    Summary: The whole ramifications of the lingual artery and their distribution features in the rat were investigated by means of the acryl plastic injection method. For convenience, the tongue body was divided into fixed and unfixed (including the lingual apex) portions. The lingual artery arising from the external carotid artery gave rise to the ascending palatine artery and the hyoid branch, and its main stream terminated in the sublingual and the deep lingual arteries. The hyoid branch supplied the lingual radix asymmetrically. The sublingual artery was observed on the mylohyoideus muscle in all 200 examples, although it was always extremely underdeveloped. The deep lingual artery, ramificating into the styloglossal, the geniohyoid and the dorsal lingual branches in the fixed portion, passed forwards between the styloglossus and the genioglossus muscles and terminated in the dorsal branches in the fixed portion formed an arterial network, and one of them in this portion itself turned to the dorsal apical branch, which continued as the dorsal median branch. Vascular communications between the right and left sides within the tongue were interrupted by the presence of the lingual septum in the fixed portion of the lingual body, but in the unfixed portion were maintained by anastomoses between the dorsal and ventral median branches. In short, the deep lingual artery was observed mostly as a unilateral distribution feature in the fixed portion, but was bilateral in the unfixed portion.

    Summary: As a preliminary study of the double labeling technique, single administrations of fluorescent dye, Fast Blue or Nuclear Yellow (Hoechst S 769121) were given to the left extraocular muscles of the rat respectively. The distribution patterns were then investigated. The author found that labeled neurons were in the bilateral oculomotor nucleus, trochlear nucleus, ipsilateral abducens nucleus and accessory abducens nucleus. In the ipsilateral culomotor nucleus, labelled neurons grouped as the rostro-caudally arranged subnuclei: the inferior rectus was found in the ventral portion, the medial rectus situated mostly inner part, the inferior oblique located dorsally, the superior rectus is distributed center area.
    Compared to the author's previous findings using HRP, the single administration of Fast Blue yielded similar results but the single administration of Nuclear Yellow revealed a rather more limited distribution.

    Summary: The lymph nodes participating in the lymphatic system of the lung in rodentia were the superior anterior mediastinal lymph node (SAM), superior tracheobronchial lymph node (STB), paraesophageal lymph node (PES, hamster, rat: inconstant), and aortic arch lymph node (AOA, hamster: inconstant). Three lymphatic drainage patterns were observed in the present study, the ipsilateral pathway, the crossing pathway, and the direct pathway to the thoracic duct (TD) via the lateral or medial group of SAM and the AOA. Ipsilateral pathways of the lung were present in all lobes. As the crossing pathways, we observed lymphatics to the right SAM or STB from the left lung (all animals), to the medial and lateral group of left SAM from the lower and accessory lobe of the right lung (rat and hamster). One pathway to the TD was also present. The efferent vessels from the left SAM drained directly into the TD (rat). This route was seen in the cases in which the contrast materials were injected into the right lower or accessory lobes and left lung.
    This study indicated the existence of the crossing pathway from the left lung (mice, rat and hamster) and the lower part of the right lung (rat and hamster).

    Summary: In the mouse arytenoid region covered with the intermediate epithelium, a fairly large number of taste buds were observed in the area close to the interarytenoid notch in between the bilateral apices of the arytenoid cartilages. It was suggested that the taste buds were involved in the reflex mechanism protecting the upper airway in swallowing, i. e. when the taste buds were stimulated by the bolus and its information was conveied to the central nervous system, the arytenoid cartilages were drown ventrally by the internal thyroarytenoideus muscle. The surface appearance of the epithelium appeared to be influenced by the mechanical stress in swallowing, not by the distribution of the taste pores.

    Summary: The amygdaloid connections with the lower brain stem, particularly with the cardiovascular/autonomic regulatory regions- the parabrachial nuclei (PBN), nucleus of the solitary tract (NST), and dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMV)- were studied in the rat by means of anterograde and retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase. In the light microscope study, it was demonstrated that these regions received heavy projections from the medial subdivision of the central nucleus of the amygdala but only light projections from the lateral, and lateral capsular subdivisions. Additionally, it should be noted that the PBN had heavy projections to the lateral, and lateral capsular subdivisions of the central nucleus, while the solitary and vagal regions had light projections to the medial subdivision. In the electron microscope study, the direct amygdaloid projections to the PBN, NST and DMV were confirmed using the horseradish peroxidase technique.

    Summary: Immunohistochemical studies were carried out on hen and chick oviducts using antibodies against the egg-white proteins, avidin, trypsin inhibitor and ovoinhibitor. The chicks were treated with 17β-oestradiol dipmpionate and then, in some cases, with progesterone. Both trypsin inhibitor and ovoinhibitor were isolated from ovomucoid by preparative isoelectric focussing electrophoresis. The localization of each antigen was examined by means of an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Each antigen was detected in well-characterized tubular gland cells of the oviduct in both the hens and the hormone-treated chicks. Antigenic avidin was occasionally detected in a few epithelial cells. These immunohistological findings suggest that the concept of progesterone action may have to be reconsidered. Thus, progesterone clearly induces the simultaneous biosynthesis of different proteins which originally require either oestrogen or progesterone for their biosynthesis in identical acinar cells of the oviduct in hens and oestrogen-primed chicks.

    Summary: The chondro-epitrochlearis muscles were found in both sides of the upper extremities of a 59-year-old Japanese male. The anomaly consisted of two muscular fasciculi; the one arising from the most caudal part of the pars abdominalis of the pectoralis major and the other from aponeurotic sheet covering the dorsal surface of the pectoralis major. After crossing over the axilla the former fasciculus abruptly curved away from the parent muscle and joined with the latter. Both fasciculi ran down together along the antero-medial side of the arm as far as a point about 10 cm from the epicondyle, where they continued to the slender tendon to insert on the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Near the lower end of the arm the tendon was connected with medial intermuscular septum also There existed the muscular arch of the axilla stretching between the latissimus dorsi and the coracoid process. The present chondro-epitrochlearis was innervated by the caudal pectoral nerve from the ansa pectoralis which also supplied the pars abdominalis of the pectoralis major and the muscular arch.
    The chondro-epitrochlearis would be an atavistic anomaly demonstrating the extent of the insertion of ancestral forms.

    Summary: Positional anomaly of the intestine was found in an autopsy of a 75 year-old male. The main characteristics of this case were as follows: The caecum was present in the upper abdomen at the height between L1 and L2, overlapping on the duodenum. The small intestine traveled in a counterclockwise direction from the right to left. The ascending colon was compacted in a mass and superposed the liver. The liver was very small and deformed, measuring only 650 g. Whole colons had mesenteries of 37 mm to 89 mm in length. The duodenum ran sigmoidly in a right abdomen. The colon became suddenly slim at the portion of 75 mm caudal to the ileocaecal region and this slimming continued to the rectum.
