The amino acid sequence of the nonthrombin half of human prothrombin is presented. Prothrombin fragment 1 has 155 amino acid residues as compared with 156 for the bovine equivalent. Ten gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues are at the same location in each species. Human prothrombin fragment 2 contains 118 amino acid residues, as does the similar bovine fragment. Comparing bovine and human prothr...

Reconstructive microsurgery is performed to reattach, transfer, or transplant body tissues. Venous congestion is a complication that threatens the viability of the affected tissue and is often treated with medicinal leeches. Leech therapy has two phases: active bloodletting and passive bleeding from the leech wound after detachment, which can last for several hours. Unfortunately, the small blo...

The genus Papuanella (type species Geotrochus ogeramuensis Kobelt, 1914, by original designation) was established by Clench and Turner (1959: 5) for two species of land snails inhabiting the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Papuanella is currently recognized as a valid genus within the subfamily Papuininae of the family Camaenidae (Schileyko 2003). Distant (1914: 352) established Papuanel...

It is well known that proteins in the tegument (located between the viral capsid and envelope proteins) play critical roles in the assembly and budding of herpesviruses. Tegument proteins UL16 and UL11 of herpes simplex virus (HSV) are conserved among all the Herpesviridae. Although these proteins directly interact in vitro, UL16 was found to colocalize poorly with UL11 in cotransfected cells. ...

This book concerns the review of both the history of speleology in southern Spain and the invertebrate fauna of Jaen province within two parts: (1) ‘Historia de la Espeleología en Andalucía’; and (2) ‘Medio subterráneo y organismos hipogeos’. First contributions were carried out very early in the 20th century by Abbé Henri Breuil, Pierre-Jules Rambur, Lucas von Heyden, and Georg Dieck. However,...
