    Human plasma estrogens were measured in normal females and female patients with mammary cancer before and after menopause.
    Plasma were collected at luteal phase. Plasma esteogens (E1 E2 and E3) were extracted by the method of Veldhuis, and purified by alumina column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Hitachi 023 gas chromatograph with Lovelock type electron capture was used in present study.
    The total estrogens did not varied in both of normal females and patients with mammary cancer.
    In both normal females and patients with cancer, the amount of E1 and E2 decreased in tendency before and after menopause, while E3 increased in amount.
    Estriol ratio (E3/E1+E2) was slightly higher in the normal females than in the patients with mammary cancer.

    A case of atresia of the ascending colon in a 2-day-old male infant with recovery was presented. The patient was born on Aug. 26, 1964. He started to vomit bile-stained vomitus on the second day of life and had not passed meconium.
    On admission, he was dehydrated and distended. The right side of the abdomen was somewhat bulgy and a elliptical doughy mass was felt. A flat and upright film showed marked distention of multiple loops of intestine with air fluid levels. There was an oval shaped gigantic intestinal gas shadow in the right half of the abdomen. Barium enema revealed microcolon with the radio-opaque material terminating at the splenic flexure. Emergency laparotomy was performed with the presumptive diagnosis of colonic atresia. A type III atresia of the ascending colon was confirmed at surgery. The ascending colon, including 10cm. of terminal ileum was resected and ileosigmoidostomy was performed. His postoperative course was uneventful and he was well in seven years after surgery.
    Congenital atresia of the colon is rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn infant. During the year 1958 to 1973 inclusive, 32 infants have been operated upon for intestinal atresia at the Department of Surgery of Gunma University Hospital, and only 2, or 6 per cent, was located in the colon.

    The light-and electron-microscopic structure of the glomus tumor of the palate of a 20 years old male was described.
    Light-microscopically the tumor was composed of epithelioid cells with round or ovoid nuclei and clear cytoplasm, and the 3 types of microscopic appearance-solid, angiomatous, mucoid-hyaline-were observed.
    Electron-microscopically the tumor cells did not show a typical smooth muscle cell appearance, but a modified smooth muscle cell appearance.

    203Hg-ethylmercury chloride was orally given to mice and rats, and its absorption, retention, excretion and distribution were investigated.
    1. Absorption : The absorption was considerably fast after the oral administration as in the case of methylmercury.
    2. Retention in the body : The daily decrement curve of the whole-body retention represents the sum of two exponential functions in rats, but a single expornential function in mice.
    3. Distribution in the body : The distribution of 203Hg was determined for 3 days with mice and 7 days with rats after the oral administration. In rats, the highest radioactivity was found in the kidney followed by in blood, liver, spleen, pancreas and brain in the descending order. In mice, the highest radioactivity was also found in the kidney, however, next order was the liver, pancreas, spleen, blood and brain successively.
    4. Excretion : The daily excretion of 203Hg was high in feces and low in urine.
    5. Effects of administration of various drugs. In 3 day experiments with mice, the effective drugs on eliminating of 203Hg are DL-Penicillamine, 2-mercaptopropionyl glycine and GSH. BAL, Mercaptoacetic acid and Thioethanol were found to increase 203Hg concentration in the brain. In 7 day experiments with rats, the effective drugs in expelling 203Hg were BAL and 2-Mercaptopropionyl glycine.
