    In this section, it was described on the anatomical findings of the autopsy cases of the following congenital heart diseases; coarctation of aorta, interruption of aortic arch, tetralogy of Fallot, pentalogy of Fallot, trilogy of Fallot, origin of both great vessels from the right ventricle and Eisenmenger's complex.
    It is of importance for analizing the congenital heart disease to examine in details both its anatomical structure and hemodynamics.

    School children who live in an air pollution area (principally HCl gas) were investigated with respect to increases in height and amount of pulmonary ventilation by comparing the results of physical examination in the 3rd and 5th school years. The subjects were born in a period from April 1960 to March 1961 (m : 91, f : 104). Controls were children of the corresponding age, living in non-polluted areas of the same city (m : 105, f : 104).
    The results were as follows :
    1) The average increase in the height in the interval between the two physical examinations was not significantly different from the control values. But, the average increase in the amount of pulmonaly ventilation was significantly higher in the pollution area both in FVC and FEV 1.0 (P < 0.01).
    2) Increases in FVC and FEV1.0 in the pollution area were largest for those who gave the smallest values in the 3rd school year. This indicated the possibility of compensatory increase in the amount of pulmonary ventilation in the pollution area.
    3) Correlation between increases in height and the amount of pulmonaly ventilation (both in FVC and FEV1.0) was significant in the non-pollution area (P <0.01), whereas the correlation was not significant in either sex in the pollution area.
    4) Since, however, there was no significant correlation between increases in height and the amount of pulmonary ventilation in the children of pollution area, the compensatory increase in the amount of pulmonary ventilation is assumed to show considerably larger individual differences, giving wide scatter.

    Gross and Hubbard reported the first ligation of a ductus arteriosus in in 1938. Gross later changed his technique and adopted one of division techniques of the ductus (1943), because of the recanalization of some early cases treated by ligation in continuity. Since then a great number of operation reports supporting this technique have appeared. But in three cases of these operation, we have experienced massive bleeding during the division of PDA. From this reason, we have studied the cause of the recanalization after ligation. We found that the most important cause of the recanalization was the postoperative infection.
    We tried both tripple ligations of the duct and long-term chemotherapy. Further we decided application of a tissue adhesive in order to prevent loosening of the ligation.
    We tried such operative method in forty cases. In two cases, however, we found the recanalization postoperatively.
    In such cases, the recanalization occured in very early stages after the ligation and so we thought that it was due to incomplete ligation. After that we improved the operative technique. Namely we intercepted temporarily the descending aorta during the ligation to ligate the duct completely. Since this improvement of the operative method, we have found no recanalization.

    TC-resistant strains were obtained from germ-free pigs that had been infected several drug-sensitive E.coli strains and administered food containing TC. Among the initial E.coli strains given, one strain carried a T-kan episome and another had a colB factor. Therefore, the obtained TC-resistance factor was examined for its relationship to T-kan or colB factor.
    Two types of the transferable TC-resistance factors were obtained, one carride colB factor and the other did not.
    The former was able to be cured of its colB factor by treatment with ethidium bromide and converted to the latter type, and the TC-resistance was never transduced with colB factor nor with transferability. However, irrespctive to having colB factor or not, the transfer of TC-resistace was sensitive to the immunity conferred by a resident colB factor in a recipient.
    It was thus considered that the transferability of the TC-resistance was derived from colB factor. Coexisting colB factor seems to have lost incompatibility locus.

    Red cells of propositus were agglutinated weakly by high titer anti-B human sera and anti-A+ B from group O sera. Her red cells reacted as strongly as group O cells with anti-H eel serum. Her serum contained an anti-B antibody which agglutinated normal B red cells at 4°C in saline but did not agglutinate her own red cells. Her saliva contained H substance in normal amoumt of group O secret or saliva. As the B substance did not detect in her saliva by inhibition test of anti-B agglutinin, she was termed blood group Bx analogous to those described for AX.
    Her father was group AB and his red cells reacted weakly with anti-B antibodies. His saliva contained A and H substances in normal amount of group AB secretor saliva and amount of B substance in his saliva was less than that found in group AB secretor saliva chosen at random. Sister of propositus was a group B variant and blood group pattern of her red cells, serum and saliva was identical with those of propositus.

    Employing the test method after Matumoto et al., which is a sort of measuring selective reaction time to the visual stimulus, the test of the ability for the quick action to twenty times stimulations given at random for 10 min. (test I) or 20 min. (test II), was carried out on 8 subjects.
    The following were the results.
    1. The full score of the ability of individual subject was 10 and the scores of the test on the subjects ranged from 2.0 to 7.5 in the test I and from 1.5 to 10 in the test II. The average score of the total subjects was 5.4±1.79 in the former and 6.0±2.88 in the latter.
    2. The actions to the stimulation given at 45 sec after the preceeding one were most successfull.
    3. The percentage of the success of the action varried rhythmically with time from the beginning of the test.
    4. It was assumed that the score of this test was in close relation to that the subject could be in continuously attentive state or not.
