A total of twenty-five lateral pterygoid muscles, twenty for macroscopic and five for microscopic study, were obtained with their temporomandibular joints from eighteen adult cadavers. The results were as follows: 1) The lateral pterygoid muscles observed in this study were classified into three types based on the number of their heads; 65% of the macroscopic specimens had two heads (superior and inferior), 20% three heads (superior, inferior and medial), and 15% a single head. 2) The fascicular architecture of the single-headed specimens was quite simple and so the orientation of their fasciculi was parallel or radial to the line of pull. In their course the fasciculi of the two and three-headed specimens showed a relatively complicated architecture, having a large number of crossover fibers between each head. 3) In all specimens observed macroscopically, the uppermost fasciculi were inserted into the articular disc and capsule of the temporomandibular joint and the rest were inserted into the pterygoid fovea of the neck of the mandible, although no clear boundary could be found between them on their lateral surfaces. The bulk of the fasciculi which were inserted into the articular disc relative to the total amount of the lateral pterygoid muscles was estimated as being in the range of one fifth to one tenth. 4) From the microscopical examination of the specimens the cross-sectional area of the fasciculi which were inserted into the articular disc was about 3 mm2 at their attachment and this corresponded to 30% of the superior head and 3% of total amount of the lateral pterygoid muscle. 5) The fasciculi attached to the articular disc were derived from the superior and medial head of the lateral pterygoid muscle and from the temporalis muscle. In two cases of the twenty examined macroscopically, the fasciculi derived from the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscles were inserted into the articular disc.</p>","PeriodicalId":76770,"journal":{"name":"Tsurumi shigaku.

However, none of the conventional methods of assessment are completely objective or quantitative. For solving these problems, a new system has been developed for measuring the mean film thickness of white silicone based on image analyzing. There are several factors that affect the results of the fitness test of the denture base, such as the shape of the denture, the condition of the mucosa within denture bearing area, bite force and the state of occlusal contact. Then, using the new system, these factors were examined for clinical application of the mean film thickness of white silicone. The experiments are composed of three stages. In the first stage, the white silicone was pressurized between two of tablets involved in three types, with a pressurizer. These data resulted in a regression equation applying the rheological equation. In the second stage, pressurizing tests were performed on the models of jaw mucosa with uniform compressibility. The models were categorized into three types according to their compressibility. A result was the more compressible the models of jaw mucosa are, the thicker the white silicone film is. In the third stage, the compressibilities were mixed in the models of jaw mucosa. In the pressurizing test, the compressing dies were modeled on the denture base. Five loading points were established on the surface. Correlation between data obtained from the results of the pressurizing test at each loading point was investigated. The results from these experiments were as follows. 1. The regression equation was established from the compressing test of white silicone between tablets of rigid type.

The total cultivable bacterial number immediately after weaning (3 weeks old) was larger in the caries susceptive strains than in the caries resistant strain. The composition of Gram(+) cocci, Gram(+)rods and Gram(-)rods varied in each strain and Gram(-)cocci were not isolated from any of the strains. The proportion of Gram(+)cocci to the total cultivable bacterial number was larger in the caries susceptive strains than in the caries resistant strain, while S. faecalis was the most predominant species in Gram(+)cocci in all strains. It suggests that S. faecalis existed indigenously on the lower molars of mice at the time of weaning (3 weeks old). The total cultivable bacterial number increased in all strains as feeding with Diet-2000 which contains 30% sucrose started. The number reached its peak on the fifth week, and it either remained the same or slightly declined after that. The number of S. faecalis also reached the peak between third and fifth week. The order of 10(5) - to 10(6) S. faecalis was isolated from the caries susceptive strains, and the order of 10(4) from the caries resistant strain throughout the experimental period. It suggests that C3H/HeN (the caries resistant strain) mice have certain caries resistant factors in the genetic background. Toward the end of the experimental period, S. acidominimus in the caries susceptive mice and Staphylococcus sciuri in the caries resistant mice increased and replaced S. faecalis. Gram(+)rods also increased in the caries susceptive strains. It seems that Gram(+)rods have some relation with the progress of advanced dental caries.</p>","PeriodicalId":76770,"journal":{"name":"Tsurumi shigaku.

An experimental model of rabbits which had received a long-term administration of imipramine was prepared, and electrical stimuli were applied to the infraorbital nerve to determine: i) the circulatory responses (the mean femoral arterial blood pressure, the regional cortical blood flow in the marginal gyrus measured by a hydrogen clearance method and the carotid blood flow measured by using an electromagnetic blood flow meter): and ii) the catecholamine levels in the femoral arterial blood and in the brain tissues, and the imipramine level in the left-ventricular blood measured by high performance liquid chromatography. After norepinephrine (4 micrograms/kg) was infused into the femoral vein, the electrical stimuli were applied to the infraorbital nerve to determine circulatory responses. The rabbits were initially anesthetized with a mixture of nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane during the operation for the placement of the measuring device. During measurement the animal were lightly anesthetized with the same gas under spontaneous respiration through a tracheal cannula. The data obtained from the group of rabbits to which imipramine had been administered were compared with those obtained from the control group. The results of the present study are as follow: 1) The cerebral blood flow in both groups increased significantly (p less than 0.05, p less than 0.01) following the application of the electrical stimuli to the infraorbital nerve. When the same stimuli applied after norepinephrine had been infused into the femoral vein the cerebral blood flow was further increased (p less than 0.01). 2) The natural norepinephrine level in the femoral arterial blood increased significantly (p less than 0.001) in the imipramine group following the application of the electrical stimuli. 3) Although the natural norepinephrine level in the femoral arterial blood increased following the application of the electrical stimuli, the mean femoral arterial blood pressure and the carotid blood flow decreased significantly (p less than 0.05) in the imipramine group.
