[Inhibition of stimulated gastric secretion with simultaneous administration of cimetidine and somatostatin].

In four gastric fistula dogs we studied the effect of cimetidine (5 mg/kg/h) and somatostatin (10 microgram/kg/h), alone or in combination, on gastric secretion stimulated by histamine (160 microgram/kg/h) or pentagastrin (6 microgram/kg/h). Acid and pepsin output after histamine stimulation was more reduced by cimetidine than after pentagastrin stimulation. Somatostatin showed an inhibitory effect only after pentagastrin stimulation. The most effective reduction, both on the degree of inhibition and on duration after cessation of the inhibitors, was seen after the combination of cimetidine/somatostatin. These results give some clinical aspects for the use of these two agents.

[Non-resecting surgery for gastroduodenal ulcer. III. Clinical results (author's transl)].

During the last 12 years, 1489 vagotomies were performed at the Chirurgische Poliklinik of Munich University; 1339 of them were selective proximal vagotomies (SPV). The main indication was duodenal ulcer (n = 915) and gastric ulcer (n = 188), including emergency operations for extensive bleeding. Further indications were: sliding hiatal hernia, erosive gastritis and achalasia of the cardia. The SPA was combined in all cases with a pyloroplasty based on form and function. The results are shown in detail related to mortality (elective 0.5%), recurrency (1.6%) and functional results (good 88.2%, fair 7.2%, poor 4.6%). The combined operation of SPV with pyloroplasty is, in our opinion, an operative procedure which allows non resectioning surgical treatment of GDU without selection, i.e. based on form and function.
