Socioeconomic causes of loss of animal genetic diversity: analysis and assessment

The proximate causes and processes involved in loss of breeds are outlined. The path-dependent effect and Swanson's dominance-effect are discussed in relation to lock-in of breed selection. These effects help to explain genetic erosion. It is shown that the extension of markets and economic globalisation have contributed significantly to the loss of breeds. The decoupling of animal husbandry from surrounding natural environmental conditions is further eroding the stock of genetic resources. Recent trends in animal husbandry raise serious sustainability issues, apart from animal welfare concerns. The extension of markets and economic globalisation have contributed significantly to the rapid loss of domestic breeds, especially livestock. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Persistent colonization with Tannerella forsythensis and loss of attachment in adolescents

Colonization with Tannerella forsythensis may characterize the conversion of periodontally healthy sites into diseased sites. This three-year study describes the prevalence of T forsythensis and its relationship to clinical loss of attachment (LOA) in a group of adolescents considered at risk of developing early chronic periodontitis. Adolescents with (LOA+) and without (LOA-) loss of attachment were examined at baseline and 1.5 and 3 yrs subsequently. On each occasion, attachment loss was measured on selected teeth, and the presence of T. forsythensis in their subgingival plaque samples was determined by PCR. T. forsythensis prevalence in LOA+ subjects at baseline (64%) increased to 82% and 86% on subsequent examinations. In contrast, prevalence of T. forsythensis in LOA- subjects was always significantly lower (25%, 36%, and 32%, respectively). The odds of loss of attachment were 8.16 times greater in subjects infected with T. forsythensis at each examination. These results suggest that T. forsythensis is strongly associated with loss of attachment in this adolescent population.

Selective loss of NMDA receptor NR1 subunit isoforms in Alzheimer's disease

Previous work had shown that the ratio of NMDA receptor NR1 subunit mRNA transcripts containing an N-terminal splice cassette to those that do not is markedly lower in regions of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain that are susceptible to pathological damage, compared with spared regions in the same cases or homotropic regions in controls. To elucidate the origins of this difference in proportionate expression, we measured the absolute levels of each of the eight NR1 transcripts by quantitative internally standardized RT-PCR assay. Expression of transcripts with the cassette was strongly attenuated in susceptible regions of Alzheimer's brain, whereas expression of non-cassette transcripts differed little from that in controls. The expression of other NR1 splice variants was not associated with pathology relevant to disease status, although some combinations of splice cassettes were well maintained in AD cases. The population profile of NR1 transcripts in occipital cortex differed from the profiles in other brain regions studied. Western analysis confirmed that the expression of protein isoforms containing the N-terminal peptide was very low in susceptible areas of the Alzheimer's brain. Cells that express NR1 subunits with the N-terminal cassette may be selectively vulnerable to toxicity in AD.
