Über die Wirkung von Mischungen eines antigenhaltigen Plasmas mit einem antikörperhaltigen Serum auf die Entwicklung des Fremdkörpergranuloms

Summary It has been shown that local application of a mixture of precipitating antiserum with homologous plasma or serum promotes markedly the growth of granuloma tissue in the rat.     

Über die Auslösung der Fluchtreaktion bei Fliegen

Summary Contrary toGaffron, 1934, it has been shown that when flies flee from the catching hand, this reaction is merely due to optical stimuli (experiments with flies behind glass). Air movements play no part in this connection (experiments with blinded flies).     

Über die Wirkung von Elastase auf die Blutgerinnung

Summary Purified elastase prepared by adsorption on synthetic zeolite in proper concentrations causes the coagulation of blood. Elastase was found to have no direct coagulative action on purified fibrinogen. Its coagulating action is due to the fact that it reacts with prothrombin to form thrombin. The reaction between prothrombin and elastase is independent of the presence of either platelets, thromboplastin or Ca-ions.     

Die Wirkung von synthetischen Antihistaminkörpern auf die Senfölchemosis am Kaninchenauge

Summary Intravenous or subcutaneous administration of pyribenzamine and other antihistaminics is able to decrease, and to delay the appearance of chemosis produced by mustard oils in the eye of the rabbit. Simultaneously occurring vascular reactions, on the other hand, are but slightly affected by antihistaminics. Intravenous or subcutaneous administration of rutin has no clear-cut effect on chemosis; it is however able to inhibit the vascular reaction.     

Über die Wirkung von Cobalt-II-nitrat auf Kern und Cytoplasma vonAcetabularia mediterranea

Summary The effect of Cobalt-II-nitrate was tested on the marine green algaAcetabularia. Application of Co immediately stopped regeneration as well as synthesis of cytoplasmic proteins. Later on a decrease of the protein contents was observed. Without affecting the size of the nucleus, Co caused a reduction of the nucleolar size and shape within 4 days. By histochemical methods, Co was found to be stored in the nucleus and nucleolus. However, it is not clear whether the Co was already boundin vivo. Size and distribution of the polyphosphate bodies were not changed within 6 days. No storage of Coin vivo could be observed within the polyphosphates.

Über die Wirkung von Phenylbutazon auf den Tricarbonsäurezyklus und andere Fermentsysteme

Summary Cholinesterase, hyaluronidase, chondroïtinase and -glucuronidase are not inhibited by phenylbutazone in concentrations up to 10^–3 M.Phenylbutazone accelerates the oxidation of the acids of the Krebs cycle in therapeutic concentrations up to 10 mg%; in higher concentrations it acts as an inhibitor. The inhibition of the -keto acid oxidation begins at lower concentrations of phenylbutazone then for the other intermediates.     

Die katalytische Wirkung von Metallionen auf die Stabilität von Phosphagenen

Summary Phosphoroguanidates, a class of compounds which includes the enzymatically-active phosphagens, exhibit exceptionalin vitro stability. This lack of reactivity implies anin vivo mode of activation, as yet undiscerned. A variety of metal ions catalyse the cleavage of the phosphorus-nitrogen bond with consequent phosphoryl-group transfer, but the enhancement of rate seems insufficient to account for the known activities of phosphoro-creatine and phosphoro-arginine. It is suggested that yet another mode of activation, chemical or biochemical, awaits discovery.     

Über die Wirkung von Phenanthrenchinon (9, 10) und einer wasserlöslichen Transportform auf Glykolyse und Atmung des Ascites-Tumor

Summary Phenanthrenchinon (9, 10) and hydrochinon-bis-glycylester prepared as water-soluble transportform, are strong inhibitors of glycolysis. Glycolysing cells are depleted from ATP in a few minutes.     

Wirkung von Polysacchariden bakterieller Herkunft auf die experimentelle Lipämie

Summary Polysaccharide fractions derived from a gram-negative proteus organism show strong anti-lipaemic activity of the order of 1000 times that of heparin. Analogous preparations from gram-positive organisms and mycobacteria show no such activity and some polysaccharide fractions from plant and animal tissues proved to have slight activity. None of these polysaccharides influenced the clotting of plasmain vitro.     

Über die bakteriostatische Wirkung von Anthocyanen und verwandten Stoffen

Summary Some anthocyanins and flavonols have been found to have no bacteriostatic effect on pathogenic micro-organisms.     

Wirkung der Adrenalektomie und Desoxycorticosteronbehandlung auf die Ascorbinämie und Ascorbinurie der Katze

Summary Two cats were adrenalectomized and kept healthy with daily injections of desoxycorticosterone acetate. The ascorbic acid concentration of blood and urine remained the same as in normal controls. When Dexoxy-corticosterone was omitted, a crisis ensued but the blood and urine concentration of ascorbic acid did not decrease.     

Vergleichende Untersuchungen über die hypertensive Wirkung von Aldosteron und Desoxycorticosteron

Summary In the adrenalectomized and unilaterally nephrectomized rat an investigation has been carried out on the influence of a four weeks' treatment with aldosterone and desoxycorticosterone-acetate in doses which are equieffective concerning sodium retaining capacity. Desoxycorticosterone-acetate produced hypertension, perivascular granuloma and renal lesions, whereas under the influence of aldosterone the blood pressure remained normal and no histopathological alterations could be found. Towards the end of the experiment the animals treated with desoxycorticosterone-acetate took up twice as much drinking fluid as the animals treated with aldosterone. Although the results obtained so far are only of a preliminary character it is obvious that aldosterone in doses which are equieffective concerning sodium retention does not produce the same side effects as desoxycorticosterone-acetate.     

Über die Gestalt von Fadenmolekülen in Lösung

Summary Some arguments put forward byG. Bier in a recent article in order to supportH. Staudinger's assumption that chain molecules in solution should behave like straight rigid rods are examined. It is shown that the assumptions made byG. Bier are largely arbitrary. The main argument is the assumption that the C-C-bond in long chain molecules should not show any rotation. As far as this point is concerned, attention is drawn to some recent publications showing that the viscosity of shape of chain molecules can be determined by experiment (specific viscosity and double refraction of flow at high velocity gradients). According to these determinations the time necessary for a complete change of shape, using partially free rotation, is of the order of 10^–5–10^–3 seconds for molecules like nitrocellulose or polystyrene up to degrees of polymerization of several thousands and for viscosities of the solvent of the order of 10^–2 poises.

Wirkung eines tumorhemmenden Stoffes,des Triäthylenmelamins,auf das Wachstum von Fremdkörpergranulom und Tumor

Summary The action of Triethylenmelamine, an anti-tumour substance, was investigated on tumourgrowth and on development of the foreign body granuloma comparatively.It was found that this substance induces in both cases a similar dosis-dependent inhibition of growth.As the inhibiting action of Triethylenmelamine can even be demonstrated on rapidly growing normal tissues, it is questionable whether the antagonistic action against tumour can be designed as tumour-specific.     

Die Wirkung von D-Lysergsäure-diäthylamid (LSD 25) und 5-Oxytryptamin auf die Chromatophoren vonPoecilia reticulatus

Summary D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD 25) has a characteristic effect on the chromatophores of the female fish guppy (Poecilia reticulatus). This effect can be prevented by prophylactic administration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, enteramine).     

Vergleich der Wirkung des Aldosterons auf das Fremdkörpergranulom der Ratte mit derjenigen von Cortexon,Corticosteron, Cortison und Hydrocortison

Summary Aldosterone applied locally in doses of 50–100 enhances slightly the growth of granuloma and in doses of up to 200 fails to inhibit such growth. In the doses, then, its action differs from that of hydrocortisone, cortisone, and cortexone.     

Die Wirkung der Ultraviolettbehandlung auf die Überlebensverhältnisse röntgenbestrahlter Mäuse

Summary 300 r whole body X-ray irradiation of mice did not decrease the circulating platelet count, if this dose was preceeded by 24 h of ultraviolet-irradiation. More animals survived the X-ray (500, 550, 600 r) injury, if the irradiation occurred after ultraviolet treatment given 24 and 48 h before. The number of days survived is also increased. The ultraviolet light seems to have some protective effect against injury caused by X-ray.
