    Notes: The sensitivity of a bioassay in detecting soil inoculum of Colletotrichum coccodes and Helminthosporium solani was examined using potato minitubers and microplants. Tests were conducted on soils which were collected from fields in which the interval after a previous potato crop differed, and which were also artificially infested with conidia or microsclerotia. For C. coccodes, determining plant infection based on the occurrence of infected roots after 9–12 weeks was a sensitive method for detecting and quantifying the amount of inoculum in soil. Infestations of less than 0·4 microsclerotia per g soil were detected in artificially infested soils. A semiselective medium, developed for isolating C. gloeosporioides from pepper, detected soil infestations by C. coccodes as low as nine conidia or one microsclerotium per g soil in artificially infested soil. For H. solani, infection on minitubers was a sensitive measure, with soil inoculum of fewer than 10 conidia per g soil being detected. Soil infestation could be quantified by assessing the percentage surface area of minitubers covered by sporulating lesions, which was strongly related to the amount of soil infestation. The results of these bioassay tests were compared with published results for real-time quantitative PCR assays on the same soils. The two methods were in good agreement in artificially infested soils, but the bioassay appeared to be more sensitive with naturally infested soils.

    Cadmium leaching from some New Zealand pasture soils (2003)

    Notes: Cadmium (Cd) inputs and losses from agricultural soils are of great importance because of the potential adverse effects Cd can pose to food quality, soil health and the environment in general. One important pathway for Cd losses from soil systems is by leaching. We investigated loss of Cd from a range of contrasting New Zealand pasture soils that had received Cd predominantly from repeated applications of phosphate fertilizer. Annual leaching losses of Cd ranged between 0.27 and 0.86 g ha–l, which are less than most losses recorded elsewhere. These losses equate to between 5 and 15% of the Cd added to soil through a typical annual application of single superphosphate, which in New Zealand contains on average 280 mg Cd kg−1 P. It appears that Cd added to soil from phosphate fertilizer is fairly immobile and Cd tends to accumulate in the topsoil. The pH of the leachate and the total volume of drainage to some extent control the amount of Cd leached. Additional factors, such as the soil sorption capacity, are also important in controlling Cd movement in these pasture soils. The prediction of the amount of Cd leached using the measured concentrations of Cd in the soil solution and rainfall data resulted in an overestimation of Cd losses. Cadmium concentrations in drainage water are substantially less than the current maximum acceptable value of 3 µg l−1 for drinking water in New Zealand set by the Ministry of Health.

    C-1 esterase inhibitor dysfunction localised to the periodontal tissues: clues to the role of stress in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis? (2003)

    Notes: Background: C1-esterase inhibitor (C1eIn) is an important modulator of complement activation via the classical pathway. Deficiencies or dysfunction involving this inhibitor underlie the condition of angioneurotic oedema.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim: The purpose of this report is to describe a female patient who presented at the age of 24 years with an apparently aggressive form of periodontitis and severe oedema, localised to the free gingival tissues. After 21 years of repeated surgical reduction of the gingiva, a diagnosis of C1eIn dysfunction was made.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods: Exhaustive serological investigations were performed along with histopathology.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results: All investigations were unremarkable, until the function of the C1eIn molecule was investigated. These demonstrated a functional activity of only 29% and a raised C1q at 157 mg/l. Subsequent repeated investigation with careful specimen handling demonstrated undetectable levels of C1eIn and normal C1q. A diagnosis of C1eIn dysfunction was made, although at present it is unclear whether this represents an unusual variant of hereditary dysfunctional C1eIn deficiency. The patient was managed by various means, including steriodal and non-steroidal drugs, the latter forming part of her maintenance regime.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case of angio-oedema localised to the free gingiva. The role of stress in the acute exacerbations of oedema and bone loss is discussed along with the diagnostic pitfalls associated with this case.
