In our country, the progress on the study of clinical anatomy seems to be rather inferior to that in western countries, and the number of the graduate of medical school who engages in this field as the staff of the department has also gradually decreased. These tendencies are thought not to be overlooked by the anatomist. Very recently, the first issue of an international medical journal “ANATOMIA CLINICA-Springer International” is published. The author has introduced firstly the editorial and prospect of this journal in this paper, because the author believes that these contents are very significant and necessary for the purpose of the present paper. Secondly, the author has written our several works relating to clinical problems. The contents are following: 1. The topographical anatomy on the splenic vessels-Relationship to the splenic surgery 2. Study of the Meralgia Paraesthetica-Anatomical relation to N. cutaneus femoris lateralis 3. Basic research and clinical investigation of the thymic angiography and 4. Morphological study on the Rami communicantes of the sympathicus-Discussion on the pains of the loin region.
As conclusion, the author intends to emphasize that the contribution of anatomical research will be more essential not only in surgery, but also in all clinical sections, therefor the young doctors who are interested in this scientific field should be encouraged by the importance of their mission.
