The authors has observed the effect of X-ray irradiation on the dentin matrix formation of the albino rat fetuses. The lower abdomen of the pregnant ratswere exposed to X-ray on the 9 1/2th day of gestation, respectively 150, 250 and 350 rads. The fetuses of the right sides of the same pregnant rats which were not exposed to X-ray were as controls. The results were as follows: 1) In the 150 rads irradiated fetuses, predentin formation was identical with control groups, but the arrangement of odontoblasts was distorted, subodontoblastic layer was condesed with pulp cells and blood capillaries were enlarged. 2) In the 250 rads irradiation, dentin matrix was imperfact or osteodentin was occured. Short columnar or cuboidal odontoblasts were presented and pulp cells were dispersed. Blood capillaries were cogested. 3) 350 rads irradiated fetuses showed osteodentin matrix and numerous degenerated odontoblasts. Their dental papilla showed reticular atrophy and enlarged capillary.

The author observed the effects of the cobalt-60 irradiation on the amelogenesis and dentinogenesis of the albino rat fetuses by means of histological and histochemical methods. Females in oestrus were mated overnight and examined the next morning for evidence of copulation. The lower left abdomen of mothers were exposed to cobalt-60 irradiation on the 10th day of gestation, l00R 200R and 300R respectively. The fetuses were removed from the mothers on the 18th day of gestation. The employed histochemical methods were PAS reaction, colloidal iron reaction, aldehyde fuchsin stain, α-amino acid reaction, -SH radical reaction and methyl- green pyronin stain. The results were as follows; 1. The group irradiated by l00R made no histological differences in comparison with the control group. 2. Increasing the irradiation to 200R, abnormal dentin formation occured, and resulted in enamel hypoplasia and in atrophy and necrosis of odontoblasts. In dentinal papilla, the dilation and the degeneration of the blood vessels, excessive reticular atrophy and osteodentin were revealed. 3. With the more irradiation (200R-300R), the positive material of PAS, α-amino acid and aldehyde fuchsin tended to decrease in the ameloblast and the odontoblast. No significant changes appeared in DNA, the stainability of methylgreen pyronin.

The effect of aflatoxin-contaminated corn on albino mice was investigated using the sperm morphology assay. Blood parameter levels including; total white blood cells (WBC), total red blood cells (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), serum bilirubin (SB) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were also determined in the tested mice. Test mice were exposed to aflatoxin-contaminated corn (contamination level of 100 ppb) for $1{\sim}4$ weeks while aflatoxin-free corn and cyclophosphamide were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. Sperm cells showed varieties of morphological abnormality when assessed after 5 weeks. The percentage frequencies of the negative and positive controls were 18.8% and 48.87%, respectively, while the percentage abnormalities for the 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks exposures were 41.38%, 48.17%, 57.13% and 61.67%, respectively. PCV, WBC, total bilirubin and glucose level values of mice in all concentrations were higher and statistically significant as compared to the negative control values using Dunnett's test. Therefore, abnormal sperm cell induction is concentrationdependent such that continuous consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated corn is capable of negatively affecting spermatogenesis by inducing or increasing the frequency of morphologically abnormal sperm cells produced.

Attempts have been made upon the temperature response of the rat induced by some central nervous system depressants as well as stimulants, so as to secure some hidden facets of Panax Ginseng acting upon central nervous system. Although considerable works have been done with regard to Panax Ginseng, it is quite apparent that neither definite implication in terms of its effective chemical constituents is with us nor its pharmacological activity thus far. The author could, however, arrive at some results through procedures preceded by intraperitoneal administration of various drugs in combination with Panax Ginseng in albino rats, that is: (1) Nembutal and chlorpromazine displayed a highly inhibitory effect upon temperature response in the presence of Panax Ginseng, while meprobamate, reserpine, phenacetin and aspirin exerted potentiation actions upon hypothermia. Phenobarbital, serotonin and histamine, on the contrary, did not appear to produce any effect of significance. (2) Nembutal with Panax Ginseng caused prolongation of hypnosis in rat, whereas sodium phenobarbital did not have any effect on it. (3) $LD_{-50}$ in each experimental group of administration of central nervous system stimulants such as strychnine, picrotoxin with Panax Ginseng, necessitated marked increase in the lethal doses. The observations from this study seemed to imply that the complicated mechanism of action of Panax Ginseng might be referred to both central nervous depressive action and influence to basal metabolic rate of mammalian.

'Gunja' is attributable to the plant Abrus precatorius L. (Leguminosae). Three forms with red, brown and another with white seeds are known to occur in this species and are employed for different therapeutic uses viz. as purgative, emetic, aphrodisiac, tonic and also as an abortifacient. According to some Ayurvedic literature the seeds are poisonous and should be given to the patients after proper processing ('Shodhan'). A comparative study of various phytochemical parameters, namely, percentage of successive extractives, total proteins, tannins, total ash and acid insoluble ash of these three forms of the processed (with cow's milk and Kanji) and unprocessed seeds was done. TLC and densitometric scanning of successive extractives was also carried out to serve as markers for processed and unprocessed seeds. The percentage of proteins, tannins, alcohol and water soluble extractives decreased in the processed material. Besides, their acute toxicity, CNS activity were also studied in albino mice and it was found that white seeds are more toxic as compared to the red and brown. The toxic effect was reduced with the processing. Further, the 'Kanji' processed seeds are less toxic than the milk processed one.

A new series of Mn(II) and Mo(VI) complexes containing the Schiff bases hydrazinecarbothioamide and hydrazinecarboxamide of 5,6-dimethyl-1H-indol-2,3-dione have been synthesized. The nature of bonding and the stereochemistry of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations and spectral studies viz. electronic IR, ESR, $^1H$ NMR and $^{13}C$ NMR and X-ray diffraction spectral studies. The magnetic moment values of the manganese(II) complexes are in the range of 5.80-6.15 B.M. suggesting a high spin state of manganese in these complexes. The spectral data are consistent with a tetrahedral geometry around Mn(II) and an octahedral geometry for Mo(VI), in which the ligands act as bidentate chelating agents, coordinated through the nitrogen and sulfur/oxygen atoms. The ligands and their metal complexes have been tested against a number of pathogenic fungi and bacteria at different concentrations and were found to possess sufficient fungicidal and bactericidal properties. Further, the complexes were also tested for their antifertility activity in male albino rats and the results were indeed positive.

The antihypertensive effect of $\alpha-Methyldopa$ administered concurrently with timolol or labetalol were studied with spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Every drugs were administered orally once a day after prechecking the systolic blood pressure and heart rate of SHR. The blood pressure and heart rate of SHR were significantly decreased in groups of combination while those of non-combination groups were fallen slightly. Compared with control group, the significant changes of blood pressure was obseved in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol(100mg+2mg/kg)and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (100mg+12.5mg/kg). The group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolo 1 (100mg + 1.0mg/kg) reduced blood Pressure in similar degree as manifested in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (100mg + 50mg/kg). In the group that $\alpha-methyldopa$ was administered concurrently with timolol, the maximum antihypertensive effect and heart rate decreasing effect were appeared after 3hr and 1hr of administration respectively and those effects in group of $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol were appeared after 6hr of administration. The acute oral toxicity test was performed using albino mice with $\alpha-methyldopa$ alone, $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol (100:1) and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetatol (4:1), and was found that the $LD_{50}$ of $\alpha-methyldopa$ alone was 1104 mg/kg, $\alpha-methyldopa$ with timolol (100:1) was 1115 mg/kg and $\alpha-methyldopa$ with labetalol (4:1) was 354mg/kg.

The distribution of radiophosphorus ($^{32}P$) was observed in three groups of female Albino tat consisted of early pregnancy group (10 days of pregnancy), late pregnancy group (18 days of pregnancy) and nonpregnanted control group. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The various sites arranged in the descending of absorption rate of $^{32}P$ were femur, mandible, liver, spleen, ovary, fetus (only from early pregnancy group) and kidney in both groups of non-pregnanted and early pregnancy and femur, mandible, fetus, liver, ovary, spleen and kidney in the late pregnancy group. 2. The significant difference (P<0.05) in the absorption rate was found between femur and mandible in the early pregnancy group. 3. The absorption rate of fetus from late pregnancy group was significantly (P<0.01) higher than that of fetus from the early pregnancy group. 4. The high absorption rate was observed with femur and mandible in both groups of non-pregnanted and early pregnancy. 5. The significantly (P<0.01) high absorption rate was observed with ovary and fetus from the late pregnancy group.
