    Instead of direct determinations of Red Cell Na and K, indirect determinations of Red Cell Na and K were carried out and their levels were compared with many clinical signs and functional tests of the patients. As expected, an increase of Red Cell Na was observed mainly in such diseases as congestive heart failure and various renal diseases. An increase of venous pressure and a decrease of Na-Clearance, GFR and RPF were also demonstrated in the above-mentioned disease-groups and the severity of these changes paralleled well with an increase of Red Cell Na. Red Cell K, on the contrary, remained relatively constant when compared with Red Cell Na. It seemed that the change of Red Cell K may be related to the protein metabolism of the body.

  • Relation between the Cold Pressor Test and Valsalva Response : EFFECT OF THE FUNCTIONAL DISTURBANCE OF THE SPINAL AUTONOMIC SYSTEM UPON THE COLD PRESSOR TEST AND VASALVA RESPONSE

    The author studied the phenomenon of the transient elevation of blood pressure immediately following the cessation of a forced expiration in manners of Valsalva maneuver. Within one and the same individual the observed magnitude of Valsalva pressor response was proportional to the pressure of forced expiration, but this relation did not hold when results in different subjects were compared. There were suggestive indications that the Valsalva pressor response was modified in certain individuals by the existence of functional alterations in the autonomic nervous system, possibly such as those caused by the subclinical adhesive arachnoiditis cerebrospinalis.

    In this report we present a case of primary pulmonary hypertension associated with giant thrombus of the right main pulmonary artery confirmed by autopsy. The patient had had signs and symptoms probably due to slight right heart failure for the past 5 years, then developed exertional dyspnea evidently indicating the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension 2 years ago. Microscopic examination revealed primary pulmonary hypertension with occlusive vascular changes in the muscular pulmonary arteries and arterioles of both lungs. The authors emphasize that, when there is a giant thrombus of the main pulmonary arteries, attention should be paid to the presence of striking vascular changes in the muscular pulmonary arteries and arterioles.
