We have seen a number of name changes over the last 60 years as the words Blue Cross were becoming synonymous worldwide with quality health care coverage. We were founded as the Maritime Hospital Service Association in 1943 and became known as the Maritime Blue Cross - Blue Shield Association in 1954. We became Blue Cross of Atlantic Canada in 1986 and, when joined with Maritime Medical Care in 1999, the trade name Atlantic Blue Cross Care was adopted. Our expansion into the Quebec and Ontario markets led to the need for a new name that would encompass all three regions. We created the name "Medavie" because it decribes our business and works well in both our English and French markets. Medavie is derived from the English and French words for "medical" and "to life". We offer everything from medical to life insurance. 1, record 12, English, - Medavie%20Blue%20Cross

Au cours des 60 dernières années, il y a eu de nombreux changements de nom alors que les mots «Croix Bleue »devenaient, à l'échelle mondiale, synonymes de protection-santé de qualité. Nous avons été fondés avec le nom Maritime Hospital Service Association en 1943 et sommes devenus connus sous le nom de Maritime Blue-Cross Blue Shield Association en 1954. Nous sommes devenus La Croix Bleue du Canada atlantique en 1986 et, après la fusion avec Maritime Medical Care en 1999, le nom commercial de Service Croix Bleue de l'Atlantique a été adopté. Notre expansion sur les marchés du Québec et de l'Ontario a entraîné la nécessité d’avoir un nouveau nom qui engloberait les trois régions. Nous avons créé le nom «Medavie »parce qu'il décrit notre entreprise et qu'il fonctionne bien en français et en anglais. Le terme «Medavie »vient de «med »pour «medical »et de «à vie ». Nous offrons tous les types d’assurance de la protection-santé à l'assurance-vie. 1, record 12, French, - Croix%20Bleue%20Medavie

("Unusual" means a base other than A, G, C, or U.) Many of the unusual bases differ from normal bases by the presence of one or more methyl (-CH3) groups. Most, if not all, of the methyl groups are enzymatically added after the nucleotides are linked together by 3'-5' phosphodiester linkages. Very probably, the other unusual bases also arise by the enzymatic modification of a preexisting polynucleotide. The function of the unusual bases is not yet clear. They are not limited to alanine tRNA but occur in varying proportions in all tRNA molecules. Our only hint of their role is the fact that several unusual bases cannot form conventional base pairs. Some of the unusual bases may thus have the function of disruption double-helical hairpin regions, thereby exposing free keto and amino groups which can then form secondary bonds. Depending upon the specific bases, the free groups may form secondary bonds to template RNA, to a ribosome, or to the enzyme needed to attach a specific amino acid to its specific tRNA molecule. [Examples of those rare nucleotides are: Inosine, 1-methylinosine, N2-dimethylguanosine, 1-methylguanosine, Ribothymidine, Dihydrouridine and Pseudouridine]. 1, record 15, English, - unusual%20base

Les deux classes de bases trouvées dans tous les mononucléotides sont dérivées de corps aromatiques hétérocycliques appelés purine et pyrimidine. La purine dérive elle-même de la pyrimidine par la fusion d’un cycle pyrimidine et imidazole. Les trois bases pyrimidiques les plus communes sont : l'uracile, la thymine et la cytosine, désignées couramment par U, T et C respectivement. Les bases puriques intervenant le plus souvent comme composantes des mononucléotides sont l'adénine et la guanine, respectivement désignées par A et G. Il existe [aussi] de nombreuses bases rares, telles que la 5-méthylcytosine, ou la 5-hydroxyméthyl-cytosine, [l'ionosine, la pseudouridine, etc... ] Le rôle de ces bases rares n’ est pas clair pour l'instant. Elles(...) existent en proportions variables dans toutes les molécules de tARN. Seul indice connu sur leur rôle possible, ces bases rares ne peuvent pas s’apparier de la manière habituelle. Certaines de ces bases rares pourraient donc avoir pour fonction de provoquer l'ouverture de quelques régions en épingle à cheveux de la double hélice, exposant ainsi des groupements cétones et aminés libres susceptibles de former des liaisons secondaires. Selon la nature des bases exposées, ces groupements libres pourraient former des liaisons secondaires avec la matrice d’ARN, avec le ribosome ou avec l'enzyme qui attache l'acide aminé à son tARN spécifique. 1, record 15, French, - base%20rare
