Reduction in enamel dissolution by liquorice and glycyrrhizinic acid.

Liquorice extracts and confections reduced enamel dissolution in acidic buffers and saliva/glucose incubations by a direct effect on solubility, and by inhibiting the fall in pH on incubation. These actions may be attributed to the solubility-reducing, glycolysis-inhibiting, and buffering properties of glycyrrhizinic acid, a constituent of liquorice.

Rubella vaccination and anti-D immunoglobulin administration in the puerperium.

The serum conversion rates and post-vaccination rubella haemagglutination inhibiting antibody titres of a group of women given both anti-D immunoglobulin and rubella vaccine in the puerperium have been compared with those of a similar group of patients who were given vaccine but no immunoglobulin. The serological response to rubella vaccination in susceptible women was satisfactory even when anti-D immunoglobulin was given shortly before vaccination.
