    In the previous paper, the authers studied on the Enterobiasis in the public nursery and mentioned of the individual contact in a broad sense might be the most important cause for infection. In the present paper they discribed in the results of the survey carried out in the Sakura public nursery, Chiba pref., in June, 1958, using similar method as the previous survey and they could ascertain by the results as the infection of Enterobiasis ought to the individual contact in a broad sense again. 1) Among 49 (35.76%) persons out of 139 belonging 30 families examined, pinworm eggs were detected. Correlation of the infection between male and female were not obserbed. 2) High rate of infection were obserbed among children belonged in lower than 15 years old and the rate showed the tendency of increase gradually. Further more in middle aged persons in 30-40 years old high rates of infection were obserbed considerably, especially in women in these ages showed more heavy infection rate than man. 3) The tendency of familial aggregation of infection was very conspicuous, and a correlation was showed remarkably between infected children and their mother and between their brothers and sisters, but no significant correlation between infected children and their fathers. 4) No correlation were obserbed between the infection rates and the frequency of bathing or changing underwears. Further more only 27.7 percents persons in all infected persons apealed the itch of anal part. 5) Negative correlation between the space of the bed room and the rate of infection were showed. Higher infection rate found in the families lived in smaller spaces than the average number of the tatami, two tatami per person, in the bed room. 6) The results to examine perianal part of the infected children 5-10 times in 10 days showed about 80% of confidence of the scotch cellulose tape swab method. For that reason if we expect to 95% confidence of result, we may have to try for three days running at least.

    Inoculating baby mice's brain with Japanese Encephalitis virus, the author studied the image of their blood and bone marrow and obtained the following results. 1. In the image of peripheral blood, leucocytes increased in large numbers and they moved towards the left of nuclei, lymphocytes decreased in number, eosinophil cells decreased or vanished away, and plasma cells and reticuloendothelial cells increased. 2. In the image of bone marrow, nucleated cells in bone marrow, neutrophil cells and erythroblasts cells increased abundantly in the incubation period as well as at the beginning of the attack of the disease and decreased after the middle period of the disease. 3. These results are much the same to those of Japanese Encephalitis patients.

    The effect of isomytal on respiration, NH3 formation and phoshometabolism of brain cortex slice was studied. Cerebral cortex of rats were used and oxygen consumption, NH3 formation, creatine phosphate and inorganic Phosphors was measured. The results were as follows ; 1) 10-3M sodium isomytal remerkably inhibits the rise in respiration due to potassium effect in glucose substrate ([K]) 0.1M). 2) Isomytal inhibition was seen also in glucose medium with total elimination of Ca++. 3) The post mortem change of brain tissue was rapid. Creatine phosphate was especially diverted to inorganic Phosphor very rapidly. When slice was given enough oxygen and glucose as energysource the author recognized the resynthesis of creatine phosphate. This fact was reported by McIlwain and others in 1952. 4) 10-3M Isomytal-Na inhibit this resynthesis of creatine phosphate. 5) Resynthesized creatine phosphate was diverted to inorganic Phosphor in medium with high K+ content 10-3M isomytal-Na did not inhibit this Phenomenon.

    Inoculating the pure line baby mice's brain with polimoyelitis virus L.D.50 in quantity and having tham fall sick on experiment, the author studied their peripheral blood picture and bone marrow picture for fifteen days and obtained the following results. (1) In the peripheral blood, no great change was seen in the number of red corpuscles and in tne quantity of hemoglobins. The total number of leucocytes decreased obviously under the influence of the change of the number of lymphocytes. Neutrophil cells increased relatively in large numbers and decreased in the absolute value. Their clear transition toward the left of nuclei was observed. Eosinophil cells increased in the convalescence. The monocytes showed a little increasing tendency in the percentage and yet they were within the normal limits. Plasma cells increased in number and reticuloendotherial cells appeared in small numbers. (2) In the bone marrow picture, at the beginning of the attack af the disease, the number of nucleated cells increased in a few and then decreased obviously. The increase and decrease of the erythroblast cells was the same as those of the nncleated cells. The neutrophil cells showed the same tendency and increased relatively, decreased in the absolute value and had the transition toward the left of nuclei as well as in the peaipheral blood. There was no clear change in the eosinophil cells but at the beginning of the attack of the disease there were many cells which were seen to be imperfect shapes. They increased in percentage and decreased in absolute slightly. Lymphocytes did not change in percentage but decaased in absolute value in the beginning of the attack of the disease. The monocytes in percentage increased both in the beginning of the attack of the diseass and in the beginning of the convalescence. They in the absolute value increased in the convalescence in a few number. Plasma cells increased in a few in percentage at the beginning of the attack of the disease and showed no change in the absolute value. Reticuloendotherial cells appeared in small numbers and increased in a few in the first half period of the attack of the disease. Both erythroblast cells and leucocytes which were in the nuclear fission picturer showed the increase in percentage in the beginning of the disease and the slignt descrease in the absolute value.

    Lupulin, the main ingredient of hop, which gives the beer the peculiar flavor and taste, has been used in this experiments. The water suspension of the completely evaporated chloroform extract of Lupulin responds positively to Lieberman-Buchard reaction and pseudopositively to Salkhwskii's reaction. The cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthren ring compound female hormon has been also determined by the polarographic analysis. The existence of the female hormon has been able to be proved by Allen-Doisy test in the castrated mice. The female hormone content of Lupulin is 0.1-0.16 mouse unit per grams. The teststeron like substance has been certainly detected by the polarography in the staminate flower of Hummulus Lupulus while the chemical and biological experiments give no exact evidence of its existence.

    1. The localization of muscle fibers which belong to a single neuromuscular unit of human anterior tibial muscle was determined by searching the synchronous discharges from two different parts of the muscle. 2. The distribution of the kinetic NMU was 10 to 25mm. wide and that of the tonic one was 5 to 15mm. The kinetic unit was generally located wider than the tonic one. 3. Each NMU spreaded within the lateral or medial half of the muscle. This fact suggests the possibility that each half of the muscle may work separately. 4. Some interpretations about the innervation of NMUs and electromyograrn, and the functional differentiation of human NMU related to its distribution were discussed.

    There are serological cross reactions among many species of the genera Candida and Torulopsis. Four species of the genus Torulopsis were obtained for antigen analysis. The experiments were carried out through the slide agglutination method using monospecific or absorbed antisera homologous to the antigens of the genus Candida. Antigenic structures of the species were confirmed by the absorption method. A new thermostable antigen was found in T. candida. Antigenic structures of the four species were shown as follows : T. famata has the thermostable antigens 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 14, and no thermolabile antigen. T. candida has antigen 33 besides the antigens of, T. famata. T. inconspicua has antigens 1, 2, 5, 11, 12, and no thermolabile antigen. T. ernobii has the thermostable antigens 1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 14, 15 and the thermolabile antigen c.

    The authentic strains of the five species of the genus Candida such as C. bovina, C. brumptii, C. intermedia, C. solani and C. monosa were used for antigen analyses by means of slide aggultination method with monospecific or absorbed antisera homologous to antigens of the genera Candida, Hansenula, Saccharomyces and Debaryomyces. Then antiserum of a species was absorbed repeatedly with heated cells of several species of the genera Candida, Hansenula, Saccharomyces, Debaryomyces, Torulopsis and Pikia in order to find a new antigen, until the absorbed antiserum was exhausted. The new thermostable antigen 37, 38 and 39 were found. Antigenic structures of the four species except C. monosa were shown as follows : C. bovina has thermostable antigens 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 27, 28, 32 and 39, C. brumptii has antigens 1, 2 and 19, C. intermedia has antigens 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 24, 27 and 38, C. solani has antigens 1, 2, 5, 11, 12, 20, 21 and 37. But every species has no thermolabile antigen.

    The occurrence of an enzyme extracted from rat liver, which catalyzed the dehydration of tartrate, was reported. It was confirmed that oxalacetate and pyruvate possibly as a result of the decarboxylation of the former were produced from DL-tartrate or meso-tartrate with the enzyme. It was concluded that the enzyme had the highest affinity for D (-) - tartrate, as compared to the enzymes of bacterial sources, on which L (+) - tartrate was most effective.
