III. A Contribution to the Mechanism of Incoagulability of Menstrual and Intraperitoneal BloodMasahiro Maki, Haruo Saito1963 Volume 79 Issue 2 Pages 125-129

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1. All menstrual blood samples were capable of high potency caseinolytic and fibrinolytic activity in their euglobulin fraction. All samples lacked fibrinogen and had low inhibitory action on trypsin. A significant amount of plasminogen activator in 1 M potassium thiocyanate extracts was detected on the standard fibrin plate. This fibrinolysis may play a very important role in maintaining fluidity of the menstrum.
2. Blood samples obtained from the peritoneal cavity in cases of ruptured ectopie pregnancy had relatively low proteolytic activity in their euglobulin fraction. All samples lacked fibrinogen and had no potency of inhibitory action on trypsin. It is also suggested that the fluidity mechanism of the intraperitoneal blood is due to fibrinolysis and this fibrinolysis is enhanced by peritoneal plasminogen activator.View full abstractDownload PDF (251K) -
II. Pantothenic Acid Intake of Farming and Fishing VillagersKôzô Ishiguro1963 Volume 79 Issue 2 Pages 130-134
Published: March 25, 1963
Released on J-STAGE: November 28, 2008
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe intake of free pantothenic acid in a farming village showed no differences from that in a fishing village in Miyagi prefecture, Japan, but the intake of its derivatives of and above the pantetheine level was larger in the fishing village, particularly in autumn and winter.
The intake was largest in autumn in both the villagers. The main sources of Pa A and its derivatives were vegetables and fishes (including shellfishes). However cereals proved to be poor sources of pantetheine and its higher derivatives.
The auther expresses his thanks to Prof. E. Takahashi and Dr. S. Kamiyama who have given valuable suggestions.View full abstractDownload PDF (260K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe oxygen consumption and anaerobic glycolysis by the muscle from the patients with progressive muscular dystrophy were manometrically investigated.
The oxygen consumption, on protein basis, of the affected muscle was within normal limits. Its anaerobic glycolysis was, on protein basis, considerably diminished. The decrease of anaerobic glycolysis seemed to be proportionate to the severity of muscular destruction.
In addition to the disturbance in energy storage system due to the decrease of creatinephosphokina, se, the decrease of anaerobic glycolysis also may play a part in causing the decrease of muscular power in this particular disorder.View full abstractDownload PDF (994K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effect of methionine supplementation on the elevation of blood pressure induced by high salt diet was investigated. The results of experiment showed that the addition of 0.2% dl-methionine to the high salt diet with or without liberal supply of vitamin A had a beneficial effect in prevention of occurrence of hypertension.View full abstractDownload PDF (245K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe authors demonstrated in the experiments on human subjects the correlation between the diuretic effect of heparin and the ADH-system. In more than half of their cases heparin inhibited the antidiuretic effect of pitressin. From this finding, the authors emphasized that the effect of heparin on the watermetabolism is at least partly brought about by the ADH-system.View full abstractDownload PDF (326K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1) The validity of using the corrected hematocrit, which was obtained on the basis of assuming that 85μ3 is the ideal corpuscular volume for red blood cells, was discussed.
2) Ninety-two patients were examined by the T3 uptake test, and comparison of the data, obtained by Hamolsky's and Adams' calculations as well as by modified ones applying the corrected hematocrit, was done.
3) The work presented here showed fundamental difference in the locations of the boundaries between the three different diagnostic categories of thyroid function introduced by Adams et al. and Hamolsky et al.
4) This report showed higher labeling of T3 by red blood cells than Hamolsky's reports. The range of K for the euthyroid group was narrower mthis work than in the Adams' report.
5) The results obtained by using the corrected hematocrit on Hamolsky's and Adams' calculations showed better separation between the three diagnostic categories. As long as the corrected hematocrit was applied on Hamolsky's and Adams' calculations, both methods were equally valid to separate the three diagnostic categories.View full abstractDownload PDF (531K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS1) Arterial blood flow was expressed as a power function of arterial radius. In the relation defined by Q=qrn, Q was blood flow, q an organ specific constant, and n had a value about 2.7 regardless of organ difference.
2) On account of the above relation, Hagen-Poiseuille's formula was transformed to Δp=K•q•l'/r4-n Th in which K was an organ unspeeific constant determined by viscosity coefficient of blood and selected units, l' was the effective length and r was the radius of an arterial branch. In the transformed formula, pressure difference between both ends of an unbranching stretch of arteries Δp was given by the product of organ unspeeific and organ specific constants and a quantity determined by anatomical properties of arteries. By means of successive determinations of l'/r4-n by way of any arbitrarily selected route, the total blood pressure drop could be determined by ΣΔp=K•q•Σ l'/r4-n.
3) The relation of the effective branch length l' and the radius r of an arterial system was expressed by l'=hri, in which h and i were organ specific constants. A higher value of i indicated a higher proportion of large arterial branches in the total arterial length.
4) Assuming successive dichotomy of arterial branches, an arterial model was constructed with. radius as a continuous variable. Blood pressure drop between any two given radii could be estimated by the calculation on the model by:
ΔP=K•q•h/1-δg [rg]r1r2 for g ≠ 0 and ΔP=K•q•h/-log δ [log r]r1r2 for g=0.
5) Some organ differences in the pattern of blood pressure gradient and intravascular blood pressure values were confirmed and were discussed in reference to different anatomical properties of arterial systems. Renal. artery was characterized by pronounced acceleration of blood pressure drop in the arteriolar region and by only insignificant pressure drop in its large branches. On the contrary, considerable blood pressure drop took place in large arterial branches of mesenteric, femoral and cerebral arteries in contrast to comparatively mild pressure drop in the arteriolar region. The estimated blood pressure level in the arteriolar region was correlated to the effective length of arterial systems. It was found to be higher in the arterial group with short effective arterial length. It was suggested that arterial systems with high susceptibility to hypertensive arteriolar injuries belonged to arteries with high hood pressure level in the region of r=100μ to r=200μ.
6) Artificial arterial dilatation due to resin infusion. could be defined by a power function of arterial radius. The function could be used as the correction equation of the radius of arterial casts, and the radius of living arteries was estimated on. the basis of blood pressure estimation with corrected arterial models.View full abstractDownload PDF (2157K) -
Report I. Increased Synthesis of δ-Aminolevulinic Acid in Allylisopropylacetamide-induced Porphyria RatTakashi Miyakoshi, Goro Kikuchi1963 Volume 79 Issue 2 Pages 199-208
Published: March 25, 1963
Released on J-STAGE: November 28, 2008
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA chemical porphyria was induced in rat by feeding allylisopropylacetamide (AIA) and activities in liver mitochondria to synthesize aminoketones were studied.
It was shown that the activity to synthesize δ-aminolevulinic acid (δ-ALA) was high in liver mitochondria from AIA-induced porphyria rat, while it was very low in normal rat. In contrast, both mitochondria from normal and AIA-treated rats produced large amounts of aminoacetone and no activity difference was noticed between normal and porphyria rats. The δ-ALA synthesizing activity of liver mitochondria varied significantly according to the reaction conditions employed; particularly the yield of δ-ALA was increased by omitting ADP or Pi from the reaction system under anaerobic conditions.
Activities of terminal respiration systems in AIA-treated rat were found to be unaffected. δ-ALA was scarcely catabolyzed by liver mitochondrial preparations from either of normal and porphyria rats.
Significance of succinyl-CoA supplying system in controling the activity of δ-ALA synthesis was discussed in relation to chemical porphyria.View full abstractDownload PDF (598K)
