    Notizen: Abstract. In newborn infants, group B streptococci (GBS) often cause pneumonia, with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) migrating into the lungs. Because surfactant therapy may be needed in such patients, we evaluated the interaction between GBS or GBS-stimulated PMN and a surfactant preparation (Curosurf) in vitro. The superoxide production of GBS strains or GBS-activated PMN was measured, using the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test and the subsequent lipid peroxidation (LPO) as the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxyalkenals (4-HNE). The growth of GBS in surfactant was determined and related to the LPO. Finally, the effect of LPO on surfactant activity, caused by GBS-stimulated PMN, was assessed by measuring dynamic surface tension in a pulsating bubble surfactometer. Curosurf diminished the NBT reduction by both live GBS and GBS-stimulated PMN. Surfactant was peroxidized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) from both GBS and GBS-stimulated PMN in a time-dependent manner. Vitamin E significantly reduced the peroxidation level of surfactant in both cases. Surfactant peroxidation was associated with a reduction in the number of live bacteria. The biophysical activity of Curosurf was impaired by GBS-stimulated PMN, as reflected by increased minimum surface tension during cyclic compression. These findings indicate that Curosurf undergoes LPO by ROS produced by GBS and/or PMN. We speculate that exogenous surfactant preparations should be supplemented with vitamin E or another antioxidant, when given to infants with GBS pneumonia.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Zusammenfassung An der II. Chirurgischen Abteilung des AK Harburg wurden in 5 Jahren (1981–1985) 263 Patienten mit einem infrarenalen Bauchaortenaneurysma operiert. Im vorliegenden Film werden die Diagnostik beim Bauchaortenaneurysma, die Untersuchungstechnik und -taktik beim Hausarzt und in der Klinik vorgestellt sowie die Operation zweier Aneurysmen gezeigt. Postoperative Probleme, Risikofaktoren und Kontraindikationen zur Operation werden diskutiert.
    Notizen: Summary At the 2nd Surgical Department of the Harburg General Hospital in Hamburg, Germany, 263 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms were operated on during a 5-year period from 1981 to 1985. The film demonstrates diagnostic procedures and evaluation techniques, as employed by the family physician and the clinician. Moreover, operations for two abdominal aneurysms are shown. Postoperative problems, risk factors, and contraindications against operative procedures are discussed.
