Electromyographic study of two-joint muscles.

To determine the nervous control of two-joint muscles and their coordination with other muscles in monoarticular and biarticular motions, action patterns of important two-joint muscles (rectus femoris and the medial hamstrings) and related one-joint muscles were observed. The EMG analysis of ten subjects led to the conclusion that the effect of contraction of two-joint muscles is never limited to one joint; whenever a two-joint muscle participates in a monoarticular motion its role shifts in close coordination with the other muscles. In biarticular concurrent motion the activity of the rectus femoris and the medial hamstrings is inhibited when they are antagonists, especially when motion of the knee is concerned.

Adjuvant action of garlic sugar solution in animals immunized with Ehrlich ascites tumor cells attenuated with allicin.

Ethanol-insoluble components were extracted from fresh garlic with 0.9% NaCl solution containing streptomycin and penicillin. This extract, containing approximately 10% sugar, 0.3% nitrogen, and 0.4% ash, was termed garlic sugar solution. This garlic sugar solution (Medium 1) was used as the suspending medium for Ehrlich ascites tumor cells attenuated with allicin, the main principle of garlic, and 0.9% NaCl solution containing streptomycin and penicillin (Medium 2) was also used as the suspending medium. Mice of DDD strain were immunized with the attenuated tumor cells suspended in Medium 1 or 2. After immunization, the immunized and control mice were challenged intraperitoneally with viable Ehrlich ascites tumorcells. Animals immunized with the attenuated tumor cells suspended in Medium 1 acquired significantly stronger resistance against the tumor cells than animals immunized with those suspended in Medium 2.
