Arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) enzymes catalyze the addition of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to a terminal nitrogen on a suitable substrate such as environmentally relevant compounds and pharmaceuticals. In human, there are two highly polymorphic active allozymes, NAT1 and -2, and one inactive pseudogene, NATP. The expression of these enzymes is tissue-specific such that NAT1 is ubiquitously expressed and NAT2 is confined mainly to liver and colorectal tissues. We hypothesized that these genes would be tissue-specifically transcriptionally regulated, and so we isolated putative proximal control regions for both the NAT genes, which were inserted into luciferase vectors and transiently transfected into human liver and bladder cells. The transfected cells were dosed with 4-aminosalicylic acid, sulfamethazine or solvent and the resulting luciferase activity was measured. We found that both NAT1 and -2 regions were inducible in liver cells by both xenobiotics but only one of the NAT1 regions was inducible again by both xenobiotics in bladder cells. These results suggest that the NAT genes may be tissue-specifically transcriptionally regulated.
The paper presents the results of M. tuberculosis drug resistance analysis. The material was phlegm obtained from 1060 patients treated during 1994-2001 y.y. The tendency of rising of M. tuberculosis drug resistance rate and polyresistance has been established. Unfortunately, a great deal of patients were undercovered with drug resistance M. tuberculosis which can massively grow on cultural medium with peak concentration of streptomycin, kanamycin, rifampicin and PAS(A), as stated above it necessitates to modernize the inspection system directed to determine M. tuberculosis drug resistance.
FT-IR, FT-Raman and FT-SERS spectra of 4-aminosalicylic acid sodium salt dihydrate (4ASAS) have been recorded and analysed. The vibrational bands due to NH2, OH, carboxyl group, and the benzene ring are identified. The CX ipb(17a, 17b), CC ipb(6,18a) and CH ipb (3,14a, 14b) bands are more enhanced in SERS. Broadening of the inplane carboxyl bend indicates interaction with the silver surface. Further the vC=O, v(C-O)c and v(C-O)h are intense in the SERS spectrum. The rocking and wagging modes of NH2 also show up in SERS. The molecule (O, N donor ligand) is thought to adsorb through the carboxyl oxygen atom with the benzene ring in a 'perpendicular side on orientation' with respect to the silver surface.
