Hearing and tinnitus of 176 patients (in 76 of them, deafness was objectively observed) to whom SM was injected, were observed and the result was as follows
1) There was no relation between auditory disturbance revelation ratio and age.
2) Auditory disturbances occurred most frequently in the daily injected, and developed often into severer deafness even after the stop of SM-injection.
3) In many of the twice in week injected, auditory disturbances made no further progress after the stop of SM-use.
4) Only 4 in all instances had a dip-type.
5) Impaired patients had frequently no tinnitus (ca. 22.4%), while 1/3 of tinnitus-troublers had no hearing loss.
6) Tinnitus was of various types, but the high-pitched tinnitus was most frequent.
Through the above clinical observation, c⁵ dip and schema of the development of hearing impairment by Takafuji et al were inspected. Further, from temporal by-effects and changes in peripheral blood-vessel etc., the problem of the individual differences in disturbance occurrence and constitution has been mentioned.

The author reported one rarely case of large Lipoangiom at the right auricule and its neighbourhood in a 21 years old woman.
It was healed by a surgical resection.
Concerning its pathogenesis, I was suggested that the compression orfriction of the auricule to the pillow during 7 years sickbedding and the irritation by the discharge of the chronic otitis media were one art of the causative growing factor of this growth.

I Studied on Ménière's disease with hearing disorders and got the results as follows ; In cases of 134 Ménière's disease, perception deafness for low tones was observed in 12 cases, 9. 0%. In cases of early stage within one year from the beginning of illness, the deafness was 7 in 58 cases, 12. 1%. All of perception deafness for low tones was not always the characteristic finding of Ménière's disease, but in 42 cases of perception deafness for low tones we observed, 12 was Ménière's disease. Many of them, cochlear deafness was observed in low tones type and retrocochlear deafness was also pointed out in cases without vertigo.

Der Patient, ein 41 jähriger Mann, hatte schon seit seiner Kindzeit die leichte Rötung der linken Ohrmuschel bemerkt. Vor 12 Jahren wihrend seines Gefängnislebens in Sibirien bekam er eine Brausche der linken Ohrmuschel mit einem Holz und danach war die Ohrmuschel allmählich bis zur Mannesfaustgrösse höckerig angeschwollen. Das Probestück erwies sich durch die histologische Untersuchung als polymorphzelliges Sarkom.
Der Patient wurde durch die Exstirpation des Ohrmuscheltumors als ganzes und die totale Exstirpation der regionären Halslymphknoten (radical neck dissection), in denen die Verfasser mikroskopisch Sarkomzellen konstratierten, ohne den narbigen Verschluss des äusseren Gehörganges zur Abheilung gebracht.
Die Verfasser erörtern eingehend tuber die Operationsbefunde, die histologischen Befunde und die Literatur, und betonen, dass sogar das Sarkom der Ohrmuschel in die Halslymphknoten die Metastasen setzen kann.

Carzinophillin was administered intravenously and locally for two cases of maxillary cancer, which have relapsed after the total extirpation of maxilla and have already falled the end stage.
And then, their subjective symptom recovered transitorily and we recognized the change so-called a local healing, that is necrosis, softening, melting and reduction of the tumor.
Moreover, both of two cases had no side-effects. But this agent didn't brought to the complete cure and patients were dead at last.
By these experience, we found the effectiveness of this agent given early with the high concentration and the progress made us imagined the aquisition of the resistance of cancer cell for this agent.
Finally, it is seemed that it brings to the more advanced therapeutic result for maxillary cancer to use positively this agent combined with another chemotherapy or radiotherapy as complementary means of the postoperative treatment.

A case of a giant mucocele of frontal sinus was reported that measured 9.5×11.5×3.2cm in outside dimension and about 250 cc in capacity.
The patient, a man aged 69, that has struck the left frontal region but showed no symptom for 9 years, complained of a gradual swelling in its part started from 6 years ago.
It was interesting that the patient has had no remarkable subjective symptom as headache etc, in spite of the exposure of the meninges in the size of a hen's egg for pressure and erosive action of its mucocele to a cranium, and then, that didn't has been recognized any eye pressure symptom.

The author reports a case of benign tumor which originated at the posterior end of the nasal septum. The tumor was diagnosed later by the postoperative histological examination.
There are very few cases of adenofibroma mentioned in the records occurring in the nasal septum, and the author has proved that this case is one of the rare cases by microscopic study.

Ein 36-jähriger männlicher Fall von malignem Lymphom an den beiden Gaumentonsillen sowie Halslymphdrüsen wurde berichtet.
Wegen des plötzlichen Verlaufes mit der initialen Beteiligung der Diphtherie and des sarkomartigen Gaumentonsillenbefundes war die Diagnose schwer zustellen. Aber danach wurde es durch die Metastase zu subserosen Lymphdrusen an der Blinddarmgegend als malignes Lymphom deutlich geworden.
Während ohne Erfolg durch die Körperhöhlenröhrenbestrahlung, zeigte es ein gute Resultat mit der Bestrahlung zur Seitenhalsgegend. Daraus wurde es vermutet class die Halslymphdrüse ein primäre Herd ist. Verfasser stellte Betrachtungen uber diesen Pathogenesenmechanismus an, dass die Diphtherie auf Basis des latenten Lymphomes einen Anstoss zu Tumorwachstum gab.

The authors experienced a case of speaking difficulty caused by the large growth of dermoid cyst which has been believed to be a rare disease as the cysted tumor in oral cavity.
Speaking examination before and after the extirpation, the examination of the teeth's state, chemical and histological observation of its content were carefully done with the bibliographical studies.
The histological views of the cyst wall were of pavement epithelium and in between, sebaceous glands existed. The hair or sweat gland couldn't be observed. The chemical obsrvation of the cyst content proved mainly the protein and no other particular substance was found. From those findings, it was thought this case was corresponding to Submentosublingual epidermoid cyst.

A 58 year-old male made a deglutition of 4 hooked artificial teeth made of synthetic resin along with mochi (rice cake). The trial to take it out under esophagoscope from the thoracic esophagus was not successful. And it made an abscess in surrounding region, causing severe symptoms. Therefore, esophageal incision was performed and the foreign body was removed. It is conceivable, in the dangerous case which might cause severe complication by the violent removal of foreign body under autoscope, it is better to perform the esophageal incision especially when the body lies in the cervic region of the esophagus.

According to the Hallpike's technique, 30 normal individuals were examined, and the examinations were repeated at intervals of two days with 14 of them.
In order to decide the limit of physiological deviation in the calorigram thus obtained, we calculated the rejection limit of each value (Table 3).
As shown in the table, the width of limits is large, and so, even though canal paresis and directional preponderance are diagnosed by the combination of each value, some figures can be considered as the reverse relationship, i. e., the hypersensitivity of the other side against canal pasesis, and the hyposensitivity to the other side against directional preponderance.
Therefore, it is important to estimate the vestibular function not by the calorigram merely, but by the results of other examinations together with it.
From the results of repeated examinations, we could ascertain that there is no necessity to take the response decline into consideration, and that the results in this examination are reproducible.
