Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of chromosome microarrays as a second-tier test in prenatal genetic testing. METHODS We prospectively analyzed 75 high-risk pregnancies undergoing invasive prenatal genetic testing in which the karyotype either was normal or had findings other than a common non-mosaic autosomal aneuploidy. RESULTS Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was performed successfully in all cases. Pathological copy-number variations (CNVs) explaining the phenotypes were found in 11 cases (14.7%). Four cases were detected with an unbalanced translocation. In three of these cases, subsequent genetic analysis demonstrated that a parent was an unknown carrier of a balanced translocation. Among the 67 cases with normal karyo-types, submicroscopic rearrangements with pathological significance were detected in five (7.5%) and CNVs of unclear significance were detected in one (1.5%). CMA was able to discriminate correctly between true mosaicism and confined or pseudomosaicism in all six mosaic cases. CONCLUSION CMA is a valuable second-tier test in high-risk pregnancies for which identification or further delineation of genetic aberrations is important. Its higher resolution results in a higher detection rate of aberrant cases, with a clear clinical benefit for estimation of risk of recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A is often associated with diarrhoea in suckling piglets. The impact of the alpha (α) and beta (β)2 toxins on the pathogenesis of the disease has not been conclusively answered. Previously, autologous vaccines were used to control this disease. The aim of our investigation was the classification of C. perfringens strains and the quantitative determination of the α and β2 toxins during the production of autologous vaccines. The efficacy of a commercial vaccine against the C. perfringens type A associated diarrhoea was tested using an animal intoxication model. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1,434 C. perfringens strains from piglets with diarrhoea were classified using a multiplex PCR in the first part of the examination. In parallel, the α and β2 toxin content was determined quantitatively using ELISA tests. In the second part of the study 18 gilts were vaccinated twice in the last third of gestation to evaluate the α and β2 toxoid containing C.perfringens type A vaccine (Clostriporc A, IDT Biologika GmbH). RESULTS Of the C. perfringens strains which were found, 87.9% were type A ( cpa , cpb2 ), 6.3% type A ( cpa ), and 5.8% type C ( cpa , cpb , cpb2 ). Low to middle a toxin-producing strains often strongly expressed the β2 toxin. The vaccination led to the production of antibodies against the α and β2 toxins, which were transferred to the offspring by colostrum. Piglets were significantly protected (p<0.05) by the antibodies after having been challenged with an α and β2-containing supernatant of a heterologous C. perfringens type A strain. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results underline the importance of α and β2 toxin producing C.perfringens type A strains in diarrhoea in suckling piglets. Using the intoxication model, this vaccine showed significant protective effects against the α and β2 toxins.

Abstract
There are multiple treatment options for patients with chronic lymphedema, and one successful approach is lymph vessel transplantation. As quality of life assessments are frequently not utilized in standard treatment regimes, we investigated the change in quality of life for patients with chronic lymphedema (total = 212) who had undergone lymphatic vessel transplantation and conservative therapy for at least 6 months prior to operation. Quality of life was assessed by a modified standard questionnaire examining the physiological and psychological status of the patients. Results document a significant improvement in quality of life and underscore success of autologous lymphatic vessel transplantation as a therapy for lymphedema.

Abstract
COPII-coated vesicles carry proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. This vesicular transport can be reconstituted by using three cytosolic components containing five proteins: the small GTPase Sar1p, the Sec23p/24p complex, and the Sec13p/Sec31p complex. We have used a combination of biochemistry and electron microscopy to investigate the molecular organization and structure of Sec23p/24p and Sec13p/31p complexes. The three-dimensional reconstruction of Sec23p/24p reveals that it has a bone-shaped structure, (17 nm in length), composed of two similar globular domains, one corresponding to Sec23p and the other to Sec24p. Sec13p/31p is a heterotetramer composed of two copies of Sec13p and two copies of Sec31p. It has an elongated shape, is 28-30 nm in length, and contains five consecutive globular domains linked by relatively flexible joints. Putting together the architecture of these Sec complexes with the interactions between their subunits and the appearance of the coat in COPII-coated vesicles, we present a model for COPII coat organization.

Abstract
Hybrid swine (Landrace x Pietrain) aged 3-4 weeks were immunized twice at an interval of 3 weeks solely by the oral route and by the oral/parenteral route to evaluate the efficacy of a live S. Typhimurium vaccine. In each experiment a control group was run without vaccination. The animals were challenged at the age of 8-10 weeks by oral test infection with a labelled S. Typhimurium DT 104 strain. An ELISA was used to establish the presence of antibodies to S. Typhimurium in serum samples, coupled with clinical investigation. The presence of the challenge strain in the ileal and caecal mucosa and in the ileocolic lymph nodes was investigated quantitatively using the Koch plating method to determine the degree of colonization of those organs at the time of slaughter. The clinical course of disease was used to assess the success of vaccination. However, it was not possible to trigger, in a reproducible manner, clinical signs of disease in unvaccinated animals through infection. The vaccinated animals had a significantly lower (p < 0.05) colonization of the ileal and caecal mucosa than the unvaccinated animals. This was also seen to a lesser degree for the ileocolic lymph nodes.
