JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe Joint Research Committee on the Occupational Therapy, participated by 23 National Sanatoria, made cultivation of sputa, once in a week, for 24 weeks, from 347 cases of recovering tuberculosis, who were under occupational therapy, and investigated the occurrences of positive culture and the number of colony of tuberclc bacilli, and observed the relationship between the obtained data and the clinical relapses during the course of occupational therapy.
In the 323 cases which had no clinical relapses, the following data were obtained:
a) About 10% of them gave positive cultures.
b) In more than 60% of the positive culture cases, number of colony counted was less than 10.
(figures were the sum total of the colonies developed in the two test-tubes, in which 0.1cc of sputa diluted twofold by 8% of NaOH were cultured)
c) Cases of which cultures gave any positive results during the whole period of 24 weeks were about 50% of the total cases, and about half of the said cases gave less than 10 colonies, while other 15% of them gave more than 100 colonies.
d) Generally, the smaller the maximum number of colonies, the lower the frequency of positive cultures, i. e., in 79 cases of which maximum number of colonies developed were less then 10, only 38 cases gave positive cultures by every four weeks' examination.
In the 24 cases which had any clinical symptom of relapses, the following data were obtained:
a) More than 40% of them gave positive cultures.
b) In more than 80% of the positive culture cases, the counted number of their colonies was over 10.
c) Except 1 case, the relapse cases gave positive results and deveioped more than 10 colonies, The maximum number of colonies throughout the 24 weeks was 11 to 20 in 2 cases, while the other 21 cases developed more than 100 colonies.
d) Generally, 1/2 to 5 months preceding the appearance of clinical symptom of relapses, they showed more than 40 colonies in their cultivation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1625K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThee present paper deals with the observations, made on the serum cholinesterase activity in various types of pulmonary tuberculosis and the changes of activity during the comse of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with thoracoplasty or chemotherapy. The cholinesterase activity was determined manometrically by means of the Warburg instrument and estimations of the serum protein fraction were carried out on some cases, by means of the paper electrophoretic method and cupper sulfate method.
The correlation between the cholinesterase activity and the serum albumin concentration is also discussed.
Results were as follows:
1) In the cases of thoracoplasty the cholinesterase activity decreased definitely for one month after operation, and recovered gradually to the pre-operation state of activity by about 6 months.
2) In the chemotherapy group, the serum cholinesterase activity of the cases, whose clinical signs were markedly improved by chemotherapy, increased during and after the chemotherapy.
3) The level of the serum cholinesterase activity of far advanced cases was distinctly low. The discrepancy between the cholinesterase activity of the far advanced cases and that of moderately advanced or minimal cases was statistically significant.
4) In the far advanced cases, the serum albumin decrease and the serum globulin increase were found. The correlation between the serum cholinesterase activity and the albumin concentration was statistically significant.View full abstractDownload PDF (1299K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOpaque lungs subsequent to artificial pneumothorax; 53 cases of opacification of upper lobes (group L), 43 cases of opacification of more than one lobe (group M), 2 cases of opacification of lower lobes, and 19 cases of partial opacification of lower lobes; were investigated.
Results were as follows:
A) Group L and M:
Time from the start of pneumothorax to the development of opacification: Opacification occurred within one month in 43% of both groups, and within six months in 86%. Classification by duration were made: continued, vanished, and inconstant groups. There were 15% of empyem in continued group, 14% in vanished group, and 0% in inconstant group.
The longer duration gave larger tendency to empuem and cavity closure.
The early opacificated lung had the tendency of long-standing and moderate or marked retention of effusion. Empyem occurred within six months subsequent to opacification in all cases.
In the form of opacification of upper lobe, there were trinεngle form, mixed form, and round form. Sputum conversion and cavity closure were of best results in the triangle form, sometimes of good results in the mixed form, and of worse results in the round form. Effusion occurred in 81% of triangle form, in 71% of mixed form, and in 66% of round form, however, empyem showed no remarkable differences among three forms.
In the patients who showed mediastinal shift, opacification occurred in 53%, within one month, and 100%, within six months.
Most patients showed fair or poor collapse.
B) Qpacification of lower lobe and partial opacification of lower lobe: In both groups, 90% of the cases had no findings in their lower lobes.
36% of lower opaque lobes and 67% of partial opacification of the lower lobes had lapsed more than 6 months from the induction of pneumothorax to the opacification.
The ratio of effusion was 78% in both groups altogether.View full abstractDownload PDF (1066K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThere have been many reports on the serum-agglutination of dysentery in order to make the estimation of the types of the infecting Shigella. However, most of these reports dealt with adult cases. The authors conducted agglutination tests on 21 children's dysentery cases, upon the expectation of finding some changes in the agglutination titres, which might be specific.
Serum used was collected on the day of hospitalization and on the 7th, 14th and 21st day of the dysentery, in each case.
Results were follows:
1) Generally, agglutination titres showed maximum value in the second week.
2) The average maximum agglutination titre of the isolated bacilli was 1: 270.
3) The agglutination titre of the isolated bacilli and the respective standard strains corresponding to the isolated bacilli rose in proportion.
4) There were no isolated bacilli, corresponding to the respective standard strains, which gave special increase in the agglutination titres.
5) There was no effect on the agglutination due to the common structure antigen, according to the international classification.
The authors came to the conclusion that it is difficult to suppose the types of infecting Shigella from the agglutination tests in the dysentery of children.View full abstractDownload PDF (547K) -
