Cerra Fb, Cheung Nk, Fischer Je, Harold O. Conn – 1 January 1986 – Seventy‐five patients with acute hepatic decompensation superimposed on chronic alcoholic cirrhosis were prospectively randomized for a blinded trial of the treatment of hepatic.

Kazuhide Yamamoto, Patricia A. Sargent, Murray M. Fisher, John H. Youson – 1 January 1986 – Transmission and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to follow the degeneration of bile ducts of lampreys (Petromyzon marinus L.) during metamorphosis. The convoluted bile ducts of larval lampreys are surrounded by rich sinusoids, but this intimate biliovascular relationship is lost during metamorphosis because the bile duct degeneration is accompanied by the development of thick periductal fibrosis.
Siegfried Walker M.D., Adolf Stiehl, Richard Raedsch, Burkhard Kommerell – 1 January 1986 – The effect of terlipressin (N‐α‐triglycyl‐8‐lysinevasopressin) in bleeding esophageal varices was evaluated in a prospective placebo‐controlled study. Fifty bleeding episodes from esophagealvarices in 34 patients were randomized. Standard therapy with transfusions, fluid and electrolyte correction, and lactulose was performed in both groups. Balloon tamponade was used in 20 bleeding episodes in the terlipressin group and in 19 bleeding episodes in the control group.
Akinori Kasahara, Norio Hayashi, Kazuhei Kurosawa, Yutaka Sasaki, Nobuhiro Sato, Takenobu Kamada – 1 January 1986 – Hepatic blood flow and estimated hepatic oxygen consumption were studied in rats treated chronically with ethanol by organ‐reflectance spectrophotometry and the hydrogen clearance method.

Pierre Reding, Daniel Urbain, André Grivegnee, Daniel Frere – 1 January 1986 – The portal venous‐esophageal luminal pressure gradient may be more important than the absolute portal venous pressure in explaining hemorrhages caused by esophageal varices. A continuous recording of portal venous pressure and the esophageal luminal pressure enabled the authors to study the gradient between these pressures in 12 cirrhotic patients with varices of different size and under different circumstances, in particular inspiration, expiration, coughing and a Valsalva maneuver.
