RESUMO

Ixr1 is a transcriptional factor involved in the response to hypoxia, which is also related to DNA repair. It binds to DNA through its two in-tandem high mobility group box (HMG-box) domains. Each function depends on recognition of different DNA structures, B-form DNA at specific consensus sequences for transcriptional regulation, or distorted DNA, like cisplatin-DNA adducts, for DNA repair. However, the contribution of the HMG-box domains in the Ixr1 protein to the formation of different protein-DNA complexes is poorly understood. We have biophysically and biochemically characterized these interactions with specific DNA sequences from the promoters regulated by Ixr1, or with cisplatin-DNA adducts. Both HMG-boxes are necessary for transcriptional regulation, and they are not functionally interchangeable. The in-tandem arrangement of their HMG-boxes is necessary for functional folding and causes sequential cooperative binding to specific DNA sequences, with HMG-box A showing a higher contribution to DNA binding and bending than the HMG-box B. Binding of Ixr1 HMG boxes to specific DNA sequences is entropy driven, whereas binding to platinated DNA is enthalpy driven for HMG-box A and entropy driven for HMG-box B. This is the first proof that HMG-box binding to different DNA structures is associated with predictable thermodynamic differences. Based on our study, we present a model to explain the dual function of Ixr1 in the regulation of gene expression and recognition of distorted DNA structures caused by cisplatin treatment.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: renal glomerular filtration rate on hospital admission in patients presented with an acute coronary syndrome as a predictor for mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study analysed 290 patients admitted on hospital with an acute coronary syndrome during one year (2003). Renal function was estimated using the renal glomerular filtration rate by the MDRD formula. Patients were stratified in three groups: patients with a GFR > or = 60 ml/min/1,73 m2; n = 186, patients with GFR < 60 or > 30; n = 93 and patients with GFR < 30; n = 11. RESULTS: 66.6% of patients were males and 66.5% were older than 65 years old. 54.5% suffered from hypertension and 39% were diabetics. All patients with GFR < 30 ml/min had an acute coronary syndrome without elevation of ST segment. They were the oldest with a major proportion of previous cardiovascular events as cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease or myocardial infarction. Diagnostic procedures and treatments were less administered in patients with GFR < 30 ml/min. Although in the univariate analysis demonstrated that hospital mortality was related to GFR < 30 ml/min, sex, ageing, Killip > 1, ventricular function and cTnT elevation, only GFR < 30 ml/min, ageing, heart failure and ventricular dysfunction persisted significant in the multivariate analysis. Hospital mortality was 27.3% in patients with GFR < 30 ml/min, 7.5% in patients with GFR between 30-60 ml/min and 3.8% in patients with a GFR > or = 60 ml/min. Mortality after two years follow up was 27.3% in patients with GFR < 30 ml/min, 20.4% in patients with GFR between 30-60 ml/min and 10.2% in patients with a GFR > or = 60 ml/min. Mortality (hospital mortality and after two years of follow up) was increased in patients with GFR< 30 ml/min, ageing, heart failure and diabetes after adjusted for other prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: A reduced glomerular filtration rate is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with an acute coronary syndrome. Estimation of the renal glomerular filtration rate might be used as prognostic value in these patients.

RESUMO

Introducción: determinar el filtrado glomerular al ingreso como predictor de mortalidad tras un Síndrome Coronario Agudo (SCA). Pacientes y método: se analizaron 290 pacientes que ingresaron por SCA durante el año 2003. Se valoró la función renal al ingreso mediante la fórmula de estimación del Filtrado Glomerular (FG) MDRD. Se estratificaron en tres grupos: pacientes con FG ≥60 ml/min/1,73 m2; n = 186, pacientes con FG <60 y >_30; n = 93 y pacientes con FG <30; n = 11. Resultados: todos los pacientes con FG <30 ml/min presentaron un SCA sin elevación del segmento ST, los cuales eran de edad más avanzada con mayor prevalencia de eventos cardiovasculares previos (accidente vascular cerebral, de arteriopatía periférica, y de infarto de miocardio). La realización de pruebas diagnósticas fue menor. La mortalidad hospitalaria fue del 27,3% en los pacientes con FG <30 ml/min, 7,5% en los pacientes con FG entre 30 y 60 ml/min, y del 3,8% en los pacientes con FG ≥60 ml/min. Tras dos años de seguimiento, la mortalidad fue del 27,3% en los pacientes con FG <30 ml/min, del 20,4% en los pacientes con FG entre 30 y 60 ml/min, y del 10,2% con FG ≥60 ml/min. Al ajustar por otras variables pronósticas, los pacientes con FG <30 ml/min presentaron una mayor mortalidad tanto durante el ingreso como en el seguimiento a dos años. Conclusiones: la reducción del FG es un factor de riesgo independiente de mortalidad tras un SCA. El uso de las fórmulas de estimación del FG en el seguimiento de dichos pacientes tiene valor pronóstico (AU)

RESUMO

This is a study of the origin of the palmar collateral arteries of the thumb and radial side of the index finger. The different patterns of the main trunk, the first palmar interosseous artery, in the commissure are discussed, together with the relations of its branches with those of the superficial palmar arch and its relations with the accessory fasciculi of the adductor pollicis and first dorsal interosseous muscles.
