Diffusely adhering Escherichia coli strains harboring Afa/Dr adhesins (Afa/Dr DAEC) have been associated with diarrhea and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The present work is the first extensive molecular study of a Afa/Dr DAEC strain using the representational difference analysis technique. We have searched for DNA sequences present in strain C1845, recovered from a diarrheagenic child, but absent from a nonpathogenic K-12 strain. Strain C1845 harbors part of a pathogenicity island (PAI(CFT073)) and several iron transport systems found in other E. coli pathovars. We did not find genes encoding factors known to subvert host cell proteins, such as type III secretion system or effector proteins. Several C1845-specific sequences are homologous to putative virulence genes or show no homology with known sequences, and we have analyzed their distribution among Afa/Dr and non-Afa/Dr clinical isolates and among strains from the E. coli Reference Collection. Three C1845-specific sequences (MO30, S109, and S111) have a high prevalence (77 to 80%) among Afa/Dr strains and a low prevalence (12 to 23%) among non-Afa/Dr strains. In addition, our results indicate that strain IH11128, an Afa/Dr DAEC strain recovered from a patient with a UTI, is genetically closely related to strain C1845.

Native major surface protein 1 (MSP1) of Anaplasma marginale, composed of covalently associated MSP1a and MSP1b proteins, stimulates protective immunity in cattle against homologous and heterologous strain challenge. Protective immunity against pathogens in the family Anaplasmataceae involves both CD4(+) T cells and neutralizing immunoglobulin G. Thus, an effective vaccine should contain both CD4(+) T- and B-lymphocyte epitopes that will elicit strong memory responses upon infection with homologous and heterologous strains. Previous studies demonstrated that the predominant CD4(+) T-cell response in MSP1 vaccinates is directed against the MSP1a subunit. The present study was designed to identify conserved CD4(+) T-cell epitopes in MSP1a presented by a broadly represented subset of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules that would be suitable for inclusion in a recombinant vaccine. Transmembrane protein prediction analysis of MSP1a from the Virginia strain revealed a large hydrophilic domain (HD), extending from amino acids (aa) 1 to 366, and a hydrophobic region extending from aa 367 to 593. The N terminus (aa 1 to 67) includes one 28-aa form A repeat and one 29-aa form B repeat, which each contain an antibody neutralization-sensitive epitope [Q(E)ASTSS]. In MSP1 vaccinates, recombinant MSP1a HD (aa 1 to 366) stimulated recall proliferative responses that were comparable to those against whole MSP1a excluding the repeat region (aa 68 to 593). Peptide mapping determined a minimum of five conserved epitopes in aa 151 to 359 that stimulated CD4(+) T cells from cattle expressing DR-DQ haplotypes common in Holstein-Friesian breeds. Peptides representing three epitopes (aa 231 to 266, aa 270 to 279, and aa 290 to 319) were stimulatory for CD4(+) T-cell clones and restricted by DR. A DQ-restricted CD4(+) T-cell epitope, present in the N-terminal form B repeat (VSSQSDQASTSSQLG), was also mapped using T-cell clones from one vaccinate. Although form B repeat-specific T cells did not recognize the form A repeat peptide (VSSQS_EASTSSQLG), induction of T-cell anergy by this peptide was ruled out. The presence of multiple CD4(+) T-cell epitopes in the MSP1a HD, in addition to the neutralization-sensitive epitope, supports the testing of this immunogen for induction of protective immunity against A. marginale challenge.

The aim of this study is to measure the level of both the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme and its substrate, superoxide radicals, in the wall of varicose veins. A total of 44 vein specimens were collected from 24 patients who underwent surgery for varicose veins at Asir Central Hospital (ACH), Abha, Saudi Arabia during the period from October 1999 to November 2000. The patients were 4 males and 20 females with a mean age of 35.3+/-SD 10.4 years (15-62 years). At operation, vein specimens were collected from both the stripped, mid-thigh long saphenous vein (LSV) and the avulsed distal calf varicosities, as appropriate. The samples were processed and both the SOD level and the superoxide radicals concentration were estimated using spectrophotometry. The mean SOD level in the distal calf varicosities (14.7+/-6.0 units/mg protein) was significantly higher than that in the mid-thigh LSV (8.2+/-2.9 units/mg protein, P<0.05). The mean superoxide radical concentration in the distal calf varicosities (69.5+/-11.9 nmol/ml) was also significantly higher than that in the mid-thigh LSV (33.8+/-10.5 nmol/ml, P<0.05). These results suggest that superoxide radicals play an important role in the pathogenesis of varicose veins.

Mycobacterium microti is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex that causes tuberculosis in voles. Most strains of M. microti are harmless for humans, and some have been successfully used as live tuberculosis vaccines. In an attempt to identify putative virulence factors of the tubercle bacilli, genes that are absent from the avirulent M. microti but present in human pathogen M. tuberculosis or Mycobacterium bovis were searched for. A minimal set of 50 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones that covers almost all of the genome of M. microti OV254 was constructed, and individual BACs were compared to the corresponding BACs from M. bovis AF2122/97 and M. tuberculosis H37Rv. Comparison of pulsed-field gel-separated DNA digests of BAC clones led to the identification of 10 regions of difference (RD) between M. microti OV254 and M. tuberculosis. A 14-kb chromosomal region (RD1(mic)) that partly overlaps the RD1 deletion in the BCG vaccine strain was missing from the genomes of all nine tested M. microti strains. This region covers 13 genes, Rv3864 to Rv3876, in M. tuberculosis, including those encoding the potent ESAT-6 and CFP-10 antigens. In contrast, RD5(mic), a region that contains three phospholipase C genes (plcA to -C), was missing from only the vole isolates and was present in M. microti strains isolated from humans. Apart from RD1(mic) and RD5(mic) other M. microti-specific deleted regions have been identified (MiD1 to MiD3). Deletion of MiD1 has removed parts of the direct repeat region in M. microti and thus contributes to the characteristic spoligotype of M. microti strains.

The innate ability of Streptococcus pneumoniae to resist complement activation and complement-mediated phagocytosis may be a direct consequence of the ability of the bacteria to bind components of the complement regulatory system. One such component, factor H (fH), is a crucial fluid-phase negative regulator of the alternative pathway of complement and is utilized by a number of pathogenic organisms to resist complement attack. The pneumococcal surface protein C (PspC [also known as CbpA] and SpsA) has been shown to bind fH, although the exact binding site within one or more of the 20 short consensus repeats (SCRs) of the molecule is not known. The purpose of the current study was to map specific SCRs on fH responsible for this binding. Initial experiments utilizing type 2 pneumococcal strain D39 and its isogenic PspC-negative derivative (D39/pspC mutant) showed that fH binding was PspC dependent. A purified recombinant protein derivative of PspC that lacked the proline-rich region (PspCDeltaPro) had a reduced binding efficiency for fH, thereby directly showing the importance of this region for the fH interaction. We have specifically shown by inhibition experiments that SCRs responsible for heparin and C3b binding of fH are not involved in binding PspC and the interaction between fH and PspC is largely hydrophobic, since no inhibition was observed in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl. Construction of SCR proteins encompassing the whole fH molecule showed that SCRs 8 to 15 (SCR 8-15) mediated binding to PspC. Further localization experiments revealed that SCR 13 and SCR 15 were required for full binding, although partial binding was retained when either SCR was removed.

Due to the complexity , the biological process of hair growth is still a work in progress. Nonetheless, several therapeutic methods including prescription medications, transplant surgery, nutritional suppelements, and even snake oils have been in use to help those who attempt to restore their hair. None of these approaches are perfect due to the heterogeneity in the causes that underlie hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these chemical drugs and hair transplantation operations are accompanied by undesirable side effects.

Hair Million of Dream Pharm provides an alternative approach to hair loss problems. Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on the authentic Chinese herbs from Chinese Pharmacopoeia actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss among a significant fraction of people who take it as suggested. We still do not understand the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to stop hair loss and promote hair growth, despite all the positive anecdotal demonstration. Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical analysis has been conducted due to the high cost of such trials. Lack of scientific/clinical research is quite common in herbal arena. Just because science hasn't scrutinized doesn't mean we should stop taking daily food and herbal supplements altogether: our life must go on until we have better understandings of food and herb that we have been taking generation after generation. There are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula: Firstly, Hair Million is relatively inexpensive compared with other methods, and secondly, it is made of edible herbs that are known to be safe when consumed in regular quantities.














DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
