204 GLANDS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE 



Entwicklung , Bau and Bedeutung der Keimdruesen- 

 zwischenzellen (development, structure and significance of 

 the interstitial cells of the gonads) (J. F. Bergman, 

 Munich) . Voronoff gives an account of his experiments in 

 the book entitled Life (E. P. Dutton & Co., New York). 

 An analysis of the behavior of organs after transplantation 

 is discussed by L. Loeb (Journal of Medical Research, 

 volume 39, page 189, 1918). An editorial in the Journal 

 of the American Medical Association (volume 75, page 

 1070, 1920) should also be consulted. J. S. Horsley is 

 the author of an instructive article on the "Suturing of 

 Blood Vessels" (Journal of the American Medical Asso- 

 ciation, volume 77, page 117, 1921). 



THE PANCREAS AND THE LIVER. ( See also the "general" 

 references above.) There is a mass of literature on these 

 organs; we can refer to but one or two recent articles. 

 See, for example, E. P. Joslin: Diabetes Mellitus (Lea & 

 Febiger, Philadelphia); F. M. Allen: Diabetes Mellitus 

 (Physiatric Institute, Morristown, N. J.) ; E. P. Joslin: 

 "The Prevention of Diabetes Mellitus" (Journal of the 

 American Medical Association, volume 76, page 8, 1921), 

 wherein we find the cry that diabetes is a penalty for 

 obesity; J. J. E. Macleod: "The Sugars of the Blood" 

 (Physiological Reviews, volume 1, page 208, 1921), a 

 comprehensive review of the significance of blood sugar; 

 and E. Langfeld's series of articles on the significance of 

 a physico-chemical factor, the hydrogen ion content, in the 

 regulation of blood sugar (Journal of Biological Chem- 

 istry, volume 46, pages 381, 393, 403, 1921).
