Adolf Stiehl, Richard Raedsch, Gerda Rudolph, Ursula Gundert‐Remy, Martin Senn – 1 May 1985 – In patients with hepatobiliary diseases, considerable amounts of sulfated and glucuronidated bile acids are excreted in urine. Information on the biliary excretion of these compounds is lacking. We used an intestinal perfusion method to determine the biliary excretion of sulfated and glucuronidated bile acids in eight patients with alcoholic cirrhosis and moderately severe cholestasis and compared results with urinary excretion rates.

Varmus, Don Ganem – 1 May 1985 – The infectivity and host range of ground squirrel hepatitis virus (GSHV) have been further examined by animal inoculation experiments. Although carrier squirrel sera usually harbor 109 to 1010 virions per ml as determined by physical measurements, titration of one such serum revealed that squirrel infectivity was lost following dilution of the sample over 106‐fold. Infectivity is markedly reduced by NP40 pretreatment of infected serum.

Eva I. Vidins, Robert S. Britton, Alan Medline, Laurence M. Blendis, Yedy Israel, Hector Orrego – 1 May 1985 – Portal hypertension in alcoholic liver disease has been attributed to an increased resistance to blood flow either of sinusoidal or of postsinusoidal origin. The former should be accompanied by sinusoidal compression while the latter is expected to result in an increased or a normal sinusoidal diameter.
