[S. A. Tissot and his effect on the "Dessau-Wörlitzer Cultural Circle"].
In the 2nd half of the 18th century, the small Duchy of Anhalt-Dessau was the model of an enlightened State, also in matters of health policy. The author stresses the influence of the Swiss Samuel-André Tissot on both Prince Leopold Friedrich Franz (1740-1817) and his foremost physician, Samuel Friedrich Kretzschmar (1730-1793). Tissot's influence manifested itself also in the early introduction of variolation.

[Johann Andreas Eisenbarth (1663-1727].
In honour the life of the important occultist and barber Johann Andreas Eisenbarth (1663-1727) is described. His name lives over the centuries in songs and romans and represented the traditional poor type of contemporary surgeons. But in the last decades this picture have been revised by research. In a short review of his life way these new therapeutic measures are presented. His therapeutic work in difference of his colleagues is described.
[Thirty years of hemodialysis treatment at Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg].
An artificial kidney has been taken into operation in the clinic for surgery of the University of Halle-Wittenberg since 1959. This was the second clinical arrangement in the DDR. The indication of the application evolved by the acute renal failure, about the chronic renal insufficiency, within to the hemodialysis as an additive for kidney transplantation. Coworkers of our clinic were engaged vigorously in the technical development of this method in the GDR.
[The effect of different factors on the immediate transplant function. A retrospective study of 172 kidney transplants].
The influence of different factors on the immediate function of the transplant was investigated retrospectively in 172 patients. The immediate function of the transplanted kidney was influenced negatively by dehydration of the patient, by intraoperative decrease in blood pressure above 30 mmHg, by an prolonged cold ischemia time, and by the "handling time".
[Experiences with plasmapheresis in the treatment of vascular rejection following kidney transplantation].
In the first 6 weeks after kidney transplantation 15 patients suffering from vascular rejection were treated by 46 plasmapheres. In transplants with additional interstitial rejection the plasmapheresis was introduced after failure of ATG therapy. In 1 patient no histological confirmation was done. In 4 patients the plasmapheresis was successful and in 6 patients suffering from combined vascular and interstitial rejection the ATG therapy was successful only after initial plasmapheresis. In 4 cases the therapy failed to reverse rejection. The early use of plasmapheresis is recommended to obtain the best results.
[The effect of early urologic complications on the prognosis of kidney transplantation].
The early urological complications of 200 patients receiving a kidney allograft between 1985 and 1987 were analyzed retrospectively. In the first 4 weeks after transplantation urological, complications were found in 25 cases (12.5%), with a portion of 74.1% ureteral fistulas. The treatment was conservatively in 4 cases and operatively in 21 patients (84%), in 3 cases a recurrent operation was necessary. After an urological complication the graft prognosis was diminished markedly and the letality was higher in comparison with uncomplicated cases.
[Report of experiences on the use of cyclosporin A].
In September 1985 in our kidney transplantation centre for the first time ciclosporin A was used. Up to now altogether 50 patients received this new form of immunosuppression. During the sand immune application no essential side effects occurred. The success of the change of the therapy was independent of the degree of the serum creatinine level at the time of conversion. In the period of observation we performed altogether 106 kidney transplantations. With 88% of grafts functioning normally at the discharge under application of ciclosporin A we achieved a clear improvement of the results of transplantation in comparison with the classical immunosuppression (53.6%) in the period of observation.
