[Behavior of various serum enzymes following ligation of the superior mesenteric artery in the rat (preliminary report)].

In rats, shortly after ligation of superior mesenteric artery serum enzyme activities are found significantly altered. Those changes concern aspartate aminotransferase (GOT), alanine aminotransferase (GPT), lipase, alpha amylase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase as well as glutamate dehydrogenase. The causes are discussed. The authors emphasize that the assessment of serum enzymes possibly gives some help in diagnosing acute intestinal ischemias in early stages.

[Determination of pregnancy duration following terminated hormonal contraception].

The duration of pregnancy as assessed by the rule of Naegele was significant different between patients who became pregnant following termination of oral contraception and patients, who had not taken oral contraceptives. The intervall between stopping the pill and pregnancy was two month. We found a relatively high pregnancy rate in the first three month. The clinical significance is discussed.

[Relationship between clinical parameters and labor (author's transl)].

In 200 cases of childbirth supervised by intra-amniotic tocometry the relations between various clinical parameters such as age, parity, gestosis, rise of temperature, birth weight, small circumference of the head, duration of the cervical dilatation and the expulsion period, and the exactly defined motility of the uterus were investigated during different phases. The results confirmed the very limited influence of selected clinical phenomena upon the multifactiorially regulated total complex of labour.

Virulence properties of Escherichia coli strains in patients with chronic pyelonephritis.

In 50 Escherichia coli strains obtained from the bladder puncture urine of patients with chronic pyelonephritis, determinations of virulence properties were performed. All of the E. coli strains isolated from 26 acute episodes of pyelonephritis were found in the smooth form. 30% possessed K 1 antigen, 77% showed the ability to form hemolysin and 30% produced colicin V (aerobactin). Fimbriae (detected by mannose-resistant hemagglutination) were registered in 81%, and plasmids ranging between 50 and 70 Md were demonstrated in 70% of the bacteria. In contrast to this, only 70% of the E. coli strains isolated from 24 patients at an inactive stage of pyelonephritis were found in the smooth form; 10% of these encoded K 1 antigen, 20% hemolysin and 10% colicin V. Plasmids in the range 50 to 70 Md could be found in 30%. On the basis of multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis, it was confirmed that uropathogenic strains possess several virulence properties, mannose-resistant hemagglutination being of particular importance.

[Epidemiologic aspects of disability caused by rheumatic diseases in the Gera district, East Germany].

In the period 1968-1977, the mean annual invalidization rates due to rheumatic diseases in the district of Gera are 36.6 for the female insured population, 19.3 for the male one, per 10(5) persons. After the age of 40, invalidization rates are rising steeply. Degenerative arthropathies (osteoarthroses and displacements of the intervertebral disk or vertebrogenic pain syndromes) constitute more than four fifths of all first-time invalidizations. First-time invalidization was done, on average, 7 years before reaching the age-limit provided by law for old-age pension, in one third temporally limited. The longitudinal monitoring of the invalidzation rates supports the hypothesis that clinical manifestations of degenerative arthropathies are increasing.

[Computerized analysis of intrapartum cardiotocograms].

307 monitored labors were investigated by means of a discrimination function (DF) in relation to qualitative CTG-parameters. In this connection we could confirm on the one hand well defined qualitative CTG-criteria in their clinical importance by computation corresponding to "normal", "prepathological" (warning-signs) and "pathological" (signs of hypoxia). On the other hand we could demonstrate the exactly recognition of qualitative CTG-parameters in attendance of computation. The boundary ranges of discrimination function resulting from the automatic CTG-analysis respecting fetal condition turned out to be reproduced and clinically reliable. The prediction with regard to neonatal parameters (pHNA, APGAR-score 5 minutes after delivery) is justifying the employment of present soft ware in clinical practice.
