Although the GI tract is the most common site of low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT),1,2 duodenal MALT lymphoma is rare.3-10 The eradication of Helicobacter pylori is now considered the treatment of choice for gastric MALT lymphoma,11-14 yet therapeutic strategies for duodenal MALT lymphoma are still in dispute.3-10 This is a report of 2 cases of duodenal MALT ...

The genes of the Escherichia coli maltose regulon are controlled by MalT, the specific transcriptional activator which, together with the inducer maltotriose and ATP, is essential for mal gene transcription. Network regulation in this system affects the function of MalT and occurs on two levels. The first concerns the expression of malT. It has long been known that malT is under catabolite repr...

The mouse kidney expresses the gene of ornithine aminotransferase (Oat). Previous works suggest that Oat is differentially expressed in female and male mouse kidney (Alonso E, Rubio V. Biochem J 259: 131-138, 1989; Levillain O, Diaz JJ, Blanchard O, Dechaud H. Endocrinology 146: 950-959, 2005; Manteuffel-Cymborowska M, Chmurzynska W, Peska M, Grzelakowska-Sztabert B.

BACKGROUND No studies have examined whether increased consumption of oat cereal, rich in soluble fiber, favorably alters lipoprotein particle size and number. OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of large servings of either oat or wheat cereal on plasma lipids, lipoprotein subclasses, lipoprotein particle diameters, and LDL particle number. DESIGN Thirty-six overweight men aged 50-75 y were ra...

wheat flour was substituted with oat flour by 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% to investigate the effect on dough rheology and bread sensory quality and texture. water absorption and dough development time in oat composite doughs increased with an increasing level of oat flour, whereas dough resistance, extensibility and bread firmness decreased. dough sof-tening increased with an increased level of oat ...

A generalized deficiency in the mitochondrial enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase (OAT: EC 2.6.1.13), is the hallmark of gyrate atrophy (GA), a hereditary degenerative disease of the choroid and retina of the eye that leads to blindness. A human OAT cDNA, previously constructed and characterized in our laboratory, and anti-human OAT antibody were used as probes to examine the OAT gene, mRNA and ...

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the third most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it is strongly associated with helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach. MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland usually presents as a localized disease process in extranodal tissues. The treatment options of MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland chiefly include radiation of the tumor, chemotherap...

We are reporting a case of a 62-year-old African American woman with a history of gastric MALT lymphoma successfully treated with radiation who presented with a laryngeal MALT lymphoma 4 years after her original diagnosis. She received definitive radiation with a complete response. The case presented is unique for the rare presentation of a MALT lymphoma in the larynx, especially in light of th...

A generalized deficiency in the mitochondrial enzyme, ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), is present in the hereditary blinding disease, gyrate atrophy (GA). Because the OAT gene is a multi-gene family, and the native OAT enzyme is an oligomer, it would be important to identify the gene locus actually responsible for the OAT activity and affected in GA. A mammalian expression clone containing a p...
