Expression of larval hemolymph proteins (Lhp) genes and protein synthesis in the fat body of greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) larvae during diapause.

When one-day-old, last instar Galleria mellonella larvae are exposed to 18 degrees C they enter diapause and cease further development for several months. During diapause a group of proteins (72-84 kDa) synthesized in the fat body and secreted into the hemolymph is markedly elevated. Partial sequencing of the N-terminus of two proteins from this group confirmed their identity with larval hemolymph proteins (LHP) belonging to the family of hexameric storage proteins. The expression of two Lhp genes of known sequence (Lhp76 and Lhp82) were monitored in both diapausing and non-diapausing individuals. The expression of both genes and subsequent synthesis of the proteins (LHP76 and LHP82) is maintained until at least 90-100 days of diapause.

Charged-particle multiplicity near midrapidity in central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[SNN]=56 and 130 GeV.

We present the first measurement of pseudorapidity densities of primary charged particles near midrapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)] = 56 and 130 GeV. For the most central collisions, we find the charged-particle pseudorapidity density to be dN/deta|(|eta|<1) = 408+/-12(stat)+/-30(syst) at 56 GeV and 555+/-12(stat)+/-35(syst) at 130 GeV, values that are higher than any previously observed in nuclear collisions. Compared to proton-antiproton collisions, our data show an increase in the pseudorapidity density per participant by more than 40% at the higher energy.

Influence of low temperature on the synthesis of some Galleria mellonella proteins.

In developing Galleria mellonella larvae (reared at 30 degrees C) three proteins of 74, 76 and 81/82 kDa were identified. They represent a group of storage proteins (LHP proteins). In Galleria larvae, the development of which is arrested by low temperature (18 degrees C), accumulation of the 74, 76 and 81/82 kDa proteins was detected in the hemolymph. The synthesis of 74 kDa and 76 kDa proteins started after 24 h, and that of about 80 kDa after 96 h following the transfer of larvae from 30 degrees C to 18 degrees C. 20-Hydroxyecdysone inhibited synthesis of the 74 and 76 kDa proteins in larvae exposed to low temperature. The arrest of development of Galleria larvae is associated with the synthesis and accumulation of storage proteins, and ecdysteroids are involved in these processes.

Intracranial aneurysmal bone cyst: a rare CT appearance.

Aneurysmal bone cyst occurring within the calvarium is uncommon. We report a case presenting as an intracranial space-occupying lesion. Fluid levels within a lesion on CT is very suggestive but inconstant. The theory of a pre-existing lesion is noted.

Transsexualism and anatomic sex ratio reversal in Poland.

Transsexualism has been described in numerous papers as a condition appearing, on the average, four times as often with somatic males than with somatic females. Against this background we consider the situation in Poland, where, during three consecutive observation cycles over 6 years, the results obtained were reversed. Among our transsexuals the ratio was 5.5:1, with the majority being somatic females.

[Intracranial hematoma in ruptured aneurysms. Apropos of 57 cases].

In 200 consecutive cases of ruptured aneurysms volume of resulting hematomas exceeded 5 ml in 57 patients (28.5%) and 50 ml in 25 patients (12.5%). We have studied the radio anatomical and clinical datas of these 57 cases: In most of them (90%) the aneurysm situation appears to determine hematomas characteristic features. Fatal issues are related to hematoma volume when above 50 ml and to vasospasm in other cases. Results in the 48 operated cases lead to advise neurosurgeons against surgical procedure when volume is greater than 60 ml in grade V patients (unless operation could take place immediately after rupture onset), and when severe intra ventricular hemorrhage is present. Death in ruptured aneurysms is a consequence of hematomas volume in at least 10% cases. Hematomas or vasospasm are responsible for sequellae or fatal issues which still occurs in 15-20% of overall population of patients with ruptured aneurysms, despite improvement in management and timing. Cases finding and preventive surgery of non incidental aneurysms should be a matter of concern.

[Intraspinal epidural hematoma in the hemophiliac].

The authors report a series of 11 epidural haematoma in hemophilia. Of these, one case is observed in the department of Neurosurgery at the CHRU. From this study, main points results: a mechanic etiology was found in four cases; the main clinical and radiological signs are those of epidural haematoma; the indication to operate is required and the hemophiliacs should receive a "substitutive" treatment as soon as possible.
