    Electrophoretic profiles of acid DNase in cow snout epidermis were studied electrophoretically in relation to the depth of epidermis. Isoelectrophoretic point of acid DNase protein was found to be 4.9 and 8.4. To examine the electrophoretic properties of acidic and basic enzyme proteins, acid DNase was analyzed by micro slab electrophoresis, using 5% (pH 4.3) and 10% (pH 8.8) acrylamide gel sheet, respectively. Acid DNase was detected throughout all three successive layers of epidermis. In the case of acid DNase (basic protein) analysis carried out on the pH 4.3 gel sheet, the additional minor component was found beside major band, in the upper layer of epidermis.

    A total of 124 school children in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan were followed for beta-hemolytic streptococci for 29 months with serial monthly throat cultures. Information on the carrier state, host factors (degree of tonsillar hypertrophy, ABO blood type, HLA serotype, past histories of scarlet fever, measles, rheumatic fever, etc.) and environmental factors (number of siblings, indoor heating system, use of a humidifier, duration of humidifying, etc.) were successfully obtained from 93 of these .124 subjects. Risk factors increasing the probability that a child will become a carrier were examined epidemiologically. A child from a household without a humidifier tended to be a streptococcal carrier (p<0.05).

    A circulating anodic antigen (CAA) was detected in Schistosoma japonicum-infected mice using counter- immunoelectrophoresis. The incidence of CAA increased with the total number of female and male worms and reached 100% in mice with 12 worms. The worm burdens, expressed as male worm equivalents based on the CAA content, also showed a close correlation with CAA frequency. On the other hand, the incidence of antibodies had an inverse relationship with CAA frequency. No reactions were seen in mice with more than 13 worms or 30 male worms equivalents. It was notable that mice infected with only male and/or immature worms had a significantly higher degree of reaction (54.5%) than bisexually infected mice (18.2%). For comparison, S. mansoniinfected mice were investigated using S. japonicum worm -derived antigen or antiserum. However, no CAA was detected in the sera from 18 mice, even though one group of mice had a large number of worms (X ± SE, 49.7 ± 11.7). In contrast, antibodies were detected in sera of all mice sacrificed at 14 and 20 weeks after the infection.

    Sixty cleft lip and palate crossbite patients from the Kurume University School of Medicine Hospital were compared with 64 non-cleft, cross bite subjects. Their facial morphologic differences were analyzed by comparing their lateral cephalograms prior to orthodontic therapy. The following results were obtained : 1. In the anterior region of the facial profile of the cleft sample, marked suppression of growth in the forward of the upper and lower jaws was observed. 2. The antero-posterior diameter of the cranial base in the cleft sample was small in the cleft compared to the control sample. Cranial base angle was somewhat flattened in the cleft sample; this effect was not significant. 3. The antero-posterior diameter of the maxilla was significantly smaller in the cleft sample; furthermore maxilla showed the lack of growth and was positioned in the upward/posterior location. 4. The following positional and morphologic changes of the mandible were observed in the cleft sample : retrusion of point B, shortening of the mandibular ramus height, and enlargement of the mandibular plane angle. 5. Thickness of the mandibular symphysis at Point B was significantly narrower while the symphysis height was significantly greater in the cleft sample. Marked lingual inclination of the symphysis was observed in the cleft sample. 6. As there was a lack of growth of the maxilla in the cleft sample, the skeletal profile of the maxillo-mandibular relationship became concave in this sample, and this condition was progressively worsening with age. All these findings suggest that for appropriate orthodontic treatment of the cleft lip and palate patient, it is necessary to guide and promote the growth of the maxilla to the forward/downward direction with the early use of orthopedic force. Furthermore, because of the distortion of the symphysis contour and its further alterations with age in the cleft sample, it will be difficult to incline the lower teeth lingually; this makes the treatment of cleft lip and palate patients much more difficult.

    Difficulties in treating subjects with acute subdural hematomas and low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores (5 or less) were studied in 30 patients using two different surgical treatments. The outcomes in these patients were good for 13% poor for 23% and fatal for 63%. The ICP was well controlled in 2 patients (12%) in the DH (decompressive hemicraniectomy) group. No patient was well controlled in the HITT (hematoma irrigation with trephination therapy) group. Uncontrollable ICP occurred more frequently in the HITT group than in the DH group. The mortality rate was 56% for the DH group and 71% for the HITT group. The mortality rate of older patients, however, was 100% for the DH group and higher than 67% for the HITT group. This preliminary work demonstrates that decompressive craniectomy is more effective in controlling ICP and in improving the outcomes of patients with acute subdural hematomas and low GCS scores.
