Pigment gallstone disease: Summary of the national institutes of health—international workshop
Bruce W. Trotman, Roger D. Soloway – 1 November 1982 – This report summarizes the proceedings of the first National Institutes of Health—International Workshop on Pigment Gallstone Disease. The meeting held at the University of Pennsylvania in May, 1981 consisted of eight sessions in which the following aspects of pigment gallstone disease were discussed: (a) classification; (b) epidemiology; (c) radiographic assessment; (d) gallstone composition; (e) composition of bile; (f) pathogenesis; (g) animal models, genetics, and computer analysis, and (h) medical treatment.

Human liver plasma membrane Ca‐ATPase: Identification and sensitivity to calcium antagonists
Sophie Lotersztajn, Philippe Mavier, Jeanne Clergue, Daniel Dhumeaux, Françoise Pecker – 1 November 1982 – A high‐affinity calcium‐stimulated ATPase (Ca‐ATPase) was identified in a plasma membrane subcellular fraction from human liver.
The mechanism of biliary excretion of α1‐acid glycoprotein in the rat: Evidence for a molecular weight‐dependent, nonreceptor‐mediated pathway
Peter Thomas, Carol A. Toth, Norman Zamcheck – 1 November 1982 – The transport of human α1‐acid glycoprotein from the circulation to the bile has been studied in the rat. Biliary excretion was proportional to the i.v. injected dose, and the percentage excreted remained constant. The amount excreted in the bile (over 4 hr) was inversely related to the rate of hepatic (hepatocyte) uptake and the galactose receptor which is specific for asialo glycoproteins was not involved.

Studies to elucidate the thyroid hormone dependence of morris hepatoma 44
Raphael Pollack, Shaindel Y. Mishkin, Harold P. Morris, Mordechai A. Yalovsky, Seymour Mishkin – 1 November 1982 – The objective of these studies was to elucidate further the mechanisms of the thyroid dependency of Morris Hepatoma 44. In vivo experiments indicated that while exogenous thyroxine (8 μg per kg) reversed the hypothyroid‐mediated inhibition of primary hepatoma growth, no such effect was noted with the administration of ovine prolactin (100 μg per kg s.c.) and bovine growth hormone (100 μg per kg, s.c).
