However, findings are equivocal. In the context of more recent findings implying an age-dependent change in the efficiency of attentional and inhibition processes, the present study compares two groups of young and older adults concerning their ability to solve an everyday-like task. In order to effectively solve the task, subjects had to focus on goal-relevant information and, at the same time, inhibit irrelevant information. Subjects selected the relevant items from a shopping list and subsequently participated in a word detection experiment. The results demonstrate older adults taking more time overall to solve the task. However, they were differentiating and maintaining both relevant and irrelevant information in a way comparable to the younger adults. This finding indicates a deficit in older adults concerning the speed component of information processing. However, older adults do not seem to be impaired in their ability to focus on relevant information.</p>","PeriodicalId":76845,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie","volume":"26 5","pages":"330-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19261432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the mRNA is structurally bound during transport, mRNA transport is a \"solid-state\" process consisting of i) mRNA release from the nuclear matrix, ii) mRNA translocation through the nuclear pore, and iii) cytoskeletal binding. We identified and purified the following components involved in the translocation step: i) the nuclear envelope (NE) nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) which is stimulated by the 3'poly(A) tail of mRNA, ii) the poly(A)-recognizing mRNA carrier, iii) the NE protein kinase, and iv) the NE phosphatase. In addition, we found that an RNA helicase activity is present in NE, which also may be involved in RNA transport. Our results show that, besides poly(A), also double-stranded RNA structures may modulate RNA export. The amount of mRNA released from nuclei markedly decreases with age. Evidence is presented that this age-dependent change is caused by an impairment of polyadenylation of mRNA, hnRNA processing, release of mRNA from nuclear matrix, and translocations of mRNA from nuclear to cytoplasmic compartment (decrease in activities of NE NTPase, protein kinase, and phosphatase; decrease in poly(A)-binding affinity of mRNA carrier).</p>","PeriodicalId":76845,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie","volume":"26 4","pages":"221-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19202317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that soluble 2-5A synthase (2-5OAS) activity strongly increases after birth, reaching maximal levels in young adult and middle-aged adult animals, and then significantly decreases with age. In contrast, the activity of 2',3'-exoribonuclease which inactivates 2-5A increases by three-fold with age. The decrease in 2-5OAS activity and increase in 2-5A nuclease activity were found to result in a decrease in the cellular 2-5A content with age. The 2-5A-dependent ribonuclease (RNase L), which degrades viral RNA, also changes age-dependently. The amount and activity of this enzyme were determined in cross-linking experiments, in nitrocellulose binding assays; and in the ribosomal RNA cleavage assay. The livers of old rats display a 5-6-fold decrease in RNase L activity compared to the adult animal groups, while the amount of the enzyme does not change significantly during aging, with the exception of a drop by 30% in the nuclear matrix fraction.

Cells of TM derived from a normal (TM-N-cells) and a glaucomatous human eye (TM-G-cells) were established in monolayer culture. The present comparative experiments were performed with cells kept in a defined serum-free medium (the aqueous humor is nearly protein-free!). Under these conditions the cells stay alive for several months in a non-proliferating state. TM-G-cells exhibited a lower synthesis rate of glycosaminoglycans-especially of hyaluronic acid (HA)--than TM-N-cells. Addition of 50-200 micrograms/ml ascorbic acid (the aqueous humor is characterized by a high ascorbic acid concentration of about 150 micrograms/ml) to the culture medium resulted in a significant dose-dependent stimulation of HA-synthesis and secretion, which was relatively stronger in case of TM-G-cells than with TM-N-cells.
