    Recently, non-radioactive immunohistological technique has been developed, where in a thymidine analogue, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), is incorporated into replicating DNA and subsequently localized using a specific monoclonal antibody. In this study, labelling index and cell dynamics of lingual epithelium in mice were investigated by means of this method.
    Results were as follows
    1. The percent labelling index was represented by means of this expression; the number of incorporated cells was divided by the number of basal cells. The average labelling index was 9.1±2.8%(S.D.).
    2. At two days after administratioon of BrdU, it was obviously investigated that the labelled elements were immigrated from the basal layer into the prickle-cell layer.
    3. We conclude that this technique is easy to perform and can be useful for the quantitative analysis of the lingual epithelial cell dynamics in mice.

    Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is a syndrome caused by primary infection with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).
    We studies 36 cases of IM on clinical manifestatioin, all satisfied criteria for diagnosis of IM presented by Evans AS in 1972. 33 cases were examined with seorological studies for antibodies to EBV-specific antigens (viral capsid antigen, early antigen, and EB nuclear antigen).
    EBV specific antibodies required to diagnosis IM serologicaly were positive in 22 cases. Frequency in each symptom were found as follows: fever in 97%, lymphadenopathy in 86%, tonsilitis in 70%, hepatomegaly in 63%, and exanthema in 38%. More than 10 percent of atypical lymphocytes were found in the peripheral blood. Non-specific tests for antibody (Paul-Bunnell test) were negative in 95.8%.
    Intimate contact, such as exchange of saliva by means of kiss, for example, is said to be required for transmission of EBV. With advent of culture being more free in mind among pepole towards 21 century, IM may be seen more prevail in Japan, so that more confirmative diagnosis of IM should be requisite for otolaryngologist with confident evaluation of symptoms and serological examination in IM.

    The patient was a 50-year-old male with spinocerebellar degeneration who showed signs and symptoms of aggravation of dysequilibrium by smoking. He complained of increased dizziness after smoking. Posturograms and optokinetic nystagmus test also showed aggravation that persisted about 15 or 20 minutes. This case suggests that smoking has adverse effects on equilibrium function.

    Nine cases of inner ear syphilis have been followed up for a period of one to five and a half years. All of them complained of bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, and seven of them were medicated with vasodilators and corticosteroid hormone. However, hearing loss advanced on the four ears (three cases), and the caloric response became worse on the four ears (three cases). This result was almost the same as in the reported cases which had received oher kinds of therapy.
