    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Seit September 1975 haben wir 156 Patientinnen mit metastasierenden Mammakarzinomen in eine prospektive multizentrische Studie aufgenommen. Alle Patientinnen erhielten 6 Zyklen Vincristin, Adriamycin und Cyclophosphamid (VAC) und anschließend weiterhin monatlich einmal 5-Fluorouracil, Methotrexat und Cyclophosphamid (FMC), bis eine Tumorprogression dokumentiert wurde. Auf Grund randomisierter Zuweisung erhielt etwa die Hälfte der Patientinnen zusätzlich subkutan Injektionen von Corynebacterium parvum jeweils am Tag 1 eines Chemotherapiezyklus (VAC/FMC). Bei den 150 auswertbaren Patientinnen fanden sich 33 von 76 (45%) bzw. 36 von 74 (49%) komplette oder partielle Remissionen unter Chemotherapie ohne bzw. mit Zusatz von Corynebacterium parvum. Die Kaplan-Maier-Kurven für die Dauer der Remissionen und des Überlebens waren bei beiden Kollektiven fast identisch (mediane Remissionsdauer 14,5 bzw. 12,1 Monate und mediane Überlebenszeit 22,2 bzw. 21,1 Monate). Die hämatologischen und gastrointestinalen Nebenwirkungen waren bei beiden Gruppen ebenfalls ähnlich. Auffällig war jedoch, daß 19 von 74 (26%) Patientinnen als Folge der wiederholten subkutanen Injektionen von Corynebacterium parvum Hautulcera entwickelten. Diese Patientinnen zeigten die längste Überlebenszeit (p=0.002, log rank test). Diese Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, daß eine unspezifische Immunstimulation mit Corynebacterium parvum am Tag 1 der heute üblichen Polychemotherapie den meisten Patientinnen mit metastasierenden Mammakarzinomen nichts nützt, sondern eine „immunreaktive“ Untergruppe mit gesteigerter lokaler Toxizität und Überlebenszeit selektioniert.
    Notes: Summary A total of 156 patients with metastatic breast cancer were entered into a prospective multicenter trial in September 1975. All patients were treated monthly with vincristine, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (VAC) six times, followed by 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate and cyclophosphamide (FMC) until progression was documented. By random assignment, the patients received 5 mg/m2 Corynebacterium parvum (CP) subcutaneously on day 1, in addition to VAC/FMC. Of the 150 evaluable patients, 33 of 76 (45%) and 36 of 74 (49%) had complete or partial response to VAC/FMC plus CP, respectively. The Kaplan-Maier curves of duration of remission and survival were almost identical (medians 14.5 vs 12.1 months and 22.2 vs 21.1 months, respectively). The hematologic and gastrointestinal toxicity were also similar in the two study groups. However, 19 of 74 (26%) patients developed skin ulcers after repeated injections of CP. These patients showed prolonged survival (P=0.002, log rank test). These results suggest that adding nonspecific immunostimulation with CP to currently available chemotherapy on day 1 is of no benefit to most patients with metastatic breast cancer, but may select an ‘immunoreactive’ subgroup with increased local toxicity and survival.

    Notes: Summary From January 1978 to December 1980, 222 patients with metastatic breast cancer were included into a prospective multicenter trial. All patients were treated once a month with six cycles of VAC- (vincristine, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy, followed by FMC (5-fluor-ouracil, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide) until progression was documented. By random assignment, the patients received immunostimulation with Corynebacterium parvum (CP) by one of four methods: subcutaneous (SC) on either day 1 or day 14, intravenous (IV) on either day 1 or day 14. The 214 evaluable patients were equally distributed to the four arms. The rates of complete or partial response to VAC/FMC plus CP did not differ significantly between the treatment groups. Of our patients, 22–33% were definite treatment failures. The Kaplan-Meier curves of duration of remission (medians 14 vs. 9 vs. 13 vs. 11 months) did not differ significantly. Only small differences in survival were noted among the four study groups (medians 15.4 vs. 17.5 vs. 17.2 vs. 13.0 months). However, complete and partial responders lived significantly longer (Log rank testP=0.008), when CP was given on day 14 by the SC rather than IV route (29+ vs. 14.3 months). Patients in the four study groups were treated with virtually identical doses of VAC/FMC chemotherapy. Patients receiving CP intravenously on day 14 experienced significantly lower mean leukocyte counts than patients in the other groups. Many patients suffered from high temperature (requiring treatment with antipyretics) and severe gastrointestinal toxicity, particularly when CP was given IV on day 1 together with the chemotherapy. Sixteen patients developed skin ulcers following repeated SC injections of CP. They showed a 4-month longer median survival than patients without these local reactions. Taken together, the results suggest that adding CP in the ways tested to monthly VAC/FMC chemotherapy is of no benefit to patients with metastatic breast cancer.

    Notes: Zusammenfassung I. Für die Begleitkeime der Pockendermovaccine gibt es 2 Einwanderungswege: Von außen als Verunreinigung und von innen als Dispersion aus Infektionsherden bzw. aus dem Darmkanal des Impftieres in den durch die Inokulation geschaffenen locus minoris resistentiae der Haut. II. Eine mindestens zehntägige Beobachtungszeit und eine bakteriologische Kotuntersuchung der Impftiere werden neben den vorgeschriebenen Untersuchungen im Kontumazstall für notwendig gehalten. III. Es wird ein neues Verfahren beschrieben, das eine Verunreinigung der Vaccine von außen verhindert. IV. Die nach den aufgezeigten Gesichtspunkten gewonnenen Lymphen kommen dem Ziele der Lymphebereitungsanstalten, primär bakterienfreie Dermovaccine herzustellen, ziemlich nahe.

    Notes: Abstract We report a 29-year-old primigravid who developed cardiac failure following postpartum haemorrhage unresponsive to volume resuscitation and therapy with catecholamines and phosphodiesterase-inhibitors. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated left atrial and ventricular dilatation and global left ventricular hypokinesis. No elevation of serum MB-isoenzyme fraction was detected and other organ functions remained stable. Although emergency cardiac transplantation was considered in the presented patient, the institution of intra-aortic counterpulsation was decided on as a first treatment option. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation rapidly improved cardiac function and led to weaning from pharmacological cardiac support within a few days. Mechanical circulatory assist devices can be life-saving in postpartum-haemorrhage-associated cardiac failure.

    Notes: Abstract The cascade of known haematopoietic growth factors controlling granulomonopoiesis and erythropoiesis includes interleukin-3 (IL-3), interleukin-6 (IL-6), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and erythropoietin (EPO). Elevated endogenous IL-3 and IL-6 cord blood levels in infection-free premature and mature neonates may reflect their possible role for expansion of haematopoietic progenitor cells, granulocytes and monocytes. Within the erythroid lineage a synergistic action of IL-3, IL-6 and EPO can be assumed. To identify the regulatory role in fetal haematopoietic expansion cord blood plasma levels of these haematopoietic growth factors were assessed in 19 premature and 20 mature infants using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and enzyme-amplified sensitivity immuno assay test kits. Peripheral blood IL-3, GM-CSF and EPO were studied in 5 and 10 premature infants respectively. Compared with cord blood levels we found a decline in EPO levels but no decrease of IL-3 and GM-CSF during the 1st month of life. We conclude that postnatal decrease in plasma burst-promoting activity levels in preterm infants is mainly explained by low postnatal EPO levels.
