A “middle phase” microemulsion, which bicontinuously composed of saline and toluene microphases, with sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and n-butanol was electrochemically characterized. When electrochemistry was performed in the “middle phase” microemulsion, reversible redox peaks of the Fe(CN)6 ion in the micro water phase and the ferrocene in the micro toluene phase could be observed simultaneously, although the electrolyte was present only in the water phase.

Editor,—We report five cases of thelaziasis, including a rare case of infection of a hospital inpatient. Thelaziasis is a nematode infection of ocular tissue that is caused by Thelazia callipaeda , which is found in China, India, Thailand, Korea, and Japan. This parasite has been identified in the conjunctival sac, and lacrimal gland and canal of dogs, cats, cows, badgers, rabbits, foxes, and monkeys in Asia.1 Thelaziasis results when flies ingest embryonated eggs in the ocular tissue of an infected host; the eggs develop into larvae and are deposited onto the conjunctiva of a new host. Drosophilae—namely, Amioto okadai , A magna , …
