Three novel mutations in the ANK membrane protein cause craniometaphyseal dysplasia with variable conductive hearing loss
Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a rare, sclerosing skeletal disorder caused by mutations in ANKH, which encodes a putative pyrophosphate transporting membrane protein. Six distinct ANKH mutations have been described to date. We report here on three novel mutations in simplex patients with CMD. The c.1015T>C (p.Cys339Arg) mutation found in Patient A was associated with congenital facial palsy, early-onset conductive hearing loss, and a generalized undermodeling of the long bones. The c.1172T>C (p.Leu391Pro) mutation in Patient B was associated with facial palsy, progressive conductive hearing loss, and generalized undermodeling of tubular bones. A milder phenotype without cranial nerve affection was observed in Patient C, associated with a c.1001T>G (p.Leu334Arg) mutation. All affected residues lie in evolutionarily conserved sequence blocks. These additional cases and the associated mutations contribute to an improved appreciation of the variability of this rare skeletal dysplasia. (c) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc
Embryonic expression of the human MID1 gene and its mutations in Opitz syndrome
Opitz syndrome (G/BBB syndrome, MIM145410, and MIM300000) is a midline congenital malformation characterised by hypertelorism, hypospadias and oesophagolaryngotracheal defects leading to swallowing difficulties and hoarse voice. This condition is genetically heterogeneous with an X-linked recessive form mapped to Xp22.3 and at least one autosomal dominant form mapped to chromosome 22q11.2. Recently, mutations in MID1 have been identified in the X-linked form of the disease but the gene for the autosomal dominant form on 22q11 remains unknown.
Here we report on MID1 mutations screening in a series of 14 patients with Opitz syndrome and the MID1 expression pattern in human embryos using hybridisation in situ. Finally, we investigated the contribution of chromosome X-inactivation studies to identify the X-linked form of the disease.
Six MID1 mutations were identified in our series. All mutations were novel except the R495X mutation previously reported in three unrelated patients. We report heart and hindbrain expression of MID1 during early human development. Obligate carrier mothers showed a random pattern of X-inactivation.
Vermis hypoplasia or agenesis was frequently present (4/9) in patients with MID1 mutation. The heart and hindbrain expression of MID1 during early human development further supports the view that heart defects and vermis hypoplasia or agenesis are features to be included in the malformative spectrum of the syndrome. Finally, the study of X-inactivation pattern in women does not help discrimination between X-linked and autosomal forms of the disease
A new synthesis of l-sugar and the use of D-(-)-quinic acid for synthesis of trihydroxyazepanes via beckmann rearrangement
碩士近年來,由於L-carbohydrate在醫學界的應用,引起了許多的注意,故有許多文獻報導。
我們設計了由D-mannono-1,4-lactone為起始物,經過5個合成步驟合成了L-allono-1,4-lactone,其重要的方法在於一步反應過程裡,連續進行了兩次反轉立體位向,使得D-mannono-1,4-lactone中的C-4及C-5的立體方位改變,而得到L-allono-1,4-lactone。
另外,由於azasugars在醫學上的應用,它們扮演著一個重要的角色,就是能夠抑制醣水解酵素。它們被認為能夠用來治療癌症、病毒感染及糖尿病等症狀,且具有潛力可發展成為新藥物。許多有關azasugar的文獻報導,其中以五圓環(pyrrolidine)、六圓環(piperidine)為最多,而七圓環的azepane最少。而所合成7圓環azepanes中,又以tetrahydroxyazepanes最多、trihydroxyazepanes次之、dihydroxy-azepanes為最少。
由D-(-)-quinic acid為起始物,利用Beckmann rearrangement反應得到具保護基之七圓環azasugar,進一步在去除保護基即可獲得trihydroxyazepane。Recently, L-carbohydrate have been widely used in drug development. We reported herein an efficient synthesis of L-allono-1,4-lactone from D-mannono-1,4
-lactone in five-step sequence. The key feature of the method involved a one pot "double inversion” procedure at stereocenter of C-4 and C-5 of D-mannono-1,4
-lactone to obtain the L-allono-1,4-lactone.
On the other hand, azasugars played an important role as glycosidase inhibitors. They were used in treatment of cancer, viral infection and diabetes, and have potential to make new drugs.
There are many reports to azasugars which they focused much attentation on the preparation of various five- and six-member azasugars namely polyhydroxy pyrrolidine and piperidine, respectively. However, only a few reports have appeared to the synthesis of seven-member azasugar-azepanes. Tetrahydroxy-azepanes appeared most in literatures among seven-member azasugars. Only few cases of trihydroxyazepanes and dihydroxyazepanes were described. Two trihydroxyazepanes were synthesized via Beckmann rearrangement from readily available D-(-)-quinic acid and reported in this article.中文摘要…………………………………….……………………………I

The molecular basis of X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda
The X-linked form of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDL), a radiologically distinct skeletal dysplasia affecting the vertebrae and epiphyses, is caused by mutations in the SEDL gene. To characterize the molecular basis for SEDL, we have identified the spectrum of SEDL mutations in 30 of 36 unrelated cases of X-linked SEDL ascertained from different ethnic populations. Twenty-one different disease-associated mutations now have been identified throughout the SEDL gene. These include nonsense mutations in exons 4 and 5, missense mutations in exons 4 and 6, small (2-7 bp) and large (>1 kb) deletions, insertions, and putative splicing errors, with one splicing error due to a complex deletion/insertion mutation. Eight different frameshift mutations lead to a premature termination of translation and account for >43% (13/30) of SEDL cases, with half of these (7/13) being due to dinucleotide deletions. Altogether, deletions account for 57% (17/30) of all known SEDL mutations. Four recurrent mutations (IVS3+5G-->A, 157-158delAT, 191-192delTG, and 271-275delCAAGA) account for 43% (13/30) of confirmed SEDL cases. The results of haplotype analyses and the diverse ethnic origins of patients support recurrent mutations. Two patients with large deletions of SEDL exons were found, one with childhood onset of painful complications, the other relatively free of additional symptoms. However, we could not establish a clear genotype/phenotype correlation and therefore conclude that the complete unaltered SEDL-gene product is essential for normal bone growth. Molecular diagnosis can now be offered for presymptomatic testing of this disorder. Appropriate lifestyle decisions and, eventually, perhaps, specific SEDL therapies may ameliorate the prognosis of premature osteoarthritis and the need for hip arthroplasty.A.K. Gedeon, G.E.

Copper uptake kinetics in hydroponically-grown durum wheat (Triticum turgidum durum L.) as compared with soil's ability to supply copper
This study investigated (a) net Cu uptake kinetics in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum durum L.) exposed to free Cu2+ activities in solution ranging from 0.4 to 2,420 nM and (b) the relative importance of plant uptake and soil's ability to supply Cu2+ to the roots. Plant Cu flux showed a hyperbolic shape, enabling to estimate the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters (Fmax and KM) for durum wheat. Plant Cu flux was then compared with soil Cu flux as assessed by the Diffusive Gradient in Thin film technique on seven soil samples. This comparison suggested that the rate-limiting process of Cu bioavailability to durum wheat would be plant uptake kinetics in most contaminated soils with the exception of moderately contaminated, calcareous soils. However, theoretical considerations targeted soil's ability to supply Cu as the rate-limiting process in most soils for Cu (hyper-) accumulator plants with requirement larger than that of common crop species
P2NIA: Privacy-Preserving Non-Iterative Auditing
International audienceUnlabelled - This study aimed to develop a practical, economically viable solution for treating hazardous landfill leachate using Pipe Freeze Crystallization (PFC) technology. The objective was to concentrate and solidify leachate from an effluent treatment plant processing approximately 8750 m annually, achieving resource recovery and environmental compliance. A 300 L h cooling demonstration plant was designed and implemented, incorporating a chiller, a secondary refrigerant mixture (40% ethylene glycol and 60% water), a clarifier, a reactor, and pumps. Μodelling with OLI software estimated recovery rates for salt and ice, providing a basis for operational adjustments. Leachate samples (2000 L) and concentrate (1000 L) were processed to evaluate the plant's performance in recovering clean water and NaSO. Experimental results confirmed the model predictions, with 302 L of concentrate yielding 102.9 kg of NaSO over 6 h and 273 L of leachate producing 118.7 kg of high-purity ice over 5.5 h. The energy consumption was measured at 171 kWh t of ice, aligning with theoretical predictions for a coefficient of performance of 1. These results validate the efficiency and feasibility of PFC in resource recovery. This study highlights the importance of PFC as a low-cost, energy-efficient technology for hazardous leachate treatment. Its scalability and ability to recover valuable resources such as NaSO and clean water present a sustainable alternative to conventional methods, contributing to zero-waste management goals in waste treatment practices.
