[arthroscopy of degenerative lesions of the internal meniscus. classification and treatment].in reference to 310 degenerative meniscal lesions (dml), we are proposing to classify these lesions into five types. they must be differentiated from arthrosis to which they are not automatically associated, even if the presence of cartilaginous lesions appears to be an important prognostic factor. likewise, studies by age groups mix pure traumatic lesions and properly so called dmls (which, by definition, do not involve a true initial trauma); the role of micro-traumas seems however probable. i ...20123602906

central nervous system lesions and advanced ovarian cancer.over the past 5 years we have seen seven cases of central nervous system tumors in patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian carcinoma. these have ranged in location from the conus medullaris to the brain and have varied in time of occurrence from the time of cancer diagnosis to 63 months following surgery. a diagnosis of metastatic ovarian carcinoma was established in six of the cases, while one patient had a second primary malignancy. all cases had prodromal and localizing neurologic symptom ...20123366397
enhancement of cytogenetic damage and of antineoplastic effect by caffeine in ehrlich ascites tumor cells treated with cyclophosphamide in vivo.enhanced cytogenetic damage by cyclophosphamide (cp) was observed when ehrlich ascites tumor cells were exposed in vivo to nontoxic concentrations of caffeine. one h before i.p. injection of 5-bromodeoxyuridine adsorbed to activated charcoal ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mice treated i.p. with cp appear to have a dose-dependent increase in sister chromatid exchange rates and cell division delays. caffeine increased the survival time of the ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mice treated with cp and m ...20123342394
a study comparing transcervical with transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (cvs).chorionic villus sampling (cvs) was performed in 50 anaesthetized patients before therapeutic abortion by the transabdominal route and then by the transcervical route. the two methods of villus sampling were equally successful in obtaining villi but the transcervical method was significantly better at obtaining chorionic villi greater than 10 mg in weight (chi 2 13.92 p less than 0.001). placental position did not affect villus recovery with either sampling method.20123342211

ifnγ inhibits the cytosolic replication of shigella flexneri via the cytoplasmic rna sensor rig-i.the activation of host cells by interferon gamma (ifnγ) is essential for inhibiting the intracellular replication of most microbial pathogens. although significant advances have been made in identifying ifnγ-dependent host factors that suppress intracellular bacteria, little is known about how ifnγ enables cells to recognize, or restrict, the growth of pathogens that replicate in the host cytoplasm. the replication of the cytosolic bacterial pathogen shigella flexneri is significantly inhibited ...201222912573
temperature depended role of shigella flexneri invasion plasmid on the interaction with acanthamoeba castellanii.shigella flexneri is a gram-negative bacterium causing the diarrhoeal disease shigellosis in humans. the virulence genes required for invasion are clustered on a large 220 kb plasmid encoding type three secretion system (ttss) apparatus and virulence factors such as adhesions and invasion plasmid antigens (ipa). the bacterium is transmitted by contaminated food, water, or from person to person. acanthamoebae are free-living amoebae (fla) which are found in diverse environments and isolated from ...201222518151
functional analysis of nopm, a novel e3 ubiquitin ligase (nel) domain effector of rhizobium sp. strain ngr234.type 3 effector proteins secreted via the bacterial type 3 secretion system (t3ss) are not only virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria, but also influence symbiotic interactions between nitrogen-fixing nodule bacteria (rhizobia) and leguminous host plants. in this study, we characterized nopm (nodulation outer protein m) of rhizobium sp. strain ngr234, which shows sequence similarities with novel e3 ubiquitin ligase (nel) domain effectors from the human pathogens shigella flexneri and salomone ...201222615567
spontaneous formation of ipab ion channels in host cell membranes reveals how shigella induces pyroptosis in macrophages.the gram-negative bacterium shigella flexneri invades the colonic epithelium and causes bacillary dysentery. s. flexneri requires the virulence factor invasion plasmid antigen b (ipab) to invade host cells, escape from the phagosome and induce macrophage cell death. the mechanism by which ipab functions remains unclear. here, we show that purified ipab spontaneously oligomerizes and inserts into the plasma membrane of target cells forming cation selective ion channels. after internalization, ipa ...201222951981
nlrc4 inflammasome-mediated production of il-1β modulates mucosal immunity in the lung against gram-negative bacterial infection.bacterial flagellin is critical to mediate nlrc4 inflammasome-dependent caspase-1 activation. however, shigella flexneri, a nonflagellated bacterium, and a flagellin (flic) knockout strain of pseudomonas aeruginosa are known to activate nlrc4 in bone marrow-derived macrophages. furthermore, the flagellin-deficient flic strain of p. aeruginosa was used in a mouse model of peritonitis to show the requirement of nlrc4. in a model of pulmonary p. aeruginosa infection, flagellin was shown to be essen ...201222547706
common changes in global gene expression induced by rna polymerase inhibitors in shigella flexneri.characterization of expression profile of organisms in response to antimicrobials provides important information on the potential mechanism of action of the drugs. the special expression signature can be used to predict whether other drugs act on the same target. here, the common response of shigella flexneri to two inhibitors of rna polymerase was examined using gene expression profiling. consistent with similar effects of the two drugs, the gene expression profiles indicated that responses of ...201222428000
architecture of the major component of the type iii secretion system export apparatus.type iii secretion systems (t3sss) are bacterial membrane-embedded nanomachines designed to export specifically targeted proteins from the bacterial cytoplasm. secretion through t3ss is governed by a subset of inner membrane proteins termed the 'export apparatus'. we show that a key member of the shigella flexneri export apparatus, mxia, assembles into a ring essential for secretion in vivo. the ring-forming interfaces are well-conserved in both nonflagellar and flagellar homologs, implying that ...201223222644
a novel plasmid-encoded serotype conversion mechanism through addition of phosphoethanolamine to the o-antigen of shigella flexneri.shigella flexneri is the major pathogen causing bacillary dysentery in developing countries. s. flexneri is divided into at least 16 serotypes based on the combination of antigenic determinants present in the o-antigen. all the serotypes (except for serotype 6) share a basic o-unit containing one n-acetyl-d-glucosamine and three l-rhamnose residues, whereas differences between the serotypes are conferred by phage-encoded glucosylation and/or o-acetylation. serotype xv is a newly emerged and the ...201223049947
storing drinking-water in copper pots kills contaminating diarrhoeagenic bacteria.microbially-unsafe water is still a major concern in most developing countries. although many water-purification methods exist, these are expensive and beyond the reach of many people, especially in rural areas. ayurveda recommends the use of copper for storing drinking-water. therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of copper pot on microbially-contaminated drinking-water. the antibacterial effect of copper pot against important diarrhoeagenic bacteria, including vibrio ...201222524115
distinct roles of secreted htra proteases from gram-negative pathogens in cleaving the junctional protein and tumor suppressor e-cadherin.the periplasmic chaperone and serine protease htra is important for bacterial stress responses and protein quality control. recently, we discovered that htra from helicobacter pylori is secreted and cleaves e-cadherin to disrupt the epithelial barrier, but it remained unknown whether this maybe a general virulence mechanism. here, we show that important other pathogens including enteropathogenic escherichia coli, shigella flexneri, and campylobacter jejuni, but not neisseria gonorrhoeae, cleaved ...201222337879
quantitative rt-pcr profiling of the rabbit immune response: assessment of acute shigella flexneri infection.quantitative reverse transcription pcr analysis is an important tool to monitor changes in gene expression in animal models. the rabbit is a widely accepted and commonly used animal model in the study of human diseases and infections by viral, fungal, bacterial and protozoan pathogens. only a limited number of rabbit genes have, however, been analyzed by this method as the rabbit genome sequence remains unfinished. recently, increasing coverage of the genome has permitted the prediction of a gro ...201222675469
cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland.cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare lesion and is seldom examined radiographically. in our case, on staging of gynecological carcinoma, a tumor with calcifications was found in the right adrenal region. on sonography it was of mixed echogenicity, enhanced only poorly on computed tomography and had long-standing contrast-filled lakes on angiography. surgery revealed a cavernous hemangioma.20123522045
