Comparison of transmyometrial and transcervical embryo transfer in patients with previously failed in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycles and/or cervical stenosis.

OBJECTIVE: To compare ultrasound-guided transmyometrial and transcervical ET in patients with cervical stenosis or in patients who failed to conceive after at least three previous IVF-ET cycles. DESIGN: A prospective, randomized study. SETTING: The IVF-ET Unit at Serlin Maternity Hospital. PATIENT(S): Forty patients undergoing IVF-ET. INTERVENTION(S): Ultrasound-guided transvaginal, transmyometrial, versus transcervical ET. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Clinical pregnancy rate. RESULT(S): Transmyometrial ET was performed in 20 patients and resulted in one clinical pregnancy. Transcervical ET, performed in another 20 similar patients, resulted in three clinical pregnancies. CONCLUSION(S): No benefit was derived by electing transmyometrial ET in preference to transcervical ET in patients who had failed to conceive in previous cycles.

High-performance liquid chromatography of transfer RNAs. Separation of transfer RNAs from mammalian sources.

A survey of recent advances in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of tRNA is presented here. The polystyrene and reversed-phase anion exchangers are discussed for their ability to resolve tRNAs without loss of the aminoacyl-tRNA bond. The HPLC of a tRNA of choice, based on the affinity principle, is studied. Both chemical (boronate) and biological (plant lectins) affinity groups for the tRNA interaction are described. A comprehensive scheme is presented for the separation of four mammalian tRNAs. Scope of future research in this area is also discussed.

Rare transfer ribonucleic acid essential for phage growth. Nucleotide sequence comparison of normal and mutant T4 isoleucine-accepting transfer ribonucleic acid.

One of the eight tRNA species coded by bacteriophage T4 is unique in that (1) it is found in a yield lower by three- to fourfold than that of any other tRNA and (2) while dispensable for growth in standard laboratory hosts, it is essential for phage propagation in a natural isolate of Escherichia coli (strain CT439). We report here the nucleotide sequence of this tRNA and of several mutationally altered forms. The molecule is 77 nucleotides in length and has the anticodon N-A-U. Depending on the pairing properties of the "wobble" nucleotide N, this sequence could correspond to one or more of the isoleucine-specific codons (formula: see text) or to the methionine-specific codon A-U-G. Since a T4-specific acceptor activity for isoleucine which is stimulated in ribosome binding by A-U-A but not A-U-U has been reported previously, we infer that we have sequenced a tRNA Ile species which preferentially recognizes A-U-A. Mutant HA1 is unable to grow in CT439; it produces no tRNA Ile. The primary mutational alteration is a transition four residues from the 5'terminus which converts a C.G to a U.G base pair. The consequences of this lesion can be partially reversed by second-site mutations nearby in the acceptor stem. Unexpectedly, the tRNA Ile synthesized in these revertants still retains two unusual structural features found in the wild-type molecule: the opposition of two Up residues in the amino acid acceptor stem and the opposition of an Ap and a Gp residue in the anticodon stem. Implications of these structual anomalies for a possibly unique physiological role of this minor tRNA species are discussed.
