    The etiology of infantile anal fistula is quite different from that of adult because the anus is still developing. It is (1) a subcutaneous fistula around the sphincter, (2) found always bilaterally and (3) more frequently in boys. It seems to be caused by the pressure of feces put to the narrow sphincter with incomplete contractibility. As the anus is moistened by evacuation all the time, there are often apt to be subjected to recurrences.
    No detailed report on its treatment have appeared since Ikeuchi's in 1953. This paper deals with two cases of infantile anal fistula successfully treated by small incision combined with antibiotics.

    The depolymerization of connective tissue was proved histochemically in scurvy, and the fluctuation of serum glycoprotein was referred to the state of ground substance in connective tissue. Therefore serum glycoprotein is expected to increase in scurvy.
    It is generally believed that the blood level of calcium does not change, but the clotting time is either not changed or is slightly increased in scurvy. The mechanism of coagulation is still obscure, ionized calcium is considered to be the primary factor involved in the coagulation mechanism. The intimate relationship between calcium and citrate may suggest the change of serum citrate in scurvy.
    For this reason, the present author has undertaken a experiment in order to clarify the obscure point involved, and following result was obtained.
    The level of serum glycoproteins (expressed as tyrosine) and citric acid was significantly elevated in scurvy of guinea pigs.

    1. The development of specific and nonspecific cholinesterase (ChE) has been studied manometorically in brain and liver of the human fetus and the chick as their specific sub-strates, using Acetylcholine, Acetyl-β-Methylcholine and Benzoylcholine.
    2. Specific ChE activity increased during the antenatal development in the human fetus, however, it decreased during the postnatal development in the chick brain.
    3. Nonspecific ChE activity increased during the antenatal development in the human fetus and the postnatal development in the chick liver.
    4. These two enzymes were completely different in character, and the pattern of their development was also quite different.

    It is well known that facilitation or inhibition in spinal reflex occured usually which shows the participation of wide region of the spinal cord in the single spinal reflx.
    In this experiment, the upper parts of the spinal cord of Bufo ulgaris or Rana nigromaculata were disected, and the reflex discharges were tested at the ventral root of lower segment. It was elucidated that the reflex discharges were strengthened or weakened following disection of the spinal cord. The strength of facilitation or inhibition appeared in the reflex were changed occording to the position of disection in the spiel cord.
    From these facts, it was concluded that interneurons which took part in the facilitation or inhibition, distributed in wide region in the entire spinal cord.

    M-type variants (Murase) were isolated from the strain 396 of Salm. enteritidis by old broth culture method. Strain mt1, was isolated from the daughter colony of M type variant, strain mt2 was isolated from that of mt1 and strain mt3 was isolated from that of mt2. Strain mt4 was isolated from the tube of mt3 cultured in galactose peptone water for one week and failed to ferment it. Galactose sensitivity of those mt strains was investigated by the paper disk method.
    Those which have demonstrated full resistance to galactose were called MT. As for mode of the acquisition of resistance, it can be said there are two ways that some acquire full resistance by a single step and the others by several steps. Generally speaking, the acquistion of galactose resistance by mt strains seem to belong to the streptomycin type of Demerec.
    With regard to antibotics, it is highly difficult to develope sensible strains by the use of an excessively high concentration. While, in the present study, in spite of the use of galactose in such a high concentration of 5, 000γ/cc, both sensible M-type variants and resistant daughter mt can grow on it.
    Some of the deep-cultured colonies were found to consist of full resistant bacteria.
    In case of antibiotics, sensible strains are wild strains and resistant ones are those which likely developed variation in some charactors. On the other hand, galactose sensible strains discussed in the prepent study are variants at the beginning and the resistant strains are rather those reversing to the original from it. Accordingly, it can be said that similar acquisition of resistance was confirmed to follow the variation to reverse direction suggesting the presence of some rules in the hereditary processes related with the acquisition of resistance to the other chemical agents.

    Daughter strains with increasing galactose resistance were isolated from the M-type variant of Salm. eteritidis (strain 396) by daughter colony producing method through the cultivation on galactose-Endo plates. They were named as mtl, mt2, mt3, mt4 and the details of which were already reported in the previous paper. Each of the mt strains was. subjected to the dilution culture in galactose broth.
    As the result of the present investigation, galactose weakly fermenting WRT of Yamamoto, were isolated from the cultures of MT-like colonies. Exceptionally, RT of Fukutome et al. was also isolated on some occasions.
    Mucoid variant mtl was newly isolated from one of the mt1 strains and the WRT which was derived from the mucoid variant was not seemd mucoid.
    Distinguished difference were observed between mt and WRT group in the oxgen. consumption which was measured by warburg's apparatus.
    Strain mt's showed the similar biological characters to the original. Most of mt1 strains, like the variant of M-type, were highly susceptible to galactose and lactose. WRT was different from mt's on the point that it ferments galactose.

    1) Stock cultured strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var, homnis was isolated from sputum. The sensitive or resistant strain to INH, were treated with 4% NaOH and then inoculated on the media containing 3% KH2PO4. The number of colonies observed was not related to the sensitivity or the grade of resistance of the strains. The same result was obtained in case of 4% H2SO4 treatment, but their population increased when the latter treatment was employed.
    2) The strains and sputum were treated with 4% NaOH and were inoculated on the pyruvic acid containing media and the modified III Kirchner agar media. The colonial populations on pyruvic acid containing media were generally greater than those on 3% KH2PO4 media. The populations on the modified Kirchner agar media were about the same as those on 3% KH2PO4 media.

    1) The resistivity to INH of the INH resistant bacteria which isolated from sputum were examined in several generation. Their resistivity varied.
    2) INH resistant strains and sputum were used. They were inoculated directly or after neutralization of the sputum or the treatment with 4% NaOH or 4% H2SO4 on the INH resistance testing media, consisted of 1% KH2PO4 media, 3% KH2PO4 media and 3% Na2HPO4 media. The highest resistance values were obtained on 3% Na2HPO4 (pH after inoculation: 6.8) .
    3) The sputum was inoculated on the resistance testing media, consisted of 1% KH2PO4 media, 3% KH2PO4 media and 3% Na2HPO4 media. The resistance decreased in the order of 1% KH2PO4 media (pH 7.0), 3% KH2PO4 media (pH 6.4) and 3% Na2HPO4 media (pH 7.9) .
    4) The sputum was cultured on resistance testing media, consisted of 3% KH2PO4 media and modifyed III Kirchner agar media. The higher resistance values were obtained on the modifyed III Kirchner agar media. Non of the strains with the highest resistance grew only in the modifyed Kirchner media.
