[Clinical aspects and diagnosis of the occlusion of upper mesenteric arteries].

Acute mesenteric vascular occlusion is associated with an extremely high mortality. Only the early diagnosis may be helpful in this condition. A directed anamnesis and close observation of clinical signs and symptoms associated with metabolic acidosis, significant base deficit, elevated white blood count, and arteriography could shorten the time period between vascular occlusion and operation. This is the way, which possibly leads to more gratifying results.

[Modification of the oxygen supply of the small intestine demonstrated on the ileus model].

Elevation of the intraluminar pressure of rabbit ileum lowers the oxygen supply of the bowel wall in a pressure dependent manner. After decompression local PO2 exceeds the initial values. The infusion of Rheomacrodex-Sorbit induces an increase of local PO2 in the nondistended ileum. The reaction is enhanced in the distended bowel. The application of glucagon does not influence tissue PO2 significantly in either the distended or the undistended bowel. The infusion of Rheomacrodex-Sorbit as well as decompression of the distended bowel are recommended to improve oxygen supply of bowel wall in ileus.

[Haptoglobin in domestic mammals. V. Plasma haptoglobin level in cattle under pathological conditions].

The haptoglobine concentration in the blood plasma of cattle tends to rise to more than 10 mg/100 ml in the presence of acute inflammation anywhere in the organism. They were 40 mg/100 ml and above in the presence of traumatic reticuloperitonitis. The absence of haptoglobin multiplication in the plasma is a high-probability indicator to the absence of that inflammatory process. chronic inflammation will only in exceptional cases entail plasma-haptoglobin multiplication. Concentrations will not be pathologically increased in cattle with positive reaction to haematological testing for leucosis.

[Adaptive metabolic disorders in erythrocytes during shock].

In patients with shock the metabolic activity of the red blood cells was studied following separation according to cell-age by density layer centrifugation using Stractan II-Urografin solutions. Metabolic acidosis in patients with cardiogenic shock (n = 8) and with postoperative shock (n = 7) induced a pronounced fall in 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) levels and in adenosine triphosphate (ATP), in contrast to a raised lactate-pyruvate ratio. 2,3-DPG values were higher than normal in patients with hypoglycemic shock (n = 12), whereas further measured substrate levels were markedly decreased. The levels of these compounds of the red blood cells revealed a significant difference in the hemolysates derived from cells separated according to cell-age. The shock syndrome was also observed in patients suffering from severe congestive heart failure (n = 10) who received dopamine (300 mug/min) for its known action in improving hemodynamics and renal function. Following drug administration for 150 min a clinical improvement was associated with a change of extent and pattern of the red blood cell metabolic disorder.

[Results following surgery of fibrous subvalvular aortic stenosis in childhood and adolescence].

From 1963 up to the end of June 1974 32 patients were operated on for fibrous subvalvular aortic stenosis in Leipzig (age at operation 6-17 years). 18 patients had concomitant cardiovascular malformations, 4 patients died. The results are discussed in detail. Contrary to other publications the authors adopt the attitude that the operation in subvalvular stenosis is to be recommended even with gradients as low as 50 mm Hg, particularly when haemodynamically significant concomitant malformations are present. Therefore, the measuring of the left ventricular pressure and the localisation of the stenosis by intracardiac diagnostics should be performed not too late. It may be possible that the measuring of the left ventricular pressure must be repeated some years later. Also for the exact evaluation of the post-operative results recatheterisations are necessary.

Diamine oxydase in rabbit small intestine: separations from a soluble monoamine oxidase, properties and pathophysiological significance in intestinal ischemia.

From all mammals investigated so far only in rabbits diamine oxidase could not be detected in any tissue except the gut. Thus this species was chosen for studying the physiological and pathophysiological function of this enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract. By gel filtration on Sephadex G 50 and G 200 the enzyme was purified 100-fold, separated from a soluble monoamine oxidase, and the properties of the two enzymes were determined. Diamine oxidase from rabbit small intestine deaminated putrecine (Km = 1.3 times 10(-4) M, pH-optimum 6.4-6.9) and histamine (Km = 8 times 10(-5) M, pH-optimum 7.5), but not serotonin, and was inhibited by aminoguanidine, but not by pargyline. Soluble monoamine oxidase from rabbit small intestine catabolized serotonin (Km = 1.8 times 10(-4) M, pH-optimum 8.8) but not putrescine and histamine, and was inhibited by pargyline, but not by aminoguanidine. Based on its properties in vitro intestinal diamine oxidase could inactivate the vasoactive biogenic amine histamine in vivo. To confirm this hypothesis, in rabbits the small intestine was damaged severely by inducing total intestinal ischemia, which occurs as mesenteric infarction also in human subjects and is accompanied by histamine release. Treatment with aminoguanidine and ischemia killed the animals 3-times faster than ischemia alone, which supported our hypothesis on a protective role of intestinal diamine oxidase against histamine.

[Effect of insulin and glucagon on the anomeric composition of D-glucose in blood (author's transl)].

The effect of insulin and glucagon on the anomeric composition of D-glucose in blood of children in the timecourse of tolerance tests has been investigated. Employing an improved enzymatic micromethod, specific for the anomers of D-glucose, insulin could be shown to raise the percentage of the alpha-anomer of the total serum glucose, whereas glucagon has no direct effect on the anomeric composition. However, an insulin-like effect could be observed in the second part of the glucagon tolerance test, e.g. alpha-D-glucose increased relatively to total glucose in serum and erythrocytes.

[Haptoglobulin in domestic mammals. IV. Experimental influencing of the haptoglobulin level].

The effects of turpentine oil, vaccines, pyrogens, corticotrophin, prednisolone, adrenaline and autologous haemoglobin on the haptoglobin content of plasma was investigated in cattle and pigs. In comparison with rabbits, relatively small doses of turpentine oil led to a considerable increase in haptoglobin, a 50% increase occurring within 4 to 6 days in pigs and only 1.5-2 days in cattle. Bacterial products also increased haptoglobin. It was confirmed that pigs react very rapidly (after 8 hours) to injection of corticotrophin, prednisolone or adrenaline with an increase in plasma haptoglobin. Following complete saturation of infused haemoglobin by haptoglobin, new haptoglobin was rapidly formed, so that the initial haptoglobin concentration was regained about 24 hours after infusion of haemoglobin.
