The effects of elevated O 3 (O ) on photosynthetic characteristics urban trees were studied in an open-top air chamber. results showed that net rate ( P n), transpiration E t), stomatal conductance G s) and water use efficiency (WUE) different tree species decreased significantly with the increase concentration, while intercellular CO 2 (C i concentration increased concentration. Under concentr...

It has been known that human cytosol alcohol dehydrogenase (alcoho1:NAD' oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1), controlled by the ADHz locus, is polymorphic. Most Caucasians have enzyme Containing the usual PI subunit, while nearly 90% of Orientals have an enzyme containing the atypical / I 2 subunit. At physiological pH, the cytosol enzyme activity of atypical liver is much higher than that of typical l...

Introduction: Kimura’s disease (KD) is an allergic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology endemic in Orientals. Kimura’s disease was first mentioned by Kimm and Szeto in China in 1937. Kimura’s disease is commonly encountered in Asia and is mostly reported in Japan, China, Singapore and Honkong. However, only a few cases have been reported in the Indian subcontinent. Case Report: A case of K...

INTRODUCTION T HE DIEGO ( Di’ ) blood factor, first described by Levine,1’27 and Layrisse2’3 has been extensively studied.22#{176} It is serologically distinct from other known blood factors,3 does not appear to be linked to any of them1 and may represent a separate blood group system.”12 The factor is of anthropological interest because of its presence in most North and South American Indian t...

Serum haptoglobins have been found to be useful genetic markers. The distribution of the different haptoglobin genes was found to vary in different parts of the world (Giblett, I96I). Thus Orientals and Eskimos were found to have a high incidence of the gene Hp2 and Negroes a high incidence of Hp'. Caucasians in continental Europe, Australia, and the United States have revealed an intermediate ...
