[A new bile contrast in pediatrics (author's transl)].

Biligram was used for 42 cholegraphies in children aged 2 months to 15 years. A 35% concentration of Biligram was given as intravenous injection in 14 children, a 17% or 3,4% concentration as an intravenous infusion in 16 or 12 patients, respectively. The quality of x-ray films with both Biligram 35% and 17% was equally good whereas Biligram 3,4% gave a weak contrast only. The best time for taking films was 30 and 60 min after injection of Biligram. Allergic reactions or an effect on liver enzymes were not observed.

Sclerosis of the intestinal tract with severe malabsorption.

The clinical findings and pathological changes in a 14 year old boy who died from severe malabsorption are presented. Early signs of the illness were attacks of abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and intermittent periods of constipation. Later, severe malabsorption together with chronic ileus were apparent but no organic obstruction was found at several laparotomies. X-ray examination revealed extremly distended intestinal loops and a very slow transit time of barium. Malnutrition could not be improved by dietary, medical, or surgical therapy. Microscopic examination of the tissues obtained at autopsy showed changes in the small vessels of the lungs, heart, kidneys, and intestine. Increased fibrous tissue combined with atrophy of the muscular coat was observed in the wall of the entire intestine. Although cutaneous changes of scleroderma were not evident the deposition of collagenous material and the vascular changes seem typical of systemic sclerosis.

[Intravenous cholangio-cystography during childhood (author's transl)].

Twenty-five intravenous cholangio-cystograms were carried out in children aged 2 to 15 years (10 by injection, 15 by infusion). Total bilirubin, GOT, GPT, GLDH and alkaline phosphatase were determined before and after injection of the contrast medium. The contrast media used were "Biligram for infusion" (17%) and "biligram for injection" (35%). Contrast dose per kilo body weight depends on the age of the patient: a) For infusion: infants 1.6 ml/kg/KG, small children 1.2 ml/kgKG, older children 0.8 ml/kg/KG. b) for injection: infants 0.8 ml/kg/KG, small children 0.6 ml/kg/KG, older children 0.4 ml/kg/KG. Both methods, in the above doses, provided good demonstration of the biliary tree and gall bladder. Films were taken at 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minutes after the end of the injection, and 40 minutes after a fatty meal. No allergic reactions were observed, nor any effect on the liver enzymes.
