JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRecently in Japan, it has become a common practice for children to have health consultation during infancy, and this practice is being carried out quite extensively. It cannot be denied that this practice has not only contributed to the early detection of congenital dislocation of the hip joint, but has greatly improved the results of treatment. However, taking the hereditary and fatal deficiency of development in congenital dislocation into consideration, results are far from ideal.At the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kurume University Hospital, the scheme as reported by Seddon in 1951 is still followed, but many problems remain to be solved, such as the changes of the femoral head and neck, residual subluxation, hypoplasia of the acetabular roof and secondary osteoarthritis. Particularly, after the age of puberty, hypoplasia of the acetabular roof is considered to be the most important factor causing secondary coxarthrosis which interferes with the function of the hip joint. Hitherto, various interpretations and methods have been introduced concerning the treatment of hypoplasia of the acetabular roof. However, results have not always been satisfactory. Recently, Chiari's pelvic osteotomy has been widely adopted in Japan for this type of operation. The authors have critically reviewed the results of the shelf operation performed at this department.View full abstractDownload PDF (21511K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt has been reported that Trichomycin discoverd by Hosoya1) is effective in the treatment of organ candidiasis.Suzuki2) found that sodium bicarbonate also has a therapeutic effect in pulmonary candidiasis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechnism of effect of Trichomycin and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) upon Candida albicans (abbr. as C. alb.). The study was carried out to observe the effect of Trichomycin on C. alb. culture under microscope, and the effect of sodium bicarbonate on experimental rabbit candidiasis histologically and mycologically.View full abstractDownload PDF (5718K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSince murine leprosy bacilli are obligate intracellular parasites, they have been preserved in vivo by inoculating into rats or mice. However, in previous papers (1, 2.), the investigations in which the infectious activity of Mycobacterium had been maintained in vitro for about five years by means of lyophilization were described. In the present communication, an additional data obtained in the experiment in which the infective activity of the bacilli could be maintained in vitro for ten years by lyophilization is reported.View full abstractDownload PDF (193K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt has long been known that the neuromuscular junction is very sensitive to carbon dioxide and the transmission across this junction is easily blocked under the effect of this gas. The aim of the present experiment is to clarify the underlying mechanism of this blockage by analysing the effects of carbon dioxide on the pre- and postsynaptic elements. According to the chemical transmission hypothesis (1) (2), the impulse in the motor nerve fiber on reaching the terminals causes acetylcholine, the transmitter, to be released there . This substance diffuses to and reacts with the receptor in the surface of end-plate . The reaction occuring between the receptor and the transmitter alters the physicochemical properties of the surface membrane of end-plate and consequently induces the excitation of muscle membrane. It was clarified in this study that although the sensitivity of end-plate membrane to acetylcholine is considerably increased by the effect of carbon dioxide, the neuromuscular transmission is blocked on account of the failure in impulse conduction at the motor nerve terminals.View full abstractDownload PDF (4601K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is well known that metastasis of thyroid carcinoma frequently occurs in the bone. However, cases are rare in which severe general skeletal metastasis are demonstrated and small primary thyroid carcinoma can not be detected clinically.The author will report here an autopsy case of clinically latent thyroid carcinoma with intensive bone and lung metastases.View full abstractDownload PDF (3206K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIonic movements across the cell membrane are supposed to be governed by respective hypothetical driving forces although there is a possibility of protoplasmic flow without any definite direction in muscle fibers. The existence of intracellularly free ion movements has been assumed from the data on exchangeability of labeled ions across the membrane. Roughly speaking, it has been said that almost all the K ions and about half of the Na ions can move freely in the cells. But details of ionic behavior remain obscure.There has been some uncertainty as to what fraction of the total ion content may be ascribed to the intracellular compartment. It is the purpose of this report to discuss what amount of ions in cells is freely present and how they behave. The state of ionization within cells was evaluated by observing the easiness of intracellular ion movements and the balance sheets for K and Na ions of muscles under various experimental conditions. In other words, the purpose of this report is to discuss the mechanism which maintains internal ionic homeostasis.View full abstractDownload PDF (821K)
