[Hemodynamic effects of nalbuphine in patients with acute respiratory insufficiency].

Examination of haemodynamic changes, after 20 mg nalbuphine had been administered IV to 11 ventilated patients with acute respiratory failure, showed that on average pulmonary arterial mean pressure increased by 8% of the initial value. This increase was reversed after the test dosage was doubled from 20 mg to 40 mg nalbuphine. Regression analysis of the correlation between changes in pulmonary arterial mean pressure and patient age resulted in an increase in mean pressure by 0.1 mmHg per year after 20 mg nalbuphine. These findings suggest that nalbuphine must be carefully monitored in elderly and pulmonary risk patients.

[How reliable is a hot-wire anemometer?].

To examine the advantage of hot-wire anemometer for clinical use, we have checked two types of this tools with respect to reliability and validity. It was found that electronic suppression of noise caused a distortion of the measurements. Furthermore changes of transducers were also responsible for deviations from true values. We require of the manufacturer to indicate the threshold of perception and the coefficient of variation for repeated measurements with several transducers. We recommend a simple rule which permits an estimation of the limits of reliable measurements for clinical use depending on the threshold of the equipment and on the parameters of ventilation.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis. I. Activity measurements of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in human serum.

In this communication, we propose a method for the determination in human serum of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase based on parallel measurements of enzyme activities in presence of 1-p-bromotetramisole oxalate and adenosine 5'-monophosphate. The employment of these specific inhibitors renders the discrimination between specific and non-specific activities feasible. A regression analysis identifies fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) as the origin of the specific and alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) as the source of the non-specific fructose 1,6-bisphosphate dephosphorylating activities. This procedure lends itself to the diagnosis using serum samples of 'piecemeal' necrosis in liver disease.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase in the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis. II. Classification of chronic hepatitis based on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and other laboratory data.

The histomorphology of typical liver cell necroses are here correlated with heterotope distributions of enzymes in liver parenchyma. A variety of findings indicate a congruence between gluconeogenetic areas of the liver and the typical pattern of 'piecemeal' necrosis. We therefore propose a diagnostic index based on fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activity and the data from the clinical laboratory. This index makes it possible to distinguish between chronic persistent and chronic aggressive hepatitis.

[A Draeger-universal ventilator with an extended capacity of ventilation].

We have compared an improved Draeger universal ventilator (UV 1) with the corresponding standard model. The improvement was carried out by Draegerwerk according to our directions. The improved equipment is able to provide an increased minute volume (about 50%) and increases, therefore, the respiratory reserve for problem patients.
