[Multicenter study of obstetrico-perinatologic quality control in the Rostock district. I. Comparative medical statistics].
Report about outcome-quality assessment in obstetrics and perinatology using an uniform check list for data collection in the district of Rostock. Various possibilities of outprint of the results in 1985 are demonstrated. For daily data collection in obstetrics a special book has been developed. The investigation concerns a data pool of more than 55,000 deliveries. Considering a trend of the results the following optimal criteria in obstetrics and perinatology are postulated: (table; see text) The check list of the Society of Perinatal Medicine of the GDR for obstetrical and neonatal data collection should be generally used. The soft ware for the computed data analyses has been developed by the "Rechenzentrum der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald". Analysis and output of obstetrical and perinatological datas by means of a personal computer are prepared.
[New organizational forms of basic prenatal care. Report of experiences following 5-year use].
A new form of antenatal care, introduced in 1981, is reported. It is based on a division of labour between doctor and midwife and demands an increasing number of consultations, vaginal control of the cervix in the period of advanced danger of premature delivery and includes a short psycho-prophylactic programme. The results reached from 1981 up to 1985 are reported and the essential points of the new system of antenatal care have been discussed.
[Animal experiments using adjuvant 5-FU and BCNU chemotherapy in stomach cancer].
Primary xenotransplantation of tissue from six human gastric cancers onto 'nude' mice was followed by a positive tumor take in all cases. One tumor showed aggressive growth and underwent a series of four passages on 'nude' mice. Characteristics of this tumor were an increasing speed of growth and pathohistological changes in the growth pattern. Chemotherapy with 5-FU and BCNU was followed by a decrease in volume compared with untreated controls. On the basis of our results a comparison between groups of patients and tumor-bearing 'nude' mice undergoing this chemotherapy is justified.
