摘要:

Data of 97 patients with acute hepatitis including 37 patients with endogenous hepatic coma are analysed as to their value for early diagnosis of severe hepatitis with impending hepatic coma. In contrast to serum values of transaminases, bilirubin, lactic acid, ammonia and albumin, the Quick value and a II, V, VH-index (sum of clotting factors II, V, and VII) proved a reliable and quantitative parameter of hepatocellular damage when compared with liver biopsy and state of consciousness. Thus II, V, VH-index permits one to judge hepatocellular damage without liver biopsy and to predict impending endogenous hepatic coma. Furthermore signs of secondary aldosteronism were present in 74% of comatose patients and hypoglycemia was observed in 3 patients with endogenous hepatic coma.

摘要:

Among 1067 gastroenterologic out-patients examined in the years 1966–1968, Entamoeba histloytica (EH) and Dientamoeba fragilis (DF) alone or in combination, were found in 362. Of the 309 patients harbouring EH (alone or with DF), 163 or 53% presented the clinical syndrome of chronic recurrent intestinal amoebiasis. DF alone may be the cause of intestinal irritation necessitating anti-amoebic treatment. The two amoebas were found much more in stool specimens following a purgative than in spontaneous stool, and even better results were obtained from material taken at rectoscopy. The cultural method increases considerably the chances of detecting amoeba but the concurrent use of microscopic and culture techniques yield the best results. There has been practically no change in the incidences of chronic amoebiasis in the sampled population over the last 10 year

摘要:

Gastroenteric clearance of albumin was measured to explore the role of an extrahepatic factor related to the development of hypoalbuminemia in liver cirrhosis. Loss of albumin into the gastrointestinal tract was not significantly increased in liver cirrhosis when compaired with the controls. However, loss of serum into the stool and the fractions of the total albumin catabolism represented by the losses into the stool were significantly increased in liver cirrhosis. Significant correlations between portal pressure and albumin excretion into the stool and between serum albumin levels and serum loss into the stool or gastroenteric degradation ratio were observed. These results suggested that, in considering the total catabolic rate, albumin loss into the stool was relatively increased in liver cirrhosis as a consequence of the impairment of the control mechanism of albumin degradation in the gastrointestinal tract.

摘要:

Islets of fully developed gastric mucosa i.e. containing parietal cells and sometimes pepsinogen cells were found in the duodenal cuff in 52 outof 158 gastric resection specimens. The gastric mucosa was seen significantly more often in the duodenum when the gastric resection was performed for duodenal ulceration. It is thought that the high acidity associatedwith the duodenal ulceration might be the cause forthe development of the heterotopic gastric mucosa.

摘要:

Total carbon and nitrogen content as well as eighteen amino were studied of the ageing small intestine. It was observed that there is no perceptible changes of the carbon and nitrogen content reduced on fat-free dry weight but slight reduction of certain amino acids proved to be apparent

摘要:

A patient suffering from Cushing’s Syndrome and polyps of the colon is reported. The possible association between these two diseases is discussed. Special reference is given to the importance of ruling out the presence of a ‘non-endocrine’ tumor as a cause of the Cushing’s S
