Propionibacterium acnes, a non-spore-forming, anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium, is most notably recognized for its association with acne vulgaris (I. Kurokawa et al., Exp. Dermatol. 18:821–832, 2009). We now present the draft genome sequence of an antibiotic-resistantP. acnesstrain, PRP-38, isolated from an acne patient in the United Kingdom and belonging to the novel type IC cluster.

A flexible panel consisting of 38 informative microsatellite markers for Salmo trutta is described. These markers were selected from a pool of over 150 candidate loci that can be readily amplified in four multiplex PCR groups but other permutations are also possible. The basic properties of each markers were assessed in six population samples from both the Burrishoole catchment, in the west of Ireland, and Lough Neagh, in Northern Ireland. A method to assess the relative utility of individual markers for the detection of population genetic structuring is also described. Given its flexibility, technical reliability and high degree of informativeness, the use of this panel of markers is advocated as a standard for S. trutta genetic studies. © 2013 The Authors.

Energy levels and radiative rates for transitions in five Br-like ions (Sr IV, Y V, Zr VI, Nb VII and Mo VIII) are calculated with the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package (GRASP). Extensive configuration interaction has been included and results are presented among the lowest 31 levels of the 4s24p5, 4s24p44d and 4s4p6 configurations. Lifetimes for these levels have also been determined, although unfortunately no measurements are available with which to compare. However, recently theoretical results have been reported by Singh et al (2013 Phys. Scr. 88 035301) using the same GRASP code. But their reported data for radiative rates and lifetimes cannot be reproduced and show discrepancies of up to five orders of magnitude with the present calculations.

Members of the human epidermal receptor (HER) family are frequently associated with aggressive disease and poor prognosis in multiple malignancies. Lapatinib is a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of lapatinib, alone and in combination with SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan (CPT-11), in colon and gastric cancer cell lines. Concentration-dependent antiproliferative effects of both lapatinib and SN-38 were observed in all colon and gastric cancer cell lines tested but varied significantly between individual cell lines (lapatinib range 0.08-11.7 muM; SN-38 range 3.6-256 nM). Lapatinib potently inhibited the growth of a HER-2 overexpressing gastric cancer cell line and demonstrated moderate activity in gastric and colon cancer cells with detectable HER-2 expression. The combination of lapatinib and SN-38 interacted synergistically to inhibit cell proliferation in all colon and gastric cancer cell lines tested. Cotreatment with lapatinib and SN-38 also resulted in enhanced cell cycle arrest and the induction of apoptosis with subsequent cellular pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrating that lapatinib promoted the increased intracellular accumulation and retention of SN-38 when compared to SN-38 treatment alone. Finally, the combination of lapatinib and CPT-11 demonstrated synergistic antitumor efficacy in the LoVo colon cancer mouse xenograft model with no apparent increase in toxicity compared to CPT-11 monotherapy. These results provide compelling preclinical rationale indicating lapatinib to be a potentially efficacious chemotherapeutic combination partner for irinotecan in the treatment of gastrointestinal carcinomas.

Mit der Hannoverschen Korruptionsskala (HKS 38) kann die Einstellung gegenüber Korruption gemessen werden. Die HKS 38 besteht aus 38 Items, die den Subskalen kognitiv, affektiv und konativ zugeordnet werden können. Die 38 Items der Endversion wurden anhand studentischer Stichproben (n=709) per Itemanalyse nach den Regeln der klassischen Testtheorie aus 130 Items selektiert. Für die Gesamtskala sowie die drei Subskalen stehen einheitliche Normen zur Verfügung. Die Daten für die Normierung wurden in einer repräsentativen Telefonumfrage innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Wohnbevölkerung erhoben (n=1.391). Der Einsatzbereich der Skala ist ab 18 Jahre.

Se realizaron experimentos con peces vivos a fin de determinar el valor de la Fuerza de Blanco de anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) utilizando frecuencias de 38 y 120 kHz en la Bahía Paraíso (11°12 'S) a bordo del BIC Humboldt entre los días 01 y 07 de noviembre de 1997. Se colectaron especímenes vivos utilizando dos lanchas de apoyo a bordo de las cuales se mantuvo viva la muestra, empleando tanques de fibra de vidrio con circulación de agua de mar. Las muestras fueron trasladadas al vivero principal ubicado amarrado al BIC Humboldt para aclimatar los especimenes por 24 horas. Luego, se iniciaron las series de experimentos de otras 24 horas (dos para 38 kHz y dos para 120 kHz) consistentes en la medición de la ecointegración total de la jaula versus el interior de la misma. Los resultados fueron obtenidos utilizando hoja de cálculo.

Con el objetivo de evaluar la biomasa y distribución del krill se llevó a cabo un Crucero de Evaluación Hidroacústica a bordo del BIC Humboldt entre los días 12 y 24 de enero de 1998, a largo del Estrecho de Bransfield y alrededores de la Isla Elefante. Previamente se efectuaron calibraciones de la ecosonda SIMRAD EK 500 utilizando blanco estándar. El trayecto utilizado para el muestreo acústico fue sistemático, paralelo con separaciones de 15 y 12 mn (Estrecho Bransfield e Isla Elefante, respectivamente). Se utilizaron frecuencias de 38 y 120 kHz; la frecuencia de 120 kHz se determinó para la detección entre 2 y 150 mn de profundidad y la de 38 kHz entre 150 - 400 m. Para obtener el área de distribución del krill se utilizó un software de interpolación de datos; y para estimados de biomasa, la metodología de estratificación por cuadrantes de 0,5 - de latitud 1,0 - de longitud. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el krill se encontró en gran parte del área evaluada, con las mayores concentraciones cerca de la Isla D 'Urville, al este de la Isla Rey Jorge, sur de la Isla Robert y en áreas cercanas a la Isla Elefante, distribuidas principalmente entre 50 y 100 m de profundidad.
