    Notes: Summary The CT appearances of 13 cases of pathologically proven aspergillosis involving paranasal sinuses were reviewed. Symptoms included rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, headache, facial pain and foul smell from the nose. At operation, these lesions appeared yellowish, brownish, grey or black in colour, and contained dirty or muddy material. Microscopic examination of the tissue removed showed anAspergillus ball with chronic inflammation but without invasion of the nasal or sinus mucosa in 6 cases, and tissue invasion with necrosis and inflammation in 7. The structures involved, in order of frequency, were: maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, ethmoid sinus, orbit and cavernous sinus. The orbit was involved in 2 cases, therefore categorized as invasive; the other 11 cases were non-invasive as judged by CT. Calcification was seen in the lesions of 9 cases. In most cases the adjacent bony structures showed areas of erosion and sclerosis. Aspergillosis should be suspected in the presence of a mass in the paranasal sinuses or nasal cavity with calcification within it, which may not appear solid or dense and is separate from the walls of the sinus.

    Notes: Abstract Mature leaves of variety SE014 of Trifolium subterraneum are resistant to the redlegged earth mite (Halotydeus destructor). Compounds with feeding deterrent activity present in the leaves were isolated and identified by using a membrane bioassay technique. The free isoflavones, formononetin, genistein, and biochanin A, their corresponding 7-O-glucosides, and biochanin A 7-O-glucoside-6″-O-malonate and genistein 7-O-glucoside-6″-O-malonate, were active. In addition, the biosynthetic precursors of formononetin and genistein, 2,5,7-trihydroxy-4′-methoxyisoflavanol and 2,5,7,4′-tetrahydroxyisoflavanol, also were deterrent to the redlegged mites. The relative activity of these compounds was determined and some structure-activity correlations are noted. The constitutive defense mechanism that contributes to the resistance of subclover trifoliates to the mite contrasts with the induced chemical mechanism previously found for subterranean clover cotyledons.

    Notes: Abstract The extracts, obtained with methanol from crushed trifoliates and from the surface layer of the trifoliates, contained isoflavones in both the free and bound forms as the major components, compounds known to exhibit feeding deterrence towards the redlegged earth mite. The levels of these compounds were quantified and showed considerable variation in extracts of one susceptible variety and four varieties with differing levels of resistance. The relative resistance of the five varieties established from field observations was compared with the amounts of isoflavone derivatives obtained in the two extracts. A better ranking of resistance was found with levels of isoflavones on the leaf surface than with the total amount of isoflavones in the trifoliates. These results suggest a simple method for determining the relative resistance of subterranean clover to the mite.
