[Experimental transplantation of the capsula fibrosa of patients with hepatic echinococcosis to white mice. Analysis of relapses after various surgical procedures]. / Experimentelle Transplantation der Kapsula fibrosa von Patienten mit Leberechinokokkose auf weisse Mäuse--Auswertung von Rezidiven nach den verschiedenen Operationsverfahren.

Systematic histological investigations concerning the existence of protoscolices in the fibrotic capsula and in the liver parenchyma of operated patients were carried out by means of the immuno-fluorescence. A protoscolex in the fibrotic capsula was detectable histologically only once. The theory of Napalkov about the relapses of the disease by protoscolices invaded in the fibrotic capsula and surrounded tissue cannot be corroborated after the transplantation of fibrotic capsula in white mice before and after sterilisation by Scolicid and the other investigations. A method for sterilisation of the fibrotic cavity and the fibrotic capsula is presented. In that way difficult traumatising operations with high lethality like pericystectomy and resection of the liver are avoidable.

[Clinical experiment studies in the treatment of echinococcosis with mebendazole (Vermox)]. / Klinisch-experimentelle Untersuchungen bei der Behandlung der Echinokokkose mit Mebendazol (Vermox).

3 patients with echinococcosis were treated with Mebendazol conservatively. One patient got a drug allergy. The other two were operated after a conservative therapy during 3 years in one case and in the course of 110 days in the other case. Dead as well as vital echinococcus cysts and protobrood-cysts were found intraoperatively. The intraabdominal transmission of protobrood-cysts to white infantile mice led to a secondary echinococcosis. The surgical therapy appeared more efficacious in contrast to the conservative treatment. A combination of surgical therapy and conservative treatment is to be recommended in severe disseminated forms of the echinococcosis.
