    Notes: Samples of maize seed were obtained from countries in Central America, Africa and Asia and assessed for fungal infection. Fusarium spp. were the largest single group of fungi present, and from these Fusarium moniliforme was the species most frequently isolated. Other fungi, including Stenocarpella (Diplodia) maydis, S. macrospora and Acremonium strictum, were also present in significant numbers. Isolates of F. moniliforme were characterized for mating populations, using RAPDs, and a number of isolates, taken at random from those assigned to specific mating groups, were also confirmed by crossing. Isolates were also characterized for fusaric acid production and significant differences in fusaric acid production were detected between isolates from different countries and regions within countries. A detailed analysis of isolates from one country, Kenya, was undertaken. The importance of the pathogens is discussed in relation to human, animal and seed health and quarantine regulations, and plant breeding objectives.

    Notes: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by a progressive obliterating fibrosis of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. The pathogenesis of PSC is poorly understood but it is thought to be an immune-mediated disease. The optimal therapy which successfully improves symptoms, delays progression towards liver failure and transplantation and prevents the onset of cholangiocarcinoma remains elusive. Although current treatments are used to manage cholestasis and its consequences and some of the more general complications of the disease, none of the current therapeutic agents have been shown to retard and reverse the rate of disease progression. The role of cupruretics, corticosteroids, methotrexate, anti-fibrogenic agents and ursodeoxycholic acid in the treatment of PSC is reviewed. Orthotopic liver transplantation remains the only therapeutic option for advanced PSC but the timing of transplantation remains controversial and the possibility of recurrence of the disease in the graft is increasingly recognised. It is likely that greater insight into the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in PSC will allow therapy to be targetted more specifically at the biliary epithelium.

    Notes: Abstract Grasshoppers, Schistocerca americana, reared from hatching on artificial diet had fewer sensilla on the antennae in the final larval stage than insects reared on lettuce. This was true of basiconic and coeloconic sensilla (presumed olfactory) and trichoid sensilla (presumed gustatory). The degree of difference varied along the antenna and with sensillum type. Adding salicin to the diet restored the numbers of all types of sensillum to levels equal to, or approaching, those in lettuce-fed insects. The addition of some volatile compounds – carvone (monoterpene), chalcone (flavonoid), citral (monoterpene) and guaiacol (phenolic) – resulted in slight increases in number, but coumarin (phenylpropanoid) had no effect. None of the compounds, either singly or in combination, produced more sensilla than were present in plant-fed insects.

    Notes: Abstract. The neutron deficient 199At nucleus has been studied in the 175Lu+28Si reaction at Eb= 141 MeV. In order to select events of interest in the presence of the very strong background caused by fission, γ-rays have been detected in coincidence with recoiling evaporation residues. The excited states of 199At observed for the first time may indicate that this nucleus is deformed.

    Notes: Abstract: A series of new strongly coupled high-K, multi-quasiparticle structures have been observed in the light erbium transitional nuclei, 159Er and 160Er. The interpretation of these bands is discussed within the framework of the cranked shell model. These sequences, when taken together with the existing quasiparticle excitations, form a near complete set of low-lying, multi-quasiparticle structures on which a coherent series of aligned angular momentum, band crossing and blocking arguments can be based. The measured B(M1)/B(E2) ratios are compared with geometrical calculations to test the proposed configuration assignments.

    Notes: Abstract The absorption of nonheme59ferric chloride from a test meal was measured, using a whole-body counter, in 34 alcoholics with liver disease of varying severity, 30 of whom had normal hemoglobin values and four of whom were anemic. The results were compared with those obtained in five patients with iron-deficient anemia and nine healthy control subjects. There were no significant differences in mean percentage iron absorption (±sem) in the nonanemic alcoholic patients with fatty liver (14.6±3.7), alcoholic hepatitis (18.6±5.7), or cirrhosis (21.1±3.5) when compared with control subjects (22.0±2.5). Significantly increased mean percentage iron absorptions were seen, however, in the patients with iron-deficient anemia (64.8±5.6;P〈0.0001) and the alcoholics with anemia (60.7±7.8;P〈0.0001). There was an inverse relationship between iron absorption and serum ferritin concentration in the nonanemic alcoholics (r=−0.37;P〈0.025) but no correlation between iron absorption and liver iron concentration. The addition of absolute alcohol (0.5 g/kg body weight) to the test meal resulted in an increase in mean percentage iron absorption in eight control subjects (21.6±1.6 to 29.0±6.1) and in ten nonanemic alcoholics (15.8±3.2 to 20.0±3.8), although these differences did not achieve significance. Similarly when intravenous alcohol was given to four control subjects at the time of the test meal, iron absorption increased in all four so that the mean percentage iron absorption increased, although not significantly, from 17.6±2.7 to 39.3±9.5. Iron absorption in alcoholics does not differ significantly from normal. While the increased liver iron concentrations seen in approximately one third of alcoholics cannot be attributed to an increase in iron absorption as a result of chronic alcohol ingestion, further studies are needed to elucidate the acute effects of alcohol on iron absorption.
