are important factors in the elicitation of contact dermatitis. Our current data show that patients with a history of using temporary black henna tattoos are often highly sensitized to PPD after exposure to such high concentrations and require only very low concentrations of PPD for elicitation of an allergic response. As the current practice of using PPD 1% pet. often results in unacceptably s...

Lawsonia inermis L., or henna leaves, are usually used to treat wounds on the skin. contain naphthoquinones, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. The antibacterial activity of L. leaf extract in various solvents has been extensively studied. However, which component is responsible for still unknown.

We report a new deltatheroidan mammal from the Upper Cretaceous of Henna, China. The new taxon, Lotheridium mengi, is based on a nearly complete skull and associated lower jaws with full adult dentition. Deltatheroidans are known mostly from fragmentary specimens from Asia and North America. Previous views on deltatheroidan relationships were diverse, but recent studies favored their metatheria...

An unknown fluorescent metabolite has been isolated from heads of eye-color mutants of Drosophila melanogaster. Only a few mutations cause it to accumulate, uiz. cardinal (cd), dark red brown (drb), Henna-recessive (Hn’), purple (pr), Punch2 (Pu’), Punch-Grape (Puff’), and scarlet (st). After purification by ion-exchange chromatography, the spectroscopic, chemical, and enzymatic analyses reveal...
