The present study was conducted to evaluate cry features and cortisol level in 10 healthy, full-term male newborns. For each of them, a total of 10 10-min vocal recording sessions were undertaken when spontaneous crying was displayed. Simultaneously saliva was collected from the subject. The results indicated that the duration of cries and the amount of dysphonation in cries were highly correlated with cortisol level in every infant. When the cortisol level was higher, the cry segments were likely to be longer and dysphonated more frequently. However, the fundamental frequency measures did not show such correlations. The significance of these results are discussed with reference to findings of previous studies on cry perception.

The genetic polymorphism of alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) have been analyzed in Chinese, Korean and remaining Japanese orphan in China populations by isoelectric focusing and immunoblotting technique. Three new variants designated as AHSG*Cl, AHSG*C2 and AHSG*C3 were found. The frequencies of common alleles (AHSG*1 and AHSG*2) were approximately the same among East Asian populations.

Four hundred and sixty-six people were buried at Kambara Village of Province Kozuke (old name of Gunma Pref.), Japan, under the glowing avalanche of volcanic debris due to the violent eruption of Mt. Asama in 1783 (the 3rd year of Temmei), which was followed by the so-called "big famine of Temmei" in the eastern half of this country. Well known were those two ladies buried alive under the flow of volcanic debris at the foot of the stone stairs to Kannon-do temple on a hill at the back of the village who were found in 1979. The present paper is a record of another man also killed by the flow of volcanic debris there. Suffering from chronic osteoarthritis in his left elbow, he was working for Emmyoji Temple at Kambara in those days and killed by the debris flow without warning. His skeleton was excavated at the ruins of this old temple in 1987. He was lying on the right half of his face as well as on his belly with the left arm and right leg extended but the right arm and left leg flexed. His right humerus, radius and ulna were fractured together in their shafts at a blow of a rushing stone in the debris. The findings indicated that a sudden attack of the flow of pyroclastic debris at low temperatures was the death of him. He was placed third among the human victims of the 1783 volcanic activity of Mt. Asama whose skeletons were preserved well and examined in details.

The interpretation of the evolution of human manipulative and locomotor behavior from hominid fossil remains during the Pleistocene requires a clear distinction between changes in relative musculo-skeletal massiveness indicating different levels of activity (robusticity) and alterations in form implying contrasting patterns or frequencies of behavior. A review of ongoing research on Neandertal appendicular morphology with respect to the scapulo-humeral articulation, the pollical and mid-carpal carpo-metacarpal articulations, proximal femoral trabecular orientation, femoral diaphyseal cross-sectional geometry, and proximal pedal phalangeal diaphyseal proportions illustrate the nature of the problems associated with making distinctions between robusticity and shape in fossil hominid remains. Nonetheless, it is apparent that differences in shape, in addition to contrasts in robusticity, exist between the Neandertals and modern humans.

Structural strength of the femur of a Japanese monkey which had been trained for bipedalism for 11 years was studied using CT images. Cross-sectional properties were obtained at below the lesser trochanter level and at mid-length level. The analysis revealed significantly greater strength of the bone compared to ordinary monkeys. Despite greatly increased structural strength, bending rigidity pattern of the diaphysis is similar to that of ordinary monkeys rather than humans. Modifications are more apparent at below the lesser trochanter level than at the mid-length level. This may suggest that the muscle activities, which stabilize the hip joint, severely affect the proximal femur shaft in monkey bipedalism.
