Abstract
Vaccination against Brucella infections in animals is usually performed by administration of live attenuated smooth B. abortus strain S19 and B. melitensis strain Rev1. They are proven effective vaccines against B. abortus in cattle and against B. melitensis and B. ovis in sheep and goats, respectively. However, both vaccines have the main drawback of inducing O-polysaccharide-specific antibodies that interfere with serologic diagnosis of disease. In addition, they retain residual virulence, being a cause of abortion in pregnant animals and infection in humans. To overcome these problems, one approach is to develop defined rough mutant Brucella strains lacking O antigen of lipopolysaccharide. B. abortus rough strain RB51, a rifampin-resistant mutant of virulent strain B. abortus 2308, is used as a vaccine against B. abortus infection in cattle in some countries. However, RB51 is not effective in sheep, and there is only preliminary evidence that it is effective in goats. In this study, we tested the efficacies of six rifampin-resistant rough strains of B. melitensis in protecting BALB/c mice exposed to B. melitensis infection. The protective properties, as well as both humoral and cellular immune responses, were assessed in comparison with those provided by B. melitensis Rev1 and B. abortus RB51 vaccines. The results indicated that these rough mutants were able to induce a very good level of protection against B. melitensis infection, similar to that provided by Rev1 and superior to that of RB51, without inducing antibodies to O antigen. In addition, all B. melitensis mutants were able to stimulate good production of gamma interferon. The characteristics of these strains encourage further evaluation of them as alternative vaccines to Rev1 in primary host species.

Abstract
We investigate the transition from the nucleon-meson to the quark-gluon description of the strong interaction using the photon energy dependence of the d(gamma,p)n differential cross section for photon energies above 0.5 GeV and center-of-mass proton angles between 30 degrees and 150 degrees. A possible signature for this transition is the onset of cross-section s(-11) scaling with the total energy squared, s, at some proton transverse momentum P(T). The results show that the scaling has been reached for proton transverse momentum above about 1.1 GeV/c. This may indicate that the quark-gluon regime is reached above this momentum.

Abstract
Two-proton correlations at small relative momentum q were studied in the eA(3He,4He,C,Fe)-->e(')ppX reaction at E(0)=4.46 GeV using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Lab. The enhancement of the correlation function at small q was found to be in accordance with theoretical expectations. Sizes of the emission region were extracted, and proved to be dependent on A and on the proton momentum. The size of the two-proton emission region for He was measured in eA reactions for the first time.

Abstract
New, high-precision measurements of the 3He(e,e(')p) reaction using the A1 Collaboration spectrometers at the Mainz microtron MAMI are presented. These were performed in antiparallel kinematics at energy transfers below the quasielastic peak, and at a central momentum transfer of 685 MeV/c. Cross sections and distorted momentum distributions were extracted and compared to theoretical predictions and existing data. The longitudinal and transverse behavior of the cross section was also studied. Sizable differences in the cross-section behavior from theoretical predictions based on the plane wave impulse approximation were observed in both the two- and three-body breakup channels. Full Faddeev-type calculations account for some of the observed excess cross-section, but significant differences remain.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is the pathogenetic link underlying the different metabolic abnormalities clustering in the metabolic syndrome. It can be induced by different environmental factors, including dietary habits. Consumption of energy-dense/high fat diets is strongly and positively associated with overweight that, in turn, deteriorates insulin sensitivity, particularly when the excess of body fat is located in abdominal region. Nevertheless the link between fat intake and overweight is not limited to the high-energy content of fatty foods; the ability to oxidize dietary fat is impaired in some individuals genetically predisposed to obesity. Insulin sensitivity is also affected by the quality of dietary fat, independently of its effects on body weight. Epidemiological evidence and intervention studies clearly show that in humans saturated fat significantly worsen insulin-resistance, while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids improve it through modifications in the composition of cell membranes which reflect at least in part dietary fat composition. A recent multicenter study (KANWU) has shown that shifting from a diet rich in saturated fatty acids to one rich in monounsaturated fat improves insulin sensitivity in healthy people while a moderate alpha-3 fatty acids supplementation does not affect insulin sensitivity. There are also other features of the metabolic syndrome that are influenced by different types of fat, particularly blood pressure and plasma lipid levels. Most studies show that alpha-3 fatty acids reduce blood pressure in hypertensive but not in normotensive subjects while shifting from saturated to monounsaturated fat intake reduces diastolic blood pressure. In relation to lipid abnormalities alpha-3 fatty acids reduce plasma triglyceride levels but in parallel, increase LDL cholesterol. Substitution of unsaturated fat for saturated fat not only reduces LDL cholesterol but contributes also to reduce plasma triglycerides in insulin resistant individuals. In conclusion, there is evidence available in humans indicating that dietary fat quality influences insulin sensitivity and associated metabolic abnormalities. Therefore, prevention of the metabolic syndrome has to be targeted: (1) to correct overweight by reducing the energy density of the habitual diet (i.e., fat intake) and (2) to improve insulin sensitivity and associated metabolic abnormalities through a reduction of dietary saturated fat, partially replaced, when appropriate, by monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

Abstract
In the last 10 years nutritional research on diabetes has improved dramatically in terms of both number of studies produced and quality of methodologies employed. Therefore, it is now possible to attempt to provide the evidence on which nutritional recommendations for the prevention of type 2 diabetes could be based. We therefore performed a literature search and, among the papers published in indexed journals, we selected relevant epidemiological (mostly prospective) and controlled intervention studies. Lifestyle factors that have, so far, been consistently associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes are overweight and physical inactivity. However, recent evidence from epidemiological studies has shown that the risk of type 2 diabetes is also associated with diet composition, particularly with: (1) low fibre intake; (2) a high trans fatty acid intake and a low unsaturated:saturated fat intake ratio; (3) absence of or excess alcohol consumption. All these factors are extremely common in Western populations and therefore the potential impact of any intervention on them is large: indeed, >90 % of the general population has one or more of these risk factors. The ability to correct these behaviours in the population is estimated to reduce the incidence of diabetes by as much as 87 %. Recent intervention studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can be prevented by lifestyle changes aimed at body-weight reduction, increased physical activity and multiple changes in the composition of the diet. Within this context, the average amount of weight loss needed is not large, about 5 % initial weight, which is much less than the weight loss traditionally considered to be clinically significant for prevention of type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, new emphasis on prevention by multiple lifestyle modifications, including moderate changes in the composition of the habitual diet, might limit the dramatic increase in incidence of type 2 diabetes envisaged worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intake of 10 g/day of short-chain-fructo-oligosaccharides (sc-FOS) has been shown to increase significantly bifidus counts and to produce high amounts of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), presumed to influence glucose and lipid metabolism. AIM To evaluate the effects of moderate intake of sc-FOS on glucose and lipid metabolism in individuals with mild hypercholesterolaemia. DESIGN A randomized double-blind sequential cross-over study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty subjects of both genders (20 M/10 F), mean age 45.5+/-9.9 years (M+/-SD), BMI 26.6+/-2.2 kg/m(2), with plasma cholesterol >5.17 and <7.76 mmol/l and plasma triglycerides <3.45 mmol/l, participated in the study. The study was performed after a wash-out period of 1 month and a run-in period of 1 month to stabilize patients on a standard diet (CHO 50%, fat 30%, protein 20%, fibre 20 g/day) plus placebo (maltodextrine plus aspartame 15 g/day). At the end of run-in, subjects were randomly assigned to receive sc-FOS (Actilight) (10.6g/day) or placebo (maltodextrine plus aspartame 15 g/day) with tea and/or coffee for a duration of 2 months and thereafter switched to the other treatment for additional 2 months. Plasma glucose, total and lipoprotein (VLDL, LDL, HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were measured in the fasting state at the end of run-in and of each treatment period. At the end of the two treatment periods, patients consumed a standard test meal (protein 15%, carbohydrate 34%, fat 51%, kJ 3988) 1h after the administration of 5.3g of sc-FOS or placebo; plasma glucose, insulin, free fatty acid (FFA) and triglyceride responses to the test meal were evaluated. RESULTS No significant difference in fasting parameters was detected between the two treatments. After sc-FOS and placebo plasma cholesterol levels were, respectively, 6.47+/-0.70 and 6.44+/-0.78 mmol/l (n.s.) and plasma triglycerides were 1.53+/-0.71 and 1.56+/-0.53 mmol/l (n.s.). No significant differences were observed in cholesterol and triglyceride content of VLDL, LDL and HDL and in plasma Apo A1 levels; conversely, fasting plasma Lp(a) concentrations were significantly increased after sc-FOS (37+/-38 vs. 33+/-35 mg/dl; P<0.005). Postprandial responses of glucose, FFA and triglycerides were not significantly different between sc-FOS and placebo, while postprandial insulin response (incremental area) was significantly reduced after sc-FOS compared to placebo (14,490+/-7416 vs. 17,760+/-7710 pmol/l x 300 min; P<0.02). CONCLUSIONS A moderate intake of sc-FOS has no major effects on lipid metabolism, both in the fasting and in the postprandial period, in individuals with mild hypercholesterolaemia. A small but significant increase of Lp(a) concentrations was observed with sc-FOS consumption together with a reduction of the postprandial insulin response; however, the clinical relevance of these small effects is unclear.

Abstract
Self-monitoring of plasma triglycerides (TG) may be a very useful tool to monitor, on a daily basis, the TG responses to different nutrients, particularly carbohydrates (CHO) and fat, whose influence on postprandial TG levels is not very well known. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the TG response of hypertriglyceridemic patients to a similar amount of calories deriving from different sources of CHO and fat. Thirty-nine hypertriglyceridemic patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 experimental groups. In 1 group (the fat group), patients were given a standard meal plus a fat supplement of 300 kcal derived from different types of fat (butter, sunflower margarine, olive oil) for dinner, once a week for 3 weeks. In the other group (the CHO group), patients consumed the same standard meal plus a supplement of 300 kcal derived from different types of CHO (bread, coke, fruit). In both groups, patients measured their plasma TG before and 3 hours after each meal by Accutrend GCT (ROCHE, Mannheim, Germany). A subgroup of patients (n = 18) also performed TG determinations 2 hours after the test meals. The 3-hour TG increments were not significantly different between the different test meals (f = 0.671; P =.52); instead, the TG increments induced by fat supplements were significantly higher than those induced by the CHO supplements (f = 14.31; P =.0001). Similar results were also obtained 2 hours after the test meals. In conclusion, this study shows that the 2- and 3-hour TG responses to fat are higher compared with that induced by carbohydrate. This point, especially if confirmed by experiments with more frequent after meal measurements and of longer duration, should be taken into account in defining the best dietary approach to lower plasma TG levels throughout the whole day.

Abstract
The TB Structural Genomics Consortium is an organization devoted to encouraging, coordinating, and facilitating the determination and analysis of structures of proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Consortium members hope to work together with other M. tuberculosis researchers to identify M. tuberculosis proteins for which structural information could provide important biological information, to analyze and interpret structures of M. tuberculosis proteins, and to work collaboratively to test ideas about M. tuberculosis protein function that are suggested by structure or related to structural information. This review describes the TB Structural Genomics Consortium and some of the proteins for which the Consortium is in the progress of determining three-dimensional structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether postprandial abnormalities of energy expenditure and/or lipid oxidation are present in healthy, normal-weight subjects with a strong family history of obesity and thus at high risk to become obese. DESIGN Case-control study. SUBJECTS A total of 16 young healthy men participated in the study. Eight subjects had both parents overweight (father's and mother's body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m(2)) and eight had both parents with normal body weight (father's and mother's BMI<25 kg/m(2), respectively). The group of subjects with overweight parents was similar to that with normal-weight parents (control group) in terms of BMI (23.7+/-1.7 vs 22.7+/-1.1 kg/m(2)) (M+/-s.d.) and fat-free body mass (FFM) (60.5+/-4.9 vs 58.4+/-2.0 kg), but was slightly older than the control group (25.4+/-3.3 vs 22.7+/-2.4 y; P<0.05). MEASUREMENTS Energy expenditure (EE) was measured by indirect calorimetry, and blood samples were taken for the evaluation of metabolic variables in the fasting state and every hour for 8 h after a standard fat-rich meal (protein 15%, carbohydrate 34%, fat 51%, 4090 kJ). RESULTS : Fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid (FFA) and leptin concentrations were similar in both groups of participants, but subjects with overweight parents has significantly lower plasma insulin concentrations (5.11+/-0.51 vs 7.07+/-1.56 microU/ml; P<0.007) and HOMA index of insulin resistance (1.1+/-0.1 vs 1.6+/-0.4; P<0.01). Postprandial plasma glucose, triglyceride, FFA and leptin concentrations were similar in the two groups, whereas insulin levels were significantly lower in the group with both parents overweight at 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h. Fasting and postprandial EE, and fasting lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were similar in both groups. On the contrary, postprandial carbohydrate oxidation (incremental area under curve) was significantly higher (196.25+/-94.75 vs 75.88+/-74.72 mg/kg FFM x 8 h; P<0.007) and that of lipid oxidation lower (90.93+/-80.32 vs 163.68+/-108.22 mg/kg FFM x 8 h; P<0.05) in the group of subjects with overweight parents. CONCLUSION Normal-weight subjects with a strong family history of obesity present a reduced lipid oxidation in the postprandial period and a metabolic profile characterized by low plasma insulin levels and the HOMA index, which is compatible with increased insulin sensitivity. These metabolic characteristics may be considered as early predictors of weight gain and are probably genetically determined.

Abstract
We have measured the 3He(e,e'pp)n reaction at 2.2 GeV over a wide kinematic range. The kinetic energy distribution for "fast" nucleons (p>250 MeV/c) peaks where two nucleons each have 20% or less, and the third nucleon has most of the transferred energy. These fast pp and pn pairs are back to back with little momentum along the three-momentum transfer, indicating that they are spectators. Calculations by Sargsian and by Laget also indicate that we have measured distorted two-nucleon momentum distributions by striking one nucleon and detecting the spectator correlated pair.

Abstract
The reaction gamma p-->pi(+)K(-)K(+)n was studied at Jefferson Laboratory using a tagged photon beam with an energy range of 3-5.47 GeV. A narrow baryon state with strangeness S=+1 and mass M=1555+/-10 MeV/c(2) was observed in the nK(+) invariant mass spectrum. The peak's width is consistent with the CLAS resolution (FWHM=26 MeV/c(2)), and its statistical significance is (7.8+/-1.0)sigma. A baryon with positive strangeness has exotic structure and cannot be described in the framework of the naive constituent quark model. The mass of the observed state is consistent with the mass predicted by the chiral soliton model for the Theta(+) baryon. In addition, the pK(+) invariant mass distribution was analyzed in the reaction gamma p-->K(-)K(+)p with high statistics in search of doubly charged exotic baryon states. No resonance structures were found in this spectrum.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Postprandial lipaemia is considered an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease also in the Type 2 diabetic population. However, little information exists on the daily triglyceride profile of these patients, especially during everyday life. The aim of the study was to evaluate the daily triglyceride profile of Type 2 diabetic patients during their everyday life. METHODS 145 Type 2 diabetic patients (66 men/79 women, age range 45-65 years) at a health district near Naples, Italy, participating in a screening survey for the evaluation of diabetic complications, and 30 non-diabetic subjects of the same area underwent four daily capillary triglyceride profiles by Accutrend (Roche)-a previously validated method. RESULTS Triglyceride values (mmol/l; Means +/- SE) were 2.22+/-0.08 at fasting, decreased before lunch (2.03+/-0.07), reached a peak 3 h after lunch (2.73+/-0.09) and remained substantially high before dinner (2.47+/-0.09) (all p<0.001 vs fasting). The triglyceride profile of non-diabetic subjects was significantly lower at each point (average difference of 0.73 mmol/l). The percentage of patients with values above 2.25 mmol/l was 61% 3 h after lunch and 49% before dinner. Moreover, in 30% of patients with optimal fasting values (<1.69 mmol/l) triglyceride concentrations 3 h after lunch ranged between 1.69 and 2.25 mmol/l, and in 31% they were above 2.25 mmol/l. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION Most Type 2 diabetic patients have postprandial triglycerides above optimal concentrations for several hours after meals. Moreover, optimal fasting concentrations are not always a good predictor of postprandial triglycerides.

Abstract
In an exclusive measurement of the reaction gammad-->K(+)K(-)pn, a narrow peak that can be attributed to an exotic baryon with strangeness S=+1 is seen in the K(+)n invariant mass spectrum. The peak is at 1.542+/-0.005 GeV/c(2) with a measured width of 0.021 GeV/c(2) FWHM, which is largely determined by experimental mass resolution. The statistical significance of the peak is (5.2+/-0.6)sigma. The mass and width of the observed peak are consistent with recent reports of a narrow S=+1 baryon by other experimental groups.

Abstract
Double-polarization asymmetries for inclusive ep scattering were measured at Jefferson Lab using 2.6 and 4.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on a longitudinally polarized NH3 target in the CLAS detector. The polarized structure function g(1)(x,Q2) was extracted throughout the nucleon resonance region and into the deep inelastic regime, for Q(2)=0.15-1.64 GeV2. The contributions to the first moment Gamma(1)(Q2)= integral g(1)(x,Q2) dx were determined up to Q(2)=1.2 GeV2. Using a parametrization for g(1) in the unmeasured low x regions, the complete first moment was estimated over this Q2 region. A rapid change in Gamma(1) is observed for Q2<1 GeV2, with a sign change near Q(2)=0.3 GeV2, indicating dominant contributions from the resonance region. At Q(2)=1.2 GeV2 our data are below the perturbative QCD evolved scaling value.

Abstract
The cross section for the reaction ep-->e(')ppi(+)pi(-) was measured in the resonance region for 1.4<W<2.1 GeV and 0.5<Q2<1.5 GeV(2)/c(2) using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The data show resonant structures not visible in previous experiments. The comparison of our data to a phenomenological prediction using available information on N(*) and Delta states shows an evident discrepancy. A better description of the data is obtained either by a sizable change of the properties of the P13(1720) resonance or by introducing a new baryon state, not reported in published analyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether postprandial abnormalities of energy expenditure and/or lipid oxidation are present in healthy, normal-weight subjects with a strong family history of obesity and thus at high risk to become obese. DESIGN Case-control study. SUBJECTS A total of 16 young healthy men participated in the study. Eight subjects had both parents overweight (father's and mother's body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m(2)) and eight had both parents with normal body weight (father's and mother's BMI<25 kg/m(2), respectively). The group of subjects with overweight parents was similar to that with normal-weight parents (control group) in terms of BMI (23.7+/-1.7 vs 22.7+/-1.1 kg/m(2)) (M+/-s.d.) and fat-free body mass (FFM) (60.5+/-4.9 vs 58.4+/-2.0 kg), but was slightly older than the control group (25.4+/-3.3 vs 22.7+/-2.4 y; P<0.05). MEASUREMENTS Energy expenditure (EE) was measured by indirect calorimetry, and blood samples were taken for the evaluation of metabolic variables in the fasting state and every hour for 8 h after a standard fat-rich meal (protein 15%, carbohydrate 34%, fat 51%, 4090 kJ). RESULTS Fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid (FFA) and leptin concentrations were similar in both groups of participants, but subjects with overweight parents has significantly lower plasma insulin concentrations (5.11+/-0.51 vs 7.07+/-1.56 microU/ml; P<0.007) and HOMA index of insulin resistance (1.1+/-0.1 vs 1.6+/-0.4; P<0.01). Postprandial plasma glucose, triglyceride, FFA and leptin concentrations were similar in the two groups, whereas insulin levels were significantly lower in the group with both parents overweight at 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h. Fasting and postprandial EE, and fasting lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were similar in both groups. On the contrary, postprandial carbohydrate oxidation (incremental area under curve) was significantly higher (196.25+/-94.75 vs 75.88+/-74.72 mg/kg FFM x 8 h; P<0.007) and that of lipid oxidation lower (90.93+/-80.32 vs 163.68+/-108.22 mg/kg FFM x 8 h; P<0.05) in the group of subjects with overweight parents. CONCLUSION Normal-weight subjects with a strong family history of obesity present a reduced lipid oxidation in the postprandial period and a metabolic profile characterized by low plasma insulin levels and the HOMA index, which is compatible with increased insulin sensitivity. These metabolic characteristics may be considered as early predictors of weight gain and are probably genetically determined.

Abstract
The first measurements of the transferred polarization for the exclusive e-->p-->e(')K+Lambda--> reaction have been performed at Jefferson Laboratory using the CLAS spectrometer. A 2.567 GeV beam was used to measure the hyperon polarization over Q2 from 0.3 to 1.5 (GeV/c)(2), W from 1.6 to 2.15 GeV, and over the full K+ center-of-mass angular range. Comparison with predictions of hadrodynamic models indicates strong sensitivity to the underlying resonance contributions. A nonrelativistic quark-model interpretation of our data suggests that the ssmacr; quark pair is produced with spins predominantly antialigned. Implications for the validity of the most widely used quark-pair creation operator are discussed.
