A lupine mitochondrial clone containing 5S rRNA gene is characterized. The gene is located on the same strand as 18S rRNA and separated from it by 190 nucleotides. The intergenic region in different ...plants shows high degree of homology. In the case of lupine and soybean 43 nucleotides upstream of 5S rRNA gene exhibits 100% of homology. Comparisons of lupine 5S rRNA gene sequence with other plant mitochondrial 5S rRNA genes displays high degree of homology (from 89.8% to 95.8%).
The role of changes in CSF inflow in patients without intracranial pathology has been studied. The CSF outflow resistance has been calculated, by dividing the CSF pressure rise by the speed of ...intrathecal saline infusion. The average CSF pressure rise produced during infusion test (infusion 2 ml/min) amounted to 11.15 mmHg. The calculated CSF outflow resistance equaled to 5.58 +/- 1.1 mm Hg/ml/min. On-line computer assisted analysis during infusion test helps to shorten the procedure and makes it more precise.
