The results were as follows: 1) By intraperitoneal inoculation, R. mooseri could produce manifest infection in all the seasons but that of high temperature, while R. prowazeki could not in any season. 2) By intranasal inoculation, both rickettsiae could cause the sickness in all the seasons except that of high temperature. R. mooseri, however, caused severer attack than R. prowazeki. 3) Even by intraperitoneal inoculation of R. mooseri of non-manifest infection, the serial passage of the rickettsia was well carried out. 4) After intraperitoneal inoculation of R. mooseri into mice in April, fibrocytes increased in the peritoneal exudate on the 1st to 4th day, fibrohistiocytes on th 5th to 7th day, and histiocytes on the 8th to 10th day. 5) In hunger-breeding mice previously injected with benzene and olive oil, intraperitoneal inoculation of R. prowazeki did not cause any manifest attack. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OhnoShigenobu en-aut-sei=Ohno en-aut-mei=Shigenobu kn-aut-name=王野茂信 kn-aut-sei=王野 kn-aut-mei=茂信 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3219 end-page=3245 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on Rickettsia I: Studies on the Complement-Fixation Test Using the Peritoneal Exudate of Guinea-pigs Inoculated with Rickettsia tsutsugamushi kn-title=Rickettsiaに関する研究 第1編 恙虫病病毒量と補体結合反応との関係に関する研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The author studied on the pathogenicity and complement-fixing antigenicity of the peritoneal exudate of guinea-pigs previously injected with chlorpromazine and then inoculated with Tanizawa strain of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi. Both of the exudates with and without visible rickettsiae were used as the experimental materials. The results were as follows: 1) whether contained visible rickettsiae or not, the exudates showing the specific inflammatory pictures had no significant difference in their pathogenicity. 2) The exudates showing the specific inflammatory pictures had the same titer of complement-fixing antigenicity, regardless of appearance or non-appearance of visible rickettsiae. 3) Whether contained visible rickettsiae or not, the exudates showing the specific inflammatory pictures did not show any significant difference of antigenicity against the rabbit immunesera immunized by subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intrascrotal inoculation of exudates. Of all the inoculation sites tested, intraperitoneal one produced the antisera of the highest titer. 4) In short, regardless of the presence or absence of visible rickettsiae, the peritoneal exudates showing the specific inflammatory pictures had no noticeable difference in their pathogenicity and complement-fixing antigenicity. The cellular pictures of peritoneal exudates are the specific reaction figures to multiplication of rickettsiae, and appearance of rickettsiae depends on the growing stadium of ricketsiae and, moreover, depends on the technic of stain. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OhnoShigenobu en-aut-sei=Ohno en-aut-mei=Shigenobu kn-aut-name=王野茂信 kn-aut-sei=王野 kn-aut-mei=茂信 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3215 end-page=3218 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Barbital Concentration in Body and Sleep Part 3.

In order to clarify this relationship still further, I used the δ-index of E. E. G. for the numerical representation of depth of sleep, and examined the possibility of a parallel relationship between this index and the barbital concentration in blood. The results revealed that ths two fluctuate in parallel up to one to two hours after oral administration of barbital but beyond two hours the δ-index decreased rather independently of the barbital concentration in blood. From this result, the brain seems to posess a resistant (a familiarized phenomenon) at this stage to barlital, and therefore, the beginning of a habitual tendency had apparently been created in the brain. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SaraiKeisuke en-aut-sei=Sarai en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name=更井啓介 kn-aut-sei=更井 kn-aut-mei=啓介 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部神経精神医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3211 end-page=3214 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Barbital Concentration in Body and Sleep Part 2.

Generally there are two possible pathways through which substances in blood enter into the brain, namely, one, directly through blood vessels and the other, by way of the choriomeningeal plexus. Barbital will possibly enter the brain by the former pathway but it may enter the brain by way of the cerebro-spinal fluid as in the case of P.(32) In order to verify this point, I have measured the barbital concentrations in the lumbar fluid and the ventricle fluid, each obtained at the time of lobotomy and at the pneumo-ventriclography, respectively. From these results, it has been found that barbital immigrated into the cerebro-spinal fluid faster than bromine so that there seems to be a possible pathway to the brain through this fluid. Moreover, in the measurements of the barbital concentration in the ventricle fluid after oral administration has been found higher than that in the lumbar fluid. For this reason, I believe that the choriomeningeal plexus plays the leading rôle in the production of the cerebro-spinal fluid as contended by other investigators. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SaraiKeisuke en-aut-sei=Sarai en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name=更井啓介 kn-aut-sei=更井 kn-aut-mei=啓介 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部神経精神医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3207 end-page=3209 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Barbital Concentration in Body and Sleep Part 1.

This aroused my interest in intiating the study on the barbital concentration in body. I have examined human body repeatedly with the use of Goldschmidt's method and measured the barbital concentration in blood. As the results, it has been found that the barbital concentration in blood reaches its maximum about two hours after its administration, and although it gradually decreases thereafter, it still maintains a relatively high level after twenty-four hours. This point coincides well with that of drugs clinically used for inducing lasting sleep. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SaraiKeisuke en-aut-sei=Sarai en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name=更井啓介 kn-aut-sei=更井 kn-aut-mei=啓介 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部神経精神医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3199 end-page=3206 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A clinical study of the general anesthesia for the patients with anemia and hypoproteinemia Part 2.

Therefore, coutious attention should be called. 5) On the contrary, in the patients with anemia there were not the tendency to be deeper.

In the increase of the leucocytes, An increase of the neutrophils and an marked increase of the lymphocyte were observed. Hemoglobin as well as hematcrit increased, while the water content of blood and plasma decreased. 2) Total plasma protein increased and its fractioning revealed an increase of A/G ratio, slight increase of albumin, decrease of α-globulin as well as φ, slight increase of γ-grobulin and no change of β-globulin in percentage. From the quantitative point, there were observed an increase of Al. slight increase of β-Gl., decrease of φ, increase of γ-Gl. and no change of α-Gl.. 3) These changes in the peripheral blood corpuscles and the plasma protein are considered to be due to the temporary increase of adrenalin secretion caused by cyclopropane as stressor, though there may be some exemia (concentration of the blood) due to general anesthesia. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KunitomoKeiichi en-aut-sei=Kunitomo en-aut-mei=Keiichi kn-aut-name=国友桂一 kn-aut-sei=国友 kn-aut-mei=桂一 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第1(陣内)外科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3175 end-page=3179 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Nitrogen Metabolism of the Brain Part 3 The Ammonia and Amino Acid Contents of the Rat Brain in case of the Injection of Chlorpromazine kn-title=脳の窒素代謝 第3編 クロールプロマヂン投与大黒鼠脳髓アンモニア並にアミノ酸について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Ammonia of the rat brain in case of the injection of chlorpromazine was measured by Conway's microdiffusion method, and amino acid by the paperchromatography, and the following results have been obtained in the respective measurements. 1) Following the injection of chlorpromazine (50 mg/kg per once), the ammonia contents of the rat brain decreased to 0.34 mg. per cent. 2) In case of repeated injection of chlorpromazine (20 mg/kg every day), the ammonia contents of rat brain increased to 0.93 mg per cent, and the simultaneous decrease of glutamic acid was not found. 3) The amounts of ammonia formed by above mentioned brain slices were found to be 6.2 μM/g. for the first one hour, 7.1 μM/g in two hours, 9.3 μM/g. in three hours and 12.7 μM/g in four hours, respectively.

The results are as follows: 1) Both of the neutralization test and the "Absaettigungsversuch" of ectromelia virus are ef practical use ot least to a limitted degree. The “Absaettigungsversuch” is, however, of less use than the neutralization test, and is inferred to give a definite result only in combination with the neutralization test. Consequently, combined employment of the both tests is desirable. 2) Hepatitis antisera showed a high neutralization with hepatitis virus, and not with the other viruses. The result of this neutralization test was determined by observation of pathological findings. 3) In short, the results of these immunological tests showed that the viruses of infectious hepatitis, ectromelia and "Izumi fever" were clearly different to each other, and distinct discrimination was possible among them. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsuuraHidekichi en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Hidekichi kn-aut-name=松浦秀吉 kn-aut-sei=松浦 kn-aut-mei=秀吉 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3145 end-page=3157 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Comparative Stuies on Hepatitis Virus with Analogous Viruses I: Comparative Animal Experiments on Hepatitis Virus with Ectromelia Virus kn-title=分離肝炎病毒と類似病毒との比較研究 第1編 分離肝炎病毒とEctromelia Virusとの比較動物実験 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In order to reinvestigate the natures of hepatitis virus in detail, the author studied the general natures of hepatitis virus in comparison with ectromelia virus.

In the course of elucidation of the causative factors of violent food poisoning that occurred in the Okayama Prefecture in 1953, the author has made a report on the S-R dissociation and the virulency of Sh. sonnei in the Report 1. In the preaent report the biological nature of the virulent strain is described. 1) Sh. sonnei grow most rapidly in the medium whose optimal pH is 7.0-7.6, but when the pH falls under 4.3 the growth of bacteris is completely inhibited: and in addition, the peaks of the growth are correlated with changes in the pH of the medium. 2) In the cultures performed in test-tubes and flasks, R-type bacteia grew in the flask much better than S-type, while on the contrary in the test-tubes R-type bacteria growth was inferior to that of the S-type. 3) As for the growth of Sh. sonnei in soft gruel of rice malt, although the growth does not reach as high degree as observed in the peptone medium but it reaches the maximum growth within 12 hours. After 24-hour culture, however, the growth tends to decline. 4) On examining by paper chromatography and by Warburg's apparatus the l-histidine decarboxylase activity of the isolated strain that has been cultured in the media of peptone solution loaded with l-histidine and with additional various sugars, the excretion of carbon dioxide gas and the production of histamine are observable only in the cases where these bacteria are grown in the media containing additional glucose, maltose, or mannose. 5) Acetone powder of Sh. sonnei that has been cultured in the medium of glucose-peptone solution loaded with l-histidine possesses the l-histidine decarboxylase activity and acts specifically to the substrate. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KobayashiRyosuke en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Ryosuke kn-aut-name=小林良輔 kn-aut-sei=小林 kn-aut-mei=良輔 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3127 end-page=3134 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Biological Nature of Sh. sonnei Newly Isolated Part 1 A Study on the Variation of Sh. sonnei kn-title=新しく分離したSh. sonneiの生物学的性状に関する研究 第1編 Sh. sonneiのS-R変異に関する研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Concerning the S-R dissociation of Sh. sonnei there are abundant reports. The author obtained the following results by employing the virulent strain which had caused violent food poisoning. At first in order to facilitate the differntiation of S-R changes the Endo culture medium was partially modified and the variation of Sh. sonnei has been observed by performing the series of cultures on the medium taking serological aspects into consideration. 1) With the S-type the series of cultures successive incubations were carried out for 300 generations and always about five per cent of them indicated R-type dissociation. 2) In the series of cultures on the medium loaded with certain sugars the R-type dissociation became less apparent and after the fifth in every generation a wholly pure S-type was obtained. 3) In the experiments comparing the virulency of the bacteria cultured under the various conditions against animals, the virulency of the bacteria cultured in the soft gruel of rice malt proved to be strongest. 4) In the experiment of reconversion of the R-type bacteria to the S-type, either by culture in the media loaded with various substances or by passage through animals, no reconversion of R-type back to S-type has taken place at least in the author's experiments. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KobayashiRyosuke en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Ryosuke kn-aut-name=小林良輔 kn-aut-sei=小林 kn-aut-mei=良輔 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3117 end-page=3125 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Neutralization Test of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi II: Studies on the Procedures of Neutralization Test of R.

Mitani strain of R. tsutsugamushi isolated from the patients of Umayado disease in Kagawa prefecture was used as the test agent. The results were as follows: 1) In test tubes, R. tsutsugamushi combines with its antisera in a short time, and the virulence of R. tsutsugamushi falled along with prolongation of contact period. These facts suggest that estimation of the true titer of neutralization antibody become possible by the short-period-contact which causes no noticeable fall of rickettsial virulence. 2) In the neutralization test of R. tsutsugamushi, dilution of antisera to be mixed with rickettsiae in test tubes deteriorates its result, and addition of human or guinea-pig sera had no influence on its neutralizing effect. 3) No noticeable result was obtained in application of the "Absaettigungsversuch" to R. tsutsugamushi. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NambaTomisaburo en-aut-sei=Namba en-aut-mei=Tomisaburo kn-aut-name=難波富三郎 kn-aut-sei=難波 kn-aut-mei=富三郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3099 end-page=3116 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Neutralization Test of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi I: Studies on Various Factors of Neutralization Test kn-title=R. tsutsugamushiの中和試験に関する研究 第1編 中和試験に及ぼす各因子に対する検討 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=As the factors influencing the neutralization test of rickettsiae, the following ones have been given; mouse organs employed, unequal distribution of rickettsiae in organs and determination method of the result. The author studied the influences of these factors and other various conditions on the neutralization test. Mitani strain of Rickttsia tsutsugamushi isolated from the patients of Umayado disease in Kagawa prefecture was used as the test agent. The results were as follows: 1) In the present experiment, though some errors should be taken into consideration so far as animal experiment is concerned, it was concluded that reliable result would be obtained by careful selection of the outer conditions and inner factors. 2) As the outer conditions, the experimental temperature and the solution for dilution of rickettsial emulsion are given. The temperature under 10°C is suitable for treatment of R. tsutsugamushi, and glutamine-sucrose-phosphate buffer is superior as the dilution solution. 3) As the inner factors, those of rickettsia itself and those of immune sera were considered. In orser to make the distribution of rickettsiae equal, many livers and spleens were pooled and treated at the low temperature mentioned above. The selection of immune sera is important, and the neutralization test with rabbit immune sera showed the best result. 4) After some observation period of neutralization test, a few of the survived mice showed the syndrom of the disease. This result suggested that prolongation of observation period was necessary to exact determination of the result of neutralization test. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NambaTomisaburo en-aut-sei=Namba en-aut-mei=Tomisaburo kn-aut-name=難波富三郎 kn-aut-sei=難波 kn-aut-mei=富三郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部微生物学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3093 end-page=3097 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Trauma and The Used Weapons kn-title=創傷と兇器について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=It is very difficulty to prove that a weapon bas been used for the production of a wound generally, and we are observed three wounds, one punctured wound by an instrument, other cutting by a saw in the head and another stab wound of chest by a shape weapon. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KandaMizuho en-aut-sei=Kanda en-aut-mei=Mizuho kn-aut-name=神田瑞穂 kn-aut-sei=神田 kn-aut-mei=瑞穂 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HonidenKosiro en-aut-sei=Honiden en-aut-mei=Kosiro kn-aut-name=本位田甲子郎 kn-aut-sei=本位田 kn-aut-mei=甲子郎 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamadaNaruo en-aut-sei=Hamada en-aut-mei=Naruo kn-aut-name=浜田稔雄 kn-aut-sei=浜田 kn-aut-mei=稔雄 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ItasakaYasuo en-aut-sei=Itasaka en-aut-mei=Yasuo kn-aut-name=板阪康夫 kn-aut-sei=板阪 kn-aut-mei=康夫 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=FunabikiSadao en-aut-sei=Funabiki en-aut-mei=Sadao kn-aut-name=船曳定雄 kn-aut-sei=船曳 kn-aut-mei=定雄 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatusimaKuro en-aut-sei=Matusima en-aut-mei=Kuro kn-aut-name=松島九郎 kn-aut-sei=松島 kn-aut-mei=九郎 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShirakamiKiyotoshi en-aut-sei=Shirakami en-aut-mei=Kiyotoshi kn-aut-name=白神清敏 kn-aut-sei=白神 kn-aut-mei=清敏 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部法医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3085 end-page=3091 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=On Retinal Pictures of Newborn Infant with Especial Reference to Hemorrhage kn-title=新産児眼底所見,特に網膜出血に就いて en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The authors have examined the ocular fundus of newborn infants (130 cases in total) born at full term in the Obstetrical Department of Okayama University Hospital, by the use of virtual image method, and obtained the following results. Retinal hemorrhages were found in 30 out of 130 cases (23.1%) and showed a tendency to increase in number in the cases with complications on delivery. It has been thought that the hemorrhage was caused mainly by the congestion and elevation of the intracracranial pressure. The incidence was also higher in toxemias of pregnancy and was 41.7% in the cases born with asphyxia. In general, the retina was bright and appeared more or less pinkish in color in large number of cases. The margins of papillary discs blurred in 37 cases (28.5%), in which the retinal hemorrhages were greater in number than the average. There were found 16 cases of the coni and one case of pigroid fundus. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HayashiKozo en-aut-sei=Hayashi en-aut-mei=Kozo kn-aut-name=林幸三 kn-aut-sei=林 kn-aut-mei=幸三 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShishidoTatsuo en-aut-sei=Shishido en-aut-mei=Tatsuo kn-aut-name=宍道辰男 kn-aut-sei=宍道 kn-aut-mei=辰男 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraKatsuhiko en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Katsuhiko kn-aut-name=西村勝彦 kn-aut-sei=西村 kn-aut-mei=勝彦 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部産婦人科教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部眼科教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部眼科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3073 end-page=3084 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Sero-immunological studies of the serum protein of prognant women kn-title=妊婦血清蛋白の血清免疫学的研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=1.

Comparison in frequency proved among the eastern-shoremen, the western-shoremen, both of Koshikijima, and the village people of Kashima. The east-shoremen and Kashima people proved superior to the west-shoremen in their frequency of O-type blood, and besides, the former proved higher in ratio than Kashima villagers. As to A-type frequency, both the east-and west-shoremen surpassed Kashima villagers, but while in the former no marked difference has been detected among the three, the frequency proved rather high in general; in the frequency of AB-type, the west-coasters proved highest, compared to the east-shoremen or Kashima-villagers, the last proving very low indeed. II. Comparison of those people of Koshikijima, as well as of Kashima, with several local peoples of Kyushu. In their high ratio of frequency in O-type blood, the east-shoremen seem to belong the local people of Southern Kyushu; esp., they closely resemble the people of Tanegashima; whereas, the Kashima-villagers enjoy a still higher ratio. The west-shoremen closely approach to the local people of Northern Kyushu, but prove lower in ratio. In A-type frequency, both the east and west-shoremen indicate no special diversity, compared to the Noerthern and Southern Kyushu men; only the Kashima villagers have proved as inferior. In B-type frequency, the former three groups alike stand higher than the South-Kyushu men. In AB-type frequency, the western-shoremen is superior, but in Kashima villagers it has proved lower than local peoples of Kyushu. III. In eastern as well as western shoremen and Kashima villagers, the frequency of O-type which often characterized the southern peoples, shows more outstanding than in the South-Kyushu men; the eastern shoremen approach close to peoples of South-Kyushu and Tanegashima; moreover, have tendency to approach to such races and tribes as Amami-Oshima, Loochou, Taiwan-Takasago, Micronesia and Indonesia, with gradual stages in crease; the frequency in Kashima people so closely resembles those of Paiwan triwan tribe of Taiwan-Takasago race or Indonesians of Java, proving remarkably southern. In this point, the eastpeople and Kashima people, as seen from the fingerprint, reveal their southern quality; while west-shoremen, similar to the case of fingerprint, approaches to the Koreans in their low frequency of O-type blood type. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MuranagagKenzo en-aut-sei=Muranagag en-aut-mei=Kenzo kn-aut-name=村永兼三 kn-aut-sei=村永 kn-aut-mei=兼三 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=鹿児島大学医学部法医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=3009 end-page=3018 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Epidemiologic Studies on Venereal Diseases in Okayama District Report III.

The author carried out the experiments to determine the effects of sexual hormones upon fructose in semen using rats by weighing the seminal vesicles and testis. 1. The weights of the seminal vesicles of normal rats were ranging from 9 to 125 mg, whereas the values of fructose were ranging from 114 to 475 mg/100g. From this experiments. the weight of seminal vesicles seems to proportional to the concentration of fructose in semen. 2. Administration of testosterone propionate cause the enlargement of the seminal vesicles and the increase of the concentration of seminal fructose, whereas the prolonged administration of testosterone have and inhibitory action and cause the testicular atrophy. 3. Administration of large quantities of estradiol benzoate have an inhibitory action on seminal secretion and cause the testicular atrophy, the decrease of the concentration of seminal fructose and the weight of testis. 4. Follicle stimulating hormones have stimulating action on testis and cause indirectly the increase of the concentration of seminal fructose. 5. The effects of castration on seminal fructose and the effects of testosterone on the appearance of fructose in castrated rats were significant. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamamuraEitaro en-aut-sei=Yamamura en-aut-mei=Eitaro kn-aut-name=山村英太郎 kn-aut-sei=山村 kn-aut-mei=英太郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=2969 end-page=2984 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Studies on the Mechanisms of Fructose Formation in Semen Report I.

Of 153 male infertility, 50.3% was azoospermia, 12.4% was oligozoospermia and 3.9% was necrozoospermia. The abnormal objective signs were observed in testis. epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles. 64.9% were observed in azoospermia, 26.3% in oligozoospermia and 50.0% in necrozoospermia. 2. Epididymitis tuberculosa (3.9%) and epididymitis gonorrhea (30.5%) were observed in past history and inflammation of epididymis seems to have an important effect upon the secretory function of male accessory organs. 3. More detailed examinations have been carried out in 16 patients on oligozoospermia and azoospermia. The Volme of semen, seminal fructose, testicular biopsy and vesiculograms were examined and found no relation between the values of seminal fructose and the atrophy of seminiferous tubulus, whereas the most intimate connections were observed upon the development of the seminal vesicles. 4. Various values of the examinations on the volume of semen and the concentration of seminal fructose were observed in patients with urogenital diseases. Upon the tuberculoses of seminal vesicles, the values were found in high and on the cysts of seminal vesicles were found in low. 5. Upon the effects of vasectomy on normal man, the values of seminal fructose were decrease after a week period of operation and radually return to normal, whereas in rats and rabbits, the values were found unstable after the operation, but, in general, these were disposed to decrease. 6. From these above point of views, the seminal fructose on male infertility and urogenital disease seems to be controlled by the state of the seminal vesicles, and the male sexual hormones seem to have the close relation upon the secretory function. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamamuraEitaro en-aut-sei=Yamamura en-aut-mei=Eitaro kn-aut-name=山村英太郎 kn-aut-sei=山村 kn-aut-mei=英太郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page=2947 end-page=2955 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19571231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=On the Aspiration of the Intrapleural Effusion and Blood after Resection of the Lung Part 1 Clinical physical study kn-title=肺切除後の胸腔内潴溜血液の吸引に関する研究 第1編 臨床的物理学的研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=1) The viscosity of the intrapleural blood and effusion after resection of the lung was measured using Hess-Erma's Viscosimeter. 2) Aspirating the viscous liquid in the pleural cavity is to be performed with "the Law of Poiseuille". 3) The length of radius of drainpipe influences mostly on the aspiration. The appropriate length of the inside diameter is from 0.7 cm to 0.9 cm. 4) The drainpipe must to be seamless from the pleural cavity to the bed and as short as possible, and the shape of its tip must to be simple. 5) So long as the air leakage from the lung continues, "Y" type tube is not adequate. 6) The appropriate number of the side holes is one or two and the appropriate position sits within 3 cm from the tip. 7) The appropriate pressure of the aspiration is from -10 to -15 cm H(2)O. 8) "Three bottle catheter suction drainage consisting of a trap bottle, water seal and valve bottle in series" is favourable for the aspiration apparatus. 9) The air leakage continues for about 10 hours at soonest. The air leakage stops in 15 hours to 50 hours mostly, but not a few continue for more than 65 hours. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamanaMasaru en-aut-sei=Yamana en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name=山名勝 kn-aut-sei=山名 kn-aut-mei=勝 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第1(陣内)外科教室 END
