100 white mice were divided in two groups, 50 mice for each one. The experimental group was exposed to Bassa 50EC with dose of 30 mg/kg body weight orally during 60 days. The other one was taken distilled water with a similar dose and time. The results showed that SGOT and SGPT enzyme activities in blood of experimental mice increased after exposing to Bassa.

In order to observe the effect on liver function after exposure to enlurane which has relatively minimal hepatotoxic effect, we evaluated the changes of the s-GOT & s-GPT levels caused by general anesthesia with enflurane. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of enflurane on liver function by comparing the preoperative and postoperative(1st day, 3rd day, 5th day, and 7th day) liver function(s-GOT & s-GPT) tests is il cases of the first general anesthesia with enflurane and 15 cases of a second general anesthesia with enflurane. The results were as folllows: 1) The 1st operative group. a. There are 5 cases (45%) of significant changes of s-GOT levels and no case of significant change in sGPT levels. b. In most of cases, the level of s-GOT & s-GPT have returned to normal values on the 7th postoperative day. 2) The 2nd operative group. a. The increase in the levels of s-GOT was found in 10 cases, and the s-GPT in 6 cases. b. Postoperatively, the simultaneous increase in the levels of s-GOT & s-GPT were found in 4 cases. c. On the 7th postoperative day, the levels of s-GOT & s-GPT was not normal in 3 cases, and not normal for s-GPT in 2 cases. The above results show that the higher of levels of s-GOT & s-GPT after the second general anesthesia with enflurane apparent compared to the levels after the first general anesthesia with enflurane. And it can be assumed that the extreme precaution is necessary in conduction the second general anesthesia with enflurane.

The SGO-T and SGP-T values were studied among 19 non-biliary surgical patients for control and 21 biliary tract surgical patients from Feb. to August 1969 in Chung Nam Medical Centor. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The SGO-T and SGP-T evels in the non-biliary surgical patients was in the normal range during pre-operative and postoperative days. 2. In patients with biliary disease SGO-T and SGP-T level were high beyond normal range on the pre-operative day. On the 1st postoperative day, these values were more elevated about 20 % and 11 %, respectively, but decreased gradually on the second and third postoperative days. 3 In biliary patients, the values were lower than pre-operative level on the 3rd postoperative day. On the other hand, values had not dropped to pre-operative level on the 3rd postoperative day in non-biliary patients.

BACKGROUND: The HBV-PCR assay seems to be potentially valuable diagnostic tool for the evaluation of variable serologic status. However, the selection of the primer for HBV-PCR test may be very important because they can influence the HBV-PCR positivity. METHODS: We compared the results of primer HBV1/2 including famous 1896 and 1899 mutation sites with those of primer PHBV1/2 at precore/core region. HBV-PCR was tested in 87 HBsAg-positive patients using two sets of primers. The results were evaluated according to the primers and also compared the results with the clinical diagnosis and the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level. RESULTS: The positive rate of PHBV primer was higher than HBV primer including mutation sites (nucleotide 1896 and 1899) in HBeAg-negative patients. According to the clinical diagnosis, the sensitivity of PHBV primer was higher than that of HBV primer in chronic hepatitis patients. There was no significant correlation between ALT level and HBV-PCR results. CONCLUSIONS: It is important that the selection of primer in HBV-PCR is important, because the primer including mutation sites may result in false negative results. PHBV primer used in this study could be useful for the detection of HBV-DNA by HBV-PCR.

In the present study, an effort was directed to assess the changes of hepatic ensymes according to the exposed in short and long surgical cases under halothane anesthesia. 60 surgical cases were studied in two different group. Halothane anesthesia was given for less than 2 hours in the first group of 30 cases and for more than 2 hours in the second group of 30 cases. The results were compared with the normal values and summarized as follows: In the first group, the changes after halothane exposure for less than 2 hours were negligible. In the second group, SGOT and SGPT were elevated significantly and the number of enzyme-elevated cases were 5~6 greater in group 1.

OBJECTIVE: This controlled study was done to determine the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on the liver of cats undergoing major liver resection.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of IP on alanine transaminase (ALT or SGPT) in cat*that will undergo major liver resection.
DESIGN: This study is a randomized controlled trial.
SETTING: LIST Health Sciences Research Laboratory.
PATIENTS/ PARTICIPANTS: This is an experimental study on the effects of ischemic preconditioning under hepatic inflow occlusion on the SGPT as a measure of morbidity in Felis catus (domestic cats) undergoing right hepatic lobectomy. Nine male cats, weighing 2.5-5kg, are equally allocated into any one of the following 3 study groups: Control group not subjected to ischemic preconditioning (C), Experimental group subjected to 1 1/2 minutes of ischemia followed by 1.5 minutes of reperfusion (El), Experimental group subjected to 5 minutes of ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion (E2).
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the mean weight of cats in the 3 groups (p = 1.00). Comparing the pre and post result between using paired t-test, there was no significant difference in the baseline values (p = 0.14). However, there was a significant difference in the post result between the three groups (p < 0.001). The results showed that the mean post values significantly increased from baseline. The same result was noted in the El and E2 group where a significant increase was also noted with p values, 0.005 and 0.004, respectively. Comparing the mean difference in the pre and post values using ANOV A, there was a significant difference noted between the three groups as proven by all p values
CONCLUSION: In the past few years, interesting new data on the presence of ischemic preconditioning in various organs as an endogenous means to protect itself from ischemiahas been available. This study investigated and suggests that ischemic preconditioning may provide protection to the liver undergoing hepatic lobectomy.

Trichloromethane and dichloromethane have toxic effects on the liver, and incidents of toxic liver disease caused by them have been reported from time to time. In November 2021, an occupational chemical poisoning incident occurred in a shoe factory in Huidong County, Guangdong Province. After testing the air at the scene and analyzing the clinical data of the poisoning patients, it was preliminarily determined that the poisoning was caused by a mixed gas poisoning incident dominated by trichoromethane. At admission, the liver function of 7 patients was tested for different degrees of impairment (alanine aminotransferase 145-2501 IU/L, aspartate aminotransferase 66-1286 IU/L). The volatile organic components of on-site raw and auxiliary materials were analyzed. The percentages of trichloromethane and dichloromethane detected in 103A powder glue used in the poisoning workshop site accounted for 21.11% and 6.77% respectively.
