    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 Ethyl nicotinate was found to be a potent attractant forThrips obscuratus in peaches and apricots. The male-to-female ratio in traps was 1∶8. The chemical was more attractive than ripe fruit, with peak catches at harvest. Season-long trapping showed the efficiency of the chemical compared to unbaited traps. The chemical remained attractive for at least 2 weeks when 50 μl were placed in open 2-ml vial caps. Various pyralids, geometrids (Lepidoptera), and chironomids (Diptera) were also attracted in low numbers to ethyl nicotinate.

    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 Total ferritin concentration was measured in sera of 30 patients with primary liver cell cancer (PLCC) and 33 patients with cirrhosis and compared with serum alpha-fetoprotein levels as a diagnostic marker of PLCC. Serum ferritin concentration was raised in 19 patients (63%) with PLCC and 11 patients (33%) with cirrhosis. The median level was significantly higher (P〈0.001) in the PLCC group (560 μg/liter) than in the cirrhotic group (137 μg/liter), although there was considerable overlap. Serum ferritin was posititively correlated with serum aminotransferase levels in the cirrhotic patients (r=0.53,P〈0.001), reflecting hepatic necrosis, but not in the PLCC patients. The concentration of ferritin binding to concanavalin A was measured in the sera of patients with elevated total serum ferritin. Although the proportion of bound ferritin was decreased in the majority of PLCC sera compared to controls (P〈0.001), there was overlap with the cirrhotic group, making it unlikely that this assay is useful in distinguishing a tumor-specific isoferritin. Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were elevated in 21 patients (70%) with PLCC and proved to be a highly sensitive and specific test for PLCC. There was no relationship between the alpha-fetoprotein and serum ferritin concentrations. Serum ferritin is inferior to alpha-fetoprotein as an initial screening test for PLCC, but in alpha-fetoprotein-negative patients serum ferritin may have a role in monitoring therapy. Patients with cirrhosis with normal serum alpha-fetoprotein and ferritin concentrations are very unlikely to have PLCC.

    Notes: Abstract Liver iron concentrations were determined in 60 alcoholics with liver disease of varying severity, 15 patients with untreated idiopathic hemochromatosis, and 16 control subjects with biliary tract disease. Mean liver iron concentrations (μg/100 mg dry weight) were significantly greater in the alcoholics (156.4±7.8 (sem);P〈0.05) and in patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis (2094.5±230.7;P〈0.01) than in control subjects (53.0±7.0). Liver iron concentrations of 〉140 μg/100 mg were found in 17 alcoholics (29%) and in all 15 patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis. Liver iron concentrations 〉1000 μg/100 mg were found in all patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis but in none of the alcoholics. In the alcoholics no relationship existed between liver iron concentrations and the amount of alcohol consumed daily, the length of the drinking history, the amount of beverage iron consumed daily, or the severity of the liver disease. Serum ferritin concentrations reflected iron stores in patients with hemochromatosis and in alcoholics with minimal liver disease. However, in alcoholics with significant liver disease serum ferritin concentrations did not reflect iron stores accurately, although with normal values iron overload is unlikely. Serum iron concentration and percentage saturation of total iron-binding capacity were of little value in assessing iron status in either alcoholics or patients with hemochromatosis. Measurement of the liver iron concentration clearly differentiates between alcoholics with significant siderosis and patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis.
