We evaluated the therapeutic effect of potassium iodide in fourteen patients with erythema nodosum. The results were as follows: 1) All patients were given a saturated solution of potassium iodide, 600 to 900 mg orall y a day for 3 days to 5 weeks. 2) Three patients were observed initial days, two patients within 9 days. 3) There were no correlations between therapeutic effect of potassium iodide. 4) Specific side effects were not found during the treatment with potassium iodide.

Aims: Potassium is an essential macronutrient for the growth and development of plants. Most of potassium in the soil presented in mineral forms or non-exchangeable forms which are not available for plants. The microbial activity facilitated to release of mineral forms or non-exchangeable potassium to the exchangeable or water-soluble. This study was aimed to isolate, select, and characterize of the selected potassium solubilizing bacteria from limestone mining area in Palimanan, Cirebon Quarry. Methodology and results: Isolation and selection of bacteria was done based on potassium dissolving index in Aleksandrov media containing feldspar, non-exchangeable potassium. Thirty seven isolates of potassium solubilizing bacteria were obtained in this study. Three isolates showed higher dissolution index, namely KQC.4B.1, KQC.5A.4, and KQC.5C.5. All of isolates were Gram negative bacteria, short-rod formed, and able to dissolve potassium concentration on 10th and 20th days. The three isolates showed 99.9% physiologically similar with Burkholderia cepacia. Futhermore by using 16S rRNA gene identification, isolate KQC.5C.5 closely related with B. cepacia with 99% identity. The application of isolate KQC.5C.5 on soil showed that the isolate was able to release the solution K formed after 10th day incubation. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Potassium solubilizing bacteria (B. cepacia) could use as a biological fertilizer for providing potassium which is available to plants grown on reclamation area of limestone quarry.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of mixed NaCl-KCl salt on sodium intake and urinary excretion of sodium and potassium. In this study, 3-day food records for pre-experimental diet and 24-hr urine collected for 2-days, 6-day experimental diet food and 24-hr urine were used to evaluate the relationship between Na metabolism. In the experimental diet food, mixed NaCl-KCl salt was added. During the pre-experimental diet period, intakes of Na and K were 178.2 mEq and 56.4 mEq, respectively. The urinary excretion of Na and K in 24-hr were 139.6 mEq, 27.7 mEq, respectively and urinary Na/K ratio was 6.6. During the experimental diet period, intakes of Na and K were 130.2 mEq and 120.4 mEq, respectively. The urinary excretion of Na and K in 24-hr were 100.2 mEq, 37.1 mEq, respectively and urinary Na/K ratio was 2.8. According to this study, it is concluded that mixed NaCl-KCl salt diet decreased the intake of Na, and increased the intake of K.

1. A total number of 224 selected cases of maxillary antrum inflammation were subjected to conservative treatments2. The use of normal salt solution (N.S.S.) with or without injection of collargol gave encouraging resultsThe use of neoprontosil in lieu of collargol gave the highest percentage of recovery. In connection with this, it may be mentioned that sulfanilamide and prontylin were tried, but owing to their difficult solubility they were abandoned4. Potassium permanganate solution seems to have given us poor results as far as recovery was concerned; but it is certainly a good deodorizing material5. Surgical intervention was recommended only after the conservative method had apparently failed. (Summary)
Potassium Permanganate, Neoprontosil, Collargol

We report 6 cases of sporotricosis including 3 cases of lymphocutaneous type and 3 cases of fixed cutaneous type. There were 3 males and 3 females patients in the age between 5 to 63 year-old age. Clinically, histopathologically and mycologically, we diagnosed the cases as the sporotrichosis. And then case 1 and 2 were treated with potassium iodide for 9 weeks and 15 weeks duration. Case 3, 4, 5 and 6 were treated with itraconazole for 10-14 weeks duration. All patients were almost healed without recurrence.
