The treatment of tuberculous meningitis is frequently hindered by the formation of exudate within the cerebrospinal spaces. This exudate may obstruct the cerebrospinal circulation and give rise to the complications of subtentorial, basal cistern, and spinal block. Furthermore, the presence of exudate predisposes to the occurrence of tuberculous arteritis, which is responsible for the cerebral a...

Electrophoretic mobilities of antibody preparations isolated from type specific antipneumococcus horse and rabbit sera, measured over a range of pH values, show that these preparations are distinctly different from normal serum proteins in their electrochemical properties.

Fucan was first isolated by Kylin from brown seaweed and named fucoidin by him (1). More recently fucan was isolated by Percival and Ross (2) from several Phaeophyceae. They considered it to be a polymeric salt of fucose monosulfate. However, their most highly purified preparation still contained approximately 5.6% sugars other than L-fucose and 3.3 ‘% uranic acid. A branched structure was sugg...
