"Double eyes” sign of congenital bilateral dacryocystoceles
Dacryocystocele is caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction and results in cystic dilatation of the proximal part of the nasolacrimal duct, which is located inferomedial to the orbit, leading to fluid accumulation. It is important to consider that persistent congenital bilateral dacryocystoceles may cause neonatal nasal obstruction resulting in respiratory difficulty, and large dacryocystoceles may require surgical drainage. Ultrasonography demonstrates that congenital bilateral dacryocystoceles and normal eyeballs prenatally resemble two pairs of cystic "lesions” of different sizes. We herein present a case of prenatally diagnosed isolated congenital bilateral dacryocystoceles and propose the new name of "double eyes” sign for this rare condition to create an impact on medical students and resident
Melina II: a web tool for comparisons among several predictive algorithms to find potential motifs from promoter regions
We present the second version of Melina, a web-based tool for promoter analysis. Melina II shows potential DNA motifs in promoter regions with a combination of several available programs, Consensus, MEME, Gibbs sampler, MDscan and Weeder, as well as several parameter settings. It allows running a maximum of four programs simultaneously, and comparing their results with graphical representations. In addition, users can build a weight matrix from a predicted motif and apply it to upstream sequences of several typical genomes (human, mouse, S. cerevisiae, E. coli, B. subtilis or A. thaliana) or to public motif databases (JASPAR or DBTBS) in order to find similar motifs. Melina II is a client/server system developed by using Adobe (Macromedia) Flash and is accessible over the web at http://melina.hgc.jp
