    In order to determine the role of the catecholamines in cardiac failure, we considered the urinary excretion of catecholamines on cardiac patients suffering from acquired valvular disease.
    Among those who were admitted to the ward of Kobe Medical College Hospital, 178 patients with the congestive cardiac failure were chosen. These patients have been divided into four groups according to the criteria of New York Heart Association. Values of both urinary adrenaline and noradrenaline were progressively increased from grade I to grade III of congestive heart failure and reduced in grade IV but not to the normal range.
    Urinary excretion of both adrenaline and noradrenaline had increased when the conditions were improved from grade IV to grade III and reduced with further restoration from grade III to grade II. When the conditions took a turn for the worse, urinary excretion of active catechols varied inversely.
    The measurements of urinary active catechols were made on every 5 or 6 hour urine during the course of the rapid digitalization and compared with some clinical features.
    Some comments were tried on the significance of urinary excretion of active catechols.

    The severity of diffuse glomerulonephritis may be evaluated by the data of various kidney function tests in reference to other clinical data, and prospective estimation on the prognosis of the patient might be made. Although a variety of complicated factors makes it difficult, informations from the renal functional status might provide an essential clue for evaluating the prognosis of the patient. However, seldom investigations have provided an information on prognostic implications of function tests, or the prognostic features of the patient based on a severity figure of the renal function. In this study, an investigation was made to evaluate the prognostic implications of practically used function tests in a series of unselected consecutive hospitalized patients with diffuse glomerulonephritis. The survival patterns of the patients were analysed based on the substantial initial severities of function tests at the admission, such as Fishberg's concentration test, PSP test, serum NPN level, glomerular filtration rate, and renal blood flow.

    Diagnosis of the atherosclerosis is not yet easy nowadays. Author thinks there are abnormal metabolisms of the lipids as a background of the atherosclerosis. Adopting the measuring of cholesterol in β-lipoprotein fraction as a index of this disease, author measured cholesterol concentration in β-fraction after paper-electrophoresis of the serum, and concluded that the combination of the ratio of cholesterol in β-fraction to total cholesterol and the level of cholesterol in β-fraction is useful for diagnosis of this disease.

    The present study is undertaken with electron microscopic technique in order to investigate the effect of dietary magnesium and acute hypercholesterolemia on the early lesions of aorta of rabbits.
    Following results were obtained: the initial alteration of athero-sclerosis was characterized as the swelling of subintimal space, the fragmentation of internal elastic lamina and the migration of some smooth muscle cells. Though the clear effect of dietary magnesium on the development of atherosclerosis could not be obtained, the endoplasmic reticulum of endothelial cells of aorta tended to expand more frequently in rabbits fed a magnesium deficient diet.

    Experimental renal hypertension was produced in the rabbit by a modified Goldblatt's technic. The small arteries and arterioles in the brain and heart were morphologically estimated and “ratio of wall to diameter” of various sizes of vessels was calculated and plotted on a semilogarithmic chart. Thus a mean curve pattern of ratios of wall to diameter along the course of arterioles (arteriolar profile chart) was obtained. These patterns of ratios of “arteriolar profiles” were correlated to the levels of blood pressure. Hypertensive arteriolar reaction was featured by an increase in the ratios of wall to diameter in vessels of some 100μ. in diameter. This was, however, reversed by effective hypotensive therapy.
    Cerebral hemorrhage was seen only in the hypertensive non-treated animals. Possible relationship between arteriolar thickening and cerebral hemorrhage was postulated.
