marrow material taken during therapy, it will be possible to explore if these second cancers emerge before the initiation of thiopurine therapy.4 Second, if de Boer et al are correct in their hypothesis, we would expect a reduced level of DNA-6TGN incorporation in the HGPRT-deficient t-AML/MDS clones compared with the normal bone marrow cells when such cases occur during thiopurine therapy. Usi...

Note.?Single sores represent about 40 per cent of all cases. It is suggested that a single sore, naturally acquired, be allowed to run its course, if not on the face, and if protected from bites. The development of an active immunity from one infection with oriental sore is generally accepted. Inoculation with attenuated cultures of the parasite is being successfully carried out in some endemic...

Since an investigation of the various sugars present in winter pears was in progress at this station, it was thought desirable to determine in a preliminary way the variation in the sugar content of the various portions of the fruit, and from this information to decide as to the best method of taking samples of the pear. The effort was made to divide the fruit into natural regions on the basis ...

The treatment, however, which he recommends, na...

This study investigated the fumigant toxicity of oriental sweetgum (Liquidambar orientalis) and valerian (Valeriana wallichii) essential oils and their components against the Japanese termite (Reticulitermes speratus). The fumigant toxicity of oriental sweetgum and valerian oil differed significantly according to exposure time. Oriental sweetgum showed toxicity at short exposure times (2 days),...

The mechanism of Western medicine that is commonly used for pain relief is well-known. However, very little is known for oriental herbs, and even less is known for mixture of the two. We investigated the combinational effect of 3 kinds of oriental herbs, usually used for the control of headache, and acetaminophen to relieve headache in microglia cell line, BV2. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulat...

Two new species of the genus Spinolyprops Pic, 1917 (Tenebrionidae, subfamily Lagriinae Latreille, 1825) are described from Thailand and China (Spinolyprops cribricollissp. n., Spinolyprops thailandicussp. n.). The species characters within the genus are discussed, photographs of all seven Oriental species are added, a species key for the Oriental species is compiled, and a map with the distrib...
