JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA study was made on the influence of Diamox (acetazolamide sodium) upon inner ear tissue and inner ear fluid, for this drug has been in use for glaucoma for its depressive effect upon the intraocular pressure.
On an assumption of the presence of carbonic anhydrase in stria vascularis, widely recognized site of secretion of endolymph, histochemical demonstration of the enzyme was also attempted by modified Hausler's method.
Materials used were human kidneys and adult normal guinea pigs and rats.
Vital transfusion fixative specimen of inner ear of adult normal guinea pigs were made 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours respectively after the injection of 100 mg Kg of acetazolamide sodium.
One-hour specimen showed marked dilation of capillaries of stria vascularis and twelve-hour specimen, depression of Reissner's membrane.
Decrease of sodium in endolymph was noted one hour after the injection of the substance.
When 20 micron thick, non-decalcified frozen section of cochlea, placed on a eolodium menbrane, was free floated on the surface of the incubation medium according to Hausler's method, stria vascularis was positively stained to indicate the presence of carbonic anhydrase.
The same method also demonstrated the activity of carbonic anhydrase along the inner border or brush border of urinary tubule endothelia of human kidney as well as in the proximal urinary tubule endothelia of normal adult rat and guinea pig.View full abstractDownload PDF (3372K) -
Especially Predonin MedicationISAO TAKIMOTO1963 Volume 66 Issue 5 Pages 671-674

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTube inflation, ear drum puncture and cepharanthin injection were carried out in 22 cases. of so-called otitis media exsudativa.
But when these forms of treatment ineffective, rredonin was administered as antiexsudative or antiallergic agent and a more effective results were obtained.
The experience of the author indicates that predonin is an effective method in cases of repeated exsudation.View full abstractDownload PDF (273K) -
Rep. 3: Observations of the functional status of the autonomic nerve and peripheral vascular circulation in the workers under noisy environmentsTOSIHIKO YOKOYAMA1963 Volume 66 Issue 5 Pages 675-707

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSVarious disturbances may be caused in the orgainc bodies staying in unhealthy environments. Static and dynamic general status of the autonomic nerve and, moreover, peripheral vasomotor function in exposure of a noise was studied.
38 workers with hearing-disorders due to the stry were observed. The following results were obtained.
A. The functional status of the autonmic nerve,
Observations in static status were made as to the following five subjects : sublingual temperature, cardiac beat intervals, salivary secretion, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. No significant differ ences between the workers under noisy environments and their controls groups were noted.
Observations in dynamic status were studied by mecholyl test.
The cases of the S-type by Suwa that have the stendency of the sympathetic predominance were not observed in the control group, but they were een in 23.3% before labour, and in 41.0% after labour in the workers in noisy industries. The tendency markedly increased in the progress of years of the service.
B. The functional status of peripheral vascular circulation photo-electric plethysmography by mecholyl stress was pefomed the skin capilly figures at nail edge before and after the labour was observed.
The results showed that vasoconstriction was considerably more prominent in the workers under noisy environments than their control group.
From the above-mentioned findings, it was considered that workers under noisy environments have a tendency of sympathetic the predominance and vasoconstriction, but appears only by stress caused by breaking of homeostasis of the living body.View full abstractDownload PDF (6568K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this paper is to present a surgical method which is applicable for the treatment of atrophic rhinitis. The method consists of taking out the mucous membrane from the maxillary sinus and transplanting the mucous membrane freely to the inferior turbinate, the floor of the nasal cavity and the septum. The mucous membrane is separated carefully from the maxillary sinus by the Caldwell-Luc's method. The epithelial surface of the inferior turbinate and, if necessary, of the floor of the nasal cavity and of the septum are freshened by curettage. The mucous membranes in moderate size and shape are then put on the fresh wounds in the nasal cavity and fixed by suture and tam-ponade.
After an interval of about 7 days the tampon is removed. The free mucous membrane graft readily adheres and the inferior turbinate becomes swollen and the nasal cavity becomes narrow. Edema and superficial crust which are found on the free graft after the operation in some cases disappear spontaneously in the period of 3 to 5 weeks.
This operation brings about total absence or diminution of stinking smell, crusting, nasal discharge, nasal obstruction and headache in many cases.
This surgical method is applicable alone or also in combination with some other technique such as submucosal bone graft or insertion of acrylic implant.View full abstractDownload PDF (782K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1) The sensitivity to 5 antibiotics, several biological properties, and the phage-typing were studied on 213 coagulase-positive strains of the staphylococci which were isolated from otorhinolaryn gological patients. 151 strains of staphylococci showed lysis (70%) in the phage-typing and most of these were phage-type I+III.
2) In the strains resistant to 5 antibiotics, phage-types I+III were found more frequently. These were most frequently found in Penicillinresistant strains. In the case of double resistant strains, there were many strains impossible of phagetyping, but in those strains where phage-typing was possible, phage-type III was most common in both PC, SM resistant and PC, TC resistant strains. Moreover, phage-type II was not found in these strains.
3) In the relation between disease and phagetyping many phage-type III were found but few phage-type II. Pherhaps, this was due to the fact that the opportunity of intrahospital staphylococci infection was frequent. In the strains isolated from ozaena, there were more type II and I than type III.
4) In regard to staphylococci which were isolated from the same patient before and after operation, the examination of change in resistance to antibiotics and phage-typing revealed that strains with phage-type III and PC-resistant hospital staphylococci were found frequently in post-operation strains. Thus, the tendency of intrahospital infection was confirmed.
5) As a result of taking continuous bacterial culture from the isolated strains of the same patients and using antibiotics, explanation was offered by referring to actual cases in which changes in resistance were found in the isolated strains. It is believed that this is due to cross-infection of hospital staphylococci. It was reconfirmed that antibiotics sensitivity should be measured frequently in the case of chemotherapy.View full abstractDownload PDF (1048K)
