    The application of the electron microscope creates a new era in the fields of cytology and histology. Consequently, the biology based on the classifical cytology and histology is naturally obliged to make a great change. Pathology and physiology are some of its examples, Only several years have passed since the successful application of the electron microscope in the area of histology. The improvements in methods of fixation, embedding and of their sectioning have brought remarkable progress in the field. However, the electron microscopy of the nervous tissue has been focused mainly on the neuron. The fine structure of the capillary in the nervous tissue has not yet been clarified. For example, the capillary in the cerebral cortex was studied by Pease et al (3), in the anterior pituitary by Rinehart and Faraquhar (4), and in the posterior pituitary by Palay (7), Hartmann (6). Although all these studies described the fine structure andd discussed functional significance of the capillary, it seems that there are still many problems to solve, for instance, the perivascular space or thin bridge of the endothelial pore. Furthermore, the classification of the capillary by Bennett et al (18) based on the electron microscope seems to be necessary to prove in the case of central nervous system. The present study describes the fine structure of capillaries in the cerebral cortex, internal capsule, hippocampus, anterior and posterior pituitary as well as its changes after the experiments of compression and of try panblue injection.

    The acute, sub-acute and chronic patients of schistosomiasis japonica reacted to the urine precipitin reaction. The antigen in urine is easy to change by heat and putrefaction. It is not clear what substance participates in this phenomenon, but it is presumable that the substance may be thermolabil and nondialyzable.The urine precipitin reaction may be used for the assessment of cure. Animal experiments showed the fact that after the reaction had become negative, the worm was not found any more.This reaction may be used for early diagnosis for schistosomiasis. One of the acute cases showed a positive reaction to this reaction test within one month after the infection. In the animal experiment the reaction changed to be positive as early as on the first week after the infection.

    Since the initial description of the complement fixation reaction in 19O1, the complement fixation test by viruses has been widely studied. Despite the immense literature accumlated on the diagnosis of viral disease with the complement fixation test, little information is available on the differentiation of strains with the complement fixation test.The present auther has recently discovered an in vitro marker which may be used to differentiate poliovirus particles with the complement fixation test.
