[Sequential hepato-biliary scintigraphy and percutaneous cholangiography in the diagnosis of benign diseases of the biliary tract Indications and limits].

Attention is drawn to the results of a study of 45 patients with bile duct calculosis designed to assess the soundness and the limits of two diagnostic examinations (HIDA and PTC) in determining the morphological and functional characteristics of the hepatoenteric tract. The results indicated that HIDA is a useful first step in average to serious cases of icterus as a means of evaluating the functional state of liver cells and the bile ducts by determination of activity-time curves for preselected areas, whereas PTC is more important in cases of serious icterus, since it also enables the patient to be suitably prepared for surgery.

[Hyperthyroidism as a rare cause of "false acute abdomen"].

4 patients affected by hyperthyroidism presenting a feature of "false acute abdomen" as main clinical sign are presented. The low incidence of that association, according to the literature, and the difficulties of a correct diagnosis, which could lead to a useless laparotomy is pointed out. The conclusion is drawn that tests of thyroid functions should be done whenever the feature of acute abdomen presents without any past history of gastro-enteric lesions.

Mucopoietic activity of zolimidine: is its effect through cellular turnover or by modification of the gastric mucosal blood flow?

Zolimidine 2-(methylsulphonyl-phenyl)-imidazo-(1,2-a)pyridine produces a high percentage of healing of gastro-duodenal ulcers. The action of the drug develops through an increase of protective factors on the gastric mucosal barrier. This study has the purpose of evaluating if the action of the drug is also mediated by microvascular factors. The analysis of the values of BAO, MAO and PAO confirmed that treatment with zolimidine does not modify gastric acid secretion; the values of the Neutral Red clearance at PAO, before and after the treatment, do not show a statistically significant variation of the gastric mucosal blood flow. According to the most recent literature, the increase of the gastric mucopoietic activity is carried out by a direct cellular action.

[Compression of the celiac tripod by the arcuate ligament of the diaphragm].

A case of external compression of the coeliac trunk on the part of the lateral arcuate ligament is reported. A brief account of the questions still posed by Dunbar's syndrome is followed by the assertion that dynamic, not static, aortography must be performed since it is in itself sufficient to clinch the diagnosis. It is suggested that pain is not an expression of reduced arterial flow, but of compression of the coeliac plexus, with the results that surgical management must associate adventitiectomy with section of the arcuate ligament. This will ensure displacement of the plexus, and prevent possible postoperative periarterial fibrosis from causing the reappearance of pain by involving the nerve fibres.

[Primary leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery].

A case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the mesentery is described. Only seven other cases have been reported in the literature, which means that this was an accidental finding. The histological features of the case are illustrated. It is suggested that this tumour originates in the muscle cells of the mesenteric vessels. The view that surgical management is incapable of improving the fatal prognosis is expressed.
