[Comparison of three different methods of axial rotation assessment in idiopathic scoliosis].

In a group of 20 children with idiopathic scoliosis the degree of axial rotation was measured with the use of radiography (Drerup's method), ultrasonography and computer tomography. The measurements obtained by Drerup's radiographic method and by ultrasonography were compared with the results of the CT measurements, the latter being considered as the most precise. According to the statistical analysis of the results the spinal axial rotation measurements according to the Drerup's radiographic method appeared to be more precise than the ultrasonographic method. An equation was presented permitting to calculate the tomographic rotation angle RAsag on the basis of the results of the Drerup's radiographic measurement.

Cloning and characterization of the 5' part of the high molecular weight transcript of rat DNA polymerase beta.

A rat brain cDNA library has been constructed. Three identical clones of about 2.2 kb representing high molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcript were found. Sequencing proved our earlier suggestion that both high and low molecular weight DNA polymerase beta transcripts have the same open reading frame and differ mainly at the 3' end. Because of that, alternative polyadenylation is discussed as a possible mechanism for tissue- and development-specific regulation of the DNA polymerase beta gene expression.
