived by site-directed mutagenesis of the clone. adult mice, inoculated subcutaneously in their left rear footpad with v3000, were followed in a time course study for 6 days in which 15 organs were tested for histopathological chan ... | 1995 | 7856110 |
| sequence analyses of the p24 gene of borna disease virus in naturally infected horse, donkey and sheep. | by reverse transcriptase/pcr amplification and subsequent sequence determination of the p24 gene, the relatedness of borna disease virus (bdv) in various naturally infected animal species was determined. these results are indicative of a common ancestral virus pool and a remarkably low species barrier of bdv. comparison of 11 sequences to that of tissue culture adapted virus revealed that the homology among all isolates was at least 96.2% at the nucleotide level, and 97% at the amino acid level. ... | 1994 | 7856315 |
| morphometric analysis of sardinian breed donkeys. | the main somatometric characteristics of 15 sardinian breed adult donkeys (6 male and 9 female) were studied. analysis of the somatic measurements and zoometric indexes show subjects of small build of a mesomorph constitutional type. dimorphism between the sexes is slight and is limited to the rump area. the number of donkeys still to be found in sardinia is greatly reduced and urgent measures are needed to safeguard its animal genetic resource. | 2003 | 7857604 |
| effect of chronic renal failure on the abundance of mrna for enzymes of intermediary metabolism in kidney and liver. | in chronic renal failure (crf), renal ammoniagenesis and handling of ornithine cycle intermediates (ornithine, citrulline, and arginine) are disturbed. the present study examined the molecular mechanisms of these disturbances in kidney and liver of rats with moderate crf induced by 5/6 nephrectomy. the steady state level of mrna for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck) and argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) in both kidney and liver were unaffected by crf. on the other hand, that for phospha ... | 1994 | 7859037 |

| ultrastructure of the epithelium that lines the ductuli efferentes in domestic equidae, with particular reference to spermatophagy. | the epithelium that lines the ductuli efferentes in the horse, donkey and mule has been examined by electron microscopy. the epithelium consists of columnar ciliated and non-ciliated cells. lymphocytes and macrophages are also present, together with cells that are rich in lipofuscin. these 'lipofuscin-rich' cells are a peculiar feature of the excurrent ducts of equidae and are characterized by a large number of highly heterogeneous residual bodies. the general morphology of the epithelium and, i ... | 1994 | 7976167 |
| two loci for tuberous sclerosis: one on 9q34 and one on 16p13. | 32 families informative for the segregation of tuberous sclerosis (tsc) have been examined for genetic markers on chromosomes 9, 11, 12 and 16. in one large family there was clear evidence of linkage to markers on chromosome 16p13.3 (lodscore with d16s291 of 4.7 at theta = 0) but other families were too small to give individually convincing lodscores. combined results for all families gave positive results with abo/dbh on chromosome 9 (max lod 2.63) and with d16s291 on chromosome 16 (max lod 3.9 ... | 1994 | 7979156 |
| dystonia in ashkenazi jews: clinical characterization of a founder mutation. | a gene (dyt1) for idiopathic torsion dystonia maps to chromosome 9q34 in ashkenazi jewish families with early onset of symptoms. further, there is linkage disequilibrium between dyt1 and a particular haplotype of alleles at 9q34 loci in this population. this implies that a large proportion of early-onset idiopathic torsion dystonia in ashkenazi jews is due to a founder mutation in dyt1. to characterize the phenotypic range of this mutation, we studied 174 ashkenazi jewish individuals affected wi ... | 1994 | 7979224 |
| [characterization and quantification of dermatan sulfate from donkey skin]. | dermatan sulfate (ds), a recently known antithrombotic glycosaminoglycan, was isolated and purified from donkey skin. physiochemical characteristics of the glycan, including constituent analysis, electrophoretic behaviour, molecular mass, specific lyase degradations, ir and pmr spectra were described, using porcine skin-origin dermatan sulfate as a standard reference. contents of ds in donkey skin and its gelatinized preparations (ejiao) were also measured. results indicate that the presence of ... | 1994 | 7980859 |
| hyperhomocysteinemia as a possible role for atherosclerosis in capd patients. | it has been shown that hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease. in this study, we measured total plasma homocysteine in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (capd) patients and evaluated its correlation with atherosclerosis. subjects consisted of healthy volunteers, and hemodialysis (hd) and capd patients. fluoro-hplc was employed to estimate plasma levels of total homocysteine (hcy). plasma levels of total hcy were significantly higher in the capd patient ... | 1994 | 7999846 |
| the gene for familial dystonia with myoclonic jerks responsive to alcohol is not located on the distal end of 9q. | a gene (dyt1) for susceptibility to early-onset torsion dystonia in ashkenazi jewish and gentile kindreds is situated on chromosome 9q32-q34 in a 6-7 cm span between markers ak1 and ass. to determine whether transmission of familial dystonia with myoclonic jerks responsive to alcohol was consistent with a gene in this region, we studied the 37 members of a swedish family, of whom 20 were so affected. a lod score of < -2.00 from a two-point linkage analysis with six dna markers covering a 30 cm s ... | 1994 | 8004804 |
| characterization of a red blood cell antigen in donkeys and mules associated with neonatal isoerythrolysis. | a red cell antigen of donkeys and mules was identified using antibodies in serum from a mare which produced a mule foal affected with neonatal isoerythrolysis (ni). subsequently antibodies with similar activity were identified in the sera of other mares which had produced mule foals and were produced by immunization of horses with blood from donkeys. the antigen detected by these antibodies does not correspond to any recognized horse red cell alloantigen. this may be a xenoantigen since all donk ... | 1994 | 8010529 |
| contractility of lungs and air-tubes: experiments performed in 1840 by charles j.b. williams. | in the 18th century, some medical practitioners considered the main pathological feature of asthma to be the production of mucus. later, during the 19th century, airway smooth muscle contraction was recognized to be a possible cause of airflow obstruction. however, not until 1840 was the contractility of airway smooth muscle clearly established by charles j.b. williams, a famous london physician. in a number of innovative experiments in dogs, rabbits, livestock and even donkeys, he showed: 1) th ... | 1994 | 8013615 |
| genetic analysis of nucleotide triphosphatase activity in the mouse brain. | a ca(2+)- or mg(2+)-stimulated ecto-atpase is thought to regulate the hydrolysis of extracellular atp in nervous tissues. the hydrolysis of nucleotide triphosphates (ntps) was analyzed in brain microsomal fractions from crosses of dba/2j (d2) and c57bl/6j (b6) mice. the nucleotide triphosphatase (ntpase) activity was significantly reduced in d2 mice as compared to b6 mice, and b6d2f1 hybrids had activities intermediate to the parentals. a significant positive correlation was found between the hy ... | 1994 | 8056315 |
| relationship between plasma insulin and triglyceride concentrations in hypertriglyceridaemic donkeys. | hyperinsulinaemia is a commonly-observed characteristic of insulin resistance, and a reduction in insulin sensitivity is thought to be either a causative and/or symptomatic feature of equine hyperlipaemia. a positive correlation (r = 0.545, p = 0.0015) existed between plasma insulin and triglyceride concentrations determined in 31 donkeys with naturally occurring hyperlipidaemia/hyperlipaemia. greater insulin values tended to occur in the animals with an overweight body score. inter-animal varia ... | 1994 | 8073193 |
