    Notes: Abstract The comparative symbiotic properties of Rhizobium spp. and Bradyrhizobium spp. strains infecting pigeon pea were evaluated. Bradyrhizobium strains (Cajanus) were found to be superior to Rhizobium strains (Cajanus) and the superiority was ascertained to be due to the higher enzyme activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in comparison to Rhizobium spp. strains. Moreover, metabolic superiority or rapid growth rate does not necessarily correlate with symbiotic effectiveness. The symbiotic performance of isolates varied with the host cultivar. The dry matter accumulation could be correlated with the total acetylene reduction activities rather than nodule number or nodule fresh weight per plant.

    Notes: Abstract PVC dust, following a single intratracheal instillation (25 mg/rat), was substantially cleared through the lymphatic circulation and progressively accumulated in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) in a time-dependent manner for up to 1 year. The tissue response in TBLN during 60–270 days post-instillation of PVC dust was characterized by progressive increase in total organ fresh weight, dry weight, DNA, RNA and protein contents, concurrent with the proliferation of macrophages and hyperplasia of reticular cells. Active phagocytosis and enhanced hydrolytic activity in TBLN was evident around 270 days post-instillation by the appearance of PVC-laden macrophages near and within the dust foci, and increased activity of acid phosphatase, DNAse, RNAse and β-glucuronidase. PVC dust caused degeneration of macrophages, and consequent release of hydrolytic enzymes resulted in limited cytotoxicity without inducing reticulination and fibrosis in the TBLN. The histology and clinical biochemistry of liver, kidney, spleen and serum were not altered and there were no detectable PVC particles in these tissues at up to 365 days. It is therefore concluded that lymphatic clearance of intratracheally instilled PVC dust results in its accumulation and mild foreign body reaction in TBLN which is non-fibrogenic at up to 365 days post-instillation.

    Notes: Summary The fibrogenic response of amosite variety of asbestos was studied in lungs of guinea pigs over a period of 300 days. Histologically there was marked reticulin fibrosis but the maturation into collagen was slow. Biochemical estimation revealed significant increase of hydroxyproline and glycosamine contents. Total lung protein was also found to be higher in the amosite treated animals reaching maximum at 90 days. The significance of these findings have been discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. An unexpected mortality of more than 300 cattle was investigated near a metal recovery factory located in a rural area of the Thane district of India. The factory was engaged in reclaiming lead, aluminium, tin, and zinc from discarded lead storage batteries and soft drink cans. The environmental samples (soil, leaves, grass, slag, water, and sediment), human blood and hair and animal samples (blood, urine, peritoneal fluid, liver, kidney, cow dung, ribs, and femur), collected for analysis revealed toxic levels of lead, cadmium, and chromium. Clinical examination of factory workers and school children revealed cough, fever, gastric problems, abdominal pain, skin lesions (scabies), and blue line on gums. Histopathological examination of animal tissues revealed chronic pathology with lead inclusion bodies in hepatocytes and renal tubules. Based on environmental, clinical, analytical, and histopathological observations, the mortality has been attributed to toxic levels of metals in the body and the malnourished status of the animals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch intratracheale Applikation von Mangandioxid (50 mg/300 g Körpergewicht) wurde bei Meerschweinchen eine experimentelle Lymphadenopathie erzeugt und die histopathologischen Veränderungen in den tracheobronchialen Lymphknoten bis zu 180 Tagen beobachtet. Es wurde ein langsamer extrazellulärer Transport des Manganstaubes in die Lymphknoten gefunden, der in der Anfangsphase zu keinerlei signifikanten Reaktionen führte. In einer späteren Phase zeigten die Lymphknoten jedoch eine signifikante Zunahme in der Verteilungsdichte der Staubpartikel und Reaktionen wie Phagozytose, Degeneration staubbeladener Makrophagen, geringfügige Proliferation von Fibroblasten mit einer der Ablagerung von Staubpartikeln entsprechenden Reticulinose. Die Bedeutung dieser Beobachtungen wird unter dem Gesichtspunkt der chronischen Toxizität diskutiert.
    Notes: Abstract Experimental manganese lymphadenopathy was produced in guinea pigs by intratracheal inoculation of manganese dioxide (50 mg/300 g body weight) and histopathologic changes in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes were studied up to 180 days. There was slow extracellular transport of manganese dust into the nodes, which did not provoke any significant reaction at early periods. However, at later periods the nodes exhibited a significant increase in the density of dust particles and the reaction consisted of phagocytosis, degeneration of dust laden macrophages, slight proliferation of fibroblasts, together with some reticulinosis corresponding to deposits of dust particles. The significance of these findings have been discussed from the chronic toxicity viewpoint.

    Notes: Abstract The electric quadrupole moments of the 9/2− and 21/2− isomeric states of 173Ta at 165.8 keV and 1713.2 keV, respectively, were measured as Q(9/2−)=2.92(15) b and Q(21/2−)=6.23(18) b for the first time using the TDPAD technique. A 66 MeV pulsed 12C ion beam from the 15UD pelletron accelerator facility of the Nuclear Science Centre at New Delhi was used in the reaction 165Ho(12C, 4nγ)173Ta. The experimental values of equilibrium deformations β2(9/2−)=0.251(7) and β2(21/2−)=0.391(7) were extracted.

    Notes: Abstract Systematic DPAC measurements of the electric field gradient at Dy in very low concentration in pure Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er metals in the paramagnetic phase have shown for the first time the host associated aspherical 4f-shell effects. The results are compared with the presently available first-principles based calculations of the electric field gradient and crystalline electric field parameters of rare-earth ions in rare-earth metals and alloys. The observed 4f-spin relaxation time of Dy ion in rare-earth metals is of the order of 2 ps.

    Notes: Abstract The electric quadrupole moment of the 9/2− isomer in the171Ta nucleus, populated in the159Tb(16O,4nγ)171 Ta reaction, has been measured for the first time using the TDPAD technique. The measured value Q(9/2−)=3.09(19) b andB(M1)/B(E2) ratios, deduced from the existing γ-ray spectroscopic data, have been used to derive shape parameters for the πh11/2 band based on this isomer. The present results are consistent with a quadrupole deformationβ=0.22(1),γ=00±100.
