Molecular cloning of a rat chromosome putative recombinogenic sequence homologous to the hepatitis B virus encapsidation signal.

Previously, we reported that a 61-bp subgenomic HBV DNA sequence (designated as 15AB, nt 1855-1915) is a hot spot for genomic recombination and that a cellular protein binding to 15AB may be the putative recombinogenic protein. In the present study, we established the existence of a 15AB-like sequence in human and rat chromosomal DNA by Southern blot analysis. The 15AB-like sequence isolated from the rat chromosome demonstrated a 80.9% identity with 5'-CCAAGCTGTGCCTTGGGTGGC-3', at 1872-1892 of the hepatitis B virus genome, thought to be the essential region for recombination. Interestingly, this 15AB-like sequence also contained the pentanucleotide motifs GCTGG and CCAGC as an inverted repeat, part of the chi known hot spot for recombination in Escherichia coli. Importantly, a portion of the 15AB-like sequence is homologous (82.1%, 23/28 bp) to break point clusters of the human promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene, characterized by a translocation [t(15;17)], and to rearranged mouse DNA for the immunoglobulin kappa light chain. Moreover, 15AB and 15AB-like sequences have striking homologies (12/15 = 80.0% and 13/15 = 86.7%, respectively) to the consensus sequence for topoisomerase II. Our present results suggest that this 15AB-like sequence in the rat genome might be a recombinogenic candidate triggering genomic instability in carcinogenesis.

El género Uralichas Delgado, 1892 (Trilobita, Lichaida) en el Ordovícico de la Península Ibérica

Se revisan los trilobites Lichaida procedentes de los materiales lutíticos de las «Capas con Tristani» del Macizo Hespérico, encontrados en 20 localidades de la zona Centroibérica de edad comprendida entre el Llanvirn Inferior y el Dobrotiviense (Llandeilo) Superior. Todos los hallazgos corresponden al género Uralichas DELGADO, 1892, que se encuentra representado por dos formas: U. gutierrezi n. sp. (Llanvirn Inferior de los Montes de Toledo-Villuercas), y U. hispanicus (VERNEUIL y BARRANDE, 1856), conocido en materiales más modernos (Llanvirn Superior-Dobrotiviense Superior) del área ibero-armoricana. Esta segunda especie es la más moderna del género, y al mismo tiempo representa el trilobites más grande conocido (66 cm. de longitud). Igualmente, se ha podido demostrar la prioridad nomenclatural de U. hispanicus (VERNEUIL y BARRANDE,, 1856), sobre U. ribeiroi DELGADO, 1892; y la revisión de los representantes del género en el SO de Europa ha aportado otra posible nueva especie [U. heberti (ROUAULT, 1849) sensu RACHEBOEUF, 1969]. El material tipo del auténtico U.? heberti corresponde a un lichaido indeterminable, que proponemos restringir al único ejemplar figurado por ROUAULT.

Handing Down and Adaption: The Construction of the Material World of Health Care Technology in Spain (1855-1955)

This historical study uses qualitative methods to analyze and describe the components of the material world of nursing care in Spain between 1855 and 1955 based on the analysis of eight nurse training manuals. A total of 360 objects and 45 procedures were recorded. Manual analysis was carried out concurrently with data collection based on the Grounded Theory approach. Findings show that the material world of health care was composed of objects that were handed down by the medical profession to health care professionals and adapted objects, improvised mainly out of everyday household items. While the handing down of medical tools and instruments could be said to be a theoretical and technical achievement, it is not clear whether it was also a scientific accomplishment. The improvisation of objects out of everyday household items promoted by the manuals highlights the artisan-like and ingenious nature of nursing practice, which should be explored further in future studies to provide a greater understanding and promote the recognition of these objects as a health care technology.

Catharine Waugh McCullouch papers in the Mary Earhart Dillon collection, 1869-1945

Collection primarily documents McCulloch's research on women's legal status, and her work with the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and the League of Women Voters. There is also documentation of women in the legal profession, of McCulloch's friendships with the other women suffragists and lawyers, and some biographical material. The papers contain little information about her family or social life.
