[Diagnostic system for assessment of left ventricular function with 99mTc-albumin (author's transl)].

Diagnostic system is described that obtains a set of serial gated images (SGI) covering the entire cardiac cycles and left ventricular (LV) volume curve (VC) with high temporal resolution (10 msec). The system consists of two functional parts. The one, which is based upon an inexpensive modification of multiformat imaging device, yields SGI. The other, which is based on a minicomputer system, acquires data only from around about LV area and yields LVVC from ECG P wave without the reconstruction of these images. In as little as 5 min result, which is also corrected uniformity of gamma-camera, is given.

Conversion of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage to internal drainage in obstructive jaundice.

Conversion of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage to an internal drainage is safe and effective in rerouting bile back to the intestinal tract in obstructive jaundice without major operative procedure. The method consists of insertion of a drainage tube with several side holes beyond the bile duct stricture. Usually, a single lumen tube is used. However, double lumen tube is preferred when the amount of bile discharge is excessive. This simple technique is found to be useful in the management of obstructive jaundice not only for preoperative decompression of biliary tree but also for the inoperable lesions.

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage: direct approach under fluoroscopic control.

We devised a direct percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage under fluoroscopic control. The principle is as follows. After percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, the three dimensional structure of intrahepatic bile ducts is projected to a two dimensional plane under fluoroscopy; the needle can then be introduced into the selected bile duct with accuracy. The technique can be used as a preoperative management of operations of patients with jaundice and also as a palliative management of advanced cancer without much complication.

Studies on etiology of essential hypertension. Hemodynamics, water-sodium balance and response to pressor substances during long-term sodium restriction and after spontaneous blood pressure fall--.

CI, TPRI, PV, ECFV, Nae, PRA and a pressor response to NA and AT was measured before and after 1) sodium restriction and 2) spontaneous blood pressure fall (spontaneous fall) in the patients with essential hypertension and the following results were obtained. 1) CI did not change during sodium restriction and increased after spontaneous fall. TPRI was reduced and the degree of this reduction was positively correlated with that of blood pressure reduction under these two conditions. 2) Sodium restriction caused the decrease of PV, ECFV and Nae and the increase of PRA. The degree of the reduction of PV and Nae was positively correlated with that of blood pressure fall. After spontaneous fall, PV, ECFV and NAe was increased and PRA did not change significantly. 3) A pressor response to NA and AT was depressed after one week of sodium restriction, and after 4 weeks the former returned to the basal response, while the latter was still reduced. NA response was correlated positively with basal Nae, ECFV and interstitielle fluid volume and negatively with basal PRA. AT response was negatively correlated with PRA before and during sodium restriction. No correlation was observed, however, between the degree of reduction of blood pressure and that of the change in pressor response to NA or AT. After spontaneous fall, the response to NA was not reduced but increased. These results suggested that, although the fall in blood pressure under these experimental conditions was mediated by the reduction of TPRI, the changes in pressor response to NA and AT did not affect primarily the reduction of blood pressure.
