[Sediments on the inner surfaces of the tube of spray-mist suction devices].

Spray mist suction tubes made of polyvinylchloride were examined. Qualitative and quantitative germ determinations of the tube inner surfaces were carried out. To make reproducible examinations a standardized method of germ determination was introduces. Macroscopical model tests, assessments by scanning electron microscopy and chemical analyses dealt with the genesis of the deposits and bacterial coatings in the inner tube. A method has been found which minimizes coating formation by spraying of a contaminating cleaning agent.

[Criteria of high caries risk in the targeted preventive-curative care of 16- to 35-year-olds. The Dresden prevention study].

Among 300 patients 16-35-yr-old 21 of them showed a high individual caries risk. Estimation of caries risk was based on the following criteria: caries experience, sugar consumption, fluoride application, dry mouth, plaque accumulation, secretion rate, buffer capacity and S. mutans and lactobacillus counts in saliva. In case of high caries risk a sure diagnosis and directed preventive-therapeutic intervention depend on a complex consideration of all the risk factors.

[A clinical trial of pefloxacin (Abaktal) in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis].

The therapeutic effect of Pefloxacin in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis was examined in a randomized clinical trial. The patients in the control group have been treated by gentamycin. With a success rate of 80% in the treatment of acute pyelonephritis caused by various bacteria (E. coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirab.), a side frequency of side effects and a good compliance Pefloxacin is recommended as an effective antimicrobiell drug.

Acute Disease

[The asepsis problem at the office of the ENT physician].

Microorganisms were determined in a microbiological study in the near environment of ENT working places. We found especially saprophytic flora as Micrococcus sp., Staphylococcus epidermidis and aerobic spore-forming microorganisms on 54 examination instruments of 2 outpatient and 2 inpatient treatment areas. In 22% of the instrument examinations, microbiological controls were negative. There were no pathogenic microorganisms.

Antisepsis

[Comparative studies on the bacteriostatic effect of "Grisaldon" and "Cholinesalicylate gel"].

The authors present a choline salicylate gel at present on trial and compare it, by means of microbiologic studies, with Grisaldon as to composition, consistency and bacteriostatic properties. Choline salicylate showed a good bacteriostatic effect. As to Grisaldon, the conditions are considerably less favorable due to the poor solubility of acetylsalicylic acid.
