[Immunosuppressive treatment of chronic liver diseases in the clinical biochemical, immunological and histological evaluation of the liver].

The authors analysed the clinical states and the behaviour of clinical parameters in 36 patients with chronic liver diseases. The patients were treated with Encorton or Encorton associated with Imuran. The best clinical results as well as the tendency to normalisation were observed in the group of patients who were treated with Encorton and Imuran.

[Dynamics of the leukocyte migration inhibition test with HbS Ag during the acute phase of virus hepatitis b].

The authors analysed the dynamics of leukocytes migration inhibitory test and its prognostic aspects in 38 patient with viral hepatitis B. In the first group -- 19 patients with decreasing migration index in the first evaluation (mean value 0.44) it was observed the shorter time of the Hepatitis-BS-antigenemia with the normalisation of hepatic laboratory parameters in comparison to the second group -- 19 patients with normal migration index in the first examination (mean value 0.96). The authors discussed the prognostic meaning of leukocytes migration inhibitory test in the course of viral hepatitis type B.

[The behaviour of serotonin in blood, the activity of monoaminooxidase in serum and of 5-hydroxyindoloacetic acid in twenty-four hour urine in patients with viral hepatitis (author's transl)].

The level of serotonin in blood, the activity of MAO in serum and the value of 5-HIAA in 24 hour urine were estimated in 76 patients with viral hepatitis divided according to clinical parameters into three groups (mild, mild to severe and severe clinical course). A statistically significant increase of serotonin level in blood compared with the healthy control group was found. Highest values were observed in patients with the severe form of viral hepatitis. Decreased values of 5-HIAA in 24 hour urine in the early course of the disease showed a tendency to increase in later examinations. The activity of MAO in serum was significantly lowered in all clinical forms of viral hepatitis.

[Dynamics of immunologic reactivity in the acute phase of virus hepatitis B].

In 15 patients with acute icteric viral hepatitis B the immunological reactivity was tested. The examinations were performed on the 1st, 7th, and 14th day of hospitalization. They consisted of the determination of the HBsAg and its antibodies in the serum, of the percentage of the B- and T-lymphocytes, of the lymphocyte transformation test under the influence of phytohaemagglutinin, of the lymphocyte migration inhibitory test when the HBsAg is present as well as of the determination of the IgG, IgA and the IgM-level. A decreased percentage of the T-lymphocytes, a decreased blastic transformation and an inhibition of the lymphocyte migration was proved. After a transient increase in the first and second examination the IgG-level returned to the normal in the third examination, whereas the IgM-level increased. Finally dynamics and importance of the cellular reactivity in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis B are discussed.
