[Hemobilia after liver biopsy (author's transl)].

Colicky pain in the gallbladder region, hematemesis, melena and jaundice are symptoms of hemobilia. The underlying cause can be an arterio-biliary or a porto-biliary fistula, resulting in hemorrhage into the duodenum. Shunting may be intra- or extrahepatic and may originate from trauma, or from biliary, pancreatic or vascular lesions. Since 1976 liver biopsies were done in 2221 patients; in 3 of these hemobilia occurred. In one case the artery involved could be obturated by transarterial placement of Ivalon particles; the two other cases recovered without special treatment. A review is given of 23 cases of hemobilia after liver biopsy, and treatment is discussed.

[New findings in the epidemiology of viral hepatitis].

At present there is not yet a causal therapy of hepatitis. The modern state of knowledge on the mode of transfer, on the persistence of the causative organisms and the immunological reactions evoked by the causative organisms gives the possibility for new ways in prevention. The HBs Ag-carriers are a reservoir of causative organisms in the sense of chronic carriers. In a particular degree they endanger the personnel of public health. A supplementation of the general hygienic preventive measures by the immunoprophylaxis is desirable.

[Significance of isoenzymes for the prognostic evaluation of acute hepatitis--studies under load].

100 patients who got over a virus hepatitis underwent a bicycle ergometry. At the beginning and at the end of the experiment as well as 24 hours after this the isoenzymes of aldolase, GOT and LDH in the plasma were determined by means of kinetic methods. On the basis of the activities of the isoenzymes for the test persons (children and adults of either sex) an arrangement in the groups pathologic--suspicious--normal can be carried out which is compared with the physiologic parameters and the clinic. The results of bicycle ergometry much differ. High effects without pathological changes of the activities of isoenzymes are an objective criterion of the quick, riskless rehabilitation of the test persons.
