[Maximum exercise testing during hypobaria and normoxia (author's transl)].

The effects of high altitude (3000 m, low-pressure chamber) on maximum exercise and maximum oxygen uptake were studied in four normal subjects. In order to separate the effects of hypobaria and of hypoxia, exercise testing was performed under normoxic, hypobaric conditions and compared with the results under normoxic, normobaric conditions. There was no significant difference in performance, nor in the effects of exercise on the measured cardiovascular parameters.

[Results of two double-blind studies on the effect of silymarine in chronic hepatitis (author's transl)].

In two double-blind studies with 24 and 12 patients, respectively, the effect of silymarine on chronic hepatitis was studied. The treatment lasted three months to one year. In the laboratory tests investigated no remarkable difference between silymarine and placebo therapy was seen. Some histological changes, however, were improved under silymarine, one of them significantly. A control of these findings will be necessary. The question arises if silymarine occupies receptors on the liver cell membrane and therefore causes a partial blocking of immunologic reactions. The difficulties of prospective studies in chronic liver disease are emphasized.
