Introduction: All typical forms of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ARPKD ; are caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. This gene, as well its mouse ortholog Pkhd1, is associated with a complex splicing pattern that gives rise to a high number of alternative transcripts. Recent data from gene-targeted and spontaneous mutation mouse models suggest functional divergence for Pkhd1 in kidney and liver and specific roles for distinct transcripts. The Pkhd1 cl spontaneous mutation occurs in exon 48, leading to frameshift c.7589delGGinsT ; . Homozygous mutants develop biliary dysgenesis and cystic liver disease by 2 months of age, but no morphological renal abnormalities. The del3-4 conditional knockout allele, in turn, was generated using the Cre recombinase Lox P strategy. Pkhd1del-3-4 del3-4 mice develop cystic liver disease that resembles ARPKD, as well as a renal cystic disease that is similar to the human phenotype. Methods: Based on these findings, we aimed to identify and characterize Pkhd1 transcripts and compare the gene's transcriptional profiles in kidney and liver, in wild-type and Pkhd1mutant models, to provide insights into the functional roles of the splice variants. Long- and short-range RT-PCR were used to amplify transcripts from both mouse tissues, using several different primer pairs. The products were subcloned and sequenced, allowing transcript characterization and the assembly of specific transcript sets. Results: PCR amplifications from wild-type kidney and liver cDNAs, performed with a series of primer pairs, revealed different transcript profiles between the two organs. Comparative analysis of wild type, homozygous cl and del3-4 mutants, in turn, showed specific isoform patterns for both kidney and liver in the mutant animals. These analyses, in fact, have detected mRNAs with exon arrangements specific to mutant models. The systematic characterization of these products will provide a catalog of organ-specific and disease-related transcripts. Conclusion: Our results suggest, therefore, that Pkhd1 undergoes tissue-specific alternative splicing and that the transcriptional process is dependent upon the integrity of the gene. These data suggest that this complex splicing profile is biologically important and that aberrant splicing, therefore, may be directly involved in the pathogenesis of ARPKD. FIG. 2.

New Payment Requirement July 1, 2003 Effective with claims with dates of service on or after July 1, 2003, OPTs Outpatient Rehabilitation Facilities ORFs ; , 74X bill type ; are required to report all their services utilizing HCPCS codes. Payment for these services will be made under the MPFS unless the item or service is currently being paid under the orthotic fee schedule or the item is a drug, biological, supply or vaccine see below for an explanation of these services ; . Drugs and Biologicals Drugs and biologicals do not apply in an ORF setting. Therefore, ORF providers should not submit claims for drugs and biologicals. Supplies Some ORFs are currently being reimbursed for supplies on the basis of reasonable cost. However, since supplies are part of the practice expense, under the MPFS these expenses are already taken into account in the practice expense relative values. Therefore, ORFs should not submit claims for the supplies that they furnish. Vaccines ORFs should not be providing influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia and Hepatitis B vaccines and their administration. This supercedes previous instructions in which payment is made on a reasonable cost basis. Claims for vaccines will be returned to the provider effective July 1, 2003.

On Feb. 5, Recreational Sports and Services is launching the "Healthy U Incentive Program, " which is intended to motivate students to exercise, improve their emotional health and eat healthier. Lynne Thompson-Cundiff, fitness coordinator at the Student Recreation Center, said students who participate in the program receive "Healthy U dollars" for working out and attending workshops. Students earn one U dollar for every minute they participate. Those who earn 180 U dollars in a week are eligible for a weekly drawing for prizes such as an iPod Shuffle and a European Day Spa certificate. Thompson-Cundiff said SIUC has done incentive programs in the past, but this is the first that targets more than physical activity. "Research shows that if you are invested in something, even if it's a small amount, you have more consistency with it, " ThompsonCundiff said. She said participants are encouraged to exercise, but other activities -- such as meeting with counselors at the Wellness Center -- also earn them U dollars. The program, which Students can register for is only open to SIUC the Healthy U students, has a $5 Incentive Program registration fee. at the Rec Center Sally Wright, interim Health Fair Feb. 5 director of Recreational from 4 p.m. to 7 Sports and Services, said p.m. or any time at participants could take the Rec Center or advantage of discounted Wellness Center. services at the Rec Center. Fitness assessments and metabolic tests that normally cost $20 will be offered for $10 to participants, she said. Thompson-Cundiff said most SIUC students don't pay enough attention to their diet and don't exercise as often as they should. She said the American College of Sports Medicine recommends a person get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise three to five days a week. To earn 180 U dollars, a participant would have participate for three hours a week. While he worked out at the Rec Center Tuesday, Phil Craig, a junior from Sullivan studying electrical engineering, said he didn't think most students took their health seriously. "I just don't think people want to put out the effort to come work out when they could be just sitting around watching TV and stuff like that, " Craig said and penicillin. 8. prostacyclin analogue, in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

General 3M is a diversified technology company with a global presence in the following businesses: health care; industrial; display and graphics; consumer and office; safety, security and protection services; electronics and telecommunications; and transportation. 3M is among the leading manufacturers of products for many of the markets it serves. Most 3M products involve expertise in product development, manufacturing and marketing, and are subject to competition from products manufactured and sold by other technologically oriented companies. At December 31, 2005, the Company employed 69, 315 people, with 33, employed in the United States and 36, 282 employed internationally. Business Segments In 2005, 3M managed its operations in seven operating business segments: Health Care; Industrial; Display and Graphics; Consumer and Office; Electro and Communications; Safety, Security and Protection Services; and Transportation. 3M's seven business segments bring together common or related 3M technologies, enhancing the development of innovative products and services and providing for efficient sharing of business resources. These segments have worldwide responsibility for virtually all 3M product lines. Certain small businesses and staffsponsored products, as well as various corporate assets and expenses, are not allocated to the business segments. Financial information and other disclosures relating to 3M's business segments and operations in major geographic areas are provided in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2006, 3M combined its Industrial and Transportation business segments. This new segment will leverage common markets, sales channels and customers, technologies, manufacturing facilities and selling processes. This combination will provide additional efficiencies that will be reinvested in growth. The results for the new Industrial and Transportation segment can be approximated by combining the existing Industrial and Transportation segments. In addition, during the first quarter of 2006, the Personal Care Division 2005 annual sales of approximately $600 million ; within the Health Care segment transferred to the combined Industrial and Transportation segment. Segment information for all periods presented will be reclassified in 2006 to reflect the combined Industrial and Transportation segment in addition to the transfer of the Personal Care Division. Health Care Business: The Health Care segment serves markets that include medical, surgical, pharmaceutical, dental and orthodontic, health information systems and personal care. Products provided to these markets include medical and surgical supplies, skin health and infection prevention products, pharmaceuticals, drug delivery systems, dental and orthodontic products, health information systems, microbiology products, and closures for disposable diapers. 3 and pepcid. To the household where all members are examined for infections and, if needed, treated with antibiotics. It can often take years of repeated infections to cause scarring of the upper lid and trichiasis, or inversion of the upper lid that precedes blindness, so surgery cases will continue to emerge even after active trachoma is interrupted in Morocco. Community leaders and organizations such as the Red Crescent Society will continue to play an important role in locating and reporting trichiasis cases to district surgical teams. Because of the expected emergence of a limited number of new cases of active trachoma and trichiasis, the need for an effective epidemiological surveillance system for trachoma is great. All new cases are reported to the district health departments by village sentinel sites and health facilities. Periodic reviews are conducted, with the results shared with provincial and central authorities. Unless unforeseen epidemics occur, this surveillance phase is expected to continue until 2009, for example, ortoh tricyclin.
