[Bile acids in chronic hepatopathies].

The clinical value of measuring biliary acids in various chronic liver disease was investigated. The sample examined included 17 healthy subjects, 16 patients with active chronic hepatitis, 15 with cirrhosis of the liver and 14 with cholestatic cirrhosis. The following parameters were considered in each patient: blood bilirubin, gamma GT, alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase, blood cholesterol, Quick time. The total pool of biliary acids was assayed by the enzymatic method on samples taken in the morning before breakfast and two hours after intake of 600 mg ursodeoxycholic acid. Total biliary increased with the progression of the pathological condition. Unlike all other indicators biliary acid assays after oral loading with ursodeoxycholic acid makes it possible to distinguish between subjects with active chronic hepatitis and those with cirrhosis of the liver.

Effect of fundal pressure on maternal to fetal microtransfusion at the time of cesarean delivery.

AIM: To determine if fundal pressure at the time of cesarean delivery increases the amount of transplacental microtransfusion from mother to infant. METHODS: Pregnant women undergoing cesarean delivery were randomized to the standard uterine fundal pressure at the time of hysterotomy versus no fundal pressure. Babies of patients randomized to no fundal pressure were delivered with either vacuum or forceps. The proportion of placental alkaline phosphatase between maternal and cord blood was then determined and compared between the groups. RESULTS: Eighty-four women were randomized into two groups (44 in the pressure and 40 in the no pressure groups). There was no difference between the groups in demographic variables, or indications for cesarean. There was no difference in percentage of umbilical cord blood placental alkaline phosphatase between the pressure and no pressure groups (0.06 +/- 0.2 vs 10 +/- 0.29 IU, P = 0.43). CONCLUSIONS: Fundal pressure at the time of cesarean delivery does not increase the amount of transplacental microtransfusion, suggesting that modifying the method of cesarean would not decrease the chances of vertical transmission in HIV positive pregnant women.
