The transport of radioactive labelled sodium ions at the round window. Corroboration of the mechanism of "Arslan's operation" for morbus Menière

Radioactive-labelled sodium does not penetrate via the round window in the inner ear of guinea-pigs. The findings reported confirm the mechanism assumed by Arslan for his "osmotic induction" surgery in the treatment of morbus Menière.

[The protein- and nucleic acid biosynthese in isolated human tonsilar cells and his dependence of age (author's transl)]

The aim of our investigations was to discriminate unspecific age-depending function of the tonsil. In an in-vitro system of tonsillar lymphocytes we could show, that there are differences in the DNA-, RNA- and Proteinbiosynthese between children and adults. The children organ is more active. It could be shown that the observed differences are only age depending and not influenced by the clinical state of the organ.
