JOURNAL FREE ACCESS(1) The pneumo-retroperitoneum by the retrorectal route was applied in 60 cases. This procedure is safe, has great diagnostic value, and its technique is simple. The concurrent use of this method with the pyelography enhances the diagnostic possibilities to an extent that is unobtainable when either method is used alone and at separate time.
An application of the commonly encountered variants has been fairly well established. Criteria for the more accurate diagnosis of certain renal, adrenal and retroperitoneal lesions are now available. Its inherent diagnostic possibilities encourage the belief that it will prove increasingly valuable with continued use.
(2) A new method of the pneumo-radiography of prostate “pneumo-periprostatography” was performed in about 80 cases. The injectitn of oxygen into the periprostatic cavity is carried out by the route along ductus deference. The posterior surface of prostate was revealed for the first time by this method. This procedure is also safe and its technique is simple.
The shadows of prostate revealed by this method are as follows: In young adult it is about rectangle and is divided into left and right halves by median ditch. In old man it becomes oval. And in the prostatic hypertrophy it is deformed and enlarged. Sometimes it becomes obscure. The shadow of median ditch disappears.View full abstractDownload PDF (13662K) -
THE I REPORT, LEUCOCYTES AND SERUM PHOSPHATASES IN NORMAL HUMAN BLOODTatsuyoshi Arao1955 Volume 46 Issue 9 Pages 623-629

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe phosphatase reactions of leucocytes in peripheral blood smears of normal adults (male 14 cases, female 12 cases), were investigated by lead method of Takeuchi et al. for acid phosphatase (substrate: β-sodium grycerophosphate, pH 5.6 by Michaelis' puffer solution), and by silver method of Takeuchi et al, for alkaline phosphatase (substrate: β-sodium grycerophosphate, pH 9.3 by Sörensen's puffer solution). Both acid and alkaline phosphatase reactions appeared mainly in protoplasma of neutrophilic leucocytes. The positive reactions in neutrophilic leucocytes was shown by (-), (+), (++) and (+++). Leucocytes showing strong (+++) positive reaction was not observed in male (14 cases) or in female (12 cases). The positive reaction of acid phosphatase in leucocytes in peripheral blood was 80.5±3.7%, and the leucocytes of (++) and (+++) degree positive was 1.4±1.0%. The positive reaction of alkaline phosphatase was 75.6±5.2% of leucocytes, and leucocytes of (++) and (+++) degree positive was 0.6±0.7% In female (12 cases), the positive reaction of acid phosphatase of leucocytes was 80.3±5.1% and the percentage of leucocytes showing (++) and (+++) positive reaction was 1.7±1.2%. The percentage of leucocytes showing the positive reaction of alkaline phosphatase was 70.6±3.9% and the leucocytes of (++) and (+++) positive reaction was 1.6±1.2%.
The acid and alkaline phosphatase activity of the serum wes also determined by Bodansky's modification in 11 normal adults.
The phosphatase activity in the acid range of pH 5.0 was 1.05±0.46 B. U. (Bodansky's unit), and the value in the alkaline range of pH 9.3 was 2.09±0.41 B. U. (stocastical rate: 5%).View full abstractDownload PDF (1111K) -
THE II REPORT, PHOSPHATASES OF LEUCOCYTES AND SERUM IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD IN UROGENITAL TUBERCULOSISTatsuyoshi Arao1955 Volume 46 Issue 9 Pages 630-638

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe acid and alkaline phosphatase reactions of neutrophilic leucocytes in peripheral blood smears were observed in 15 cases of renal tuberculosis, 14 cases of tuberculosis of epididymis, and 9 cases of urolithiasis, using the methods of Takeuchi et al. (pH 5.6 and pH 9.3). The acid and alkaline phosphtase activity in renal tuberculosis (9 cases) and urolithiasis etc. were determined by Bodansky modified method (pH 5.0 and pH 9.3).
1) In the majority of the renal tuberculosis, the acid and alkaline phosphatase of leucocytes in peripheral blood increased considerably. In cases complicated by pulmonal and prostatic tuberculosis, the increase of leucocytes phosphatases was more prominent than in cases without these complications. In many cases of tuberculosis of epididymis, the phosphase reactions of leucocytes were also more marked. On the other hand, the phosphatase reactions of leucocytes showed normal values in cases of urolithiasis.
2) After the nephrectomy in renal tuberculosis, leucocytes in peripheral blood showed temporarily a remarkable increase of these phosphatases. These phosphatases in leucocytes, however, decreased gradually from 3 days after operation, and after 3 weeks these reactions became about normal.
3) In one case of tuberculosis of the remaining kidney, the phosphatase reactions of leucocytes gradually increased with fluctuation reaching a very high point just before death.
4) In the urogenital tubereculosis, the phosphatase activity of serum had normal values excepting the few cases that showed slight increase of the phosphatase activity of serum.View full abstractDownload PDF (1483K) -
THE III REPORT, PHOSPHATASES OF LEUCOCYTES AND SERUM IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD IN PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY AND GENITOURINARY TUMORTatsuyoshi Arao1955 Volume 46 Issue 9 Pages 639-649
Published: 1955
Released on J-STAGE: July 23, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe acid and alkaline phosphatase reactions of neutrophilic leucocytes in peripheral blood smears were investigated histochemieally in 18 cases of prostatic hypertrophy, 9 cases of prostatic tumor and 16 cases of bladder carcinoma, and the acid and alkaline phosphatase activities determined chemically.
1) The acid and alkaline phosphatases of leucocytes in prostatic hypertrophy generally showed normal values. In prostatic hypertrophy with complications of serious inflamations or abuormal metabolism, however, the increasing of phosphatase content in leucocytes were observed.
2) In some cases of advanced prostatic carcinoma, the acid and alkaline phosphatase activity of serum and the phosphatase reactions of leucocytes increased together.
3) In the prostatic carcinoma treated with castration or high unit estrogenic hormonal the rapy, the remission of clinical symptoms was recognized, and in half of the cases, the acid phosphatase activity of serum and the phosphatase reactions of leucocytes became normal simultaneously.
4) The acid phosphatase activity of serum in cases operated with total prostatectomy did not show any recognizable change. This seems to suggest that there were some remaining carcinoma or metastases.
5) The phosphatase activity of serum in cases of bladder carcinoma generally had normal values, and the phosphatase reactions of leucocytes were intensified in many cases of advanced bladder carcinoma.
6) It is considered that the increase of phosphatases in leucocytes in these cases was caused by complications of inflamatory lesions, and the decrease of the phosphatase in leucocytes followed. the recovery of such complications. The phosphatase of leucocytes seems to have very intimate relations with inflamatory or carcinomatous lesions.View full abstractDownload PDF (1640K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSI report an interesting case of anuria due to metastatic carcinoma of the ureters.
A female, 41 years of age, was admitted to our clinic with chief complaint of anuria which had been lasting for 5 days. Uretercatheterism was tried. It was done with great difficulty; and yet it was scarcely possible to insert the catheter into the left ureter. After all, no urine was obtained. Then, nephrostomy and decapsulation was done. At that time, I noticed that the peritoneum, colon, ovariums and uterus clearly showed carcinomatous changes and the ureters presented periureteral mass. After 37 days, she died of shock caused by acute abdominal pain. An autopsy revealed that the primary lesion was the cancer in the stomach, and that the actual cause of her death had been its perforation.
This is a rare case of gastric cancer. There are very few cases like that, so I have made researches in these cases seeking for some examples in domestic and foreign references.View full abstractDownload PDF (2036K)
