Abstract
By means of the myocardium phosphatide precipitation reaction (ACPR) Araki has previously reported that myocardium phosphatide increased in sera at easily infections condition and after motor exercises. The author has examined the reaction on workers, employee of the hospital and on patients in the hospital, of various diseases.
Factory workers, under 20 years of ages and over 36 years of ages, gave changes in their titer of ACPR, conducted before their work and after the work. The average titer of ACPR was comparatively low among the workers employed more than 10 years ago. Meanwhile workers employed less than 1 year ago showed high titer.
Those workers who have hereditary heart diseases or who have anamnesis of focus infections, allergic diseases or hook-worm disease, showed the tendency of increase of titer after work.
The average titer of serum ACPR of healthy person was 1:800 and the average titer of euglobulin ACPR of healthy person was 1:48.
Patients, who have heart disease, tuberculosis, tonsillitis, beri-beri, bronchial asthma, hepatitis, urticaria, typhoid fever, nephritis, hook-worm disease, uterine myoma, showed high titer of ACPR.
Patients with myocardial damages identified by ECG showed high titer of ACPR-patients with cancer of digestive organs, liver cirrhosis or hypoproteanemia showed low titer.
For the diagnosis of myocardial damages, the euglobulin ACPR was more sensitive than the serum ACPR test, although, there was a parallel corelation between both tests.
The decrease of albumin/globulin ratio, especially the increase of gumma globulin tend to increase the titer of ACPR.
Adrenalin had the tendency of increasing the ACPR titer, while atropin and TEAB had no effects upon it.
