AIMS: Determination of genetic diversity among UK Burkholderia cepacia isolates from various environmental niches, principally woodland tree rhizospheres and onions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Genus determination was made using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and fatty acid methyl ester profiling. Genetic diversity was investigated by repetitive sequence genetic PCR fingerprinting. Several onion isolates were similar to clinical isolates but others were diverse. Some environmental isolates were possibly synonymous with B. cepacia and B. gladioli but most from woodland rhizospheres were distinct and clustered together. The 16S rRNA genes of representatives from these clusters were PCR amplified, sequenced and phylogenetically compared with all known Burkholderia and related species. This revealed that the rhizospheric isolates had closest affinity with Burkholderia spp. with known bioremediative and biocontrol capabilities and were unrelated to taxa comprising plant or human pathogenic strains. CONCLUSIONS: All of the analyses investigated revealed that environmental and onion isolates of B. cepacia complex bacteria are genetically diverse but that woodland rhizospheric isolates are related to each other and unrelated to plant or human pathogenic strains. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Woodland rhizospheric isolates of B. cepacia are potentially good candidates for use in bioremediation and biocontrol, as they appear distinct from plant or human pathogenic strains.

Protective effects of cold temperature and surface-contact on acid tolerance of Salmonella spp.

Produce Quality and Safety Laboratory, Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville 20705-2350, USA.
AIMS: To determine the effect of cold-storage temperature and surface contact on the survival of Salmonella spp. during acid challenge. To determine the contribution of sigma transcriptional factor (encoded by rpoS) in surface contact-mediated acid tolerance. METHODS AND RESULTS: Salmonella serovar Typhimurium cells in exponential and stationary growth phase were subjected to acid challenge in planktonic and surface-associated states. Low temperatures offered protection against acid challenge to cells which were in stationary growth phase (but not to those in exponential growth phase). The cells from stationary, as well as logarithmic growth phase, acquired increased acid tolerance upon surface contact with various surfaces, such as fresh-cut apples, agar and polyethersulphone membranes. The alternative sigma transcription factor was not required to acquire surface contact-mediated acid tolerance. CONCLUSIONS: Salmonella spp. take advantage of low temperature and surface association to overcome acid challenge. Some of the acid tolerance mechanisms are independent of the sigma transcription factor regulon. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Effective control measures during produce processing must take into account the different susceptibilities of planktonic vs surface-associated food-borne pathogens.

Increased expression of phosphorylated c-Jun amino-terminal kinase and phosphorylated c-Jun in human cerebral aneurysms: role of the c-Jun amino-terminal kinase/c-Jun pathway in apoptosis of vascular walls.

OBJECTIVE: Vascular remodeling via apoptotic mechanisms is an important factor in vascular diseases. c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and initiates apoptosis mainly via phosphorylation of the c-Jun transcription factor. We performed this study to clarify the roles of the JNK/c-Jun pathway and apoptosis in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS: Cerebral aneurysms from 12 patients and control vessels from 5 patients were studied. We analyzed the expression of phosphorylated JNK and phosphorylated c-Jun in cerebral aneurysms by using immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: Immunoreactivity for phosphorylated JNK and phosphorylated c-Jun was increased in the vascular walls of the cerebral aneurysms studied. Immunoreactivity for single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (a marker of deoxyribonucleic acid damage) was also increased in aneurysmal tissue, compared with control vessels, and was colocalized with that for phosphorylated JNK and phosphorylated c-Jun in smooth muscle cells. CONCLUSION: These observations may lead to better understanding of the role of the JNK/c-Jun pathway in the development of cerebral aneurysms and to new strategies for treatment.

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis as a result of a retropharyngeal inflammatory pseudotumor: case report.
Matsumoto K, Natori Y, Hirokawa E, Iwaki T.
Departments of Neuropathology and Neurosurgery, Neurological Institute, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. matsump.med.kyushu-u.ac.jp
OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: An extremely rare case of a patient with hypertrophic pachymeningitis that resulted from an inflammatory pseudotumor of retropharynx is described. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 59-year-old man with a 9-year history of retropharyngeal inflammatory pseudotumor sought care for severe headache and multiple cranial nerve palsies. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomographic scans revealed pachymeningeal enhancement and obstructive hydrocephalus attributable to marked dural thickening around the foramen magnum. INTERVENTION: Decompression of the foramen magnum, C1 laminectomy, and meningeal biopsy were performed. The histological examination of the biopsy specimen revealed chronic inflammatory infiltrate in the hypertrophic dura mater. Corticosteroid pulse therapy was subsequently completed. Clinical and neuroradiological findings improved remarkably. CONCLUSION: A new case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis as a result of a retropharyngeal inflammatory pseudotumor is presented. We review and discuss the clinical features and the pathogenic mechanisms of hypertrophic pachymeningitis.

Wolbachia endosymbiotic bacteria of filarial nematodes. A new insight into disease pathogenesis and control.
Taylor MJ.
Division of Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool, UK. mark.tayloiverpool.ac.uk
Filarial nematodes are parasitic worms that cause some of the most devastating of all tropical diseases such as elephantiasis and river blindness. Studies on the inflammatory pathogenesis of filarial disease have shown that endotoxin-like activity derived from endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria is the major inflammatory stimulus of filarial nematodes. Wolbachia appear to have evolved as essential symbionts of their filarial nematode hosts. Antibiotic depletion of bacteria shows that they are required for normal fertility and development of the worm and may even protect the parasites from host immunity. In addition to the uncovering of a fascinating symbiotic relationship, this discovery means we can now consider using antibiotics as a new approach to the treatment of filarial diseases.

Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which is still not thoroughly understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
Hair Million is an alternative solution to cope with hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement especially for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth.
We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth.
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.
