Man is a social being. He adapts himself to his circumstances. If his adaptation is disturbed, neurosis will develop as an avoidance behaviour. Enquiring into neurosis with due regards to the Adaptation to Society, the problems of circumstances were investigated by means of the method of sociometry, based on the theory of Dynamic Psychology. 91 students of the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd year classes of the Nurses High School, Kokura National Hospital, were selected as our objects. Personality tests were conducted. Both their external sociality degree and their internal individuality degree, judged from their own suggestions, were measured.
According to our results, Sociometry was distinctly able to reveal the psychological structure of a social grotp and the situations of circumstances. Therefore, as an effective step to the investigation of social circumstances concerning neurosis cases, sociometry will greatly contribute to the comprehension of social circumstances, where neurosis may develop. Besides, sociometry will be a guide in the re-adjustment therapy of neurosis.

In order to reveal the relation between the antagonizing substance (antihormones), gon ado-tropic hormones and the antibodies, we conducted some comparative studies on the fluctuation of antihormone concentration upon ciscontinuance of injection and the fluctuation of precipitin concentration, in the rabbits to which chorionic gonado-tropic hormones (trop-hoblast-hormones) had been injected continuously.
As the trophoblast-hormones, pregnant women's urine (3 months of pregnancy), pregnant women's urine of positive protein reaction (regardless of the number of month of pregnancy) and liquid of human placentin were used. Our 2nd antihcrmon reacticn was applied in order
to identify the presence of antihormones.
The observation of 3 groups of the rabbits injected with pregnant women's urine proteinpositive urine and suspension of human placentin gave the result that in any case the fluctuation of antihormones concentration did not correspond with that of the precipitin.
In the group of the rabbits, successively injected with nonpregnant women's urine in which trophoblast-hormones did rot exist, the production of the antihormones was not seen, but the presence of precipitin was observed.
In other group, to which the injections of purified suspension of human placentin had been applied, it was revealed that the antihormones retained for a long period even after the disappearence of the precipitin.
This experimental study will show that the fluctuation of the antihormones produced in the rabbits through the continuous injection of trophoblast-hormones, does not correspond to that of precipitin concentration.
In conclusion, the antihormones and the precipitin nay be entirely different ones in their process.

Experiments were conducted upon 8 female adults, at room temperature, 24.0 to 31.5 degrees C., during the period from June to September 1953, in order to investigate the influences of the electric currents upon the amplitudes of the galvanic skin reflex (GSR).
Several criteria, such as the changes in resistance, the changes in conductance, the % changes in resistance, the % changes in current, the % changes in conductance, the changes in log resistance, the changes in log conductance, the log changes in conductance, the Haggard's unit, were compared with each others in order to find out the most appropriate
one.
In our experiments, two GSR curves from both palms (right and left) were recorded simultaneously by means of a pair of so-called simple circuits apparatus, which consists of battery, microammeter, vibrator-F of electromagnetic oscillograph. The strength of the currents of one side palm was changed, step by step, from 50μA up to 300μA (16 steps), and at each step, about 15 times of Faradic Stimulations were delivered at an interval of around 10 seconds, while the current for the opposite side was kept constant at about 100μA, for the control.
The characteristics of our experiments were that the corresponding reflex curves from both palms were compared with each other simultaneously, instead of the discussion of the statistical data of the reflex curves obtained at different times. Our results were as follows:
1) Among the above mentioned criteria of the measurements, the changes in conductance, the changes in log conductance, the log changes in conductance and the Haggard's units were proved to be more adezuate ones, since they were minimally influenced by the basal currents in the original ciucuit.
2) The changes in log conductance, the log changes in conductance and the Haggard's unit showed more closely related values in the corresponding reflexes from both palms.
3) From the physiological and psychological point of view, it is still questionable whether these four units shall be really appropriate ones for the indication of the real magnitudes of the reflex.
In conclusion, by means of the Veraguth's Resistance Method, precisely quantitative measurements of the reflex seem to be unable, since the influences of the currents upon the original reflex are so complicated.

We investigated the INAH's effects upon the size of bacilli, number of granules and K. F. of TB bacilli, in vitro, and in sputum, in our caces who were administered INAH for six months. The following results were obtained:
1) In vitro, upon Proskauer-Beck and Oka-Katakura culture media, the letgth of bacilli was shortened, the number of granules increased and the K. F. declined, in accordance of the concentration of INAH.
2) As for the bacilli in sputum, Gaffky Number decreased remarkablly by the administration of INAH for 2 or 3 months, however, after that period the Number increased generally. Meanwhile, the size of the bacilli became shorter for the first 2 or 3 months, and after that period it became longer in size. The number of granules decreased also in the earlier
period, and later it increased. The decrease of K. F. in the earlier period was not remarkable.
3) INAH-resistant bacilli appeared after 1 or 2 months of the administration The changes in the bacilli from sputum seems to be related to that.
4) The observation of tubercle bacilli in sputum through fluorescence microscope was always identical with the observation of the bacilli stained with Ziel-Neelsen method.
