Comparison of French and Japanese individuals with reference to Hofstede's concepts of Individualism and Masculinity.

The purpose was to examine whether Japanese individuals were oriented toward collective and masculine values attributed to cultures by Hofstede by comparing them with those of French individuals. There were 110 French participants (54 men, 56 women) and 128 Japanese participants (41 men, 87 women), selected from undergraduate students, employed workers, housewives, and retirees. Their occupational proportion and their ranges of age were balanced in both countries. Scales for Individualism and Masculinity dealt not only with work-related but also general items for workplace, culture, education, and family. Analyses generally showed that the Japanese individuals scored higher on the Masculinity scale and French participants scored higher on the Individualism scale. There was a mean difference between Japanese men and women in how they answered questions about the work-related items concerning Masculinity.

[A comparison of two models of gender-related schematic processing].

An experiment was conducted to compare two models of gender-related schematic processing: Bem's gender schema theory (1981) and self-schema theory by Markus, Crane, Bernstein, and Saladi (1982). While the former argues for a construct that is unidimensional, the latter proposes separate masculine and feminine schemata. Two hundred and thirty-six college students (111 males and 125 females) completed Bem Sex Role Inventory, and then estimated subjective percentages of males and females who had each trait of BSRI. The subjective percentages were used to compute sex-typing scores. After the questionnaires, the subjects attempted free recall of the inventory items, and clustering scores were computed from the results. Data analyses, including those of covariance structure, yielded the following results: 1) The fit of the gender schema model was better than the self-schema model. 2) A strong gender schema was related to a high-congruent self-concept score, a low sex-incongruent self-concept score, a high sex-congruent sex-typing score, a high sex-incongruent sex-typing score, and a high sex-congruent clustering score. As a whole, the results could be summarized to support the gender schema theory.

A case of sick sinus syndrome in primary systemic amyloidosis.

A case of sick sinus syndrome due to primary systemic amyloidosis which involved mainly the heart and lungs is presented. The electrocardiogram showed various changes; low voltage, bradyarrhythmia with junctional escape beats, paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmia that terminates abruptly with subsequent long asystole, junctional rhythm from different origins and complete right bundle branch block which appeared at shorter and longer diastolic intervals. Histological examination showed an extensive amyloid infiltration in the upper parts of the conduction system, with major damage in the sinus node and also elsewhere in the heart. The patient died despite pacemaker implantation.

Dissolution of cholesterol gallstones by ursodeoxycholic acid.

44 patients with radiolucent gallstones in gallbladders visible on cholecystography were randomly alloted to three treatment groups: ursodeoxycholic acid (600 mg/day), ursodeoxycholic acid (150 mg/day), a placebo. At the end of six months' treatment, cholecystograms of all the patients were interpreted by radiologists who were not aware of the treatment. Dissolution of gallstones occurred in 8 (26%) of the 31 patients treated with ursodeoxycholic acid, but not in the placebo group. Ursodeoxycholic acid had no hepatotoxicity, as assessed by standard liver-function tests. These results indicate that ursodeoxycholic acid, the 7beta epimer of chenodeoxycholic acid, is effective in the dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.
