REPORT I; CLINICAL STUDIES ON VASECTOMYShinzi Kodama1958 Volume 49 Issue 2 Pages 97-108
Published: 1958
Released on J-STAGE: July 23, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe author examined the sexual life and general condition of 312 persons who had passed 20 days to 5 years after a vasectomy for sterility. In some of them 17-Ketosteroids in urine, quantity of semen and fructose in semen were measured, and histological and histochemical investigation of the testis was performed also.
1) The main reasons for the vasectomy were weakness of their wives (46.2%), economical reasons (23.1%) and birth control (20.2%). There is little influence by the vasectomy on such sexual conditions as quantity of semination, the time from coitus to semination, sexual feeling, sexual livido, strength of erection, as well as such systemic conditions as body weight, general condition, physical and mental labor force, and sleeping. About 98% of them were satisfied by the surgery.
As to the sexual feeling and sexual libido, many of them complained of an increase for a few years after operation.
The increase in the sexual feeling, sexual libido and the strength of erection was more evident in young people than in aged.
2) The average value of 17-Ketosteroids in urine was 8.95±3.63mg/day in the patients and it was much the same with the average of 27 normal controls (9.87±2.12mg/day).
3) The average value of one ejaculation in 17 cases 41 months after the operation was 1. 806±0.33cc. (2.23±0.33cc. on the average in 21 normal controls) and the average value of fructose in the semen was 180.8±52.6mg/dl (235.9±28.6mg/dl on the average in 21 controls) and, therefore, there seemed to have been little change in these factors by the surgery.
4) The biopsy of testis on 13 cases from 20 days to 40 months after vasectomy showed a decrement in the spermatogenesis, an incrassation of the basement membrane of seminiferous tubule, a proliferation and fibrous change of the interstitial connective tissue, a hyperplasia of the interstitial cells, and a drop of phosphatase activity in the seminiferous tubule.
From these results, it was supposed that the hormone metabolism, sexual life and general condition of body was little influenced by the vasectomy.View full abstractDownload PDF (5224K) -

Part III. Change of Kidney Polysaccharide on NephrotuberculosisKuniaki Nakamura1958 Volume 49 Issue 2 Pages 132-137
Published: 1958
Released on J-STAGE: July 23, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSI. I injected B. tuberculosis (H37Rv) directly into the renal parenchymal substance of full-grown rabbits in order to inquire into the increase and decrease of the polysaccharide seen in the experimental rabbits' renal tuberculosis.
The most outstanding change is that as compared with normal kidneys, the PAS positive substance has greatly decreased.
In the case of normal kidneys, the PAS positive substance exists on 1) basmentmembranes of blood vessels, 2) basmentmembranes of renal tubules, 3) free rand of renal tubules epithelium, on the other hand in the case of renal tuberculosis, the PAS positive substance has decreased greatly on 2) and 3) free rand of renal tubules epithlium, sometimes it has entirely disappeared.
II. I have studied the degree of polysaccharide by employing the Lillie-PAS-method in the kidney extracted from the cases of renal tuberculosis with or without chemotherapy.
i.) Of the group with chemotherapeutical treatment, the PAS positive substance has conspicuously disappeared on the part affected by tuberculosis, while the heavily stained PAS positive substance exists on the rand of enlarged and destracted renal tubules seen in the focus or around the focus of renal tubules.
ii.) On the kidneys not treated with chemotherapy, the PAS positive substance has also greatly deceased or disappeared, the places decreased being the same as those mentioned above.
When these two groups are compared, the great difference lies in the fact that in the case of kidneys treated with chemotherapy, the disappearance of the PAS positive substance is comparatively localized, while in the other group, it is diffuse.View full abstractDownload PDF (6570K) -

STATISTICAL OBSERVATION ON TUMORS OF THE SPERMATIC CORDShigeyoshi Namiki, Haruo Hisazumi1958 Volume 49 Issue 2 Pages 153-157
Published: 1958
Released on J-STAGE: July 23, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA case of fibroma of the spermatic cord is presented.
A 32 year-old man was admitted on March 29, 1957, complaining of an enlarged, painless swelling in the right scrotum.
Examination revealed a smooth, solid, nontender, movable tumor, which was attached to the spermatic cord by a bundle.
Gross specimen showed a greyish white, ovoid mass 7×4×2.5cm, in upper part had a fibrous bundle. Histologically, the tumor was composed of dense fibrous tissues with proliferated fibroblasts and collagen fibers, some showing hyalin degeneration. Diagnosis was fibroma durum.
In Japan, approximately 31 cases of tumors of the spermatic cord have been reported, while fibroma was only 1 case reported by Yamafuji in 1955.View full abstractDownload PDF (2995K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSome experts in the field of tuberculosis have expressed that prolonged use of ACTH and Cortisone may cause a deleterious reaction in the bodies of tuberculous patients.
However, the authors recently experienced that in case of bilateral renal uberculosis, use of these hormones proved satisfactory therapeutic effect, which was confirmed by improvement in the blood chemistories, as well as the symptom masking effect. We have come to consider that the use of ACTH and Cortisone may be recommended justifiably upon patients in adrenal insufficiency even in the presence of tuberculosis.View full abstractDownload PDF (475K)
