Using the reconstructing model of the arteries in the lineal tisue, the author tired to find out the features of arteriosclerotic development in it coming to the following conclusions : …(1) The manner of intima thickening is different after the sort of artery, that is, it appears as the fibrous hyperplasia and the elastic swelling in the trabeclar artery while as the elastic swelling and the hyaline degeneration in the central artery. (2) the hyaline degeneration appears most apparently in the media of the trabeclar artery and in the intima of the central artery.(3) The sclerotic changes (including the hyaline degeneration also) appear in such part of the artery to be ruined most strongly owing to the overwork, that is, in the inner surface of the convex side, in the bifurcating part etc. (4) But, in the central artery, the hyaline degeneration appears at random for the sake of the irregular and labile arrangement of the lymphocytes in the lymph follicle. (5) If some parallel arteries go straight in the trabecle, their sclerotic changes appear in the inner neighbouring sides as theses parts are ruined at first electively for the sake of the blood pressure to each others.

1. The changes of the human pulmonary arteries of leper-corpses were chiefly the thickening, degeneration of the intima, degeneration, structurelessness of elastic fibires and did not belong to every experimental arteriosclerosis on the rabbit's lungs.2, The parts where the arteriosclerosis in the human lungs were occured and progressed, were the same as the experimental arteriosclerosis in the rabbit's lungs. Namely : a. On the convex surface of the vessel's curving. b. On the inside thigh of bifurcating part.3. The peripheral arteries of the human lungs were often fallen in dilatation like as vein and their walls were very thin.

1. Having examined patients out and in, (271 cases) of P.P.P. on the lateral edges of general vertebral body during 1947-1948, the experimenter has acquired the following result. (see table No.1 and No.2)2. The position of hte pressure examination is generally situated on the both sides at 2.0-3.0 c.m. from the median line on the back. But the P.P.P. in apopendicitis, sigmoid colon and colon could be found easilier at 5.0-7.0 c.m. from the medium at Jacoby's line.This P.P.P. in appendicitis could be proved even in non-adhesive initial cases (Fujita's P.P.P. in appendicitis).3. In a few cases he found serial eruptions of papule, sometimes erythema, moreover often in highcolored rosy ring or pustule at the top, in a regular line on the both sides at 2.5-3.5 c.m. form the median line on the back (Fujita's paravertebral papule), and when the papules srupt, his P.P.P. would be restricted or disappear, so the experimenter estimates the latter is fo be allergic changes of muscle as well as the former is that of skin.These papules were analogue in form and position with moxa-papules, and thus he reached a presumption that these papules would be ever the prime motive of discovery to moxa-points in China.At any rate those papules may indicate the immunological meaning of moxa-papules besides pharmacological, thermical and pathomorphological meaning of it in one, and researches for the position of the papules may be develop to study of autonomic especialy vaso-motoric nervous system in concert with the problem of inflammation, allergy and pain in another.

The auther made up φl(lect hand lead point EKG) of 236 men who were looked as healthy with classic diagnosis (standard EKG) by the method of Shimizu & Fujito. Most of them, whose T_L/R_L(R_L is the height of the chief deflection of QRS-group in φ_L) were smaller than-0.1, had anamnesis which was possible to injure myocard. And they were very few of 236 men who had neither such anamnesis nor positive C.P.R. According to the above result and Prof. Maekawa's "Chaindoublets" theory, we are able to know that the man, whose T_L and R_L are discordant, has injured myocard. Then we know that his myocard is injured when his T_III is negative and under any condition that his EKG shows either a standing heart or R.V.P. or tendency of them.

I observed that the percipitin reaction between the myocardial phosphatide, which was extracted from the human myocard, and the euglobulin of patients sera. This reaction was called the myocardial phosphatide reaction (CPR).If this reaction was compared with the results of the electrocardiogram about myocardial lesions, both methods coincided in 86%.

The study was made on the effect of finger exercise on capillaries on 15 healthy persons. The data obtained as to local exercise is as follows.Immediately after the exercise, in most cases it was difficult to observe the change of the caliber of capillaries. Generally the blood circulation in the capillaries bacame slower. It is considered that the above results are due to the increase of resistence of peripheral blood vessels by application of local exercise. 1 Minute after the exercise, the capillaries generally bacame a little larger both in length and width. The blood circulation in the capillaries became more rapid. The base color slightly increased.It is considered that the above mentioned results are due to the increase of blood supply caused by muscle movement and reactive hyperemia after an interruption of blood fow. In 3-5 minutes after the exercise, the build of capillaries regained the previous atate.

A man, 20 years old, has already in childhood cyanosis, palpitation on exertion, dyspnea and dizzines. On the physical examination, his heart shows dilatation to the right and loud, prolonged systolic murmurs with a typical point of maximum intensity.in the 3rd. interspace to the left of the sternum.Both 2nd. arterial tones are not heard. Electrocardiogram is the picture of myocardial damage. These symptoms and signs should be due to the combination of the ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, which was acertained at autopsy.

The authors observed 62 cases of typhus in Kyoto electrocardiographically during the epidemy in Japan in the spring of 1946. The chief symptoms were as follwos : throughout the febrile and the reconvalescent stage, PQ and QT-times were prolonged, and T-wave were inclined to become flat or negative.

We atempted to research the reiations between the undernourishment and the appearance of hypertensive disease, then we observed statistically 5404 patients, who admitted to the third medical clinic of Kyoto university for five years off and on, namely from 1936 to 1941 (before war) and from 1942 to 1946 (after war).We believe ethat, there is a intimate relation between the decrease of the hypertensive disease and undernourishment, and this is a important suggestion to the prevention and the treatment of these diseases.
