[Changes of the biohumoral picture in alcoholic hepatopathy treated with thiazolidinecarboxylate of arginine].

In 28 patients suffering from alcoholic well compensated hepatopathy, different laboratory parameters have been controlled before and after treatment with arginine thiazolidinecarboxylate, i.v. a the daily dose of 800 mg for 7-10 days. The compartmental analysis showed that the improvement in the BSF clearance is mainly due to a reduction in the "regurgitation fraction" and therefore to an improvement or restoration of the processes of conjugation, binding and transferring of the dye in the liver cells. A significant increase in platelets and an equally significant decrease in bilirubinemia, gamma GT, OCT, GOT and alkaline phosphatase were reported. Such variations might be at any rate due to the sole alcohol abstinence. The observed increase in transferrin, haptoglobin and albumin cannot be reported to the sole abstinence, but must be considered as consequence of the pharmacological influence, of arginine thiazolidinecarboxylate on the protidosynthetic activities of the liver.

[Pediatric digestive endoscopy: personal experience].

Fiberendoscopy has become a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure of the outmost importance also in pediatric gastroenterology. 100 gastrointestinal fiberoscopies have been carried out on 81 patients ranging in age from 1 month to 14 years during a three-year period (November 79 - October 82), using general anesthesia for 9 patients. The 70 upper GI endoscopies, almost always performed with the Olympus GIF P2 instrument, showed acute or chronic, limited or diffuse inflammatory changes in most cases; post-bulbar areas were successfully visualized in 46 patients. The 30 colonoscopies were carried out with the standard adult equipment in most part of cases; in 50% of cases the inspection was extended to the caecum. Inflammatory diseases have been frequently revealed, but more frequently no remarkable changes were found. Indications for "operative" endoscopy were dilatation of an esophageal achalasia and removal of four gastrointestinal bleeding polyps. All procedures gave satisfactory results, and no morbidity occurred to patients.

[Penetrating injuries of the abdomen. Results of two classical and selective attitudes in the management of 249 wounds].

The systematic surgical exploration of each abdominal penetrating wound allows an exact out-come of lesions and an adequate treatment without delay. But these advantages are made upon a possibly 30% negative laparotomy. The selective attitude in the management of these abdominal's wounds has permitted to decrease this rate to 5% with a risk of secondary operation for non primary detected lesions in 5%. Our attitude toward 249 penetrative abdominal's wounds was classic and selectable respectively from 86 to 89 and 90 to 93. The results has confirmed the literature's date and especially has shown no significant difference between the two attitude concerning the morbidity and the mortality.
