[Reactive dynamics of immunologic parameters in healthy humans and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].

Investigations of three immune components (IgG, CRP, alpha 1 sGP) in 500 patients with rheumatoid arthritis at the beginning and the end of a spa treatment lasting 4 or 6 weeks as well as in 29 healthy test persons in monthly intervals over 2 years make clear that these immune components represent biorhythmologically regulated functions which underly a different dynamics related to the initial value. By means of the so-called "cross-over-point method" the adequate conditions can be figured. In these cases under the influence of the spa therapy a significant decrease of the dispersion at the end of the significant decrease of the dispersion at the end of the cure develops for the parameters CRP and IgG. These findings as well as the typicality of the course of the empiric regression between the beginning of the cure and the end of the cure represent criteria which are of importance for the demarcation of the dependence of the initial value to a statistical a: (a-b) effect. It is shown that the pathologically reactive dynamics of the immune components can be demarcated from the biorhythmically undisturbed dynamics.

[Quantitative determination of CO2-resorption from thermo-indifferent carbon dioxide mineral-water baths through human skin].

By means of mass spectrometric precision analysis of the natural variation of the 12C/13 relation in carbon dioxide of different provenience we contrive to pursue quantitatively the penetration of CO2 from the water of natural containing carbonic acid mineral baths (mineral springs Bad Elster) into the human body (skin--blood--expiratory air). First experiments confirm that in a bath of 21 or 20 minutes duration must be reckoned with a quantity of approximately equal to 24 ml . min-1 . m-2 of resorbed carbon dioxide and that the size of the basic metabolic rate of the bathing patient as well as the CO2 concentration of the bath water have an influence on the resorption process as well as on the measurement. On the other hand, the unspecific effect of the bath activating metabolism itself does not lead to a simulation of increased resorption rates. The borderline value for the penetration of CO2 through the skin seems to be 1.0 g . 1-1, i.e. within the region of the alkali reserve of the blood. The examinations are carried on.

[Changes in the diastole time of the human heart as influenced by 4-6 weeks of physical training in ischemic heart disease].

On the basis of former investigations, the present study deals with the effects of a 4 to 6-week training, within the framework of a health resort treatment, on the following cardialogic parameters of persons suffering from ischaemic heart disease after myocardial infarction: heart rate, duration of systoles and diastoles (and, following from this, the variance of these quantities, the diastole/systole quotient, and the "diastolic volume per unit of time", i.e., the relative diastolic share per min). Since there is a very close correlation between the heart rate and the diastole, consideration is given to frequency-independent variabilities of these quantities. It can be shown that there is a frequency-dependent behaviour under load as compared to rest, when training, and in two different age groups. The diastole/systole relation and the diastolic volume per unit of time can give additional information concerning training results. But it is not yet possible, for the time being, to show all marginal and limiting conditions required for generalizing these conclusions. From the clinical point of view, the 104 patients included in the study can be considered as a relatively homogeneous group.
