[Determination of antibodies to Campylobacter pylori in children and adolescents with gastroduodenal disorders].

Serological examination of antibodies against Campylobacter pylori was made in 195 boys and girls aged 9-20 years. In all on account of gastrointestinal complaints endoscopy was indicated. The results of microbiological and histological finding), in particular in the antrum and corpus of the stomach).

[Can epigastric pain and non-ulcerative dyspepsia in children and adolescents be Campylobacter pylori infection?].

The authors examined 263 children and adolescents aged 5-20 years who suffered from so-called non-ulcerative dyspepsia or epigastric pain, because of the suspected presence of Campylobacter pylori. In 31.9% of the examined subjects direct microbiological methods revealed its presence in the gastroduodenal mucosa.

[Non-imported conjunctivitis with detection of Chlamydia trachomatis].

The authors describe conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. The diagnosis was established by isolation on tissue cultures with a typical finding of intracytoplasmatic inclusions. Serum antibodies were slightly elevated, the complement binding reaction was 1:16, ELISA 1:64.

[The importance of the microprecipitation reaction in agar in the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis].

The authors examined 56 pigs by an isolation experiment for Toxoplasma gondii and simultaneously by the Sabin-Feldman reaction, microprecipitation reaction in agar (MPA), quantitative microprecipitation reaction in agar (MPAK), reaction with complement-fixing and indirect haemagglutination reaction with toxoplasma antigen. In nine pigs with positive isolation finding, the Sabin-Feldman reaction and quantitative microprecipitation reaction in agar was positive in eight cases. In cases of negative Sabin-Feldman reaction, the quantitative microprecipitation reaction was always negative.

Functional residual lung capacity in rats affected by a carotid body stimulant.

The respiratory response and changes of functional residual lung capacity were measured in the rat after intravenous administration of the drug S 2620 in a dose of 0.4 mg/kg. This substance induced a significant decrease of arterial PCO2 and an increase of minute ventilation.
