RESUMEN
The future development of all German pension systems will be determined by decisive challenges. The demographic development, the increasing number and length of interruptions of the employment period and the change in the distribution of functions in partnerships are just three aspects. The statutory pension insurance organizes the relationship between the generations as well as the balancing within one generation. The structure of statutory pension insurance must guarantee a fair equalization of burdens in both regards. The following article describes the challenges and the contribution of statutory pension insurance to stable social relationships.

A powerful method of processing MEDLINE and CINAHL source data uploaded to the IBM 3090 mainframe computer through an IBM/PC is described. Data are first downloaded from the CD-ROM's PC devices to floppy disks. These disks then are uploaded to the mainframe computer through an IBM/PC equipped with WordPerfect text editor and computer network connection (SONNGATE). Before downloading, keywords specifying the information to be accessed are typed at the FIND prompt of the CD-ROM station. The resulting abstracts are downloaded into a file called DOWNLOAD.DOC. The floppy disks containing the information are simply carried to an IBM/PC which has a terminal emulation (TELNET) connection to the university-wide computer network (SONNET) at the Ohio State University Academic Computing Services (OSU ACS). The WordPerfect (5.1) processes and saves the text into DOS format. Using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP, 130,000 bytes/s) of SONNET, the entire text containing the information obtained through the MEDLINE and CINAHL search is transferred to the remote mainframe computer for further processing. At this point, abstracts in the specified area are ready for immediate access and multiple retrieval by any PC having network switch or dial-in connection after the USER ID, PASSWORD and ACCOUNT NUMBER are specified by the user. The system provides the user an on-line, very powerful and quick method of searching for words specifying: diseases, agents, experimental methods, animals, authors, and journals in the research area downloaded. The user can also copy the TItles, AUthors and SOurce with optional parts of abstracts into papers under edition. This arrangement serves the special demands of a research laboratory by handling MEDLINE and CINAHL source data resulting after a search is performed with keywords specified for ongoing projects. Since the Ohio State University has a centrally founded mainframe system, the data upload, storage and mainframe operations are free.

In 16 babies aged one month to 11 months, lung mechanics were studied before and after subcutaneous injection of a bronchodilator; in addition, total serum IgE and various Virus-Complement-Binding Reactions (CBR) were determined. All the babies showed the clinical signs of bronchial obstruction, but the total lung resistance and the dynamic lung compliance were not significantly altered after the injection. No relationship existed between the height of the serum IgE-value and the results of the Virus-CBR. It could not be confirmed that babies with wheezy bronchitis and a raised IgE-value reacted any better to the bronchodilator than babies with bronchial obstruction and a normal IgE-value.
