Alcohol Poisoning Killed Amy Winehouse!
Singer Amy Winehouse's death this past summer was the result of alcohol poisoning, an inquest ruled, as it reached a verdict of "death by misadventure."
A pathologist told a coroner's court in north London that alcohol toxicity was the cause of the 27-year-old's death, with her blood alcohol levels measured at more than five times the legal drink-drive limit.
A family statement, given by spokesman Chris Goodman, said: "It is some relief we finally found out what happened to Amy.

Orexin A and orexin B are hypothalamic neuropeptides initially identified as endogenous ligands for two orphan G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). They play critical roles in the maintenance of wakefulness by regulating function of monoaminergic and cholinergic neurons that are implicated in the regulation of wakefulness. Loss of orexin neurons in humans is associated with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy, further suggesting the particular importance of orexin in the maintenance of the wakefulness state. These findings have encouraged pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs targeting orexin receptors as novel medications of sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy and insomnia. Indeed, phase III clinical trials were completed last year of suvorexant, a non-selective (dual) antagonist for orexin receptors, for the treatment of primary insomnia, and demonstrate promising results. The New Drug Application (NDA) for suvorexant has been submitted to the US FDA. Thus, the discovery of a critical role played by the orexin system in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness has opened the door of a new era for sleep medicine.

Dopamine Antagonists
Drugs that bind to but do not activate DOPAMINE RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of dopamine or exogenous agonists. Many drugs used in the treatment of psychotic disorders (ANTIPSYCHOTIC AGENTS) are dopamine antagonists, although their therapeutic effects may be due to long-term adjustments of the brain rather than to the acute effects of blocking dopamine receptors. Dopamine antagonists have been used for several other clinical purposes including as ANTIEMETICS, in the treatment of Tourette syndrome, and for hiccup. Dopamine receptor blockade is associated with NEUROLEPTIC MALIGNANT SYNDROME.
Sleep Disorders
Conditions characterized by disturbances of usual sleep patterns or behaviors. Sleep disorders may be divided into three major categories: DYSSOMNIAS (i.e. disorders characterized by insomnia or hypersomnia), PARASOMNIAS (abnormal sleep behaviors), and sleep disorders secondary to medical or psychiatric disorders. (From Thorpy, Sleep Disorders Medicine, 1994, p187)
Serotonin Receptor Agonists
Endogenous compounds and drugs that bind to and activate SEROTONIN RECEPTORS. Many serotonin receptor agonists are used as ANTIDEPRESSANTS; ANXIOLYTICS; and in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS.
Sleep Disorders, Intrinsic
Dyssomnias (i.e., insomnias or hypersomnias) associated with dysfunction of internal sleep mechanisms or secondary to a sleep-related medical disorder (e.g., sleep apnea, post-traumatic sleep disorders, etc.). (From Thorpy, Sleep Disorders Medicine, 1994, p187)
Movements or behaviors associated with sleep, sleep stages, or partial arousals from sleep that may impair sleep maintenance. Parasomnias are generally divided into four groups: arousal disorders, sleep-wake transition disorders, parasomnias of REM sleep, and nonspecific parasomnias. (From Thorpy, Sleep Disorders Medicine, 1994, p191)

Galvin charges 'rogue' broker-dealers with ripping off elderly business owner
Calling them "rogue" broker-dealers, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin charged two New York men with making an excessive number of trades with money in an elderly Massachusetts business owner's account.
In an administrative complaint, Galvin argues that Ali Habib Mayar and Christopher Veale, both of New York, convinced the owner of a Massachusetts business to put money into a trading account. The brokers then churned the account through more than 300 transactions, collecting fees along the way.
The unidentified man put more than $800,000 into the account and was charged a fee for each trade, paying the broker dealers a grand total of nearly $1.6 million, Galvin's complaint alleges. The man is an 81-year-old Rhode Island resident who owns a Massachusetts masonry business.
Galvin's complaint seeks to ban Mayar and Veale and their firm, Brookville Capital Partners, from working in Massachusetts. They would also be required to compensate the alleged victim for his losses. The firm declined comment.

2. The guide arch of claim 1, wherein said conveyor means comprise at least two of said endless chains arranged sequentially along said curve, and connecting means for connecting said at least two chains so that said at least two chains move together relative to said housing.
3. A guide arch for guiding the movement of a length of tubing through a predetermined curvature, said guide arch comprising:
a housing; and
endless conveyor means arranged along a curve having a radius of curvature for supporting a section of said tubing for movement relative to said housing, said conveyor means including an endless chain having a plurality of pivotally-connected links, each link having mounted thereon at least one block so that said blocks are immediate adjacent one another to present a substantially continuous convex surface along said curve for supporting said section of tubing, each said block being formed with a concave recess for receiving said tubing supported thereon, wherein said conveyor means substantially continuously supports said section of tubing to thereby reduce contact stress between said section of tubing and said conveyor means.
4. The guide arch as claimed in claim 3, wherein said concave recesses in said plurality of blocks define a total surface area which is approximately equal to an area of continuous surface of said section of said tubing confronting said concave recesses.
The present invention relates to a guide and more particularly to a guide arch assembly for directing coiled production or service tubing through a change of direction. Such a change might occur as the tubing travels from a storage reel therefor to a vertical position for injection down a wellbore.
In conventional wells for the production of hydrocarbons, one or more cylindrical casings surround a smaller diameter production tubing through which the hydrocarbons will flow to the wellhead. Production tubing conventionally consists of discrete lengths of steel tubing threaded together end-to-end to form a production string extending downhole from the wellhead to the zone or zones of hydrocarbon concentrations. The insertion and periodic removal of the production tubing for well servicing purposes was and is a time consuming and therefore expensive process due to the time and equipment needed to make or break the connections in the string and to store the discrete lengths of tubing when not in use.
Similarly, several types of well workovers, such as cleanouts, require that the production tubing be removed and replaced with service tubing. The same problems mentioned above in relation to production tubing are encountered if the service tubing similarly consists of discrete lengths of metal pipe threaded together end to end.
More recently, continuous tubing has been developed that is capable of storage on a reel much like rope and that has facilitated a much speedier and more economical means of injecting or removing the tubing using specialized service rigs. Typically enough tubing can be stored on a single reel to eliminate the need for any pipe connections and this greatly speeds the injection and withdrawal steps.
In the downhole coiled tubing service industry, the conventional method of guiding the tubing from the roughly horizontal or upwardly sloping direction of the tubing coming off the spool to the vertical direction required for downhole injection is accomplished using a roller-type tubing guide arch. Such arches typically include a plurality of spaced apart rollers placed at discrete intervals around the curvature of the arch for supporting the tubing passing thereover. The spacing of these rollers and their small diameter in relation to the bend radius of the tubing contributes significantly to stress and fatigue in the tubing by forcing it to bend more sharply as it passes over each roller. The tension in the tubing string due to its own weight and resistance to being uncoiled pulls the tubing forcefully against each roller thereby inducing excessively high contact stresses in the tubing due to the very small roller surface area in contact with the tubing passing thereover. This then leads to shortened tubing life and more frequent failure in the string due to a concentration of bending moments and the problems caused thereby.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved guide arch which obviates and mitigates from the disadvantages of the prior art.
According to the present invention then, there is provided a guide arch for guiding the movement of tubing through a predetermined curvature, said guide arch comprising housing means, endless curved conveyor means mounted within said housing means to support said tubing through the curvature thereof, wherein said conveyor means continuously support said tubing along the majority of the length thereof passing over said arch for reducing contact stress between said tubing and said conveyor means.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the applicant's arch uses a form of conveyor for continuously supporting the tubing over a curvature of constant radius to eliminate or at least greatly reduce the high stresses otherwise localized at the points where the tubing is forced to change direction sharply as it passes over each roller in a conventional guide arch. In addition to the smooth, continuous curvature of the present arch, applicant's conveyor guide provides in a preferred embodiment a large surface area in constant contact with the tubing passing thereover to reduce surface contact stresses to insignificant levels, thereby leading to increased tubing life and lower failure rates. In a further preferred embodiment, this large contact area is provided by means of support blocks having semi-circular recesses therein to conformably receive an associated length of the tubing therein.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in greater detail and will be better understood when read in conjunction with the following drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational, partially cut-away view of the present conveyor guide;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational, partially sectional view of a portion of the conveyor guide of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of part of a conveyor chain forming part of the assembly of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a bottom elevational view of the conveyor chain of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an end elevational, partially sectional view of the conveyor chain of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conveyor guide of FIG. 1 along the line A--A; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the conveyor guide of FIG. 1 along the line B--B.
With reference to FIG. 1, the present conveyor guide arch 50 (conveyor guide) comprises a curved housing 40 defined on its side by a pair of opposed side plates 11 and conveyor chains 6 and 26 for supporting and guiding continuous tubing 5 from a spool or reel thereof (not shown) through a predetermined curvature which may exceed 90� into a vertical position for injection down a wellbore (not shown) in the direction of arrow A. It will be understood that the present guide can be used equally effectively in the opposite direction when tubing is to be removed from a well. The rate of curvature of conveyor chains 6 and 26 is constant from the point 55 where tubing 5 first makes contact with conveyor 6 to point 56 where the tubing is discharged to avoid causing localized stress in the tubing due to sudden changes in its direction of travel.
Conveyor 6, which will be described in greater detail below, is supported at opposite ends on sprockets 7. The sprockets are mounted on rotatable shafts 8 journalled into bearings (such as ball bearings) (not shown) mounted onto opposed outer surfaces of side plates 11. Between sprockets 7, the curvature of conveyor chain 6 is defined along its upper tube-supporting run by a roller track 12 suspended between opposed inner surfaces of side plates 11, and on the return loop by a low-friction slide 14 and, if needed, a backup plate 13, both of which are similarly suspended from opposite inner surfaces of the side plates.
Conveyor chain 26, which is structurally identical to chain 6, is similarly supported at its opposite ends on sprockets 22 and 23 with the desired curvature being imparted on the upper run by roller track 12 and on the return loop by a slide 14 and backup plate 13.
The present guide may consist of a single conveyor chain, but depending upon the guide's length and total curvature, it will more typically consist of, as shown in the appended drawings, two or more conveyor chains separately housed within individual sections bolted together as at 21 (FIG. 2). Where the guide consists of or includes more than one conveyor chain, it may be desirable, although not necessary, that the individual chains be linked to one another to ensure their rotation at the same speed. Such a connection ensures moreover that the tubing doesn't merely slide over upstream conveyor chain 6. In this regard, tubing 5 will uniformly engage the entire length of downstream conveyor chain 26 to cause its rotation at the same speed as the tubing's own rate of travel. On the other hand, tubing 5 may not necessarily engage the entire length of chain 6, particularly if the tubing comes in at a smaller angle to the horizontal in which case its contact with chain's will be more glancing in the area approaching the chain's downstream end. Connection between the two chains ensures therefore that chain 6 will always rotate at the same speed as the tubing to avoid an abrasive sliding contact between these two elements.
With reference to FIG. 2, there is shown a means for connecting the two conveyor chains to ensure their uniform rate of rotation. Sprocket 23 supporting the upstream end of conveyor chain 26 is mounted into a bearing take-up frame 10 that is itself adjustable to allow for adjustments to this chain's tension. Frame 10 is supported on the opposed outer surfaces of side plates 11. Sprocket 23 and sprocket 7 at the downstream end of conveyor 6, which are of equal size, each include a side sprocket also of equal size shown schematically at 28 to engage timing chain 16. An adjustable idler sprocket 24 is provided to maintain proper tension in timing chain 16 particularly in response to any adjustments to the position of sprocket 23. As will be obvious, as chain 26 rotates, so will chain 6 due to the interconnection provided by chain 16.
Chain conveyors 6 and 26 will now be described in greater detail with reference to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. The two conveyors are essentially identical so that the following description applies equally to both.
With reference to FIG. 3, a length of tubing 5 is shown supported on a length of conveyor chain 6 comprising a plurality of closely spaced links which together form an endless loop. Each link includes a support block 1 which supports the overlying associated length of tubing 5 as it passes through the arch. Each support block 1 is aligned orthogonally to the direction of travel of the tubing and is fastened to a pair of inverted L-shaped flange-like attachment plates 3 with holes formed therein to receive studs and nuts 4 for connecting the support block and attachment plates together. The vertical legs 3a of the attachment plates are connected together by means of pins 27 which additionally rotatably support carrier rollers 2. As shown most clearly in FIG. 4, the distance between opposed pairs of vertical legs 3a is staggered to permit the necessary interlinking to form the conveyor chain.
Each support block 1 is formed with a semi-circular concavity 43 to conformably receive therein the associated length of tubing 5. This provides the highest possible surface contact between the tubing and the conveyor chain to minimize contact stress with the tubing.
With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, conveyor chain 6 in operation runs between side plates 11 on carrier rollers 2 which engage curved roller track 12. On the return loop, chain 6 is supported by curved low-friction slide 14 consisting of, for example, a suitable wear-resistant polymer material. Added strength, if needed, is provided by a metallic backup plate 13.
Conveyors 6 and 26 run without any external power being applied thereto and will rotate without slippage relative to tubing 5 so long as the frictional contact between the tubing and support blocks 1 exceeds the rolling friction in the conveyors themselves.
The present guide additionally includes a number of spaced apart grooved rollers 17 located above tubing 5 to keep the tubing and supporting segments of conveyor chains 6 and 26 centered between plates 11 and to prevent the tubing from jumping the guide. Each roller 17 is rotatably supported on a bearing 20 and is mounted in a frame 18 pivotally connected to one of side plates 11 by means of a hinge 19 to allow for the installation of the tubing. Each frame 18 additionally includes a suitable means 32 allowing it to be locked down to the opposite side plate 11 such as by means of a pin 33 as seen most clearly in FIG. 2. Other lock-down means will of course readily occur to those skilled in the art.
The present guide will typically be mounted onto the frame of a known coiled tubing injector (not shown), and to facilitate this connection, side plates 11 may be widened at one end as shown at 25 to allow for fasteners used in making the connection to the injector. The usual form of connection is by pinning to simplify installation and disassembly.
In operation, tubing 5 normally makes tangential contact with the conveyor chain and remains in contact with the chain while bending through the desired angle before being discharged from the guide tangentially to the downstream end of the conveyor chain. The guide functions the same whether the tubing is being injected into or removed from the wellbore. Bending of the tubing itself over the guide is substantially due to its own resistance in being unspooled.
It is contemplated that in some applications, an external drive may be applied to the conveyor chains to cause their rotation.

|Reviews for A Different Kind of Summons
| SeverlyLate chapter 8 . 5/17
Thats an idiotic plot twist and no way it can do anything but bomb the story.
| reviewer chapter 31 . 3/3
lovely chapter
| TheOtaku Akatsuki chapter 15 . 1/11
This is fucked up. Nobody on the team trusts each other. Sakura stole from Naruto...Sasuke stole from Sakura...and what was the thing with the random melon and Kiba? Too funny. Shoulda added a few like Kabuto's team got gifted with a blow up doll or something.
| Ibskib chapter 31 . 1/9
Considering the final scene, it feels more like the end of the first story arc, I'm not much for leaving things open ended, considering the scroll is a central plot mechanism, several questions are unanswered, such as whether Sasuke still can use the summons, or more generally whether Naruto can edit it, now that the scroll is in his possession again.
| Ibskib chapter 20 . 1/9
Seems I was wrong, it's good to see.
| Ibskib chapter 17 . 1/9
It's good to be patient, but on the other hand one shouldn't become passive, it seems like Naruto isn't even making a token effort at getting the summoning scroll back, something that in the end is his responsibility.
What he should do is summon a counterpart that is a master of stealth and infiltration, to shadow possible suspects, such as Sasuke, if one teammate stole from him, it should be obvious that the second might also.
Also, is Sakura even being punished? It was mentioned earlier on that stealing a summoning contract is a grave offense, so far it seems like she has only benefited from her criminal act.
Hopefully when Naruto gets the scroll back, he can remove other entries, although I can't remember if the idea of a master summoner is a fanon thing or not.
| Guest chapter 8 . 4/27/2014
I quit reading right here. Not bad writing at all just hated the plot twist. Letting Sakura steal the scroll so easily made me lose interest and not like the direction. It was a lot more fun if only Naruto had it.
| Wacko12 chapter 8 . 2/20/2014
wait did Sakura just sneak into Naruto's home and sign the tiger contract? reply
| frytrix chapter 15 . 12/11/2013
It had a good start and the idea was interesting, but congratulation you destroyed the story.
Everyone gets to sign the scroll and it ends up in and evergoing Battle wich will bore us to Death.
In other Words, i as many, many others will simply put stop Reading here.

Oh, you just saw Rocky....
James McAvoy Signed, and Eager, for X-Men: First Class Sequels
Just hen I think I see every thread title you beat me to this news. SO, X-Men First Class to get a sequel
So very for it. YES!
The bad news: Matthew Vaughn himself hasn't been confirmed BUT a scriptwriter has, and Vaughn insisted he was going to write the script himself so... the rumors and speculation have begun. BC suspects he might not be involved in the sequel anymore, but I hope it's just a bad rumor.
Matthew Vaughn confirmed for the sequel!
Second Class?
I hope they won't call it First Class 2, that seems kinda lame as a title.
X-Men: More Class
X-Men: The Rise of Beak
X-Men: Mutants in Spaaaaaaace
Something like:
X-Men: NeXt Class
The second they call the sequel Next Men, the second John Byrne becomes an armed terrorist.
X-Men: How We Spent Our Summer Vacation
He's a ginger. He's probably a terrorist already.
X-Men: Grad School
This time there's no curve.
Wheeling Charles Xavier to Disneyland just so they could skip the long lines.
X-Men: Year One? Oh wait...
Rounding out the trilogy.
X-Men: Post-Doc

Because the only acceptable form of racism is, apparently, that against gingers. I, of course, do not take part in that form of racism. But anyway, a sequel! That's good, right? As in two more films of James McAvoy getting progressively balder?
I'm pleasantly surprised about the sequel, given First Class' lukewarm box office.

My cousin Laura had approached me about wanting to take their family pictures in the snow, which of course I thought sounded like fun! After many attempts we finally pulled it off and even though it was cold we had a lot of fun and got some fun memories. Come on and tell me you can't look at the first picture and not start to crave that wonderful Pizza King pizza. Thanks guys it was great spending time with you all!
I love all the pictures especially when the family is playing with snow. They all really had fun on this photo session.
I was watching the rain clouds on my way up to Fort Wayne hoping they'd hold off until after my session….but no such luck, the rain came! But Ryan and Shelby were the best sports and despite the weather I think we got several great shots. And Shelby's hair still looked great at the end! If you look closely you can even see the rain coming down in some of the pictures! Thanks guys and I look forward to shooting your wedding next September!
Check out a few of my favorites from Rylee's Senior pictures taken last week! I wish so much that Fall would last a little longer, I love the look of fall and can't get enough of it! Don't Forget to "Like" Sacred Images Fan page!
The wedding took place a few weeks ago and though the day looked like rain, we had a gorgeous day and luckily the rain held out! Everyone was such good sports when we had to rush through the pictures, and the couple's boys were so adorable in their little white suits! The reception at the families barn was just gorgeous and decorated so beautifully! You guys were a pleasure to work with and I hope you enjoyed the day and will cherish these moments forever. Thanks for honoring me to be your photographer. -Mandi

Without a doubt, normally a bank owned transaction is a much quicker and easier experience than a short sale. Bank owner transactions can often close with the same level of efficiency as a regular sale.
The only true benefit of a short sale is one of being the "perfect home" for the buyer.
Bank owned homes can usually close in the 30-day ballpark.
Short sales aren't even close - you have to figure on at least 3 months with no upper limit.....if at all.
Bank owned will generally close quicker. Banks aren't as responsive as private party sellers, so it may not be as quick to get an answer from them once you submit an offer.
The other issue with bank owned is you don't receive a disclosure, or at least a very useful one. The bank or it's reps never lived in the house. They would have no knowledge of past plumbing problems or roof leaks.
With a short sale, you'll receive a seller's disclosure, but have no guaranteed closing date for weeks or months. Three to six months are not uncommon wait times for short sales. During this time the bank may foreclose or make a modification available to the owner, effectively killing your purchase, rates can and will be changing along the way. If there is a major jump, you could be priced out of the home.
My general recommendation is to find a home you love and are willing to invest your money, time and life into for the foreseeable future. The longer you live in a home the better the chance you'll have equity.

Harcourts Building saved again – a second ruling refuses to allow demolition
The Environment Court ruled yesterday that the Category 1 Harcourts building on Lambton Quay cannot be demolished.
The court upheld a decision by Wellington City Council commissioners who in February declined an application by the building's owner to knock down the 85-year old eight-storey office block to make way for a new 25-storey tower block.
The court agreed that the building has high heritage values, that adaptive reuse was not explored to its satisfaction other than with a handicap imposed by a rigidly set bottom-line figure being demanded for the land and building as they are, and that proper sensitive facade retention was not adequately explored.
It will sit there and rot, says owner, unhelpfully
Here's how Historic Places Wellington responded after the commissioners declined the application for demolition earlier this year.
News from Historic Places Wellington – February 27
The application for consent to demolish Harcourts Building in Lambton Quay has been declined. This is a very important decision, not just for this building, but for future cases where owners wish to get rid of heritage buildings which may require work to bring them up to an acceptable seismic standard.
This Category I landmark building on the Lambton Quay/Grey Street corner was the subject of a resource consent application by the owner to demolish the building and replace it with a tower block. Although built to the highest standards of its day, Harcourts has been declared an earthquake-prone building, and remedial works will be required if it is to be preserved.
The resource consent application was heard by Commissioners in a four day hearing in late December. Evidence for Historic Places Wellington opposing the application was presented by committee members John Daniels, Deborah Cranko and Peter Dowell (by phone link from Sydney). The evidence dealt with the building's significance, seismic resistance and other technical issues relating to Harcourts, and the market for strengthened heritage properties in Wellington. Our evidence complemented that of New Zealand Historic Places Trust, and was supported by a range of other organisations and individuals opposed to demolition.
The Commissioners found that a compelling case had not been made for demolition, and therefore declined the application. Their decision is long and complex, including analysis of the case against the provisions of the Resource Management Act and the Wellington City district plan. The Commissioners pointed to doubts about a number of crucial points in the case made for demolition, including
• the structural strength of the building. The applicant's own engineering witness stated that the building could be 42% of current code, which would put it well above the recommended 33%.
• the need to strengthen the building to 100% of current code, as advocated by the applicant.
• estimated costs of structural strengthening. Costs put forward by the applicant differed from other strengthening projects of similar buildings in the city.
• the state of the market for space in older buildings in the city.
The Commissioners stated:
"Based on the evidence before us, we have concluded that not every 'reasonable alternative solution' for retaining the building has been considered. This includes strengthening to a standard of less than 100%NBS"
They concluded that "the demolition of the Harcourt's Building would not constitute sustainable management of an important physical resource, namely a heritage building of considerable significance".

Localization, Physiological Significance and Possible Clinical Implication of Gastrointestinal MelatoninBubenik G.A.

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is a major source of extrapineal melatonin. In some animals, tissue concentrations of melatonin in the GIT surpass blood levels by 10–100 times and the digestive tract contributes significantly to melatonin concentrations in the peripheral blood, particularly during the day. Some melatonin found in the GIT may originate from the pineal gland, as the organs of the digestive system contain binding sites, which in some species exhibit circadian variation. Unlike the production of pineal melatonin, which is under the photoperiodic control, release of GI melatonin seems to be related to periodicity of food intake. Melatonin and melatonin binding sites were localized in all GI tissues of mammalian and avian embryos. Postnatally, melatonin was localized in the GIT of newborn mice and rats. Phylogenetically, melatonin and melatonin binding sites were detected in GIT of numerous mammals, birds and lower vertebrates. Melatonin is probably produced in the serotonin-rich enterochromaffin cells (EC) of the GI mucosa and can be released into the portal vein postprandially. In addition, melatonin can act as an autocrine or a paracrine hormone affecting the function of GI epithelium, lymphatic tissues of the immune system and the smooth muscles of the digestive tube. Finally, melatonin may act as a luminal hormone, synchronizing the sequential digestive processes. Higher peripheral and tissue levels of melatonin were observed not only after food intake but also after a long-term food deprivation. Such melatonin release may have a direct effect on the various GI tissues but may also act indirectly via the CNS; such action might be mediated by sympathetic or parasympathetic nerves. Melatonin can protect GI mucosa from ulceration by its antioxidant action, stimulation of the immune system and by fostering microcirculation and epithelial regeneration. Melatonin may reduce the secretion of pepsin and the hydrochloric acid and influence the activity of the myoelectric complexes of the gut via its action in the CNS. Tissue or blood levels of melatonin may serve as a marker of GI lesions or tumors. Clinically, melatonin has a potential for a prevention or treatment of colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, children colic and diarrhea.

Ectopic histone H3S10 phosphorylation causes chromatin structure remodeling in Drosophila
ABSTRACT Histones are subject to numerous post-translational modifications that correlate with the state of higher-order chromatin structure and gene expression. However, it is not clear whether changes in these epigenetic marks are causative regulatory factors in chromatin structure changes or whether they play a mainly reinforcing or maintenance role. In Drosophila phosphorylation of histone H3S10 in euchromatic chromatin regions by the JIL-1 tandem kinase has been implicated in counteracting heterochromatization and gene silencing. Here we show, using a LacI-tethering system, that JIL-1 mediated ectopic histone H3S10 phosphorylation is sufficient to induce a change in higher-order chromatin structure from a condensed heterochromatin-like state to a more open euchromatic state. This effect was absent when a ;kinase dead' LacI-JIL-1 construct without histone H3S10 phosphorylation activity was expressed. Instead, the 'kinase dead' construct had a dominant-negative effect, leading to a disruption of chromatin structure that was associated with a global repression of histone H3S10 phosphorylation levels. These findings provide direct evidence that the epigenetic histone tail modification of H3S10 phosphorylation at interphase can function as a causative regulator of higher-order chromatin structure in Drosophila in vivo.

ABSTRACT: Drosophila polytene interphase chromosomes provide an ideal test system to study the rules that define the structure of chromatin domains. We established a transgenic condensed chromatin domain cassette for the insertion of large pieces of DNA by site specific recombination. Insertion of this cassette into open chromatin generated a condensed domain, visible as an extra band on polytene chromosomes. Site specific recombination of DNA sequence variants into this ectopic band allowed us to compare their capacity for open chromatin formation by cytogenetic methods. We demonstrate that the 61C7-8 interband DNA maintains its open chromatin conformation and epigenetic state at an ectopic position. By deletion analysis we mapped the sequences essential for open chromatin formation to a 490 bp fragment in the proximal part of the 17 kb interband sequence. This fragment overlaps binding sites of the chromatin protein Chriz, the histone kinase Jil-1 and the boundary element protein CP190. It also overlaps a promoter region that locates in between the Rev1 and Med30 transcription units.Journal of Cell Science 03/2014; 127(10). DOI:10.1242/jcs.147546 · 5.33 Impact Factor
Article: Kinase-Mediated Changes in Nucleosome Conformation Trigger Chromatin Decondensation via Poly(ADP-Ribosyl)ation.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dynamically controlled posttranslational modifications of nucleosomal histones alter chromatin condensation to regulate transcriptional activation. We report that a nuclear tandem kinase, JIL-1, controls gene expression by activating poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). JIL-1 phosphorylates the C terminus of the H2Av histone variant, which stimulates PARP-1 enzymatic activity in the surrounding chromatin, leading to further modification of histones and chromatin loosening. The H2Av nucleosome has a higher surface representation of PARP-1 binding patch, consisting of H3 and H4 epitopes. Phosphorylation of H2Av by JIL-1 restructures this surface patch, leading to activation of PARP-1. Exposure of Val61 and Leu23 of the H4 histone is critical for PARP-1 binding on nucleosome and PARP-1 activation following H2Av phosphorylation. We propose that chromatin loosening and associated initiation of gene expression is activated by phosphorylation of H2Av in a nucleosome positioned in promoter regions of PARP-1-dependent genes.Molecular cell 02/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.molcel.2014.01.005 · 14.46 Impact Factor
