Abstract:The symptomatology of 412 hysteric women was investigated and analyzed at the Neuropsychiatric Clinic, Tohoku University Hospital, from 1952 till 1973, according to the study stages, 1952–1957 and 1958–1973, and the patients' residence, both rural and urban. Withdrawal with taciturnity was seen in 27% of them and stubbornness with egocentricity in 14% as the frequent personality traits. Physical distress was significantly a frequent problem in the recent rural patients.Among symptoms insomnia and tinnitus have decreased. Mutism and deviated attitude were seen more frequently in the rural patients. Astasiaabasia and syncope have increased. Generally speaking, hysteric symptomatology seemed to have become of tranquil style recently and the rural patients showed more frequently nonverbal expression in terms of mutism and deviated attitude than the urban patie

摘要:

Abstract:The statistics of neuropsychiatric clinics in two general hospitals in Sendai City were analyzed to investigate the relation between the incidence of hysteria and the urbanization in terms of population density. The proportion of hysteric women to total female patients had decreased in both clinics in recent years. The incidence of hysteric patients seemed to decrease in almost all population sizes of their residential administrative units except for in a couple of population sizes. The incidence of hysteric patients was relatively high in the satellites of the Sendai metropolis. It might be a loss of traditional sociocultural ties in the urbanizing process that increases the risk of hysteria.

摘要:

Abstract:The course and the prognosis of atypical psychosis were discussed on 58 cases. In contrast to schizophrenics, the relative length of admission was quite short. It seemed there was a certain difference in the clinical pictures between the late and early onset groups. We recognized two contradictory tendencies to repeat similar pictures to a certain extent on one hand and to indicate age‐specific properties on the other in the course of psychosis. In a few patients, a compensatory myth formation was observed. And finally, some patients began to display moderate defect symptoms, but the group with defects could be differentiated from the group without defects from the genetical as well as from the clinical viewpoint

摘要:

Abstract:Discussions were held on the clinical properties and the prognosis of 13 adolescent manic‐depressive cases. The precipitating factors were significantly frequent in the first episodes. In general, the successive episodes seemed to become somewhat longer as far as the mixed or atypical episodes were concerned. In addition, the cycle‐duration and the length of intervals seemed also to become longer along with an increase in age. Besides the atypicalness in clinical pictures, we emphasized on the frequent changes in phase‐components even within a few months.The course in most cases was bipolar, while there were a few cases that indicated relatively long remissions lasting for several years after frequent episodes. Only one case was diagnosed as atypical psychosis in the later

摘要:

Abstract:The EEGs of two men (42 and 63 years old) in coma who took large amounts of hypnotica and neuroleptica for intended suicides were occupied by an alpha pattern, and the patients were diagnosed as alphapattern coma. The prominent pattern in their EEGs changed from an alpha pattern to a theta pattern, and subsequently into an alpha pattern of low amplitude. The patients recovered without any residual neurological symptoms.It has been confirmed by our two cases, as well as by other reported cases, that the outcome of the alpha‐pattern coma caused by drug poisoning is favorable. It is concluded that a longitudinal EEG recording should be performed as early as possible when the patient is in a comatose stat

摘要:

Abstract:Pure psychiatric patients at an internal medicine clinic were studied to obtain the basic information about this relatively‐unexplored “frontier” of psychiatric. Among 527 fresh cases examined in two years, 8.2% were psychiatric ones; neurotic cases comprised 4.0%, depressive cases 2.1% and schizophrenic cases 1.7%. About half of the pure psychiatric patients came with hypochondriacal complaints, psychotic or neurotic. The most typical cases in terms of age and sex were a male neurotic in his 30's and a female schizophrenic in her 40's. More psychiatric patients revisit the clinic than do medical patients. The revisiting rate was highest among the depressives. Some Japanese and overseas data were compared with the author'

摘要:

Abstract:A prognosis study was carried out on 30 cases of patients treated with behavior therapy. The treatments, which took more than three years before the study, averaged four years and eight months. The results are as follows: (1) The improvement achieved by therapy was maintained or further improved in 29 cases during the post‐therapeutic period of more than three years. (2) The prognosis largely depended on the grade of improvement at the end of therapy. A complete disappearance of symptoms at the end of therapy did not necessarily mean that it was a fair prognosis. (3) There was no relation between the prognosis and the length of history of illness or the situation of therapy terminated. (4) The impression is that long‐term prognoses are different depending on the main sympt

摘要:

Abstract:The diurnal rhythmicity of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) activity in the nucleus level of the rat brain was examined by the radiochemical micromethod in a light‐dark condition. GAD activity showed a biphasic variation in globus pallidus and substantia nigra (zona reticulata and compacta), but a monophasic variation, i. e. high in the dark, in colliculus superior (stratum griseum superficiale and stratum opticum). As for hypothalamus GAD activity of some nuclei (N. arcuatus, N. periventricularis, N. preopticus, etc.) it indicated a monophasic variation, while that of some nuclei (N. suprachiasmaticus, N. ventromedialis, A. lateralis, etc.) it showed no significant variations despite their proved functional activity with rhythmicit

摘要:

Abstract:The diurnal variations of MAO activities (type A and type B) in the individual hypothalamic nuclei, in addition to some areas of the rat brain, were studied under two different lighting schedules, D‐L condition and D‐D condition.Type A MAO activities in some nuclei increased significantly in the light period in D‐L condition and the change in N. suprachiasmaticus (SCN) and N. supraopticus (SON) was also maintained in D‐D condition. Type B MAO activities in some nuclei showed preferably the opposite phase to that of type A MAO activity.These diurnal changes of each MAO type activity may reflect the biological actions of monoamines in relation to a circadian rhythm of the neuroendocrinological system in the brain to som

摘要:

Abstract:The following conclusions were deduced from the SEPs of 100 normal human subjects, whose mean age was 21.80 ± 1.62. It was confirmed that the waveform of a Group Mean SEP and of a Group SD each converges to a waveform different from a flat horizontal line. The waveform of the Group Mean SEP consisted of 12 components, and was roughly tetraphasic within 500 msec in latency. Large discrepancies were found in the later components between the Group Mean SEP and the Group Schematic SEPs reported by others, although some coincidences were shown in the early components within 100 msec in latency.The results derived from the Scaled SEPs, which were converted from the (unscaled) SEPs, indicated the possibility of a reduction of the data by the Amplitude Scaling
