No full textSpecificity of PCR and in situ hybridization assays designed for detection of Marteilia sydneyi and M-refringens
No full textPrimers and DNA probes designed for use in the specific detection of the paramyxean parasites Marteilia sydneyi and Marteilia refringens were tested for their potential to cross-react with closely related species in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and in situ hybridization. PCR primers and a DNA probe designed within the ITS1 rRNA of M. sydneyi were specific for M. sydneyi when compared with related species of Marteilia and Marteilioides. PCR primers designed within the 18S rRNA of M. refringens were specific in the detection of this species in PCR while a DNA probe (named Smart 2) designed on the same gene cross-reacted with M. sydneyi in tissue sections of Saccostrea glomerata as well as Marteilioides sp. infecting Striostrea mytiloides. Though not species specific, the Smart 2 probe provided a stronger signal in detection of all stages of M. sydneyi than the ITS1 probe. The ITS probe is proposed for use as a confirmatory diagnostic too] for M. sydneyi
Experimental transmission of Marteilia refringens with special consideration of its life cycle
No full textThe life history of Marteilia refringens was investigated. The infectivity of purified early and late stages of M. refringens to oysters (Ostrea edulis) was tested in the laboratory using different routes of inoculation. Naturally infected oysters were monitored in experimental tanks to study infection progression through serial samples. Horizontal transmission was tested by cohabitation with carrier oysters in experimental tanks. The role of the environment in the transmission of M. refringens was studied in the field. The experiments provided no evidence to support direct horizontal transmission of M. refringens, but suggested that intermediate or alternative hosts, or free-living stages, are essential in the life cycle of the parasite..RE: 46 ref.; SC: ZA; VE; CA; PA; 0YSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0177-5103&isbn=&volume=34&issue=2&spage=135&pages=135-144&date=1998&title=Diseases%20of%20Aquatic%20Organisms&atitle=Experimental%20transmission%20of%20Marteilia%20refringens%20with%20special%20consideration%20of%20its%20life%20cycle.&aulast=Berthe&pid=%3Cauthor%3EBerthe%2c%20F%20C%20J%3bPernas%2c%20M%3bZerabib%2c%20M%3bHaffner%2c%20P%3bThebault%2c%20A%3bFigueras%2c%20A%20J%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19990802291%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.
