Alan C. Paterson, Michael C. Kew, Allen A. B. Herman, Pieter J. Becker, John Hodkinson, Charles Isaacson – 1 January 1985 – Hepatocellular carcinoma has a lower prevalence and presents at a later age in urban Blacks than in rural Blacks. These differences have previously been shown not to be attributable to differences in serum hepatitis B virus markers.

Wayne W. Lamorte, Erica A. Brotschi, Thayer E. Scott, Lester F. Williams – 1 January 1985 – Female Hartley guinea pigs fed a 0.5% cholesterol‐supplemented diet were found to form pigmented gallstones after 6 weeks (17/23) and 12 weeks (11/11), while only 2 of 44 animals fed a trace cholesterol diet formed gallstones over a comparable period. The light brown stones consisted primarily of aggregates of fine granular crystals, morphologically similar to calcium bilirubinate crystals.
Guadalupe Garcia‐Tsao, Harold O. Conn, Emanuel Lerner – 1 January 1985 – It has been suggested that the hydrogen ion and lactate concentrations may be superior to the polymorphonuclear cell count (PMN) in ascitic fluid, in the diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis (BP). In order to compare the diagnostic accuracy of ascitic fluid measurements of pH, lactate, glucose and the PMN in BP, we analyzed the ascitic fluids of 70 consecutive patients in whom pH, lactate, glucose and the PMN count were measured in ascitic fluid and arterial blood.

Leslie Zieve, Michael Shekleton, Carolyn Lyftogt, Kay Draves – 1 January 1985 – Four injections of subcoma doses of ammonium acetate, octanoic acid or dimethyl disulfide during the first 24 hr after two‐lobe hepatectomy in normal rats markedly depressed DNA synthesis as reflected by liver thymidine kinase activity or the incorporation of tritiated thymidine into hepatic DNA. Recovery from the depressant effects of the three toxins took 16 to 28 hr.
