Marburg experiment on surgical research: a five-years' experience on the cooperation between clinical and theoretical surgeons.

The organisation of surgical research in Marburg is an experiment which has run for five-years and war carried out in attempt to establish a cooperation between clinical and theoretical surgeons (scientists in basic research). The experiment was started 1970 by creating a Division of Experimental Surgery and Pathological Biochemistry at the Surgery Clinic of the University. Structures and functions in this experiment were 6 small working teams, special services for the teams and for the whole Department of Surgery as well as a training programme in surgical research for theoretical surgeons. Success and failure in the experiment were evaluated by criteria testing three principal functions of surgical research: Training of clinical and theoretical surgeons in methods and techniques of surgical research, performance of controlled clinical trials and basic research in surgery. The early results of the Marburg experiment seem to be promising.

Histamine and peptic ulcer: a prospective study of mucosal histamine concentration in duodenal ulcer patients and in control subjects suffering from various gastrointestinal diseases.

In a prospective study the histamine content of the mucosa of the body of the stomach was measured in 100 patients consisting of control subjects, patients with duodenal ulcer and patients suffering from various gastrointestinal diseases. The histamine content was found to be 43 mug/g in male control subjects (median) while in duodenal ulcer patients levels attained were significantly lower by about 30 per cent. In all the other groups of patients histamine concentrations in gastric mucosa were found to be "normal". Since in most species it is extremely diffcult to alter the mucosal histamine concentration by any form of treatment, the diminished histamine content of the gastric mucosa in patients with duodenal ulcer seems remarkable. Among several possible explanations offered for this finding we think the most likely is that histamine release is increased in duodenal ulcer disease.

[Reproducibility and specificity of insulin-injection and insulin-infusion tests in the examination of complete vagotomy].

The reproducibility of insulin injection tests, the comparison of insulin injection and insulin infusion tests and the specificity of the insulin injection tests were investigated in 74 duodenal ulcer patients. New failures of the insulin test were detected. The criterion of BACHRACH produced more positive "insulin tests" after injection of sodium chloride than after insulin itself. Therefore it is recommended that in single cases (recurrent ulcer) insulin injection tests (HOLLANDER criterion) should be repeated and that a sodium chloride test should be performed.

Effect of amodiaquine on gastric histamine methyltransferase and on histamine-stimulated gastric secretion.

1 Amodiaquine was found to be a potent inhibitor in vitro of gastric histamine methyltransferase from human and canine corpus and from pig antrum. The ID50 for the enzyme, purified from pig antrum mucosa by ultracentrifugation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, was 2.5 muM. 2 In six dogs with Heidenhanin pouches the maximum secretory response to histamine (40 mug/kg i.m.) was augmented by i.m. injection of amodiaquine. The augmentation depended on the dose of amodiaquine, the optimum effect (40% increase in volume of gastric juice, 80% in acid output) being achieved with 2 mg/kg. The maximum secretory response to betazole was also enhanced by amodiaquine. 3 It was suggested that amodiaquine may enhance the histamine and betazole stimulated gastric secretion by an inhibition of gastric histamine methyltransferase in vivo.
