    Many reports about median cyst have been published. The authors experienced recently a case of median cyst which was a 37-year-old male suffering from pain in swallowing and swelling of the anterior neck. There were some interesting symptoms and difficulties in diagnosis in this case, for this patient was relatively elder and had pharyngitis as a complication.

    Dysphonia hysterica in a woman, aged 54, followed up by means of the observation of the laryngeal figures with the electromyography of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles in the stadium of the hysteric attack and the interval was reported. In the hysteric attack, the disharmony was recognized between the paralyzed vocal chord and the electromyographic findings about the intrinsic laryngeal muscles, and the intrinsic laryngeal muscles showed the continuous activity keeping up a certain musclar tonus, regardless of the respiration and utterance.

    1. The patient was a two year-old girl. This Tumor was a polypoid lipoma which was attached to the uvula with a stalk, and was removed easily by a snare.
    2. The tumor had its base attached to the base of the uvula and its head was in the hypopharynx. It appeared into the oral cavity only with coughing. There was no accompanying symptom.
    3. The lipoma arising at the base of the uvula is rare and had not been reported in Japan.

    The satisfactory clinical results in view of shortening the bleeding time and reducing the bleeding volume were obtained in 28 cases of the radical operation for chronic sinusitis, 36 cases of tonsillectomies and adenotomies and 16 cases of normal persons, respectively, administered by intramuscular injection of Dicynone, which was offered by Torii & Co, Ltd., and no side effects were noted.
    It was assumed that Dicynone ranks among the best antihaemorrhagic agent now at the service of the otorhinolaryngologist.

    The therapeutic effects of “Predex” solution were tested in 5 patients with varying otomycosis.
    1. In all 5 cases, subjective symptoms which had been present for several months to several years, disappeared, and the patients recovered completely.
    2. “Predex” solution was particularly effective to the otomycosis complicated with otitis externa or media.
    3. “Predex” solution killed Aspergillus niger completely within 48 hours.
    4. 5% “Predex” solution acted as mycostatic.
    5. “Predex” solution was fairly well diffusible in agar plate. This suggests that it may penetrate well into the tissue.
    6. No irritable side effects against tissuses were demonstrated.

  • -Effect of Anesthesia-

    Although it is known that electrical activity in five intrinsic laryngeal muscles during respiration is controlled by respiratory center, the effects of anesthesia to laryngeal muscles has not yet been elucidated.
    The present author attempted to make a research on respiratory movement of the larynx in time of anesthesia, observing electromyograms of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles of matured rabbits.
    The results were as follows.:
    According to progress of anesthesia, discharge of the laryngeal muscles showed variable electromyographic pattern in contrast with normal condition.
    The discharge-frequency of anticus was decreased especially during inspiration, while that of posticus was increased during expiration as well as inspiration.
    In view of above findings, it is showed that posticus are more resistant to anesthesia than anticus.
    In other words, inspiratory muscles of larynx are more resistant to paralysis than expiratory muscles as well as other respiratory muscles.

    The innervation of the larynx has been a subject of long contention and consequenty we still don't come to a conclusion about detailed findings of laryngeal paralysis.
    An attempt has been made to observe the movement of the glottis which take place by electrical stimulation of the laryngeal nerves in dog.
    Swallowing was elicited by repetitive stimulation of the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. At this time the glottis closed, and sphincteric closure of the larynx occured. Electromyogram was recorded during deglutition. The adductor musdes showed many large discharges, however, the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle showed small discharges at the same time.
    When the both superior laryngeal nerves were stimulated, the vocal cords elongated and were slightly adducted (paramedian position). This fact indicates that adduction of the vocal cords can be obtained by contraction of the cricothyroid muscles.
    When the both recurrent laryngeal nerves were stimulate at 20/sec. of frequency, abduction of the vorcal cords was observed, and the glottis became wide open (lateral position). If the frequency of stimulation was raised more than 30/sec., the vocal cords were adducted and the glottis was closed. The reason why the laryngeal movement varies according to the frequecy of the stimulation is considerd that tension of the posterior cricoarytenoid becomes already maximum at 20/sec., while more frequencies are needed to get the maximum tension of the adductor muscles.

    Tissue culture was performed by the use of the intracranial part of the internal acoustic nerve and the cochlear nerve in the modiolus, obtained from human fetus 100-150mm in C-R length and newborn kitten, to observe the neuroglia and the spiral ganglion in living state.
    The results were as follows.
    1) From the above descrived materials, typical oligodendroglia and astrocytes were cultivated. Astrocytes consisted of a few fibrous type and chiefly of protoplasmic type. Mixed type or peripheral type of astrocytes occupied the majority of neuroglia which were cultivated from modiolus.
    2) Schwann cells were much more cultivated from the central portion than the peripheral one of the internal acoustic nerve.
    3) Typical microglia was not observed.
    4) The appearance of neurites regenerated from the spiral ganglion was similar to one from the dorsal root ganglion at the same material, but, as for the growingpattern sof neuritis, the former was more inferior to the regeneration force of neurite than the latter at same condition.
