[Prevalence of protozoans helminths among cats purchased for experimental use in the Kanto Area].

Prevalence of protozoan and helminth parasites in adult cats for experimental use obtained from Kanto area, Japan during the period of 1973-74 (91 cats) and 1980-81 (80 cats) was investigated by means of autopsy, fecal examination and serological tests. No protozoa were found in blood smear specimens. The rate of positive Toxoplasma antibody tests was 65.4% (hemagglutination test) in 1973-74 and 26.3% (latex agglutination test) in 1980-81. Oocysts of coccidia found in feces were Isospora felis and I. rivolta. In the intestine of 63.7% (1980-81) and 69.2% (1973-74) of the cats, one or more species of helminth parasites were found. The helminth parasites found in the intestine were Toxocara cati, Ancylostoma tubaeforme, Taenia taeniaeformis, Dipylidium caninum, Spirometra erinacei and Pharyngostomum cordatum. Physaloptera sp., Dirofilaria immitis, Clonorchis sinensis and Capillaria plica were found in the stomach, heart, bile duct and urinary bladder, respectively. Differences between the results in 1973-74 and that in 1980-81 were discussed.

Effects of storage of jaws in saline and of velocity of loading on the force required to extract the rat mandibular first molar.

Storage of jaws in cold saline for up to 32 h did not cause significant changes in the ultimate loads required to extract the rat mandibular first molar. The mean ultimate loads were 33.05, 34.91 and 36.38 newtons at the extension rates 1, 5 and 25 mm/min respectively, though the differences were not significant between groups. The force required to extract the tooth would be fairly constant even after the storage of the dissected jaws in cold saline for longer periods of time. Changes in the force required were not detectable within the range of the velocities of loading employed.

Dismembered pyelolithotomy: new procedure for removal of renal calculi.

A new operative technique for the removal of renal calculi, dismembered pyelolithotomy, is described. This operation was performed on 6 patients with staghorn renal calculi or multiple renal calculi with satisfactory results. This approach is effective in removing renal calculi without renal ischemic damage.
