Dangerous mycotoxins are naturally present in foods, feeds and our environment. They are pathologically classified as hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, vomitoxin and neuro-musculotoxin, some of which are potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic . Aflatoxin, for example, is the most potent hepatocarcinogen and mutagen among mycotoxins. Therefore, the contamination of mycotoxins should be minimized by designing a series of measures of prevention and control.

No single treatment against AIDS can save a patient. Our last report showed that vitamin A, vitamin E and beta-carotene were decreased while malondialdehyde (MDA) was increased. This report aims to evaluate biochemical and hematological parameters in HIV/AIDS patients in Chiang Mai, Thailand by holistic approaches. Sera from HIV/AIDS patients were examined for sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, total protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, AST, ALT, ALP, total/direct bilirubin, vitamin E, MDA, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), beta-carotene, complete blood cell counts, platelet count, CD4 count, prothrombin time, partial prothrombin time and soluble Fas (sFas). The results found that sFas levels in sera prior to holistic approach was not different from reference values and not significantly correlate with CD4 and absolute lymphocyte count. sFas could not serve as putative marker for CD4 destruction. After 3 months CD4 count, MDA, vitamin E and TAC did not change statistically. This approach had no effect on liver and kidney functions, red blood cell, white blood cell, platelet counts, and blood clotting factors. This presentation may be some alternative approaches to combat HIV infections and AIDS, leading to stabilize or extend survival time which should further be elucidated.

Tamarind seed coat is composed of polyphenols especially procyanidin oligomers. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of polyphenols extracted from tamarind seed coat on differential white blood cell counts of broilers maintained at high environmental temperature. Broilers were divided into 2 groups. In group 1, broilers were maintained in environmental temperature at 26±2 C throughout experimental period, and in group 2, broilers were maintained i n o environmental temperature at 38±2 C and received polyphenols i.e. 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg/kg o in diets. Differential white blood cell counts were investigated on days 1, 7, 14 and 21 of experimental period. The results revealed the following information: Lymphocyte and basophil levels of broilers maintained in the environmental temperature at 38±2 C and received polyphenols at 400 mg/kg in diet were increased o (p<0.05). On the other hand, the heterophil and monocyte levels of broilers maintained in the environmental temperature at 38±2 C and received polyphenols at 400 mg/kg in diet were decreased (p<0.05). This o occurrence indicated that polyphenols extracted from tamarind seed coat could reduce heat stress in broilers.

Growth was enhanced by as much as 65 %, respiration was not affected significantly except for a decrease in R. gracilis, transport of 6-dGlc was not affected while that of Aib was increased by up to 45 % in R. gracilis and up to 27 % in L. elonyisporus.

Twenty-five of these are considered endemic to the Oriental region, 17 of which are Thai endemics. Two species (Hemicypris exiqua Broodbakker, 1983, and Notodromas sinensis Neal & Zhao, 1991) are new records for the Oriental region, and four species (Cypretta seurati Gauthier, 1929, Chrissia ceylonica (Daday, 1898), Chrissia formosa (Klie, 1938), and Dolerocypris fasciata (O.F. Müller, 1776)) are new record for Thailand. The most diverse subfamily in Thailand is the Cypricercinae, with 22 species. The most diverse genera are Strandesia Stuhlmann, 1888 (eight species), followed by Pseudostrandesia Savatenalinton & Martens, 2009 (seven species) and Stenocypris Sars, 1889 (five species). Other enigmatic groups and new taxa occur in the checklist, but these need to be described elsewhere in the future. For example, several species of Cypridopsinae Kaufmann, 1900, Cyclocypridinae Kaufmann, 1900, Candoninae Kaufmann, 1900 and other groups await description. Considering regional distributions based on frequency of occurrences, rare species constitute a large fraction, whereas very common species are minor elements. Most of the records were reported from the Northern and Northeastern parts of Thailand. Sampled habitat types ranged from ponds, (oxbow) lakes, swamps, reservoirs, springs, canals, rivers, rice fields, waterfalls, and damp leaf litter. Most of the Thai ostracod fauna exists in a wide range of habitats. A brief discussion on the distribution of described species is included with the list. Additionally, in the present contribution, we describe two new species, Dolerocypris sisaketensis n. sp. and Hungarocypris suranareeae n. sp., from the Northeastern part of Thailand. The main character of Dolerocypris sisaketensis n. sp. is the presence of a spine on the postero-ventral part of the right valve; this feature sets it apart from other Dolerocypris species. Hungarocypris suranareeae n. sp. is the second species of this genus in Thailand and the third one in Southeast Asia. It is clearly distinguished from other Hungarocypris species by the serration on both valves. The genera Dolerocypris and Hungarocypris are briefly discussed and a key to the species of Hungarocypris is provided.

The toxin may also cause hepatoma and liver diseases in the Thais as well. It is, therefore, necessary to search for and to develop efficient technology to combat and control such dangerous mold and mycotoxins. This paper is a collection of our previous and present studies towards reduction of risk from aflatoxins in foods and feedstuffs. The investigation of mold and aflatoxin contamination in local foods and feedstuffs in Chiang Mai area was made. The inhibitory effect of garlic extract on growth of Aspergillus flavus and its aflatoxin production was demonstrated. Detoxification of aflatoxins by chemicals such as ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium benzoate was also shown. Preventions of toxigenic mold growth and its aflatoxin production by means of some food preservative were reported. Modifications of such effective chemicals were investigated for safety in future application.
