[Intestinal metaplasia and fungus involvement in peptic and neoplastic lesions of the mucosa of the stomach]. / Intestinale Metaplasie und Pilzbefall bei peptischen und neoplastischen Schleimhautläsionen des Magens.

260 ulcers and 128 cancers were found by means of stomach biopsies. Analyzing the coincidence of ulcer resp. cancer with intestinal metaplasia or fungus contamination about double the frequency of linkage to intestinal metaplasia (26% versus 15%) and likewise to fungus contamination (13% versus 7%) could be ascertained.--The figures in the combinations of cancer resp. ulcer with fungus infection and IM (4% cancer; 2% ulcers) were strikingly low. This is to be explained by an increased immunologic defense function of the intestinalised stomach mucosa.--Following demands of practice any neoplastic process with ulcerated fungi-contaminated lesion of stomach mucosa has to be safely excluded.

[Method of quantitative iron determination in the serum, urine and tissue]. / Zur Methodik der quantitativen Eisenbestimmung im Serum, Harn und Gewebe.

In this paper the methodology of the quantitative determination of the iron in serum, urine and tissue is described. For the quantitative recognition of the iron in the serum the photometric determination with bathophenanthroline as well as the atomic absorption spectrophotometry may be used. The atomic absorption spectrophotometry may be used. The atomic absorption spectrophotometry is particularly suited for the measurement of the iron content in the urine. Tissue is disintegrated by wet ash formation and also determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

[Liver alterations in newborn rabbits after maternal thrombin shock (author's transl)]. / Morphologische Leberveränderungen bei neugeborenen Kaninchen nach thrombininduziertem Schock der Muttertiere.

Intrauterine asphyxia has been induced in immature and mature newborn rabbits by means of experimental shock of the pregnant doe. Typical changes of clotting parameters and morphological alterations in different organs specific for shock were used as criteria of the maternal shock. For the detection of asphyxia conditioned neonatal organ lesions, liver, lung, kidney and heart muscle were studied light microscopically. Special attention was devoted to liver alterations, i.e. changes of hepatocyte structure, glycogen content and microcirculation disturbances as well as to alterations of the hematopoietic system. The asphyxia related effects were vacuolic degeneration of hepatocytes, centroacinar hyperemia and persistence of hematopoietic cells in the neonatal liver. The alterations of the hepatocytes as well as of the hematopoietic system were more conspicuous in mature then in immature asphyxiated rabbits. On the contrary, the microcirculatory changes are similar in both animal groups.

[Hepatic infestation in mucoviscidosis (author's transl)]. / Zur hepatischen Manifestation der Mukoviszidose

In 25 cases of autoptically proven mucoviscidosis 3 cases were detected with hepatic infestation. In two cases there was a focal biliary fibrosis (one male baby of 3 months, one female baby of 8 months), the third case was a 7 1/2 years old boy with a multilobulary biliary cirrhosis. The morphologie picture of these lesions is described, and their frequency, etiology and pathogenesis are discussed. Secondary alterations of the liver are for more frequent in this disorder than real liver infestations of mucoviscidosis, possible implications of this fact are shortly mentioned, too.
