Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by many inflammatory cells [1]. Asthma is a disease in which inflammation plays an important role. Nitric oxide can easily be measured in the exhaled air of asthmatics and is used in research settings as a marker for inflammation [2]. Several studies, starting with ALVING et al. [3] in 1993, have shown increased amounts of NO in the exhaled air of asthmatic patient...

Heinmets, Taylor, and Lehman (1954) treated a suspension of cells of Escherichia coli strain B/r with disifectant and found that after treatment none or only a few viable organisms were present. However, when the liquid (containing the cells which had been exposed to the disinfectant) was mixed with a solution of a metabolite in phosphate buffer and incubated overnight at 37 C, a large number o...

Formaldehyde is one of the most commonly used of soil disinfectants. Its efficacy against fungi in the soil is well established, but it has at least two faults. The cost of the treatment is relatively high and the time which must be allowed to elapse between treatment and seeding, if the treatment is not to injure germination, is sometimes objectionable. The principal object of the work here de...
