By means of the thin layer chromatography (TLC) a study was carried out on the decomposition of methyl parathion, ethyl parathion and sumithion when exposed to heat or ultra-violet irradiation. The results are briefly summarized as follows. 1. Parathions, when exposed to heat, form hydrolysates and such 0-analog as paraoxon as well as S-alky1 isomers. 2. When parathions are exposed to ultra-violet rays at 365 mμ and 254 mμ, the rate of decomposition is extremely slow. For example, when exposed to such rays in Petri dish for 5 hours, only a small amount of S-alkyl isomer is formed. 3. After heating parathions in a small test tube and conducting TLC, when each 0-analog and S-alkyl isomer above mentioned is confirmed, it is possible to identify a minute amount of each parathion by this method, and thus this method is feasible to apply to practical poison examination as a rapid and simple qualitative examination method.

With this E. coli cardiolipin a study was made on its reactivity to Wassermann antibody reagin by OGATA'S box titration, and the following results were obtained. L The purity of cardiolipin prepared from E. coli has been found to be satisfactory on the thin-layer chromatogram, by its chemical analyses and by its infrared spectrum study. 2. The composition of fatty acids of E. coli cardiolipin differed considerably from that of beef heart cardiolipin in the point that unsaturated fatty acids occupied only less than 66% in the former. Therefore, in the preparation of antigen, EtOH containing 20% tetrahydrofuran was used, which gave a clear solution, as E. coli cardiolipin did not dissolve completely in EtOH solution. 3. In the reaction made to take place with the serum from rabbit immunized with beef heart cardiolipin, E. coli cardiolipin gave almost the same reactivity to that of beef heart cardiolipin. 4. The reactivity of E. coli cardiolipin to the sera of syphilitic patients was also paretically the same as that of OGATA'S antigen, while it did not show any reactivity against the sera of normal person.

Effects of aminopterin and bromouracil on hemopoiesis and hemoglobin synthesis in anemic rat en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=For the purpose to see how the suppression of the nucleic acid synthesis disturbs the cell specialization process the author observed the erythroid cell specialization in anemic rats by treating them with aminopterin (AP) and 5-bromouracil (BU). The observations indicate that the AP injection inhibits the mitosis of erythroblast with the acceleration of hemoglobin synthesis and the denucleation. The bromouracil administration scarcely suppressed the mitosis and the appearance of acidophilicity of erythroblast was retarded. Data indicate that the inhibition of mitosis accelerates the specialization or somatic protein synthesis of erythroblast. The acting mechanisms of the medicaments were discussed from the characteristics of these agents as the analogue of the substances related to DNA metabolism.

These two cell groups in contact were fixed with OsO4, solution and the ultra-thin sections were observed in the electron microscope. As a result the following findings were obtained. In the interaction where lymph node cells become attached to JTC-ll cells, resulting in the destruction of JTC-ll cells, lymphnode cells were also destroyed. Effector cells seem to be a kind of cells in the lymph nodes, and from their morphological characteristics they are considered to be lymphocytes. Electron microscopic observations of the surface of contact revealed the following: some cells are adhered to one another at the surfaces of the cell membranes that run in parallel; some are in contact by means of filamentous projection of lymhocytes; the cell membranes of the two cells form interdigitation; and both surfaces of two cell membranes are disrupted at the point of contact and the cytoplasm of the two cells appears to be directly connected with one another.
