The red turpentine beetle, Dendroctonus valens LeConte (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), has caused extensive mortality of Pinus tabuliformis Carrière in north central China. The electrophysiological and behavioral activities of the four bark beetle pheromones, frontalin, exo-brevicomin, trans-verbenol, and cis-verbenol, singly or in combination with host-produced kairomones, were tested...

For the establishment of the experimental system to judge easily the effect of anti-inflammatory drug, 67Ga-citrate was used. The weight of granuloma tissues induced by inflammable agent, turpentine oil, gradually increased and reached a maximum at 6 days after the administration of turpentine oil. Gallium-67 accumulation in the inflammatory lesions showed also a maximum at 6 days after that. B...

Duodenum, spleen and liver have a crucial role in iron balance on the whole organism and are the major sites of Ferroportin (FPN) expression. Specific regulations between FPN and hepcidin are responsible for changes seen in physiopathological conditions such as inflammation. We studied in vivo effects of turpentine oil-induced acute inflammation on FPN expression, and its relation with prohepci...

Motor bakar merupakan suatu mesin konversi energi yang berbagai lapisan masyarakat. Menyadari akan hal itu telah dilakukan penelitian dan pengembangan mengefesiensikan motor bakar, salah satunya adalah pencampuran bahan bensin dengan minyak turpentine. Hal tentunya membe...

A soap-water enema was given without effect. A dorsal slit was made and the meatus was exposed. A rubber catheter proving ineffective, a small-sized metal catheter was passed very slowly and carefully and an ordinary kidney tray full of urine was drawn off very slowly. Multiple incisions on the scrotum, penis and perineum were then made, and the catheter tied up. Turpentine stupes to the abdome...

Among the 7 types of natural solvent mixtures listed as third class solvents in the Ordinance on Prevention of Organic Solvent Poisoning, 5 types (134 samples) of petroleum distillate solvents (PDS) were collected from various parts of Japan in 1986 and 1987, and analyzed for n-hexane, benzene and 4 other aromatics by capillary gaschromatography. In addition, 3 samples of turpentine oil, 1 samp...
