Inducible and constitutive -galactosidase formation in cells recovering from protein synthesis inhibition.

Inducible and constitutive beta-galactosidase formation and radioactive amino acid incorporation were measured in cells recovering from various treatments which inhibit protein synthesis in the cell. Undelayed beta-galactosidase formation was found in stringent auxotrophs recovering from amino acid starvation, in cells recovering from glycerol or potassium starvation, and in bacteria recovering from puromycin treatment. Delayed beta-galactosidase formation was found in relaxed auxotrophs recovering from amino acid starvation and in prototrophs recovering from chloramphenicol or from tetracycline treatment. The length of this delay was directly proportional to the duration of the treatment. All cells recovering from the various treatments exhibited a slightly decreased rate of beta-galactosidase formation and an increase in radioactive amino acid incorporation.

Three-dimensional low dose gadolinium-enhanced peripheral MR venography.

Our initial experience with low dose contrast-enhanced (LCE) peripheral MR venography (MRV) is presented. Five subjects were studied using three-dimensional (3D) fast imaging with a steady-state precession (FISP) sequence. A dose of 60 ml of gadopentetate dimeglumine diluted 1:20 was used. A tourniquet was applied during lower extremity MR venography. The venous anatomy was well depicted with the 3D LCE technique in all subjects. Compared to the two-dimensional (2D) time-of-flight (TOF) technique, acquisition time of 3D LCE MRV was much shorter, images looked sharper, and more veins could be seen. It is not affected by in-plane saturation and can be performed repeatedly because of the low dose of contrast. This technique holds promise for the detection of venous thrombosis and other disorders.
