A case of heterotopic pancreas in lymph node.

A case of pancreatic heterotopia in a lymph node is described. Small pieces of pancreatic tissue were found incidentally in four lymph nodes located around the common hepatic artery in a 65-year-old man. Both exo- and endocrine elements of the pancreas, together with ductal structures were found to constitute the heterotopic tissue. No authentic case of heterotopic pancreas in lymph nodes has been previously reported in the literature.

Fate of parathion in artificially fortified grape juice processed into wine.

"Semellon" grape juice fortified with a high level of 25 ppm parathion was fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus. After 12 days inte parathion levels in the wine and lees were 10.3 and 156 ppm, respectively; the paraoxon, aminoparathion, and p-nitrophenol levels in the wine were 0.16, 0.20, and 4.5 ppm, respectively, and in the lees were 0.04, 3.1 and 10 ppm, respectively. Thus, hydrolysis of parathion to p-nitrophenol and parathion sorption to sedimented particulate matter were important pathways for parathion residue reduction in the wine. The 56-day-old finished wine just prior to bottling contained 8.8 ppm parathion, 0.04 ppm paraoxon, 0.21 ppm aminoparathion, and 3.0 ppm p-nitrophenol. Two months storage at 24 degrees, 12 degrees, 4 degrees, and -20 degrees C had no effect on paraoxon and aminoparathion residue levels in the wine; parathion residues in wine decreased at all storage temperatures.

Penetration of soil dust through woven and nonwoven fabrics.

Several types of fabrics were laboratory-tested for their effectiveness in workers protection to pesticide-laden dust encountered in the agricultural environment. Of the applied less than 100 mesh dust, penetrations through knitted jersey and woven fabrics were greater than 87% and less than 5.8%, respectively. Treatment of woven fabrics with fluorocarbon polymers curtailed penetration by greater than 60%. Nonwoven fabrics allowed less than 0.5% dust penetration. Parathion mixed with 100-mesh sieved dust resulted in increasing "ppm" levels with decreasing particle size; extent of parathion conversion to paraoxon was independent of particle size for the sandy loam dust used.

Degradation of O, O-dimethyl S-[alpha-(carboethoxy)-benzyl] phosphorodithioate (phenthoate) in soil.

The degradation of ring-labeled 14C-phenthoate in a moist sandy loam and silty clay loam soil was studied. Phenthoate degradation was attributed to the action of extracellular heat-labile soil enzymes which converted to its carbon ester hydrolysis product, phenthoate acid. Thus, rate of phenthoate degradation was greatly retarded in autoclaved soil, but was equally rapid in nonsterile soil under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Degradation was also rapid even at a soil treatment of 100 ppm. Phenthoate acid was extensively degraded to 14CO2 by soil organisms under aerobic conditions, but due to unfavorable factors, degraded only by slow first-order kinetics under anaerobic conditions and at the 100 ppm fortification level under aerobic conditions. Phenthoate and phenthoate acid were confirmed as the principal soil components by isolation and identification by IR and NMR data.

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of acetyl-Clx (x = 0,1,2 or 3) and nitroso derivatives of carbaryl and three possible metabolites.

Acetyl-Clx (x = 0,1,2 or 3) and nitroso derivatives of carbaryl, 1-naphthol. 5-hydroxycarbaryl, and 1,5-naphthalenediol were synthesized. Compounds were characterized by infrared, mass, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. N-chloroacetylation (Cl = 0,1,2, or 3) of carbaryl was readily accomplished through the pyridine-catalyzed reaction of carbaryl with the appropriate acid chlorides. Trichloroacetylation was also possible through the pyridine-catalyzed reaction with the anhydride. N-nitrosation could also be done readily. N-nitroso- and N-trichloroacetyl carbaryl underwent decomposition to carbaryl on exposure to atmosphere moisture and could be maintained in the pure state only with difficulty. The other derivatives were stable under normal storage conditions.
