Främlingarnas bok : nostalgisk graffiti på arabiska
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Här presenteras för första gången på svenska i direkt översättning från arabiska en samling graffiti från slutet av 900-talet. Främlingarnas bok består av 76 berättelser som var och en i anekdotisk form på prosa utgör en ramberättelse för en graffiti på poesi som någon främling skrivit ner på en pelare i en kyrka, på väggen i ett värdshus eller på något föremål som tillfälligt funnits till hands. I den poetiska graffitin ger främlingen utlopp för sin nostalgiska hemlängtan och han avslöjar hur han har lindrat sin smärta med vin, kvinnor och sång. Ramberättelsen på prosa berättar antingen om författaren till graffitin och hans öden och äventyr eller om en besökare som av en händelse upptäcker en graffiti och svarar på den i ord eller handling. Främlingarnas bok berör ett tidlöst tema och stämmer till eftertanke. Därför åtföljs översättningen av en efterskrift som sätter in denna märkliga bok i ett vidare sammanhang som kan ge läsaren stoff till fortsatta funderingar.

- We investigated the phenotypic expression of factor H mutations in two patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Factor H in serum was assayed by rocket immunoelectrophoresis, immunoblotting, and double immunodiffusion and in tissue by immunohistochemistry. Functional activity was analyzed by hemolysis of sheep erythrocytes and binding to endothelial cells. A homozygous mutation in complement control protein (CCP) domain 10 of factor H was identified in an adult man who first developed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and later HUS. C3 levels were very low. The patient had undetectable factor H levels in serum and a weak factor H 150 kDa band. Double immunodiffusion showed partial antigenic identity with factor H in normal serum owing to the presence of factor H-like protein 1. Strong specific labeling for factor H was detected in glomerular endothelium, mesangium and in glomerular and tubular epithelium as well as in bone marrow cells. A heterozygous mutation in CCP 20 of factor H was found in a girl with HUS. C3 levels were moderately decreased at onset. Factor H levels were normal and a normal 150 kDa band was present. Double immunodiffusion showed antigenic identity with normal factor H. Factor H labeling was minimal in the renal cortex. Factor H dysfunction was demonstrated by increased sheep erythrocyte hemolysis and decreased binding to endothelial cells. In summary, two different factor H mutations associated with HUS were examined: in one, factor H accumulated in cells, and in the other, membrane binding was reduced.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- CHARGE syndrome is a disorder characterized by Coloboma, Heart defect, Atresia choanae, Retarded growth and/or development, Genital hypoplasia and Ear anomalies. Heterozygous mutations in the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) gene have been identified in about 60% of individuals diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome. We performed a CHD7 mutation screening by direct exon sequencing in 28 index patients (26 sporadic cases, 1 familial case consisting of a brother and sister and 1 case consisting of monozygotic twins) diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome in order to determine the mutations in a cohort of Swedish CHARGE syndrome patients. The patients without a detectable CHD7 mutation, or with a missense mutation, were further investigated by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in order to search for intragenic deletions or duplications. Thirteen novel mutations and five previously reported mutations were detected. The mutations were scattered throughout the gene and included nonsense, frameshift and missense mutations as well as intragenic deletions. In conclusion, CHD7 mutations were detected in a large proportion (64%) of cases diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome. Screening for intragenic deletions with MLPA is recommended in cases where mutations are not found by sequencing. In addition, a CDH7 mutation was found in an individual without temporal bone malformation.
