Giiiary muscle strongly resembles the heart muscle in its functional behaviour, although from the anatomic point of view, it can be considered part of the smooth or involuntary muscle system. Visual acuity, refractive state, near point of accommodation and accommodative-convergence/ accommodation were studied in 30 persons before and after instillation of 2 drops of 0.01% digitalis solution. The results showed that the chapge of near point of accommodation was significant. So the author concluded, "Digitalis favorably influences the accommodation".

Adenosine deaminase(ADA) is an enzyme capable of catalysing the pathway from adenosine to inosine. Previous studies have shown that this enzyme may be useful in recognition of a tubeculous etiology of pleural, peritoneal, or meningeal effusions. ADA activity was studied in 42 patients with large amount of pericardial effusion. Patients were subdivided into the following four group : (A) 15 cases of tuberculous effusions : (B) 4 with pyogenic effusions : (C) 15 with idiopathic effusions : (D) 9 with malignant effusions. The results were as follows ; 1) The mean ADA activities assessed in pericardial effusions were 134.0+/-77.6U/L in group A : 93.8+/-43.8 in group B : 38.3+/-23.2 in group C : 27.3+/-20.8 in group D. Comparing the level achieved in group A with all others, the difference is significant at the P<0.001 level. 2) The mean ADA activities assessed in sera were 50.7+/-57.2 U/L in group A : 63.5+/-24.1 in group B : 25.9+/-12.0 in group C : 14.0+/-7.5 in group D. Comparing the level achieved in group A with all others, there is no significant difference. 3) Specificity(0.87) and sensitivity(0.93) of the test for the differential diagnosis of patients with tuberculous effusion from those with idiopathic effusion is high, when a value of more than 50 U/L is considered. In conclusion, the assessment of ADA in pericardial effusions is of great value in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis.

This report describes clinical cases of a palato-gingival groove on a maxillary lateral incisor with associated localized periodontal disease and pulp necrosis. The tooth of the first case was extracted because of severe bone destruction. The palato-gingival groove of the second case was eliminated using a round bur, and the resulting defect was filled with synthetic graft and covered by an absorbable membrane. Both diagnosis and treatment of palato-gingival groove were very difficult and usually extraction of the involved tooth is the treatment of choice, but combined endodontic-periodontic treatment allowed the tooth to be saved.

Management of the tumor of the iris and ciliary body is a difficult prablem. 244 cases of iridocyclectomy rather than enucleation had been reported from 1912 to 1970. But there seems to be no histopathological report. The author performed experimental iridocyclectomy in 20 albino rabbits, and observed clinically and pathologically one week interval for 6 weeks post-operathively. Surprisingly only a few cases of complications such as hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment were observed. Post-operative wound healing was good. So the author concluded, "Iridocyclectomy itself isa delicate and difficult surgery, but skillful technique in a definitely indicated case using a operating microscope will get good result".
