Wolfgang G. Dippold, Hans‐Peter Dienes, Alexander Knuth, Walter Sachsse, Winfried Prellwitz, Dieter Bitter‐Suermann, Karl‐Hermann Meyer zum Büschenfelde – 1 November 1985 – A human hepatoma cell line, associated with thorotrast exposure, from an hepatitis B markernegative patient was established as a permanent cell line (Mz‐Hep‐1) in tissue culture. Histology of the primary tumor, as well as phase contrast, transmission and scanning electron microscopy of the cultured cells showed typical characteristics of liver cells.

Stanley B. Benjamin, Zachary D. Goodman, Kamal G. Ishak, Hyman J. Zimmerman, Nelson S. Irey – 1 November 1985 – Hepatic histopathology and clinical‐pathologic correlations were studied in 77 patients who met clinical criteria for halothane hepatotoxicity. They were divided into groups based on the type of surgery (minor or major) and outcome (nonfatal, biopsy group or fatal, autopsy group).

Russell D. Dorado, Eduardo A. Porta, Therese M. Aquino – 1 November 1985 – Seven groups of female Sprague‐Dawley rats (˜200 gm initial body weight) were injected i.p. with a single subcarcinogenic dose of diethylnitrosamine (40 mg per kg body weight) between 8 to 10 hr after partial hepatectomy, and after a recovery period of 3 weeks (herein called induction stage) received 0.05% phenobarbital in the diet for the rest of the experiment (promotion stage).

Chantal Marteau, Henri Portugal, Anne‐Marie Pauli, André Gerolami – 1 November 1985 – The potential role of bile salts in preventing calcium carbonate precipitation was investigated by studying their interaction of Ca2 and their inhibitory effects on calcium carbonate formation.

Steven A. Belinsky, Blair U. Bradford, Donald T. Forman, Edward B. Glassman, Michael R. Felder, Ronald G. Thurman – 1 November 1985 – The role of alcohol dehydrogenase in the hepatic necrosis due to allyl alcohol was studied in two strains of the deermouse, Peromyscus maniculatus. Mice of the alcohol dehydrogenase‐negative (AdhN) strain which lack alcohol dehydrogenase activity were resistant to allyl alcohol toxicity.

Ian R. Wanless, Carolyn Mawdsley, Ronald Adams – 1 November 1985 – Fifty‐one focal nodular hyperplasia lesions from 36 patients were examined histologically. Serial sections and three‐dimensional models were studied in selected cases. Lesions were multiple in 19% of patients. Thirty‐four patients were female. One case had 11 focal nodular hyperplasia lesions and 7 hemangiomata in the liver. Three had astrocytoma and one had anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
