RESUMO

Populations occurring in areas of overlap between the current and future distribution of a species are particularly important because they can represent "refugia from climate change". We coupled ecological and range-wide genetic variation data to detect such areas and to evaluate the impacts of habitat suitability changes on the genetic diversity of the transitional Mediterranean-temperate tree Fraxinus angustifolia. We sampled and genotyped 38 natural populations comprising 1006 individuals from across Europe. We found the highest genetic diversity in western and northern Mediterranean populations, as well as a significant west to east decline in genetic diversity. Areas of potential refugia that correspond to approximately 70% of the suitable habitat may support the persistence of more than 90% of the total number of alleles in the future. Moreover, based on correlations between Bayesian genetic assignment and climate, climate change may favour the westward spread of the Black Sea gene pool in the long term. Overall, our results suggest that the northerly core areas of the current distribution contain the most important part of the genetic variation for this species and may serve as in situ macrorefugia from ongoing climate change. However, rear-edge populations of the southern Mediterranean may be exposed to a potential loss of unique genetic diversity owing to habitat suitability changes unless populations can persist in microrefugia that have facilitated such persistence in the past.

RESUMO

Isoelectric focusing of proteins (IEF) in ultrathin-layer polyacrylamide gel (0.4 mm, PAG), followed by direct immunofixation with monospecific antiserum and silver staining, is a highly specific, sensitive and simple method for the demonstration of oligoclonal IgG in unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples (5-10 microliters). For the present method, the optimal concentrations of IgG in CSF samples are about 0.025-0.030 g/l, corresponding to the applied amount of 125-150 mg. In our testing of this method, oligoclonal IgG bands in CSF specimens were clearly demonstrated in 52 (96%) of 54 patients with clinically established definite diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), in 4 (40%) of 10 patients with infectious diseases of the CNS, and in 9 patients (25%) of 38 with other neurological diseases. Abnormal patterns were also demonstrated in the serum of patients with MS (43%). Intrathecally synthesized IgG was mathematically calculated in 43 (80%) out of 54 patients with MS. This method appears to be a useful alternative for the demonstration of oligoclonal IgG bands in the unconcentrated CSF, especially when questionable or negative results arise by routine electrophoretic technique for oligoclonal bands detection.

RESUMO

The authors present results of histological and electron-microscopical investigations of muscular tissue obtained by biopsy from a 20-year-old man, who showed typical features of Marfan's syndrome associated with slowly progressive muscular weakness. The muscle showed a peculiar combination of centronuclear myopathy with hypotrophy of type I fibres and the so called "fingerprint myopathy". The combination of such myopathic phenomena with Marfan's syndrome presents a unique and hitherto undescribed condition.
