Abstract
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt1) is a truncated splice variant of Flt1, which is upregulated in preeclampsia. In this study we sought to characterize the unique C-terminus of sFlt. Through bioinformatic analyses, we identified two novel sFlt1 splice variants and two previously described sFlt1 splice variants. The novel variants are identical to the previously described sFlt1_v1 through exon 13, but then diverge to unique 3' termini consisting of a novel exon 15 (sFlt1_v2 and sFlt1_v3) or an extension of exon 14 (sFlt1_v4). Quantitative PCR showed that three out of four sFlt variants were upregulated in placenta of women with preeclampsia. Mass spectrometry analysis of sFlt1 purified from placental serum confirmed the presence of sFlt1_v1 protein, and an additional variant which includes sequence derived from exon 14. siRNA experiments targeting each variant confirmed that three of the four variants contribute significantly to total sFlt1 expression by cytotrophoblasts in vitro. These findings provide evidence that human placenta expresses a family of sFlt1 splice variants, at least three of which are expressed as proteins, and which appear to be globally upregulated in preeclampsia.

Abstract
The authors are describing a particular style of group psychotherapy as it is taught and practiced at the Tavistock Clinic in London. The main empahsis on group transference interpretations is explained by stating the explicit and implicit theoretical backgrounds of this paradigm and discussing the tacit conventions of this particular model of group psychotherapy. The authors then focus on clinical material, partly in order to illustrate the theoretical points discussed, but mainly in order to bring to life the practice of group psychotherapy. The emphasis on practice is an essential feature of the Tavistock approach.

Abstract
Both the risk and the rate of development of atherosclerosis are increased in diabetics, but the mechanisms involved are unknown. Here we report a glucose-mediated increase in CD36 mRNA translation efficiency that results in increased expression of the macrophage scavenger receptor CD36. Expression of CD36 was increased in endarterectomy lesions from patients with a history of hyperglycemia. Macrophages that were differentiated from human peripheral blood monocytes in the presence of high glucose concentrations showed increased expression of cell-surface CD36 secondary to an increase in translational efficiency of CD36 mRNA. We obtained similar data from primary cells isolated from human vascular lesions, and we found that glucose sensitivity is a function of ribosomal reinitiation following translation of an upstream open reading frame (uORF). Increased translation of macrophage CD36 transcript under high glucose conditions provides a mechanism for accelerated atherosclerosis in diabetics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular messages which drive angiogenesis in the adventitia of an aneurysmal aorta are uncertain. The emergence of molecular phenotyping by cDNA expression arrays provides a simple and rapid method for a preliminary approach to the analysis of molecular messengers for neovascularization in cultured cells. In the present experiment, fibroblasts cultured from the aorta of a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were compared with normal dermal fibroblasts, on an array that evaluates several mRNAs with known roles in angiogenesis. METHODS RNA was isolated from fibroblasts and purified. Labelled cDNA probes were generated from a mixture of RNA and CDS primers. Atlas Array membranes (Clontech) were prehybridized by ExpressHyb buffer. The cDNA probes were then added to the membranes, which were exposed to Phospholmage Screen (Molecular Dynamics) and analysed by a dedicated computer program. RESULTS The most significantly upregulated mRNAs in AAA (by comparison to dermal fibroblasts) were: MCAF, MDNCF, EGR-1, VEGF, FGF-7, Mal protein, Mac Marcks, Transducin, Interleukin-9 receptor, and TNF. CONCLUSION VEGF and TNF were upregulated, as expected. However, the upregulation of monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) and monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF) suggest that the fibroblast may be more significantly involved in driving the inflammatory response that leads to AAA than previously realized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of sclerotherapy, laser therapy, and intense pulsed-light therapy is to produce long-term, cosmetically significant elimination of disfiguring leg veins. This study examines the histologic and clinical effects of using a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser system on lower extremity vessels. DESIGN A single treatment using the following parameters: wavelength, 1064 nm (multiple synchronized pulsing); spot size, 6 mm; pulse duration, 14 milliseconds (single pulse); and fluence, 130 J/cm(2). SETTING Private dermatology practice. PATIENTS Thirteen women (mean age, 38.5 years) with blue venulectasia, 0.5 to 1.5 mm in diameter (class 2), and reticular veins, 1.5 to 3.0 mm in diameter (class 3), on the thighs. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Examination of treated and untreated areas by 2 masked observers using macrophotography (1, 2, 3, and 6 months after treatment), Doppler, and optical chromatographic changes. Findings from three 2-mm punch biopsies from treated (immediately and 4 weeks after treatment) and untreated sites. Routine histologic examination; special stains (for elastic and connective tissue and for mucopolysaccharides); and immunohistochemical analysis for expression of the heat shock protein hsp70, tie2 (an endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase), and transforming growth factors beta1 and beta2. RESULTS Eight patients (62%) manifested 75% to 100% clearing of treated vessel surface area. Treated areas revealed perivascular hemorrhage, thrombi, fragmentation and homogenization of elastic fibers, and eosinophilia of vessel walls. Expression of hsp70 and transforming growth factor beta was increased in treated vessels. CONCLUSIONS Our data confirm the effectiveness of 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment in clearing dilated lower extremity veins, probably by heat-induced vessel damage and subsequent fibrosis. Maintenance of clearing was achieved for up to 6 months. However, the presence of recanalized thrombi in some of the specimens suggests the potential for long-term vessel reappearance.

Abstract
The development of atherosclerotic lesions results from aberrant cell migration, proliferation, and extracellular matrix production. In advanced lesions, however, cellular apoptosis, leading to lesion remodeling, predominates. During lesion formation, the neurotrophins and the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinases, trks B and C, are induced and mediate smooth muscle cell migration. Here we demonstrate that a second neurotrophin receptor, p75(NTR), is expressed by established human atherosclerotic lesions and late lesions that develop after balloon injury of the rat thoracic aorta. The p75(NTR), a member of the tumor necrosis factor/FAS receptor family, can modulate trk receptor function as well as initiate cell death when expressed in cells of the nervous system that lack kinase-active trk receptors. p75(NTR) expression colocalizes to neointimal cells, which express smooth muscle cell alpha-actin and are expressed by cultured human endarterectomy-derived cells (HEDC). Areas of the plaque expressing p75(NTR) demonstrate increased TUNEL positivity, and HEDC undergo apoptosis in response to the neurotrophins. Finally, neurotrophins also induced apoptosis of a smooth muscle cell line genetically manipulated to express p75(NTR), but lacking trk receptor expression. These studies identify the regulated expression of neurotrophins and p75(NTR) as an inducer of smooth muscle cell apoptosis in atherosclerotic lesions.

Abstract
Up to 15% of all colorectal cancers are considered to be replication error positive (RER(+)) and contain mutations at hundreds of thousands of microsatellite repeat sequences. Recently, a number of intragenic mononucleotide repeat sequences have been demonstrated to be targets for inactivating genes in RER(+)colorectal tumors. In this study, thermostable DNA ligases were tested for the ability to detect alterations in microsatellite sequences in colon tumor samples. Ligation profiles on mononucleotide repeat sequences were determined for four related thermostable DNA ligases, Thermus thermophilus ( Tth ) ligase, Thermus sp. AK16D ligase, Aquifex aeolicus ligase and the K294R mutant of the Tth ligase. While the limit of detection for point mutations was one mutation in 1000 wild-type sequences, the ability to detect a single base deletion in a 10 base mononucleotide repeat was one mutation in 100 wild-type sequences. Furthermore, the misligation error increased exponentially as the length of the mono-nucleotide repeat increased, and was 10% of the correct signal for a 19 base mononucleotide repeat. A fluorescent ligase-based assay [polymerase chain reaction/ligase detection reaction (PCR/LDR)] correlated with results obtained using a radioactive assay to detect instability within the TGF-beta Type II receptor gene. PCR/LDR was also used to detect the APCI1307K mononucleotide repeat allele which has a carrier frequency of 6.1% in Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. In a blind study, 30 samples that had been typed for the presence of the APCI1307K allele were tested. The PCR/LDR results correlated with those obtained using sequencing and allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization for 16 samples carrying the mutation and 13 wild-type samples. Ligation assays that characterize mononucleotide repeats can be used to rapidly detect somatic mutations in tumors, and to screen for individuals who have a hereditary predisposition to develop colon cancer.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy has become an accepted treatment for many vascular occlusions. However, the relative rates of lysis of the different methods of drug administration have not been quantified. We developed an in vitro model to simulate and quantify local lytic therapy of a thrombotic vascular occlusion and tested it by evaluating three catheter-directed lytic strategies. METHODS Seven-centimeter-long segments of 125I-fibrinogen-labeled thrombus made from recently expired human blood from a blood bank were formed in plastic tubes and were placed in a flowing stream of saline. Using multisidehole catheters, the clots were "treated" with intrathrombic saline or urokinase administered by drip infusion or forced injection using identical total doses of drug and volumes of fluid. Using endhole catheters, saline or urokinase was drip infused into the leading edge of the thrombus using the same protocol. A collimated scintillation detector was used to quantify the amount of activity remaining in the thrombus during each experiment, and the resultant time-activity curves for the different trials were compared. RESULTS Forced-injection administration of urokinase using a multisidehole catheter produced the fastest lysis, resulting in a half-life of 42 min. The other infusion methods were slower, with half-lives of 153 min for multisidehole urokinase drip infusion, 365 min for endhole urokinase drip infusion, and more than 1,000 min for multisidehole catheter forced injection of saline and multisidehole and endhole saline drip infusion. The differences among these groups were reproducible and statistically significant. CONCLUSION Results suggest that a simple and inexpensive in vitro model simulating lysis of a vascular occlusion can produce reproducible quantitative data. The data demonstrate that forced injection of lytic agents with a multisidehole catheter enhances the rate of thrombolysis and that the enhancement is not primarily attributable to the mechanical effect of this mode of administration.

Abstract
S phase entry, i.e. start of DNA replication, is a crucial step in proliferation. Inhibition of S phase entry correlates with inhibition of hypusine formation, an event affecting only the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A). Its hypusine-containing sequence was postulated to authorize polysomal utilization of specific transcripts for proteins necessary to enable DNA replication. Using mimosine to reversibly suppress the hypusine-forming deoxyhypusyl hydroxylase (E.C. 1.14.99.29) in cells while differentially displaying their polysomal versus non-polysomal mRNA populations, we report the detection and classification of several mRNA species that indeed disappear from and reappear at polysomes in concert with inhibition and disinhibition, respectively, of hypusine formation. Based on initial sequence data, two translationally controlled enzymes, both critical for proliferation, are identified as candicate products of such mRNAs, methionine adenosyltransferase (E.C. 2.5.1.6) and cytochrome-c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) subunit I. The existence of such putative hypusine-dependent messenger nucleic acids (hymns) provides the basis for a proposal on their molecular function in onset of multiplication.

Abstract
A patient with idiopathic calcification of the basal ganglia (ICBG) manifested a schizophrenialike psychosis beginning at age 17 and later developed a complex movement disorder and mild dementia. Extensive calcification of the basal ganglia was demonstrated by computerized tomography. Review of reported cases of ICBG suggests that patients who become symptomatic early in adulthood are more likely to present with psychosis, whereas those presenting later in life typically manifest dementia and a motor system disorder. ICBG, like other conditions affecting subcortical structures, can produce schizophrenialike symptoms that may precede the onset of intellectual deterioration and extrapyramidal motor disturbances.
