[Comparative studies on the mucolytic effectiveness of Mucosolvin oral and Mucosolvin inhalant].

Here the clinic comparison between both inhaling and oral Mucosolvin therapy is reported on. To determine the virtual viscosity of sputum has proved to be the deciding parameter to measure the effect of Mucosolvin. Both Mucosolvin inhalable and oral are equally effective. But whereas with oral therapy there were no side effects (e.g. bronchospasm) necessitating withdrawal of the drug such side effects occurred with inhaling therapy. Thus Mucosolvin allowes an effective mucolytic therapy independent of using any inhalation appliance.

Acetylcysteine

[Method for evaluating sputum viscosity].

Continuing a study on mucolytically and secretolytically effective drugs, a viscometrically energetic principle was designed for controlling both the virtual viscosity and the adhesion of sputum. The technique used is integral in character, an amount of 2 to 4 ml of inhomogeneous purulent and foam-free sputum being sufficient for the purpose. The data are shown in a curve the characteristic of which is a piecewise e-function giving separate descriptions of the virtual viscosity and the adhesive behaviour. The curves are used to record the progress of the therapy used. "Technique and device for measuring viscosity" was registered at the Amt für Erfindungs- und Patentwesen der DDR HA Rechtsschutz in 1984 (WP G 01 N/251 817 5) the authors being Scheuler, Fischer and Felgenhauer. Details are given in.

Expectorants

[Viscometric study of secretolytically and mucolytically active inhalants].

Hypercrinism, dyscrinism and mucostasis are the principal symptoms accompanying diseases of the respiratory system. Both the viscosity and the adhesion of the secretion are affected by secretolytics and mucolytics. Evidence on changes in the quality of the secretion was obtained following a nine-day inhalation therapy using mucosolvin, tacholiquin, bromhexin and physiological NaCl-solution, a new viscosimetric measuring device with non-Newton liquids being applied in the investigation. The device allows for a control of the secretolytic and mucolytic treatment used.

Aerosols

[Studies on the limitation of the body functional capacity by the pulmonary function in chronic bronchitic patients in the work process].

It is reported on first experiences (18 patients) with investigation of the breathing mechanism during ergometry for the quantification of the respiratory dyspnoea on exertion. The oesophagus-pressure-method is recommended as suitable method. The stopping of the load on account of dyspnoea in the number of patients which above all consisted of obstructive bronchitics was carried out at values for the total breathing capacity (Wtot) of 5 kpm/min and more.
