Änderungskündigung

Für Bestandverh?ltnisse, auf die noch § 1 Abs 2 Z 4 MRG aF weiterhin anzuwenden ist (§ 49d Abs 2 MRG), gilt auch § 45 Abs 3 MRG nF wie für Mietgegenst?nde nach § 1 Abs 4 Z 1 MRG nF (weiter). Ab dem Anhebungsbegehren des Vermieters nach § 45 MRG gelten ua die §§ 18ff MRG. Nur wenn das Verlangen nach einem Erhaltungsbeitrag wegen der H?he des vereinbarten Hauptmietzinses nicht m?glich w?re, der vereinbarte Hauptmietzins aber zur Erhaltung des Hauses nicht ausreichte, k?me eine "?nderungskündigung" in Betracht. Es ist n?mlich lediglich die Einhebung eines Erhaltungsbeitrages, nicht aber eine ?nderungskündigung mit dem Ziel m?glich, den Mieter zu einer Erh?hung des Hauptmietzinses auf das angemessene Ma? zu bringen.

Real-time polymerase chain reaction quantification of canine DNA

The accurate quantification of target DNA is an important step in the short tandem repeat analysis of forensic biological samples. By utilizing quantification data to control the amount of template DNA in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), forensic scientists can optimize testing and minimize the consumption of limited samples. The ability to identify and quantify target DNA in mixed-species samples is crucial when it may be overwhelmed by nontarget DNA, as in cases of dog attack. We evaluated two quantitative real-time PCR assays for dynamic range, species specificity, and inhibition by humic acid. While both assays proved to be highly sensitive and discriminating, the Melanocortin-1 Receptor (MC1R) gene Taqman assay had the advantages of a shorter run time, greater efficiency, and safer reagents. In its application to forensic casework, the MC1R assay has been advantageous for quantifying dog DNA in a variety of mixed-species samples and facilitating the successful profiling of individual dogs.     

马泰勒虫EMA1基因的克隆与生物学特性分析

根据GenBank上登录的马泰勒虫美国株(AB043618)裂殖子表面蛋白抗原1(EMA1)基因,设计了2对引物,采用PCR技术首次扩增出我国马泰勒虫肇源株EMA1基因。将该基因克隆到pMD19-T载体后,进行序列测定及分析。将鉴定为阳性的克隆重组到原核表达载体pET-30a后进行表达,并纯化表达的重组蛋白,进行Western-blotting试验,以鉴定其生物学活性。结果,EMA1基因长819bp,编码272个氨基酸,将该基因编码蛋白的氨基酸序列与GenBank中登录的11种已知梨形虫的相应氨基酸序列进行比较分析,马泰勒虫肇源分离株与已报道的马泰勒虫(马巴贝斯虫)亲缘关系最近,其次是环形泰勒虫和斑羚泰勒虫,而与东方泰勒虫、瑟氏泰勒虫的亲缘关系较远。表达的重组蛋白是分子质量约为38ku的融合蛋白,且表达产物能被马泰勒虫标准阳性血清识别。结果表明,马泰勒虫EMA1作为一种良好的抗原分子,在虫株的分类学研究、流行病学调查以及候选疫苗的研制中有着重要的意义。     

中华鳖TLR2部分序列的克隆及其组织表达差异分析

猪霍乱沙门氏菌C78-1株ΔcrpΔasd缺失株平衡致死载体系统的构建及生物学特性研究

为开发减毒猪霍乱沙门氏菌的活疫苗载体,通过自杀性质粒介导的细菌同源重组技术,构建了猪霍乱沙门氏菌C78-1株ΔcrpΔasd双基因缺失株,并对其生物学特性进行探讨。首先构建含有缺失1 488bp asd基因的重组自杀性质粒pREΔasd,然后与已构建完成的ΔcrpC78-1缺失株进行接合转移,采用两步法筛选无抗性的C78-1的ΔcrpΔasd双缺失株。PCR鉴定结果表明,C78-1的ΔcrpΔasd双缺失株构建成功;进一步研究表明,该缺失株的生长需要外源的二氨基庚二酸(DAP),且能稳定遗传缺失的asd基因,与C78-1相比,其血清型未发生变化,但其生长速度明显减慢。ΔcrpΔasd C78-1双缺失株可接受asd+质粒作为宿主平衡致死系统高效稳定地表达外源基因,为开发以C78-1为载体的口服多价疫苗奠定了基础。     

14株基因C型鸭甲肝病毒分离株的VP1基因变异及其编码蛋白的抗原表位分析

对14株分离自四川不同地区的基因C型鸭甲肝病毒(DHAV-C)VP1基因进行了PCR扩增、测序、序列比对分析以及抗原表位分析。结果显示,14株DHAV-C VP1基因核苷酸序列的同源性为92.2%～100%,推导氨基酸序列的同源性为85.8%～100%,与GenBank中的24株DHAV-C VP1基因的核苷酸和氨基酸序列同源性分别为87.9%～99.3%和80.8%～100%。聚类分析显示,四川华阳地区分离的6株DHAV-C的VP1基因与黑龙江分离株Du/CH/LJS/090905同属一支,3株四川邛崃地区分离株与北京分离株C-GY及福建分离株FJ01同属一支,4株四川郫县分离株与1株四川邛崃分离株处于独立的小分支,它们与其他毒株之间存在一定的遗传距离。DHAV-C VP1蛋白由240个氨基酸组成,是由α螺旋、β折叠和无规则卷曲共同组成的混合型蛋白,VP1蛋白氨基酸序列的亲水性、抗原指数和表面可及性均较高,其中212～222位氨基酸区域的亲水性、抗原指数和表面可及性最高,可能是DHAV-C VP1蛋白上的B细胞表位优势区域,为DHAV-C表位疫苗的研究提供了理论依据。结果表明,四川分离株可能由于引种等原因从全国不同地区进入四川境内。     

The Effects of Majority State Ownership of Significant Economic Sectors on Corruption: A Cross-Regional Comparison

Given both corruption's and bureaucratic inefficiency's importance for development and good governance, understanding their causes is paramount. This paper argues that majority state ownership of most the most important economic sectors of a country results in higher levels of corruption and inefficiency. When political and managerial elites both own and manage the country's most important economic resources, they have greater incentives for corrupt or inefficient behavior. These elites use national resources at their disposal more for short-term personal and political goals than for long-term economic ones. This paper tests this hypothesis on a relatively underused, but often cited, data set from the 1980s. Using a cross-national, regression analysis, this paper finds that the best predictors a country's level of corruption or bureaucratic inefficiency are these: majority state ownership of significant economic sectors, levels of GDP per capita, levels of government spending, and levels of democracy. Other factors, such as common law heritage, percent of population that is Protestant, federalism, economic freedoms, or mineral/ oil exporting, were not consistent, significant predictors of either bureaucratic inefficiency or corruption. We also argue that Tobit may be the best estimation procedure for these data.     

Evaluation of a Freezer Mill for Bone Pulverization prior to DNA Extraction: An Improved Workflow for STR Analysis

Traditional methods for bone pulverization typically generate heat, risking stability of DNA sample. SPEX? has developed cryogenic grinders which introduce liquid nitrogen to cool the sample and aid in the grinding process. In this study, the Freezer Mill 6970 EFM was used with two DNA extraction methods and routine downstream STR analysis procedures. DNA from as little as 0.1 g of bone powder was used to develop full STR profiles after freezer mill pulverization, and the method was reproducible. Further, no contamination was detected upon cleaning/reuse of the sample vials. There were no significant differences in DNA yield, STR alleles detected, or peak heights using the freezer mill as compared to traditional grinding, and successful DNA profiles were achieved from as low as 0.1 g of bone powder with this method. Overall, this work indicates that this cryogenic mill method may be used as a viable alternative to traditional tissue grinders.     

Expressions of IL -1α, IL -1β and IL -13 mRNA in Lung Tissue and Serum of Rats Drown in Fresh WaterCSCD

Objective: To detect the changes of (interleukin, IL)-1α, IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in lung tissue and serum of drown rats, and to explore the potential value for the diagnosis of drowning in forensic practice. Methods: Eighteen SD rats were randomly divided into drowning group, blank control group and myocardial infarction group (as control group). The serum of right ventricular, the inferior lobe of right lung and the myocardium were taken from the rats in different groups. The expressions of IL- 1α, IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in the lung tissue and the serum of right ventricular were detected by TaqMan probe method. Results: The expression differences of IL-1α, IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in lung tissue between drowning group and blank control group, myocardial infarction group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The expression of IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in serum of right ventricular increased (P<0.05). The expression differences of IL-1α, IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in serum between blank control group and myocardial infarction group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The changes of cytokines IL-1βand IL-13 mRNA in the serum of right ventricular of drown rats are statistical significance, which are highly correlated with drowning. © 2018 by the Editorial Department of Journal of Forensic Medicine.
