DNA sequences homologous to the mouse intracisternal A particle and endogenous type C retrovirus were detected in the DNAs of Schistosoma japonicum adults and S. mansoni eggs. Furthermore, other kinds of repetitive sequences in the host genome such as mouse type 1 Alu sequence (B1), mouse type 2 Alu sequence (B2) and mo-2 sequence, a mouse mini-satellite, were also detected in the DNAs from adults and eggs of S. japonicum and eggs of S. mansoni. Almost all of the sequences described above were absent in the DNAs of S. mansoni adults. The DNA fingerprints of schistosomes, using the mo-2 sequence, were indistinguishable from each other and resembled those of their murine hosts. Moreover, the mo-2 sequence was hypermethylated in the DNAs of schistosomes and its amount was variable in them. These facts indicate that host-related sequences are actually present in schistosomes and that the mo-2 repetitive sequence exists probably in extra-chromosome.

Is the diel cycle of routine metabolic rate in mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) affected by near-infrared lighting used for visualizing behavior of fishes at night?

The metabolic rate of a freely moving fish (routine metabolic rate) is tightly coupled with volitional movement (spontaneous activity), both of which commonly show strong daily cycles linked to the species-specific diel activity pattern. Mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), an important estuarine fish in the north western Atlantic Ocean, are historically reported as diurnal (i.e.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare form of aggressive B-cell lymphoma with limited molecular information reported regarding interferon regulatory factor 4 ( IRF4 ) status. Here, we presented 3 EBV-positive DLBCL cases with IRF4 rearrangement (EBV+DLBCL- IRF4 -R) verified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Three patients, including 1 male and 2 females (median age: 64 y; range: 45 to 68 y), had normal immune function.

Extended reduction of [MoCp(μ-Cl)(μ-PBu)(NO)] () with Na(Hg) in acetonitrile (MeCN) at room temperature resulted in an unprecedented full cleavage of the C≡N bond of a coordinated MeCN molecule to yield the vinylidene derivative Na[MoCp(μ-PBu)(μ-CCH)(NO)], which upon protonation with (NH)PF gave the ethylidyne complex [MoCp(μ-PBu)(μ-CMe)(NO)] [Mo1-Mo2 = 2.9218(2) Å] in a selective and reversible way. Controlled reduction of at 273 K yielded instead, after protonation, the 30-electron acetamidinate complex [MoCp(μ-PBu)(μ-κ:κ'-HNCMeNH)(μ-NO)]PF [Mo1-Mo2 = 2.

Incurable bacterial infection and intractable multidrug resistance remain critical challenges in public health. A prevalent approach against bacterial infection is phototherapy including photothermal and photodynamic therapy, which is unfortunately limited by low penetration depth of light accompanied with inevitable hyperthermia and phototoxicity damaging healthy tissues. Thus, eco-friendly strategy with biocompatibility and high antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria is urgently desired.

Unlabelled: The abundance and types of reef-bearing carbonate platforms reflect the evolution of Devonian climate, with conspicuous microbial-algal reefs in the warm Early and Late Devonian and sponge-coral reefs in the cooler Middle Devonian. A dolomitized Wenlock-Lower Devonian microbial-algal reef-bearing carbonate platform hosts epigenetic copper-cobalt-germanium (Cu-Co-Ge) sulfide mineralization at Ruby Creek-Bornite in the Brooks Range, Alaska. Here, we present rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) radiometric ages and molybdenum and sulfur (δMo = +2.
