Blood specimens from 22 insulin dependent diabetic patient and 17 nontliabetic subject were collected im EDTA- tubes. Quantitation of Hb-Al was performed by Columne chromatography. The glycosylated hemoglobin component is increased in diabetic patient and found a significant correlation between Hb-Al concentration and blood glucose levels in all diabetic patients. The mean Hb-Al valve for diabetic patients is twice as the mean valve for nondiabetics. The second part of experiment consist of aging bloodEDTA in ambient temerature and a 4c cold room. A sample of each blood was analysed the following days for estimation of Hb-Al after 7 to 9 days and noticed adifferepe between the Hb-Al valves in two specimens and increase of Hb-Al in both samples but after aging forthermore about 19 days, the concentration of Hb-Al in blood kept in ambient temperature was three times more than in blood kept in cold room.

Effects o f s e l ected l ow l evel doses of y - Rad iation (100-400 K rad) on t he abi l ity o f toxin strain o f Asperg i l l us flavus t o survive and pr oduce a f latox in in c ul t ure med ium and p is tachio nuts hav e been s tudied . A reduction of 60 per c e nt in growth and spore production by Asperg i l l us flavus in c u l ture me di um was observed after treatment wi th 100 K rad of y - Radiation .
In spore inoculated pistachio nuts , 100 K rad o f y Radi a tion reduced the a f la toxin B l and G l nroduction by 75% aft er e i ght week s s t orage per iod . The afla toxin prod~ ction ability by Aspergillus f lavus on pistachio nuts was affectively eliminated by t he treatment o f spore inoculated pist achio nuts wi th 200 K rad of y-Radiation , although very l itt le growth coul d be detected after eight weeks ' storage of 40 0 K rad y-irradiated pistachio nuts. -
A case o f the electrical alternans of t he TU wave and peri odic nega t ive U wave associated with c l ini cal symptoms , e lectrocardi ographic a nd postmortem findi ng s o f Romano- Ward Syndrome has been pres ented. No e lec ~ r o l y te d ist urbance was found t o be r esponsible for t his exceptional l y rare situation . Changes i n A-V conduct i on and left bu n• d Ie branch block could be a t tributed to the d i f f use c or onary s clero sis and s ubs equent i schemia in the myocardial c onduction t.issues . The e lectrical alternans of t he U wave or TU complex of the e lectrocardiogram i s an exceeding ly r are s i t uation without any clearly known mechanism for i ts appea rance . A case of thi s phenome no~ i n as soc iation with RomanoWard Syndrome has been presented whe rein an abnorma l ity i n A-V conduction and left bund le branch block cou ld be encountered .
