    The study of the recovery process of sympathetic nerves, indicating sudomotor functions and using such means as sweating tests by Wada-Takagi method and galvanic skin reflex, was made in comparison with the recovery of functions of sensory nerves under the five cases whose pedicle skin flaps were transplanted from various causes. 1) The order of the recovery of functions in transplanted skin flaps was, at first, pain sensation and was followed by touch, and next cold, warm sensations and lastly by sweating. One of the main reasons why the recovery of sweating functions is so late is believed to be that, because the functions of sweat-glands themselves are regarded as being conserved from the first, the regeneration of sympathetic nerves reach sweat-glands and that when it connects functionally with the glands, there arises many difficulties. 2) When sweating tests by method of Wada and Takagi, galvanic skin reflex and electric skin resistance as the testing methods of recovery of sympathetic nerves indicating sweat-glands are compared each other, we can find close relations lie among them. But sweating test is most suitable for the purpose of observing the recovery of sweat-gland functions, which elucidates the extent and degree of the recovery.

    Medical aspects on cockroaches based on their specific morphology and ecology were described in this paper. The cockroache have following specific habits which are thought by people that they are hard to control. 1. They become active and harmful mainly during night, so that it is hard to know their popularion. 2. They can nide and move quickly in small spaces such as crevices of wooden funiture. 3. The female carries egg case in which eggs are safe more than 2 weeks against insecticides. Our laboratory found new method of control based on above mentioned habits using 5% DDT solution. According to the results of both in the laboratory and fields large number of cockrouches in deep infested places separated by white border line containing 5% DDT painted with paint brush are killed or knock down and are found in the next morning. This method using especially water soluble type of DDT is thought better than other ones in Japanese house and/ or restaurant because it is proved low rate of toxication against people and hood, incombustibility and more economical.

    The result of our determination of the sugar in the spinal fluid of patients with Japanese B-encephalitis last summer revealed that about half of the patients ranged in the normal level during the crisis while others were in the higher range; theue were no cases in the lower range (average level 77.3mg/dl). It is significant that their prognosis was bad in cases involving the higher level while some eases were lethal, especially in the highest level. It seemed that there was a relationship between cell numbers and sugar content in cerebrospinal fluid and C.F.T. (Complement Fixation Test) of serum. We believe that in the coming epidemics our task will be to clear the relationships between cell numbeus and sugar content in cerebrospinal fluid and C.F.T. and between spinal sugar and blood sugar.

    1.The movements of the rabbit's intestinal canal decrease gradually in relatively high temperature and high humidity environment (average temperature 28°C, humidity 70%), but they do not decrease as quickly as in very high temperatrues. 2. The process of the action seemed in the disturbance of autonomic nervous system, the change of blood circulation, and in the disturbance of the peripheral tissue. It can not be explained by just a single reason. 3. If the rabbit's intestinal canal with decreased movement in high temperature is expcsed to relatively low temperatures (average 5°C), it regains its original state quickly. The injection of high tension glucose was effective, V.B1 showed no effect, and the extract of liver and the cooled extract of liver showed the strongest action.
