According to Haneda (1955), the centipede Orphaneus brevilabiatus is found widely in Micronesia, the East Indies, the Malay Peninsula, Indochina, Formosa and Okinawa. The centipedes (about 6 cm long) are often found in native houses, on the walls and inside furniture, and they secrete a greenish luminous slime when irritated. When exposed to a chloroform vapor, they discharge strikingly luminous slime from every segment of the body. 

Rice is one of the oldest food crops. Currently, it does not seem possible to determine the place of domestication, but it probably occurred in India or China. Its cultivation in India, Indochina, China, Indonesia, and East Africa is prehistoric. It is now distributed throughout the tropics and warm parts of temperate regions of the world. The temperate zone varieties were named japonica, and the tropical zone varieties indica. 

The information about usage of PCBs in Vietnam is still obscure. Statistical data showed that 27,000-30,000 tons of oils contaminated by PCBs were imported from former USSR, China, and Rumania (Sinh et al., 1999). In addition, electrical equipments like transformer containing PCBs were also imported from Australia until the mid-1980s (Kannan et al., 1995). Other possible source of PCBs in Vietnam could be the weapons which were extensively used during the Indochina War (Thao et al., 1993). Regarding dioxins, the main source in Vietnam in the past was the Agent...

Maximum density of the Garcinia species is seen in the north of the Malaysian Archipelago, with approximately 28 species in Malaysia, about 23 in Thailand, about 20 in Indonesia and 19 in the Philippines. Myanmar and Indochina have fewer species. The Malaysian distribution is linked to the 18 tropical species found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In other parts of India also, e.g. the north-east, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Western Ghats, the species are linked to the Malaysian distribution (Bin Osman and Rahman Milan, 2006). Table 19.1 shows the area and production of G. mangostana in major producing countries. 

According to the publication Der Heimkehrer,74 French officers and soldiers returning from Indochina stated that they could not understand what was happening at that time, 1 A years after the war, to the former members of the German occupation forces. They pointed out that incidents like Ora-dour take place in Indochina on a weekly basis, and must take place, in fact, for the sake of the protection of the French troops there. 

The activity of selected experimental agents against parasite clones of chloroquine-susceptible malaria strains, Sierra Leone, D6, and chloroquine-resistant malaria strain, Indochina, W2, was determined using the method of Desjardins (1). Testing results are provided in Table 2.

Berberine chloride was evaluated for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro (two clones of human malaria Plasmodium falciparum D-6 [Sierra Leone clone] and W-2 (Indochina clone) and Plasmodium berghei in vivo (mice). The alkaloid exhibited an antimalarial potency equivalent to that of quinine in vitro, but was inactive in vivo. The results were consistent with those of others who have found berberine to be a potent inhibitor in vitro of both nucleic acid and protein biosynthesis in P. falciparum, and have demonstrated a strong interaction of berberine with DNA. In addition, the lack of in vivo antimalarial activity in mice observed with berberine and other protoberberine alkaloids agrees with clinical reports that have claimed berberine to be inactive as an antimalarial drug [228].
