We report 2 unusual cases of congenital ranula in male Nigerian infants. Clinical examination could not discern the orifice of the submandibular duct on the affected sides, while a lower occlusal radiograph revealed no obvious calculi. Diagnosis was mainly by clinical presentation. The paper highlights possible aetiopathogenesis, clinical aspects and diagnostic features. Emphasis is laid on the need for careful evaluation of oral ranulas in order to discern their origin and provide appropriate treatment. 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel

Access to the complete gene inventory of an organism is crucial to understanding physiological processes like development, differentiation, pathogenesis, or adaptation to the environment. Transcripts from many active genes are present at low copy numbers. Therefore, procedures that rely on random EST sequencing or on normalisation and subtraction methods have to produce massively redundant data to get access to low-abundance genes. Here, we present an improved oligonucleotide fingerprinting (ofp) approach to the genome of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), a plant for which practically no molecular information has been available. To identify distinct genes and to provide a representative 'unigene' cDNA set for sugar beet, 159 936 cDNA clones were processed utilizing large-scale, high-throughput data generation and analysis methods. Data analysis yielded 30 444 ofp clusters reflecting the number of different genes in the original cDNA sample. A sample of 10 961 cDNA clones, each representing a different cluster, were selected for sequencing. Standard sequence analysis confirmed that 89% of these EST sequences did represent different genes. These results indicate that the full set of 30 444 ofp clusters represent up to 25 000 genes. We conclude that the ofp analysis pipeline is an accurate and effective way to construct large representative 'unigene' sets for any plant of interest with no requirement for prior molecular sequence data.

The role of constitutive nitric oxide synthase in pathogenesis of secondary lesion after spinal cord injury. Preliminary results.

BACKGROUND: Secondary lesion (SL) is an early phenomenon of cellular death following spinal cord injury (SCI). Nitric oxide (NO) could be involved in its pathogenesis. NO is a gaseous metabolite produced by 2 constitutive isoforms of NO synthase (cNOS), constantly active, and by 1 inducible isoform (iNOS), synthesized during inflammation and able to produce large amount of NO. High concentrated NO is toxic for cells; therefore, NO concentration is strictly and finely regulated. We suppose that major inhibitory effect on the iNOS expression is represented by the same physiological concentration of NO, synthesized by cNOS. The aim of this study is to assess the role of the 2 cNOS in pathogenesis of SL after SCI in rat. METHODS: A dorsal SCI has been performed on rats (n=5) by a vascular clip (50 g/mm(2) for 15"). Fifteen minutes after trauma, activity of nNOS and eNOS has been measured (U/mg) in the cervical, dorsal and lumbar segments of spinal cord. Uninjured rats (n=5) served as control group. m-RNA for iNOS in untreated rats (n=2) has been also investigated by Northern blotting. RESULTS: In injured rats nNOS activity has shown a reduction in dorsal and lumbar segments, compared to the control group. eNOS activity, highly variable in the control group, has not been detectable in injured spinal cord. i-NOS mRNA has not been found in spinal cord of uninjured rats. CONCLUSIONS: These results would be in line with our hypothesis and provide the bases for other investigations. New therapeutic strategies for SL prevention, based on the modulation of cNOS, will be evaluated.

Metarhizium anisopliae is the best-characterized entomopathogen and is used to control insect pests in sugar cane plantations in Brazil on a commercial scale. We have previously reported the infection of some M. anisopliae strains by dsRNA mycoviruses. Here we describe the purification and characterization of the viruses (MaV-A1, MaV-M5, MaV-RJ) in terms of dsRNA content, capsid proteins, electron microscopy, Western blot, and hybridization patterns. One spontaneous mutant lost some of the high molecular weight dsRNA components and showed significant alterations in colony morphology and spore production, suggesting that viral genes interfere with fungal phenotype. A comparison between dsRNA mycovirus-free and infected M. anisopliae isolates showed that virus-free isolates have increased endochitinase secretion. By comparing the following parameters: the buoyant density in CsCl of the presumed virions; the number and estimated molecular weight of the dsRNA components and the molecular mass of the capsid proteins to other mycoviruses previously described, we suggest the inclusion of MaV-A1 and MaV-M5 in the family Totiviridae and MaV-RJ in the family Partitiviridae.

Efficient transformation of the human pathogen Corynebacterium diphtheriae was achieved with novel cloning vectors consisting of a mini-replicon from the cryptic C. glutamicum plasmid pGA1 as well as of the aph(3')-IIa or tetA(Z ) antibiotic resistance genes. Plasmid-containing transformants of C. diphtheriae were recovered at frequencies ranging from 1.3 x 10(5) to 4.8 x 10(6) colony forming units (cfu)/microg of plasmid DNA. Vector DNA was directly transferred from Escherichia coli into C. diphtheriae with frequencies up to 5.6 x 10(5) cfu/microg of plasmid DNA. On the basis of the pGA1 mini-replicon, an expression vector system was established for C. diphtheriae by means of the P(tac) promoter and the green fluorescent reporter protein. In addition, other commonly used vector systems from C. glutamicum, including the pBL1 and pHM1519 replicons, and the sacB conditionally lethal selection marker from Bacillus subtilis, were shown to be functional in C. diphtheriae. Thus, the ability to apply the standard methods of C. glutamicum recombinant DNA technology will greatly facilitate the functional analysis of the recently completed C. diphtheriae genome sequence.

Is your hair shedding prematurely? Are you losing hair gradually or all of a sudden, or just as you are aging?
Hair Million is a herbal formula to reverse your hair loss problems.
Numerous anecdotal cases, and personal testimonies indicate that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually
improves the conditions of hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people taking it regularly.
The biology of hair growth is complex and a field still under exploration.
We don't know how Hair Million stops hair loss, and promotes
hair restoration, despite all the supporting anecdotal cases.
Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical trials has been conducted due to the cost. Shortage of scientific
and clinical research data is not uncommon in herbal and nutritional arena. Important merits of Hair Million is that it is relatively
inexpensive compared with surgical transplantation or prescription drugs, and secondly, it is made only of traditional herbs that
promote hair growth and are widely known to be safe in regular quantities. If you are interested in clinically tested prescription
