Characteristic features of liver disease in Japanese alcoholics.

Histopathological analysis for 94 Japanese alcoholic patients revealed alcoholic hepatitis 11%, chronic hepatitis 14%, fatty liver 16%, alcoholic liver fibrosis 22% and liver cirrhosis 31%. Alcoholic hyaline was found in only 30% of the cases of alcoholic hepatitis. Alcoholic liver fibrosis (without any findings except fibrosis and steatosis) was distinct from other type of diseases. Chronic hepatitis in alcoholics was mostly chronic active hepatitis (77%), whereas only 35% was chronic active hepatitis in nonalcoholics. Histologically typical alcoholic liver cirrhosis was uncommon.

Two cases of portal-systemic shunts demonstrated by portal venography performed by operative cannulation of ileocolic vein.

Two cases of portal-systemic shunt were presented. A 70 year-old cirrhotic female, who was suffered from mental confusion, underwent portal venography which demonstrated a large varicose vein connecting the inferior mesenteric vein with the left renal vein. The mean portal pressure was 15 cm saline. There were no esophagogastric varices. A 47 year-old cirrhotic female, who was admitted for evaluation of liver dysfunction found incidentally, underwent portal venography which revealed a dilated coronary vein connecting to the left renal vein. The portal pressure was 23 cm saline. There was no evidence of esophageal varices. Portal venography was performed through the ileocolic vein in both cases. In general, bleeding varices may develop most commonly in coronary-azygous system and less frequently in the territory of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins. On the contrary, retroperitoneal portal-systemic shunts is likely to cause hepatic encephalopathy rather than to develop bleeding varices. Thus, it is necessary to perform abdominal angiography in patients with hematochezia of unknown etiology or recurrent episodes of hepatic encephalopathy.

A clinical study on gallstones in Bolivia.

To clarify the prevalence of gallstone disease in Bolivia, all the X-ray films of the biliary system in a total of 656 cases taken during 10 months in La Paz were checked. Gallstones were found in 103 cases (15.7%). The ratio of male to female was 1:1.9. Cholecystolithiasis comprised 76.7% of them, while choledocholithiasis was rare. The analysis of gallstones removed surgically by an infrared absorption spectroscopy revealed that cholesterol was main constituent of stones in 62 cases (93.9%) out of 66 cases.
