[An adult case of the left coronary artery anomalously originating from the pulmonary artery (BWG syndrome), demonstrating remarkable improvement in postoperative thallium-201 myocardial imaging].

Stress thallium-201 myocardial scintigraphy were performed in a 44-year-old female with BWG syndrome before and after aorto-coronary bypass surgery. Preoperative stress thallium-201 studies demonstrated anterior reversible perfusion defect and posterior persistent defect. But postoperative studies demonstrated no defects in both areas. These data suggest that preoperative anterior defect was due to transient myocardial ischemia, but the finding of posterior persistent defect wasn't due to infarction or scarring. Thus, stress thallium-201 myocardial imaging provided useful informations to clarify the myocardial perfusion patterns pre- and postoperatively.

Structure and expression of a cloned cDNA for human (2'-5')oligoadenylate synthetase.

17S poly(A)+RNA, which hybridized to an oligonucleotide complementary to a part of the partial cDNA (E1cDNA) (Merlin et al. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 80, 4904) for 2-5A synthetase, was isolated from interferon-treated human KB cells and used for cDNA cloning. Several overlapping cDNAs were cloned by using the oligonucleotide as a probe. Two of them were joined at their overlapping region, resulting in a cDNA (22-1 cDNA) of 1.4 kb containing a long open reading frame. When the cDNA was expressed in COS-7 cells with an eukaryotic promoter, active 2-5A synthetase was produced and localized mainly in the cytoplasm. The 5'-proximal ATG in 22-1 cDNA is followed immediately by another ATG. This second ATG was assumed to work as the initiator codon. If so, this enzyme comprises 363 amino acids.
