Because of the differing opinions on the value of glucagon and the best way of administering it in severe hypoglycaemia induced by sulphonylurea drugs, experiments were conducted on normal subjects, ...and in diabetic patients before and during treatment with chlorpropamide. In all subjects glucagon raised blood sugar concentrations, and produced a greater and more prolonged increase in blood glucose concentrations when given intramuscularly than when given intravenously. Hypoglycaemia did not occur in any subject.
Valproate is an effective anticonvulsant which is rarely associated with hepatotoxicity. It has profound effects on the intermediary metabolism of isolated rat hepatocytes. In this paper the effect ...of valproate on blood metabolite concentrations in spontaneously diabetic BB/E rats has been studied. Valproate causes a marked fall in blood ketone body concentrations and a smaller fall in blood glucose concentrations following either oral or intraperitoneal administration. Valproate may have a role in the treatment of patients with "brittle" diabetes.
Questo progetto è diretto allo studio del paesaggio rurale intorno alla città di Rieti, nell'Italia centrale e in particolare si propone di esaminare, in un ampio fronte diacronico, il mutamento del ...modello insediamentale e i diversi modi di sfruttamento dell'alto bacino appenninico e delle colline e dei monti circostanti. Sono qui descritti gli scopi ed i metodi interdisciplinari del progetto e vengono riportati i principali risultati ottenuti. Lo studio degli aspetti geomorfologici ha giocato un ruolo importante nel progetto e i risultati sono presentati in due principali sezioni riguardanti una la natura dei suoli del bacino e l'altra i diversi modi della loro formazione. Il lavoro sul campo si è principalmente basato sulla ricognizione intensiva di una serie di transetti perpendicolari sul lato orientale del bacino montano di Rieti, estesa anche alle montagne circostanti. Nel corso di tre stagioni di lavoro, oltre 500 campi sono stati esaminati nell'ambito di un'area di circa 22 kmq., insieme con più ampie ricognizioni all'interno dell'intero bacino; tali ricognizioni sono state specificatamente finalizzate alla ricerca di dati che aiutassero a fornire risposte circa la problematica riguardante il mutare del quadro insediativo durante l'epoca medievale. Sono stati rinvenuti un totale di circa 200 siti di vario tipo ed epoca, sebbene si sia cercato di analizzare tali siti, durante le ricognizioni, nell'ambito dell'archeologia off-site. Le ricognizioni di particolari aree comprendenti un certo numero di siti con evidenti resti architettonici, sono state integrate con le evidenze portate alla superficie tramite l'aratura. Le ricognizioni miranti al rinvenimento di strutture sono risultate essere particolarmente positive, con l'individuazione di una serie di castelli e villaggi medievali, posizionati ad alte quote intorno al bacino. Durante tale progetto sono stati inoltre usati metodi geofisici di prospezione, compiendo ricognizione di resistività su larga scala per circa 20 siti: vengono qui riportati alcuni commenti preliminari sui risultati ottenuti grazie a questa tecnica. Il lavoro di tipo archeologico è stato accompagnato da una ricerca a carattere storico ed archivistico; l'articolo si conclude con una sintesi della storia insediamentale del bacino di Rieti per un periodo che va dall'età del bronzo all'età post-medievale.

Journal Article
Analysis of plasmid ColE1, its naturally occurring relatives ColK and CloDF13, and a wide range of ColE1 derivatives containing either insertions or deletions of genetic material has allowed ...localization on the ColE1 genome of DNA sequences responsible for colicin E1 synthesis, immunity to colicin killing, conjugal mobility and incompatibility. We have examined incompatibility between pairs of ColE1 derivatives ranging in size from 2.6 to 13.8 Md. Though all the plasmids tested exerted ColE1 incompatibility, a definite pattern was observed regarding the dominant plasmid in any pair tested (i.e. the plasmid that displaces the other from a heterozygote). Usually the larger plasmid is displaced. We conclude that loci for incompatibility reside within 0.7 kb of the ColE1 replication region. A model is presented to explain both the incompatibility data and the observation that the fraction of total DNA occurring as ColE1-like plasmid in a cell is approximately constant. Transposons Tn1 and Tn3 (3.2 Md; Apr and approximately 85% homologous), Tn501 (5.5 Md; Hgr), and Tn7 (9.3 Md; Tpr Smr) can all be transposed into ColE1. Though all have closely related. Tn501 and Tn7 do not complement transposition of Tn3 transposition defective deletions. A Tn3-specified 19,000 dalton protein is absent in one particular class of transposition-defective deletion.
