    A suggestion of the protein-calcium relationship was made by McCance et al. who reported the effects of the dietary protein intake upon the absorption of calcium. Moreover it has been reported that high calcium intakes have influence on the absorption of other nutrients.
    The following study was designed to give further information on the influence of dietary protein and calcium levels on the nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium metabolism, using 15 male albino rats of the Wistar strain, averaging 100g in the initial body weight.
    High levels of calcium caused a drop in weight gain and had a depressing effect upon the absorption of nitrogen and phosphorus, but the rats fed the high levels of calcium and protein diets gained significantly more weight and showed more increase in the absorption of nitrogen than those fed the high calcium and the normal protein diet.
    The net absorption and retention of calcium did not show a significant difference between the high protein diet and the normal protein diet at the high calcium dietary level.

    A ketogenic diet therapy has been conducted in addition to usual drug treatment. The subject was an infant who had suffered from an intractable epilepsy with frequent epileptic spasm and had undergone medical therapy by the use of an anticonvulsive for several months without showing any successful effect.
    The ketogenic diet therapy resulted in a considerable success and the patient could leave the hospital to take the home diet after 6 months' hospital treatment.
    The program of the ketogenic diet was: “the 4: 1 ratio diet” for 2 years, “the 3:1 ratio diet” for 6 months, “the 2:1 ratio diet” for 6 months and then ordinary foods. However, “the 4:1 ratio diet” which was originally intended for the initial 2 year period has been replaced by “the 3:1 ratio diet” since last November after only 1 year's continuation due to the favorable result of the diet.
    In order to continue the ketogenic diet for a long period the daily menu should give avariety to the diet at all times. Therefore, an example of a food table suitable for easy menu-making for the home diet as well as for the hospital use has been introduced. By using this table, it is very easy to prepare a day's menu which conforms to the specified standard in respect to daily amounts of total calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates.
    *“The 4: 1 ratio diet” means that, in the diet, the ratio of fat (ketogenic materials) to the sum of carbohydrates and protein (antiketogenic materials) is approximately 4:1 by weight.

    We had an on-the-spot investigation of dietetic life of the helthy aged who live in Hachikai and Tatsuda village, village of longevity in Aichi pref. and tried to find the secrets of longevity.
    (1) One is that those above 70 years prefer vegetable foods to animal foods.
    (2) The second is that those around 80 years work cheerfully as young farmers engaging in farming work.
    (3) The third is that they eat much carrots, lotus rhizomeroots and pumpkins which are special products in these districts.
    (4) The fourth is that the vitamin A and C intake of the aged in both villages are significantly higher than that of the other agrarian districts in Aichi prefecture.
    (5) The last is that this region is facing side of the Kiso river and air is clean. They are blessed with good natural environments.

    This report deals with the relation between epidemiological factors (age, sex, marriage, commutation, occupation, hours of rising and sleeping, smoking and drinking habits) and pattern of food intake among 679 workers (electrical machinery workers 103, workers of Japan Monopoly Corporations 97, department store workers 164, local public service workers 315).
    1. The breakfast omitting rate had no relation with the hour of commutation, custom of night eating, hours of rising and sleeping.
    2. The breakfast omitting rate had significant relationship with marriage, appetite, pattern of sleeping (early rising habit or keeping late hours).
    3. The breakfast omitting rate was remarkably observed among the department store workers, because working hours begin later as compared with other occupations, that causes a delay in taking breakfast and usually getting up late.

    To grasp the preference for cooking in psychological and social as well as physiological aspects, 7.4 Girls' Junior College students and 67 housewives in Matsuyama city and its suburbs were surveyed by the S. D method in regard of their images of ten dishes. Results obtained by studying the data are below:
    1) As for 'Shushoku' or main dish, curry and rice, sandwiches and Chao fan signified “youthful” dishes and Chirashizushi was “elders-like”. Sandwiches gave “womanish” and “modern” images.
    2) As for ‘Fukushoku’ or subsidiary dish, uncoated deep fried chicken, Gu lu rou, Meuniér and fried shrimp tended to give “mordern” and “youthful” image and Sashimi inclined toward “old-fashioned” and “elders-like.”
    3) Between students and the housewives, significant differences were noticed in some items such as “likes-dislikes” of curry and rice, sandwiches and Sashimi. Concerning to the items showing almost no difference on the average values, too, there was a more wide spread of images with the wives than with students.
    4) About the correlation coefficient of order in degrees of similarity between each two dishes, both students and wives showed the same tendency to ‘Shushoku’. As for ‘Fukushoku’, students had reverse images in four pairs of dishes, while housewives had such images in only one pair and they showed a very high value, 0.929 in three pairs.

    This study was carried out to evaluate how the protein contents of the diet to modify the chemical toxicity of furylfuramide on JCL: ICR weanling mice.
    The mice of basal protein groups were fed a AF-2 mixed diet containing 24% protein, and the mice of high protein groups were fed the AF-2 mixed diet containing 31% protein, enriched by casein. AF-2 concentrations in each diet were 0, 0.1 and 0.5% respectively. These AF-2 mixed diets were given ad-libitum to the weanling mice from 3 weeks to 9 weeks of age.
    The results obtained are summarized as follows:
    1) A slight suppression of body weight gain was observed in 0.5% AF-2 mice of basal protein groups during the course of experiment, but at 9 weeks of age, the average body weight of this group came up with the level of other groups.
    2) The most remarkable finding at autopsy was the enlargement of the liver observed in AF-2 administered mice both in basal and high protein diet groups. Especially, 0.5% AF-2 mice of high protein groups showed marked liver enlargement.
    3) In the histological examinations, marked degenerations of liver cells were noticed in AF-2 administered mice both in the basal and high protein diet groups.
    4) In the hematological examinations, Hb and Ht decreased. and serum cholesterol increased in proportion to the concentration of AF-2 in diet both in the basal and high protein groups. As for cholesterol, the increasing rate was suppressed in the high protein groups as compared with the basal protein groups.
