Bacteriological study, including antibiotic sensitivity tests, of 145 patients with pyodermas such as impetigo, superficial folliculltis, deep folliculitis, ecthyma, paronychia, cellulitis and secondary skin infections, was carried out during the period from June, 1981 to September, 1982 at the Department of Dermatology, Han II hospital.

We have previously observed that a sequence in coat protein (CP) ORF of Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is required for efficient replication of the virus. The sequence was predicted to take a stem-loop structure, thus termed SL2. While examining various SL2 mutants, we observed that all the modifications resulting in extension of translation beyond the CP ORF significantly suppressed subgenomic RNA accumulation. The genomic RNA level, in contrast, was not affected. Introduction of an in-frame stop codon in the CP ORF of these constructs restored the level of subgenomic RNA. Overall, the results suggest that the read-through makes the subgenomic RNA unstable.

HExDB is a database for analyzing exon and splicing pattern information in Homo sapiens. HExDB is useful for specific purposes: 1) to design primers for exon amplification from cDNA and 2) to understand the change of ORFs by alternative splicing. HExDB was constructed by integrating data from AltExtron which is the computationally predicted exon database, Ensemble cDNA annotation, and Affymetrix genome tile published recently. Although it may contain false positive data, HExDB is good starting point due to its sensitivity. At present, there are as many as 2,046,519 exons stored in the HExDB. We found that 16.8% of the exons in the database was constitutive exons and 83.1% were novel gene exons.

Systemic candidiasis is a fatal fungal infection and its diagnosis is often difficult because Candida organism may be cultured from blood specimens in only 25% of the patients. The triad of systemic candidiasis is fever, papular rash, and diffuse muscle tenderness. Therefore, the recognition of the characteristic cutaneous lesions of disseminated candidiasis allows earlier diagnosis and treatment. The cutaneous lesion usually consists of red or purpuric papules, some with pale centers, abscess, necrotic lesion, hemorrhage and skin lesion mimicking ecthyma gangrenosum. We report a rare case of disseminated candidiasis presented as multiple subcutaneous nodule-typed skin lesions.

Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is a non-enveloped icosahedral virus that has a single 6.3 kb positive-strand RNA as a genome. Previously, it was observed that the recombinant construct TY-eGFP2, where an eGFP gene was inserted at the position downstream of the coat protein (CP) ORF of TYMV genome, barely replicated. The inhibition of replication was relieved by insertion of an additional copy of the 3' quarter of the CP ORF after the foreign sequence. In this study, we have examined if the 3' quarter of the CP ORF contains any replication elements. M-fold analysis predicted three stem-loop structures in this region. Analysis of the TY-eGFP2 constructs containing one or two of these stem-loop structures indicates that the secondary structure predicted in the region between nt-6139 and nt-6181, termed SL2, is essential for TYMV replication. The critical role of SL2 was confirmed by the observation that deletion of the 3' quarter of the CP ORF from the wild-type TYMV genome nearly abolished replication and that insertion of SL2 into the deletion mutant restored the replication. Mutations disrupting the stem of SL2 greatly reduced viral RNA replication, indicating that the secondary structure is essential for the enhancing activity.
