    Notes: Summary Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry evaluation of total body bone mineral content (TBBM), total bone mineral density (TBMD), and regional bone mineral content (BMC) (head, trunk, arms, and legs) was carried out in order to assess sex differences of bone in 120 women and 121 men aged 15–29 years. Subjects from both sexes were divided into 5-year groups (15 through 19, 20 through 24, and 25 through 29 years old, respectively). Significantly higher values for TBBM, TBMD, and regional BMC were observed in males compared with females in the 20 to 24 and 25 to 29-year-old groups (P〈0.001), but not in the group aged 15–19. After adjusting TBBM for lean body mass (LBM), we observed significantly lower values of TBBM/LBM in the males compared with females in all the age groups. A positive and significant correlation was observed between TBBM and age in the males of all the groups (r=0.624, P〈0.001), but not in the females. These data suggest that total bone mass peak acquisition takes place earlier in women than in men, leading to more reduced bone mass value, which in turn may be an osteoporosis predisposing factor.

    Notes: Summary Thirty-six women with vertebral osteoporosis showed significantly decreased levels of biochemical markers of nutrition, transferrin (P〈0.001), prealbumin (P〈0.001), retinol binding-protein (P〈0.001), and fibronectin (P〈0.001), compared with 40 healthy women of similar age. Multiple regression analysis showed a significant (R2=0.509; P=0.0068) correlation between bone mineral content and biochemical markers of nutrition in the osteoporotic patients but not in the control group. These data suggest that postmenopausal osteoporosis may be associated with a nutritional deficiency.

    Notes: Summary Changes in bone mineral content induced by GnRH agonists were investigated by measuring total body bone mineral content (TBBM) and regional bone mineral content (BMC) (arms, legs, trunk, pelvis) and densities with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in 25 premenopausal women before and after a 6-month treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Biological markers of bone remodeling, estrogens, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were also measured. Weight and body mass index increased significantly after treatment (P〈0.05), and TBBM, corrected for weight (TBBM/W), decreased (P〈0.001). The changes in BMC that we observed ranged from +2.5% to -6.9%. The greatest decrease in regional BMC occurred in the trunk (4.4%, P〈0.001), with TBBM decreasing by 2.1% (P〈0.001). No significant changes were observed in the limbs. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) increased significantly after treatment (P〈0.001) and a significant negative correlation between TRAP and TBBM (P〈0.001) and between TRAP and estradiol (P〈0.001) were observed before treatment. The lack of changes observed in the BMC of the limbs indicate that GnRH agonists cause a preferential loss of BMC in trunk osseous structures, a situation similar to that of the first years of menopause.

    Notes: Abstract Mannoproteins from cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae synthesized at successive stages of the population growth cycle have been solubilized with Zymolyase and subsequently analyzed. The major change along the population cycle concerned a large size mannoprotein material; the size of the newly-synthesized molecules varied from 120,000–500,000 (mean of about 200,000) at early exponential phase to 250,000–350,000 (mean of about 300,000) at late exponential phase. These differences are due to modifications in the amount of N-glycosidically linked mannose residues, since the size of the peptide moiety was 90,000–100,000 at all growth stages and the level of O-glycosylation changed only slightly. After, incubation of the purified walls with concanavalin A-ferritin and subsequent analysis by electron microscopy, labelling was localized at the external and internal faces of the walls. The middle space of these was labelled after digestion of the glucan network with Zymolyase, which demonstrate the presence of mannoproteins in close contact with the structural glucan molecules throughout the wall.

    Notes: In a search for Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutants resistant to the antifungal agent papulacandin B, a morphological mutant was isolated. The mutant is round shaped in contrast to the rod shaped parental strain. This morphological defect segregated as a recessive Mendelian character and was not observed in other papulacandin B resistant mutants belonging to the same complementation group. The mutation mapped in the right arm of S. pombe chromosome III very close to papl marker. Mutant cell walls were more susceptible to alkali extraction and Novozyme degradation than those from the wild-type. A specific reduction in the cell wall galactomannan fraction was the only significant difference detected as compared to the wild-type strain. Levels of β(1,3)-glucan and mannan synthases as well as other enzymic periplasmic mannoproteins were very similar in wild type and mutant strains.

    Notes: A study to determine the incidence of Staphylococccus aureus in 705 meals from several cafeterias in Valencia, Spain was undertaken. Out of the 705 studied meals, 81 samples (11.1%) had coagulase positive staphylococci with a range of S. aureus from 100 to 53000 cfu/g. The four highest values (〉 10,000 S. aureus cfu/g) were obtained with Russian type salad, meatballs, chicken croquettes and salad. These products involved more handling stages. These data show that food handlers may contribute to food poisoning and that there are some handling practices that require more attention.

    Notes: Abstract We studied the behavior of radiogrammetric and densitometric measurements in relation to season and body weight in a group of 30 healthy premenopausal women. Measurements were made at 6-month intervals, in summer/fall when bone density increases and in winter/spring when bone density declines. Total body bone mineral content (TBBMC) and regional bone mineral content (RBMC) were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Metacarpal radiogrammetry was carried out with computed radiography. Weight and body mass index increased significantly in winter (P〈0.05) and total body and RBMC decreased (P〈0.001). The opposite occurred in summer: weight and body mass index decreased significantly (P〈0.05) and total body and regional bone mineral content increased (P〈0.001). Differences in TBBMC persisted when the measurement was corrected for weight (TBBMC/W) (P〈0.001), but not for metacarpal cortical thickness corrected for weight. In the first measurement made there were significant relations between weight and both TBBMC (P〈0.001) and metacarpal cortical thickness (P〈0.005). The relation between weight and TBBMC remained significant in later measurements, but the relation between weight and metacarpal cortical thickness ceased to be significant in the second and fourth measurements. Our results show that there is an important seasonal variation in bone mass and that DXA is more sensitive than radiogrammetry in registering these changes.

    Notes: Abstract Motivated by the controversy in the literature concerning the influence of activity on bone mass and on its cortical and trabecular components, a study was made using computed peripheral tomography (Stratec XCT 900) of the total, cortical, and trabecular bone mass of the dominant and nondominant upper extremities of 50 apparently normal subjects (average age 26±6 years). No differences were observed in the trabecular bone compartment, but the cortical compartment was greater (P〈0.001) in the dominant extremity. There was also a significantly greater total bone mass in the dominant extremity which we attributed to greater cortical mass (P〈0.025) given the highly significant correlation (r2=0.904, P=0.0001) between total and cortical bone mass and the less significant correlation between total and trabecular bone mass (r2=0.479, P=0.0001).
