In this study, anion-exchange chromatography was used to purify factor VII and factor IX from prothrombin complex (PPSB), which contains coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. For this purpose, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B gel , Pharmacia column XK-26 , high flow rate and two stepwise gradients with phosphate citrate buffer were used. The yield of the two lyophylized products, factor VII and factor...

Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

In order to determine the incidence of buffaloes on enteric CH4 emissions, information about animal production and farm management was analyzed and the CH4 emission factor estimated using the IPCC Tier 2 model. CH4 emission factor for the category of buffalo cattle and buffalo bulls was estimated for the period 2000-2007, in Italy, Europe and worldwide. During 2007, the CH4 emission factor for ...

resistance to thyroid hormone is an uncommon condition. we report the clinical and laboratory findings of a case with both resistance to thyroid hormone and, a reduced capacity to produce and respond to thyroid hormone. rth is a disorder characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormones, state of non-suppressed pituitary tsh secretion and refractoriness to hormone action in peripheral tiss...

this review summarizes current data on the pathomechanisms and new genetic findings of combined factor v and viii deficiency (cf5f8d). congenital haemorrhagic disorders characterized by deficiency of two clotting factors comprise an interesting group. among dual coagulation disorders, cf5f8d is the most common type. for the first time combined factor v and viii deficiency (f5f8d) was reported b...
