Hookwire localizer as an aid for ultrasonic detection of small liver nodules.

We applied a V-shaped localizer and evaluated its clinical usefulness in nine patients with small hepatic nodules less than 2 cm in diameter. A small hepatic nodule was punctured with a 21-gauge localization needle under ultrasonic guidance, and the V-shaped localizer was pushed into the nodule with a wire. The localizer could be observed as a strong echo line by ultrasonography and as a high-density bar by computed tomography (CT). By this method, it was possible to precisely localize the nodule. Intraoperative ultrasonography became less time-consuming, and resection of the nodules could be confirmed with low-kilovoltage radiography.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome associated with colon cancer: report of a case.

A 68-year-old man with the clinical features of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome developed cancer of the ascending colon. Although Cronkhite-Canada syndrome has always been considered a benign condition, it may be a premalignant disorder, as suggested by the clinical course of the patient whose case is described herein.

Diagnostic value of Lipiodol injection in focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver.

We encountered a case of small focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver. It was difficult to distinguish FNH from hepatocellular carcinoma by means of sonography, computed tomography (CT), and angiography. After the injection of Lipiodol, it accumulated densely on FNH, but was washed away after a short time, as observed on the follow-up CT. This progress was different from that in hepatocellular carcinoma.

[The prognosis of segmental type of primary sclerosing cholangitis--a prognostic study of the cases].

Our review of the cases of segmental primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in Japanese literature has found nineteen cases, of which our own case in 1976 has been in good health for fifteen years and three months after resection. The prognostic study was possible in sixteen cases. In twelve cases the lesions were resected. Ten of twelve are found in good health, the average length of survival being nine years and one month. There are two cases of death and the causes are unknown. The unresected cases (4 out of 16) are all dead. It is concluded that the prognosis of segmental PSC is good if the lesion is resected.

Hepatic subsegmentectomy with segmental hepatic vein sacrifice.

There is no clinical disorder in partial Budd-Chiari syndrome or in a major hepatic vein ligation in hepatic trauma. When considering these findings, it is significant to investigate hepatic subsegmentectomies in which a major hepatic vein is sacrificed. We performed such hepatic subsegmentectomies in nine cases of hepatocellular carcinoma. With the sacrifice of the right hepatic vein, S7, S8 resection was done in three patients, S7 resection in two patients, S8 resection in one patient, and S5 resection in one patient. With the sacrifice of the middle hepatic vein, S8 resection was done in two patients. These resections were successfully performed with no postoperative problem. Further, there were no significant differences in postoperative liver function tests of the patients from those of a control group of the commonly performed systematic segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy. By performing such resections, resection was made possible in three cases and curative resection was made feasible in six cases.

Electron microscope studies on the intracellular growth of PL-1 phage of Lactobacillus casei.

Ultrathin sections of the cells of Lactobacillus casei infected with or without PL-1 phages were observed by the rapid-freezing and substitution-fixation method. Phage-head-like particles were first observed in the nuclear region. The region was seen more widely dispersed in the cytoplasm than that observed by the conventional chemical fixation method. The features of cells just broken open by the infected phages were observed by the sedimentation method devised by us. The bursting occurred in more than one place in the cells with liberation of progeny phages.
