A nuclear cap binding protein complex involved in pre-mRNA splicing.

A cap-binding protein complex (CBC) present in the nuclei of HeLa cells has been characterized. Purified CBC consists of two previously identified proteins, CBP80 and CBP20. These proteins are shown to cofractionate to apparent homogeneity and to be coimmunoprecipitable with anti-CBP80 antibodies.

Vratizolin in treatment of mouth and ear herpetic infections: comparison with conventional therapy.

Vratizolin is a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug registered for use on humans in Poland. Published and unpublished data on Vratizolin showed that it has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antimycotic, analgesic and immunomodulating activities. The purpose of these randomized, parallel-group studies was to compare Vratizolin with other standard drugs, used for the treatment of mouth and ear infections.

Etude comparative de la densite de groupes de poissons cavernicoles et epiges (characidae, cyprinidae, clariidae).

The group density of four species of cave fishes (Caecobarbus geertsi, Barbopsis devecchii, Astyanax gen. and Uegitglanis zammaranoi) and of two taxonomically related epigean species (Barbus conchonius and Hyphessobricon scholzei) was measured tridimensionally in an experimental aquarium, using a video recorder and a mirror inclined at 45° placed on top of the aquarium. The experiments were conducted in dim red light.

Cardiovascular effects of Althesin. Changes in systolic time intervals and peripheral tissue blood flow.

Systolic time intervals were studied and peripheral blood flow measurements made in twelve healthy patients before and after intravenous induction of anaesthesia with Althesin 0.05 ml per kg. The changes in systolic time intervals observed were considered to reflect the cardio-depressive properties of the drug.
