Recombinant thrombin (rThrombin) has been used topically as one component of fibrin sealant as the tissue adhesive. Recombinant prethrombin-2 is used as the precursor to generate rThrombin which is then activated by ecarin. Autoactivated thrombin (autoTrm) can be produced by altering four amino acids (EDGE) in prethrombin-2 thus obviate the use of ecarin and simplify the purification process. In this study, Pichia pastorisSMD1168 was used to producing autoTrm in flask culture. Influencing factors on P. pastorisSMD1168 culture in producing autoTRM were screened by Plackett-Burman (PB) design and the optimization of was carried out by Response Surface Methodology............

Authors	::	Ashutosh Pathak
Page No.	::	43-45

Lichen thallus, a consortium of mycobiont and photobiont, produces numerous secondary metabolites and zeorin is one of them. The antifungal activity of zeorin producing lichen extracts have provided the evidence for the current study. The present study was focused on the binding affinity and virtual docking of glucan transglycosylase (Gas2p). The structure of protein was downloaded from RSCB whereas the ligand file was downloaded from PubChem compound database. The docking was performed using AutoDock Vina and visualized by Chimera 1.11.2 whereas the active binding sites were evaluated by MetaPocket 2.0. The successful docked results of Gas2p with zeorin exhibited the potential of zeorin in the inhibition of glucan chain elongation of fungal cell wall via disturbing the hydrolysis and transglycosylation activity of glucan transglycosylase and proves its potential as candidate for future antifungal drug.

Page No.	::	46-51

Proteinaceous amylase inhibitors are present in plants which regulate the activity of amylases. An α- Amylase inhibitor was isolated and purified by conventional protein purification techniques (ammonium sulphate fractionation, Sephadex G-10, sephadex G-50 chromatography and HPLC) from Mucuna utilis seeds. Its molecular weight as determined by gel-permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-100 was found to be 15 kDa. The purified inhibitor was temperature stable and retained more than 75% activity at 65 °C. Inhibitor was found to have pH optima of 6.9. 100% Zone of inhibition was observed when the inhibitor was added on the plated organisms. The Mucuna utilis amylase inhibitor was found to inhibit the activity of human salivary α- amylase. Inhibitory activity of α-amylase inhibitor against mammalian amylases could suggest its potential in
treatment of diabetes and cure of nutritional problems, which result in obesity.

Heavy metals are stable and are determined as environmental contaminants since they cannot be degraded or destroyed, therefore they accumulate in the soils, water and sediments. Three water i.e., control water (Bore water), polluted and treated Hussainsagar lake water were collected from Hyderabad area which were analyzed to investigate the concentrationof heavy metals like Cr, Mn, Fe and Co. In the present study polluted Hussainsagar lake water was treated by using C.V. Technologyfrom 2012 to 2015. The results indicated that concentrations of heavy metals were very high in polluted Hussainsagar lake water compared to control and treated Hussainsagar lake water which were within the permissible levels. The treated Hussainsagar lake water showed concentration of all metals below detectable range except manganese.

Title	::	Assessment of Potential Carcinogenic Metals in Palm Wines of Northern Cross River State, Nigeria
Country	::	Nigeria
Authors	::	B. U. Ngang
Page No.	::	28-34

Palm wine samples collected from five major areas in Northern Cross River State, South-south Nigeria were assessed in triplicates for their contents of five carcinogenic metals including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), Ni (Ni) and lead (Pb) using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (FAAS) following a 2:5 HNO3/H2O2 mixture digestion according to standard procedure. The study was repeated in three consecutive years and in each case, the results were compared with WHO acceptable limits of the metals in drinks. The results revealed that As, Cd, Ni and Pb mean contents were significantly above WHO recommended limits at α (0.0 5) and υ (14) in the samples within the three years period of the study.............

Background: Post traumatic seizures has been described as a particularly heterogeneous condition, specifically because of the heterogenesity associated with TBI Epidemiological studies have found that PTE accounts for 10–20% of symptomatic epilepsy in the general population and 5% of all epilepsies Seizure activity in the early post-traumatic period after head injury may cause secondary brain damage. Prophylaxis for PTS refers to the practice of administering anti convulsants to the patients following head injury to prevent the occurrence of seizures. Aims: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of early posttraumatic seizures in TBI and effectiveness of sodium valproate in treating seizures..............

Title	::	Loss and Dilution Optimization of Valuable Minerals in Mining Complex Structured Limestone Deposits
Country	::	Russia
Authors	::	FOMIN S.I. || TRAN Dinh Bao
Page No.	::	42-46

The paper analyzes kinds of losses of basic valuable minerals in mining complex structured limestone deposits. Diagrams of loss of valuable deposits and the blend of waste rock are also made in mining bedding deposits. Technical and economic data explaining for the proper decrease of the loss show that raising the dilution or loss needs to base on the comparison of mining alternatives fulfilled in the contact area of waste rock and material. Norm of loss of valuable mineral is created to determine the technical and economic of each mining block using geological exploration documents. The criterion of maximum NPV of mined deposit should be used to determine the norm of loss of valuable mineral. In addition, the paper proposes a technology to ensure a proper use of mineral resource and to decrease the loss of valuable loss in mining complex structured
limestone deposits.
