Sympatho-adrenal system function was assessed in various age groups of normal subjects and in infants with some abnormal conditions, by assays of daily urinary catecholamine excretion. The urinary catecholamine excretion was prone to increase postnatally with time. The group of children aged 1 to 5 years exhibited a significantly greater urinary catecholamine excretion than the group of newborn infants. No significant difference concerning urinary catecholamine excretion was observed among three age groups, 1–5, 6–10 and 10–20 years of age. This finding is related to rapid growth and maturation of the sympatho-adrenal system in early life with increased catecholamine excretion. Moreover, the urinary catecholamine excretion was remarkably increased at symptomatic exacerbation and declined to a normal level with alleviation of symptoms in a case of respiratory distress syndrome. The present communication is the first to demonstrate the usefulness of urinary catecholamine determination in newborn infants.

We treated 542 patients with trophoblastic diseases from 1965 through 1988, and succeeded in preserving fertility in 269 of them (240 cases of invasive mole and 29 cases of choriocarcinoma). Of the 269 patients, 198 (79.5%) conceived after completing treatment. A total of 396 pregnancies in these women resulted in 295 term live births (74.5%), 51 spontaneous abortions (12.9%), and 4 recurrences of moles (1.0%). Four cases (1.32%) of malformations were discovered. The growth conditions of 101 children born in 1976 or later were followed up until the age of 18 months. Their heights or weights did not differ significantly from those of children measured in national infantile-growth surveys. The psychoneurological development of 54 children up to the age of 7 years who were studied by using infantile mental-development questionnaires showed no marked mental retardation. Our results provide strong evidence of the safety of chemotherapy for the treatment of trophoblastic diseases.

Existence of lymph node metastasis is a risk factor in the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer. But the mechanism of lymph node metastasis and its control factor are not clear. This study was implemented to elucidate this mechanism based on animal experiments. Mouse hepatoma cell (MH 134) was used as the material for Tumor Extract (TE), which was prepared by ultrasonication. After pretreatment with TE at various concentrations and various durations on the left footpads of mice, inoculation of tumor cells was performed at the same site. Regional lymph nodes from this site were obtained after various durations and the rate of lymph node metastasis was histologically observed. Immunocapacity of lymph node cells due to various mitogens were also measured after pretreatment with TE. As a result, pretreatment with TE effected a decrease in immunocapacity of the lymph node cells, especially the T-cells. On the other hand, pretreatment with TE also brought about an increase in the rate of lymph node metastasis. In conclusion it can be said that the soluble substance derived from the cancer mass decreased the immunocapacity of regional lymph nodes. Therefore, lymph node metastasis was considered to have been effected.

Annual reports of perinatal statistics in Japan from about 200 registry hospitals are summarized. A gradual decrease in the perinatal mortality rate has been observed from 16.04 in 1974 to 13.50 in 1978. Among the initially registered 129 hospitals, a similar decrease in perinatal mortality has been observed. Among the 18 main clinical causes of death, the percentages of placenta previa and neonatal respiratory distress exhibited a decrease during the last 5 years. Among the cases of perinatal death, in member hospitals of the Committee on Perinatal Statistics, three criteria were used to determine the perinatal stage for purposes of comparison, namely: 1) a gestational age of 28 or more weeks, or alternatively, birthweights of 2) 500 to 999.9 g or 3) 1000 g or more. Perinatal mortality was lowest in the group weighing 1000 g or more (9.87), slightly higher in the group aged 28 weeks or more (10.94) and highest in 500 to 999.9 g group (14.40). Individual case reports of perinatal death in member hospitals of the Committee are analyzed, and an ICD-based investigation elucidated the characteristic patterns of perinatal death.

We evaluated the frequency of endometriosis among the patients who underwent laparotomy and studied retrospectively the frequency of endometriosis in Japanese women. The frequency of operation for endometriosis has been about 0.6% of all the new outpatients and 10.8% of patients with laparotomy. We found a higher frequency of endometriosis in the most recent period (1977–1979). The mean age of endometriosis patients was 40.74 + 0.65 (mean + SE) years old. Our results indicated that the frequency of endometriosis in Japanese women has increased during the last two decades.

The incidence of fetal malformation was reviewed and an assessment made of the diagnostics of ultrasound. The prognosis of the related cases, as related to the clinical application of ultrasound was discussed. Forty-seven of 56 malformed fetuses were correctly diagnosed antenatally (84%). Diagnostic accuracy in the case of real-time B scan was 91%, while accuracy in the case of contact compound scan was 73%. The disorders most readily identifiable were those related to the image of cystic patterns and/or deformed body contour. Among the 47 with positive findings, an actual plan of treatment was prepared for 9. Of these 9, 6 could actually be treated and the lives of 3 were saved. Deaths were attributed to diagnostic inadequacy, eventual complications and under-development of organs associated with the malformations.

There were 115 patients who had atypical transformation zone on colposcopic examination which attended this study. This prospective study was held in the author's private colposcopy clinic from July 1, 1989 until December 31, 1991. The colposcopic index was used to describe the colposcopic sign of those lesions and histopathology results were adopted as the gold standard of diagnosis. This colposcopic index had an accuration rate of 95.7% compared to histopathology diagnosis.
