[Clinical quality measurement in anaesthesia from routine data. Examples of appendectomy and resection of the colon].

Background: There is no nationwide evaluation of the quality of anaesthesia in Germany. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform analyses using administrative routine data relating to this topic.

Methods: Nationwide hospital claims data of patients insured with the local healthcare insurance fund (AOK) in the year 2007 were analyzed.

Mycophenolic acid inhibits PMA-induced activation of the neutrophil respiratory burst.

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is commonly used in immunosuppressive regimens for solid organ transplantation. There is evidence that the hydrolyzed active agent mycophenolic acid (MPA) causes the endothelial depletion of intracellular guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) levels. This depletion may cause inactivation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase.
