Genetic diversity among cultivars of spring barley revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD).

RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) polymorphism was studied in 23 malting and non-malting spring barley cultivars included in the official list of Polish cultivated varieties. Twenty-four 10-mer primers were tested in each cultivar, giving altogether 149 amplification products, 45% of which were polymorphic. The number of polymorphic bands revealed by one primer ranged from 1 to 6, with an average of 2.8. Genetic distance for all pairs of compared varieties was estimated and a dendrogram was constructed using unweighted pair group method of arithmetic means. The genetic distance between cultivars ranged from 0.11 for cvs. Apex and Bryl to 0.62 for cvs. Orthega and Madonna. Of the seven malting cultivars only two (Brenda and Stratus) formed one group at D = 0.25. The genetic distance between cvs. Brenda and Scarlett, especially recommended for brewery, was equal to 0.34. The detected polymorphism appeared to be sufficient for assessing genetic distances between cultivars, but on the basis of this polymorphism groups of malting and non-malting cultivars were not clearly distinguished.

Microsatellite instability in thyroid papillary carcinoma and multinodular hyperplasia.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular landmark of mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. The impaired efficiency of DNA repair mechanisms promotes carcinogenesis as well as contributes to tumour progression. Until now, only few studies on MSI in thyroid tumours have been published. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate MSI as a possible characteristic feature of thyroid tumours. The analysis of 12 thyroid papillary carcinomas and 17 multinodular hyperplasias at 13 microsatellite loci showed MSI and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in both types of lesion, with more alterations noted in the papillary thyroid carcinomas (in 65%) than in multinodular hyperplasia (in 35%). In carcinomas, LOH occurred more frequently than MSI, while in multinodular hyperplasia the LOH/MSI ratio is almost equal.

[Use of antibiotics for septic complications in obstetrics and gynecology].

There was made an evaluation of efficacy activities Glaxo's Company drug-Fortum among patients in whom during the post-operative course or during pregnancy were heavy life-threatening infections. Fortum drug was administered in 12 from 13 patients as a second course after the minimal period of 4th days of using antibiotics first course. In one causes Fortum drug was administered immediately after instrumental delivery. In all causes Fortum drug appeared efficacious and its administration in heavy infections caused in obstetrics and gynecology seems to be reasonable.

Effect of phenolic tar on the work of activated sludge.

The effect of different phenolic tar concentrations on the work of activated sludge in petrochemical and synthetic wastewater was investigated. The concentrations of 440 and 300 mg/l of phenolic tar did not show a destructive effect on the activated sludge and its work. The highest concentration of phenolic tar (880 mg/l) reduced the efficiency of purification and changed the structure of the activated sludge.

[A case of crossed aphasia in a right-handed person].

A 17-year-old boy, right-handed, and without a family history of left-handedness is described. Occlusion of the right internal carotid artery caused in him left-sided hemiparesis with aphasia. The cross-aphasia of right-handed individuals is discussed in the light of literature reports.
