I. STUDIES ON THE CELL GROWTH, THE UTILIZATION AND BIOSYNTHESIS OF AMINOACIDS, AND THE PH OF CULTURE FILTRA TESTOMIO KATAYAMA, SHINICHI TANAKA1954 Volume 29 Issue 11 Pages 427-432

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn the presence of various aminoacids as nitrogen source in Sauton culture, the cell growth rate of tubercle bacillus (avian Jucho strain) and its aminoacids utilization and their biosynthesis were investigated by paper chromatography.
1. In these experiments, no difference between streptomycin resistant strain (R-strain) and its sensitive one (S-strain), were found except in asparagine Sauton culture. In asparagine Sauton culture, S-strain exceeds R-strain in growth rate, and it may be said that the asparaginase activity in R-strain is a little higher than in S-strain.
2. The tubercle bacillus markedly utilizes L-asparagine, L-alanine, L-histidine, and L-arginine, and moderately L-aspartic acid, D-alanine, L- and D-glutamic acid, and glycine. DL-serine and DL-phenylalanine were little effective as its nitrogen source. L-lysine and DL-methionine were not utilized at all.
3. Concerning streoisomer of these aminoacids, L-form was more effective than D-form.
4. The aminoacids biosynthesis in their culture filtrates such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, serine, and valine was observed by paperchromatography.
5. The pH of their culture filtrate inclines alkaline with their culture ages. When L-arginine and L-histidine were used as nitrogen source, the pH of their culture filtrate was lower then in other cases.View full abstractDownload PDF (1665K) -
II. ON THE FLUCTUATION OF BODY-WEIGHT DUE TO THORACOPLASTYHISATAKA UGAI1954 Volume 29 Issue 11 Pages 433-436
Published: November 15, 1954
Released on J-STAGE: May 24, 2011
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAs reported in Part I on the artificial pneumothorax cases, observations were made on the fluctuation in the body weight of 106 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who had undergone thoracoplasty with desired results.
More than a half of the patients observed lost weight by the end of six months after treatment. Those who had more ribs taken away, viz, those who had larger collapse in their lungs were more likely to lose their weight than the others. Neither the condition and the dimensions of the lesions of lungs before the treatment, whether or not chemotherapy was applied, nor whether or not blood transfusion was made after operation, had anything to do with the fluctuation in their body weight.View full abstractDownload PDF (1101K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPotency of old tuberculin together with purified tuberculin (PT) which have been in use in japan was compared with those of Denmark, Sweeden, Norway, England and of America. Comparisons were done on both animal and human following the method described under the potency test of the minimum requirements for the diluted old tuberculin to be used in Mantoux test.
The findings of the comparisons are shown in the tables from which it has been concluded as follows:
1. The potency of Japanese OT was found to be equivalent to those used in Denmark, Norway, England and America, however, the one used in Sweeden was found to be slightly lower.
2. The potency of our UT in a dilution of 1: 2, 000 (0.05 mg/0.1 ml) was found to be equivalent to the 5 TU (0.1 γ/0.1 ml) of PT used in Denmark.View full abstractDownload PDF (1023K) -

II. STUDIES ON THE PHARMACO-DYNAMIC FUNCTIONS OF PARA-AMINOSALICYLIC ACID AND ISONICOTINIC ACID HYDRAZIDEMASAYASU YAMASAKI, SYUJI DAIMON1954 Volume 29 Issue 11 Pages 458-460
Published: November 15, 1954

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSOur previous study demonstrated the effect of streptomycin (STM) on the autonomic nervous functions and we ascertained that STM promoted the function of the parasympathetic nervous system.
In this report, the experiments on the action of para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) and isonicotinic acid hydrazid (INAH) on the autonomic nervous functions were performed as in the case of STM (1st report).
The results of these experiments show that PAS and INAH give little effect on the intestinal tracts of guinea pigs and on the blood pressure of rabbits, and that these drugs neither promote the action of acetylcholin, nor inhibit the action of epinephrine. Furthermore, PAS and INAH have no inhibitory effect upon cholinesterase in the blood serum. But when rabbits are administered with a large dose of INAH, it produces a convulsion. An excessive dose of INAH, therefore, may stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. From these facts, it is conceivable that PAS and INAH, unlike STM, have little effect directly on the autonomic nervous system of the living body.View full abstractDownload PDF (652K)
