Alternative splicing of exon 3 of the human growth hormone receptor is the result of an unusual genetic polymorphism.

Two isoforms of the human growth hormone receptor (hGHR), which differ in the presence (hGHRwt) or absence (hGHRd3) of exon 3, are expressed in the placenta. Specifically, three expression patterns are observed: only hGHRwt, only hGHRd3, or an approximately 1:1 combination of both isoforms. We investigated several potential regulatory mechanisms which might account for the expression of the hGHR isoforms. The frequency of hGHRd3 expression did not change when placentas from differing stages of gestation were examined, suggesting splicing was not developmentally regulated. However, when hGHR isoform expression patterns were examined in each component of a given placenta, it was evident that alternative splicing of exon 3 is individual-specific. Surprisingly, the individual-specific regulation of hGHR isoforms appears to be the result of a polymorphism in the hGHR gene. We analyzed hGHRwt and hGHRd3 expression in Hutterite pedigrees, and our results are consistent with a simple Mendelian inheritance of two differing alleles in which exon 3 is spliced in an "all-or-none" fashion. We conclude the alternative splicing of exon 3 in hGHR transcripts is the result of an unusual polymorphism which significantly alters splicing of the hGHR transcript and that the relatively high frequency (approximately 10%) of homozygous hGHRd3 expression suggests the possibility it may play a role in polygenic determined events.

A preliminary report on the effect of laser therapy on the healing of cutaneous surgical wounds as a consequence of an inversely proportional relationship between wavelength and intensity: Histological study in rats

Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to assess the histological effects of different wavelengths and intensities on the healing process of cutaneous wounds. Background Data: Tissue repair is a dynamic interactive process which involves mediators, cells and extra-cellular matrix. Several reports on the use of laser therapy have shown that the healing process is positively affected when the correct parameters are used. Methods: Eighteen standardized wounds were surgically created on the dorsum of male and female Wistar rats, which were subsequently divided into two experimental groups according to wavelength used λ.670 or λ685 nm) for lasertherapy (LLLT). Each group was divided into three subgroups of three animals according to the intensity of the applied irradiation (2,15, or 25 mW). Twelve animals were used as entreated controls and were not irradiated. The irradiation was carried out during seven consecutive days. The animals were sacrificed eight days after surgery. The specimens were removed, kept in 4% formaldehyde for 24 h, routinely prepared to wax, stained with H&E, and analyzed under light microscopy. Results: For both groups, light microscopy showed a substitution repair process; however, when LLLT was used, a positive biomodulatory effect was detectable, chiefly associated with shorter wavelength and low intensity. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that LLLT improved cutaneous wound repair and that the effect is a result of an inversely proportional relationship between wavelength and intensity, with treatment more effective when combining higher intensity with short wavelength or lower intensity with higher wavelength.

Contribution to Theme A of the Benchmark Workshop: Effect of Concrete Swelling on the Equilibrium and Displacements of an Arch Dam

The Kariba dam is undergoing concrete expansion as a result of an alkali-aggregate reaction. The model adopted to simulate the process is explained in the paper; it is based on the model first proposed by Ulm et al, as later modified by Saouma and Perotti. It has been implemented in the commercial finite element code Abaqus and applied to solve the benchmark problem. The parameters of the model were calibrated using the data recorded up to 1995. The calibrated model was then used for predicting the evolution of the dam up to the present date. Apart from this prediction the paper offers a number of conclusions, such as the fact that the stress level appears to have a major influence on the expansion process; and it presents some suggestions to improve the formulation of the benchmark, such as providing temperature data and widening the locations and conditions of the data employed in the calibration
