A Study on glutamic pyruvic and oxaloacetic transaminase of different organs(e.g intestine, seminal vesicle, reticular tissue, uterus, ovary, testes) in Ascaris lumbricoides suis have been investigated. The activity of transaminase were determined on the whole homogenates and subcellular fractions separated by differential centrifugation. The activity of glutamic pyruvic and oxaloacetic were assayed by colorimetric method of Reitman-Frankel. The results were obtained as follows: About ninty percent of the glutamic pyruvic and oxaloacetic transaminase in different organs was found to be localized in the supernatant fraction with the separation of differential centrifugation. And it was found that ten percent of glutamic pyruvic and oxaloacetic transaminase exists in the mitochondrial fraction. The specific activity of glutamic oxaloacetic transnaminase in different organs was relatively higher than the glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity.

We evaluated the role of endoseopic balloon dilatation for esophageal strictures caused by postoperative anastomosis in 5 cases, sclerotherapy in 4 cases, caustic injury in 6 cases, and malignancy in 16 cases. The success rate of balloon dilatation was 100% in postoperative anastomotic and post-scle- rotherapy strictures, 16.7% in caustic stricture, and 62.5% in malignant stricture. The addition of bougienage increased the final success rate of dilatation therapy from 16.7 to 66.7% in caustic stricture, and 62.5 to 93.8% in malignant stricture. The overall one-year recurrence rate in benign stricture was 34.5%. All of the recurrent strictures were successfully retreated by balloon dilatation. In conclusion, endoscopic balloon dilatation is a safe, effective, and easy method for the management of benign esophageal strictures except longstanding caustic stricture, and can be used as an auxiliary therapy prior to more definitive treatments such as esophageal intubation in malignant stricture.

Gynecomastia is a proliferation of glandular tissue of the breast in male and it is the most commonly observed breast disease amongst male patients associated with the negative impact on body image and social health of man. Although the medical therapy is an option with long-standing gynecomastia patients, the less than desirable effectiveness leads to the surgery. Although various techniques have been described for the correction of gynecomastia, the common technique of surgery has been performed with a circumareolar incision. However, this technique has been associated with undesirable complications such as a visible scar on the chest, areola inversion, and nipple necrosis. To remedy such complications, the transaxillary techniques were used in an attempt to avoid scar and the complication of the nipple areola complex. In this study, the surgery for the two patients with Simon’s grade III gynecomastia were performed using the pull-through technique and through the axillary incision. The result of the transaxillary subcutaneous mastectomy technique produced esthetic appearance with little complications.
