as previously believed. B. Tissue forms represent the intermediate stage into which the sporozoites develop and from which the asexual blood forms which produce fever arise. The sporozoites after being introduced into human body by mosquito first grow and multiply in the endothelial tissues. Such tissue forms have been demonstrated by some German workers, and James and Tate in bird malaria. Ver...

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) which contain diverse organic groups, such as antibiotics, hormones, antimicrobial agents, synthetic musks, etc., have raised significant concerns in recently years for their persistent input and potential threat to ecological environment and human health. China is a large country with high production and consumption of PPCPs for its economic d...

As long ago as the sixteenth century, Paracelsus recognized that 'the dose makes the poison'. Indeed, environmental concentrations of pharmaceuticals excreted by humans are limited, most importantly because a defined dose is given to just a fraction of the population. By contrast, recent studies have identified direct emission from drug manufacturing as a source of much higher environmental dis...

Reversion of L forms to the normal bacterial state has been described in general terms in a variety of bacterial cell-L-form systems (Dienes and Weinberger, 1951). The relatively large 3B type L colony formed on penicillin-containing medium is composed entirely of spherical bodies of varying sizes (2 to 10 ,u in diameter) that appear to propagate by a budding process. In contrast, 3A type L for...
