    Notes: : Elver substitutes made from kamaboko-type fish gels have recently been introduced onto the market in Spain. Kamaboko is made by addition of 2.5 to 3.0% salt, and optionally other additives, to surimi (minced fish). The present study investigated the usefulness of microscopy techniques for characterizing the structure and composition of two elver substitutes of this type. Sensory and physicochemical analyses were also performed, with the aim of defining the organoleptic characteristics of these products. The results obtained indicate that microscopy techniques are useful for rapid identification of certain additives in products of this type. Furthermore, many of the between-brand differences in microscopic appearance showed clear correspondence with differences in physicochemical and sensory properties.

    Notes: Background: The identification of ‘unknown’ allergic sensitizations may determine the prognosis and treatment of patients with respiratory airway disease. Currently, the presence in homes of ‘exotic’ animals as pets is increasing. In this article the Siberian hamster or dwarf hamster (Phodopus sungorus) was identified as a new indoor source of aeroallergens and respiratory disease. Methods: The subjects were six outpatients who were treated for asthma and rhinitis. Siberian hamster hair extract was prepared with a standard wt/vol method, and patients were skin-prick tested with the extract. Serum-specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E against the Siberian hamster, common hamster (Cricetus cricetus) and golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) was determined. IgE-immunoblotting was also performed for all six sera. Specific bronchial challenge was carried out with the Siberian hamster extract. Results:  Skin prick tests (SPT) with the Siberian hamster extract, and specific IgE-antibodies against Siberian hamster, were strongly positive in all six patients. Determinations of specific IgE-antibodies against C. cricetus and M. auratus were negative in all patients. IgE-immunoblotting of the sera revealed two IgE-binding fractions (MW 18 and 32 kDa) in five of the six sera. Specific bronchial provocation tests resulted in early asthmatic responses in the two patients who were challenged. Conclusions: The present study reveals the Siberian hamster to be able to induce both sensitization and disease, and this species of hamster should be taken into consideration as a cause of respiratory disease in exposed subjects. A noteworthy finding was the lack of sensitization in our patients to common hamster allergens (M. auratus and C. cricetus) that are usually tested when hamster allergy is suspected.
