DTN News: Medical TODAY May 6, 2009 - Sub: Exosome Complex
(NSI News Source Info) May 6, 2009: The exosome complex (or PM/Scl complex, often just called the exosome) is a multi-protein complex capable of degrading various types of RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules. Exosome complexes can be found in both eukaryotic cells and archaea, while in bacteria a simpler complex called the degradosome carries out similar functions. The core of the complex has a six-membered ring structure, to which other proteins are attached. In eukaryotic cells, the complex is present in the cytoplasm, nucleus and especially the nucleolus, although different proteins interact with the complex in these compartments, in order to regulate the RNA degradation activity of the complex to substrates specific for these cell compartments.
Substrates of the exosome include messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and many species of small RNAs. The exosome has an exoribonucleolytic function, meaning it degrades RNA starting at one side (the so-called 3′ end this case), rather than cleaving the RNA at specific sites. Although no causative relation between the complex and any disease is known, several proteins in the complex are the target of autoantibodies in patients with specific autoimmune diseases (especially the PM/Scl overlap syndrome) and some antimetabolitic chemotherapies for cancer function by blocking the activity of the complex.

Italian Takes Over Eurofighter Consortium
(NSI News Source Info) ROME - May 6, 2009: Alenia Aeronautica executive Enzo Casolini has been appointed head of the Eurofighter industrial consortium, it was announced May 5. Casolini, formerly commercial head for military aircraft at consortium partner Alenia, replaces Aloysius Rauen, who stepped down on April 30. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine canard-delta wing multirole aircraft. It is being designed and built by a consortium of three separate partner companies: Alenia Aeronautica, BAE Systems, and EADS working through a holding company Eurofighter GmbH which was formed in 1986. The project is managed by NETMA (NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency) which acts as the prime customer. The series production of the Eurofighter Typhoon is underway, and the aircraft is being procured under three separate contracts (referred to as "tranches"), each for aircraft with successively greater capabilities. The aircraft has entered service with the UK Royal Air Force, the German Luftwaffe, the Italian Air Force, the Spanish Air Force and the Austrian Air Force. Saudi Arabia has signed a £4.43 billion (approx. 6.4 billion c. 2007) contract for 72 aircraft. Born in 1945, Casolini served as an officer in the Italian Air Force. In 1978, he joined the NATO MRCA Management Agency in Munich to work on aircraft equipment qualification. After leaving the Air Force in 1987, he joined Aeritalia - later renamed Alenia Aeronautica - in 1989, where he was appointed senior vice president and head of commercial for Military Air Systems in 2002. Eurofighter also announced that Bernhard Gerwert had been appointed the new chairman of the Supervisory Board. Gerwert, born in 1953, is presently CEO of Military Air Systems, a business unit of EADS Defence & Security and a member of the board of EADS Defence & Security, Eurofighter said in a statement.

US President Barack Obama's Afghan-Pakistan Challenge / Talks To Mull Pakistan 'Sanctuaries': President Hamid Karzai

US President Barack Obama's Afghan-Pakistan Challenge / Talks To Mull Pakistan 'Sanctuaries': President Hamid Karzai
(NSI News Source Info) WASHINGTON - May 6, 2009: Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai Tuesday said a White House summit with his Pakistani counterpart will discuss closing militant "sanctuaries" in Pakistan. Karzai said that Afghans overwhelmingly opposed Taliban extremists but said that the militants enjoyed bases across the porous border with Pakistan. Local residents sit on the rooftop of a bus to flee from the area in Mingora, the main of town of Pakistan Swat Valley, Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Taliban militants patrolled the streets of a northwestern town Monday and residents were ordered to flee as a peace deal widely criticized as a surrender to the extremists appeared on the verge of collapse, witnesses and officials said. "The return of the Taliban is because we did not address the question of sanctuaries in time. Unfortunately, today, Pakistan is suffering with us massively as a consequence of that," Karzai said. Karzai is set to meet Wednesday with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and US President Barack Obama, who has put a new focus on rooting out extremism from the region. "Tomorrow we will have an occasion between us -- Afghanistan, Pakistan and America -- to address this very question," Karzai said at the Brookings Institution think-tank. "Afghanistan will do all that it can, in immense friendship and brotherhood with Pakistan and alliance and friendship with America, to address it," he said. Pakistan was the main backer of Afghanistan's hardline Taliban regime until the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, which then invaded and paved the way for Karzai to take office in Kabul. Karzai said that Afghans remained deeply grateful to Pakistan for helping fight the Soviet Union and then playing host to millions of Afghan refugees. Pakistani police officials collect evidence at the site following a suicide blast near Bara on May 5, 2009, where the city limits of Peshawar run into the semi-autonomous tribal area of Khyber, which is infested with Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants. A suicide car bomber rammed a Pakistan military vehicle on the edge of the northwest city of Peshawar, killing four civilians and wounding another nine people, police said. But he said Afghanistan had "differences of opinion" with "certain elements of the Pakistani policy," such as the use of religious radicalism. He also dismissed Pakistan's concerns about rival India's influence in Afghanistan, saying his country was free to make its own friends. "We are a very jealous country when it comes to that. We love our independence like hell and our sovereignty," Karzai said. "That's why we have fought everybody."

ALLERGY-TRUE CAUSE FOUND! According to the developers of the project
«The European Network for Asthma and Allergies» 2015 European countries facing the epidemic of allergic diseases. Scientists from 25 research centers argue that if not the true cause of allergy, by which time half of Europeans will suffer from allergies. To date, three main causes of allergies. First, it is the allergens, ie substances that provoke its appearance. It can be food, smells, animal fur, etc. The second reason is emissions-free pool of histamine, which causes an allergic reaction. The third reason - immunodeficiency. Accordingly, methods for the treatment of allergies are usually to the exclusion of allergens and receive antihistamines and immunostimulatory drugs. Before the so-called treatment is to identify the allergen samples. And I have to say, the list of allergens is so high that all of this so-called treatment is absurd. With current treatment methods is that some people suffering from allergies, it can not be practically nothing is, nothing to breathe - in this case, they rid themselves of allergic manifestations, but not from the allergy. Agree, this is small consolation for those who wish to live a full life with no allergies, and without it. It is evident that the cure for any disease, you need to find its true cause and eliminate it. Indeed, today there is more questions, on which there is no answer. What is the cause of education free of histamine in the body? Why are some allergens act on some and not act on other people? Is there a way out of this vicious circle, or people with allergies and will be doomed for life to swallow handfuls anti-allergic drugs (protivoallergicheskie) means that can alleviate the condition only for the duration of their admission? Out there! According to Professor Khachatrian AP in patients with allergy, from faecal masses colon is almost always provided with pathogenic Escherichia coli gistaminogennym factor. Studies have shown that it blocks the enzyme gistaminazu, which regulates the formation of histamine. Gistaminaza When the enzyme is blocked, there is education and the uncontrolled release of histamine in the body, which is the main cause of allergic reactions. As for the pathogenic Escherichia coli? Where did it appear? The point is that in the process of evolution of man in his large intestine to settle more than 500 species of bacteria, which reaches hundreds of thousands of billions. They are involved in metabolism, synthesis and sharing of vitamins. One of the main functions of intestinal microflora - neutralization of the food allergens that are in principle exist in any food as well as the formation and maintenance of the immune system. Stress, poor ecology, fillers and chemical preservatives in foods, the excessive passion for medicine and others, kill good intestinal microflora. Instead, inhabits a bad microflora. Thus, the root cause of allergy is to reduce the number of a good colon microflora and, consequently, a violation of neutralizing allergens, immune deficiency. The emergence of pathogenic Escherichia coli, which blocks the enzyme gistaminazu that leads to the formation of excess free histamine in the body. Permanent absorption into the blood allergens and toxins on a background of immunodeficiency and increased content of histamine, resulting in allergic reactions and allergies in general. Professor Khachatrian AP developed a new method for treating various forms of allergies both in children and adults, based on addressing the root causes of the disease. Method has been patented in Russia and the United States and allowed to fully heal (and do not learn to live with the disease), many patients with allergies and other diseases, in which it rests.

UN Rebukes Israel Over Gaza Raids

UN Rebukes Israel Over Gaza Raids
(NSI News Source Info) May 6, 2009: A United Nations inquiry into attacks by Israeli forces on UN property during the Gaza conflict four months ago has heavily criticised Israel's army. It found Israel to blame in six out of nine incidents when death and injuries were caused to people sheltering at UN property and UN buildings were damaged. Palestinian children play with a ball outside their houses that were destroyed during Israel's 22-day offensive, in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip on May 5, 2009. Israel blasted a harsh UN report on its three-week war on Gaza in January 2009 that is to be submitted to the Security Council, calling it patently biased, tendentious and misleading. In one case, Palestinian militants were found to have fired at a UN warehouse. The UN recommends further investigation into possible war crimes. Israel has branded the report "highly unbalanced". The investigation rejects Israel's claim that militants were firing from the Fakhura school when at least 40 people outside the school were killed in shellfire. The board of inquiry also criticises Israel's use of white phosphorous shells which caused the incineration of UN's main food warehouse in Gaza. The Israeli foreign ministry said UN investigators had ignored evidence given by Israel and had sided with the Palestinian Hamas movement. "The spirit of the report and its language are tendentious and entirely unbalanced and ignore the facts as they were presented to the commission," it said in a statement. "The commission prefers the positions of Hamas, a murderous terror organization, and by doing so misleads the world public." 'Untrue' The BBC's Laura Trevelyan at the UN says it is a hard-hitting report which includes heavy criticism of the Israeli military's actions and subsequent explanations and justifications. The UN board's first recommendation seeks "formal acknowledgment" by Israel that its public statements that Palestinians fired from a UN school and from within the UN's field office compound "were untrue and are regretted". Another says the UN should take appropriate action to seek accountability and reparation for all deaths and injuries involving its personnel and property. The report says Israel's actions were in breach of the agreement that UN premises and those sheltering within them should be immune from attack, something which cannot be set aside for military action. The board says investigating the deaths of the 40 people killed outside the Fakhura school is outside its remit. It recommends that this and allegations of war crimes committed in Gaza and southern Israel by Palestinian militants and Israel should be investigated by another inquiry. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has stressed this report is not a legal document.
