II. Bronchial Stenosis in Human Pulmonary TuberculosisKatsumi Kozu1955 Volume 62 Issue 2 Pages 105-116

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1. Out of 2, 600 bronchoscopic examinations performed on 1, 419 tuberculous patients, bronchial stenosis was found in 194 cases, or 13.7 per cent. If the cases having more than 1 stenosis by themselves were counted repeatedly, the total number of stenosis will become 216.
2. Stenosis was found most frequently in the right upper lobe bronchus, next in the left upper lobe bronchus, and then in the left main bronchus.
3. X-ray examination of the tributary area of the lung conducted at the time the stenosis was bronchoscopically diagnosed disclosed atelectasis in 32 per cent, tension cavity 7 per cent and bronchiectasis 18 per cent.
4. The course of patients was worst in ulcerative stenosis, next in fibroid stenosis and then non-ulcerative inflammatory stenosis. The course was comparatively satisfactory in the mechanical stenosis group, but it was unsatisfactory in the groups of both pneumothorax and extrapleural plombage.
5. In regard to the results of collapse therapy, pneumothorax was the worst and plombage was the next. As compared with these, thoraco-plasty and pneumoperitoneum had better results. The course of 13 cases subjected to pulmonary resection was satisfactory except two cases.
6. In order to obtain satisfactory results of the treatment of pul-monary tuberculosis, thorough considerations should be taken on the presence of stenosis in major bronchi. Further study is needed to prevent the occurrence of stenosis.View full abstractDownload PDF (716K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe characteristics of the EMG of Graves' disease is that the dis-tribution of spike discharge becomes more irregular than normal during, voluntary muscle contraction. This irregularity is due to the following 3 factors.
1. The spike discharges of different motor units are apt to approach.
2. The fluctuation of impulse interval of single motor unit becomes remarkable.
3. Mean impulse interval becomes shorter.
This phenomenon shows a tendency of increase or decrease with toxic symptoms, i.e., high basal metabolism, tachycardia and the instability of the pulse.
It is still unknown how this fluctuation occurs in what part of the motor unit. Further study is required.View full abstractDownload PDF (343K) -

Studies on Protein Fraction. Report VIIIToshio Sato1955 Volume 62 Issue 2 Pages 151-160

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSVarious tests which were made to get satisfactory electrophoretic patterns of the liver extract are described, and the clectrophoretic patterns thus obtained are shown. Clear-cut patterns were constantly obtained with a minimum amount of material when fresh liver tissue was extracted with 0.9 per cent NaCl, treated with alcohol, and dissolved in 0.5 per cent NaOH. The patterns revealed a fraction representing the protein group and a fraction representing the carbohydrate group.View full abstractDownload PDF (434K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe eye was stimulated by subthreshold conditioning electric stimuli of various wave-forms, and then the changes in the electrical excitability of the eye were investigated by applying a single constant current pulse of 0.1 second in duration. Percentage increases in electrical excitability following the conditioning stimulus were denoted by ζ and plotted as ordinates against the time after the conditioning stimulus.
1) In experiments carried out with condenser discharge (C. D.) as conditioning stimulus, the ζ-time curve had a crest at I second for the time constants ranging from 0.0002 to 0.04 seconds, at 1.5 seconds for those from 0.06 to 0.12 seconds and at 2 seconds for those from 0.16 to 0.68 seconds.
2) When exponentially increasing currents (E. I. C.) were used as conditioning stimuli, the crest of the ζ-time curve was found at 2 seconds for the shortest time constant. The crest was shifted toward 3 seconds as the time constant was increased, and there appeared two crests at 3 and 4.5 seconds for the largest time constant.
3) Rectangular pulses from 0.0015 to 0.5 seconds in duration showed effects similar to those of C. D.
4) The effects stated in (1), (2) and (3) are closely similar to the effects of colored lights used instead of the conditioning electric stimuli. From comparison of the effects of both kinds of stimuli, it was concluded that the red and yellow receptors are selectively stimulated by C. D., while the blue and rod receptors are excited by E. I. C. Rectangular pulses seemed to have an action intermediate between C. D. and E. I. C.
5) The effect of the intensity of the conditioning electric stimulus was studied upon ζ values, and it was found that the threshold strength was optimal. This is a striking contrast to the effect of photic stimuli which always increases with increasing intensities.
I wish to express my thanks to Prof. K. Motokawa for suggesting this in-vestigation as well as for constant guidance in the course of the work.View full abstractDownload PDF (1494K)
