Abstract
Data on squamous carcinoma of the cervix from a 20 year study period (1955 to 1974) in metropolitan Toledo revealed a 66% reduction of the average annual age-adjusted incidence rate and a 61% reduction in death rate of cervical squamous carcinoma when the first time period (1955 to 1958) was compared with the last time period (1971 to 1974). The decrease for both morbidity and mortality rates was more pronounced in women age 50 years and younger. The age-adjusted death rate during this study period revealed 15.5/100,000 for black women and 8.7/100,000 for white women. The reduction in death rate of 83% in black women is more prominent than 54.5% in white women. The decrease in both morbidity and mortality for cervical squamous carcinoma has a close relation to cytologic screening activity. The factors of age and race, probably related to socioeconomic status, are two known determinants of risk for cervical squamous carcinoma. Data for endometrial carcinoma during this study period revealed 15.5/100,000 women in the average age-adjusted incidence and an increase of 13.8% in average yearly rates when the first time period (1955 to 1958) were compared with the last time period (1971 to 1974). The peak age was 60 to 64 years old in the first time period and shifted to 70 to 74 years old in the last time period. The trend in metropolitan Toledo is comparable to that of Louisville, Kentucky. The mass cytologic screening program which contributed to a remarkable reduction in morbidity and mortality for the cervical squamous carcinoma, did not have any beneficial effect on endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Spontaneous electrical activity of the isolated frog spinal cord was examined in Ca2+-free environment. Spontaneous discharges from the ventral root altered in four distinguishable steps. The first step was an immediate increase in the rate of spontaneous discharges and the second was a gradual decrease. The third was the occurrence of rhythmical bursts, and the last, the appearance of continuous firing. The rhythmical bursts could be depressed by the addition of metabolic inhibitors (ouabain or dinitrophenol in a concentration of 5 x 10(-5) M) as well as of Ca2+-chelating agents (EDTA or EGTA in a concentration of 10(-3) M). Our results suggest that the occurrence of the rhythmical bursts requires a metabolic pumping process to redistribute Na+ and K+ across the membrane and a small amount of Ca2+ for transmitter secretion.

Abstract
The congenital cystic dilatation of biliary tract is un frequent affection and there are many types described (classification of Alonso Lej). The authors present the observation of a little girl of 12 years who presented a complete cystic dilatation ob biliary tract, diagnosed before the operation by intravenous biligraphy. This association of intra and extra hepatic cystic dilatation has been described in 1964 by Arthur and Stuart, and the diagnosis is to be done by intraveinous biligraphy in 30% of cases.

Abstract
A new solvent elution method is described for the isolation and concentration of volatile metabolites in biological fluids. The procedure involves elution of the sample with a solvent through a micro-column of an adsorbent into glass-wool and evaporation of the excess solvent in a stream of helium at room temperature. The volatiles are revocered by subsequent heat desorption into a chromatogrpaphic system. Both elution and evaporation are made in a single step using a novel sampling device. Since the technique is based on liquid-solid adsorption chromatography, the adsorbent-solvent system which gives the maximum yield of volatile constituents was studied. The method is simple, highly efficient and reproducible, requiring only small volumes of biological fluids (less than 100 mul).

Abstract
Both alpha- and beta-adrenergic antagonists have been utilized in an atempt to discern the site of action of prostaglandin (PG) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the eye. Both alpha- and beta-adrenergic antagonists (alpha-antagonists, phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine; beta-antagonists, propranolol and sotalol) cuased a dose-dependent reduction in intraocular pressure and blood pressure and increased total outflow facility. The results are consistent with the concept that both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors are present in the anterior uvea and that vasomotor tone is essential to the maintenance of normal intraocular pressure. No antagonist reduced the PG-induced elevation of intraocular pressure unless the blood pressure was severely lowered. All antagonists inhibit the normal PG-induced increase in total outflow facility, indicating that these agents protect the blood-aqueous barrier from breakdown without altering the vasodilatory response to PG. All antagonists reduced the fall in intraocular pressure produced by THC by approximately 50 per cent, except for sotalol which completely abolished the intraocular pressure fall. Only the alpha-adrenergic antagonists prevented the THC-induced increase in total outflow facility. The results indicate that true outflow facility may well be regulated exclusively by alpha-receptors. The data are consistent with the effect of THC being primarily a vasodilation of the efferent blood vessels of the anterior uvea. The partial inhibition by alpha-adrenergic antagonists may also suggest a lesser role of THC on the afferent vessels.

Abstract
We studied the aliphatic alcohols in 100 urines from 25 patients with diabetes mellitus under treatment with insulin, oral antidiabetic medication, or special diet. The procedure involves adsorption of the low-molecular-weight urinary metabolites on a porous polymer of 2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide (Tenax GC), gas-chromatographic separation, mass spectrometric identification, and mass fragmentographic representation of the primary alcohols by a computer. The concentrations of ethanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, n-butanol, and isopentanol are increased as compared with urine from normal persons.

Abstract
Changes in both intraocular pressure and total outflow facility were determined after short- and long-term infusion and topical application of prostaglandin E1 and E2. The intraocular pressure with both routes of administration increased within 15 minutes by 10 to 15 mm. Hg; long-term infusion caused the intraocular pressure to be elevated for a longer time, although a fall in intraocualr pressure occurred despite continued infusion. Total outflow facility did not increase until 30 minutes after initiation of treatment and thereafter increased further with time, irrespective of the route of drug application. The initial increase in intraocular pressure is suggested to be the result of vascular changes, namely an increase in the leakiness of the iris vessels and the capillary pressure of the ciliary body vessels caused by the vasodilatory actions of prostaglandins.
