Abstract
In 4 patients with cirrhosis and ascites, diuretic therapy resulted in an impairment of renal function that was associated with a rise in plasma renin activity (PRA). In 3, this occurred in the absence of volume depletion. When diuretics were discontinued, renal function returned to normal. beta-adrenergic blocking drugs were then given to suppress renin secretion and diuretics restarted. On this occasion, impairment of renal function did not occur. In 2 further patients, administration of beta-adrenergic blockers during a period of diuretic-induced renal impairment resulted in an improvement in renal function. Although these findings may indicate that diuretic-induced renal impairment in cirrhosis is at least partly due to activation of the renin-angiotensin system, in another group of patients a diuretic-induced rise in PRA was not associated with a deterioration in renal function.

Abstract
1. The spectrum of transit times of sodium o-iodohippurate (Hippuran) through the kidney can be derived from an 131I- (or 123I-) labelled Hippuran renogram by deconvolution. In the rabbit and pig, as has previously been shown in man, the frequency distribution curve for the transit times was bimodal. Since the transit time is likely to be proportional to the nephron length, the area of the first mode is likely to represent plasma flow to the shorter outer cortical nephrons whereas the delayed mode represents flow to the long juxtamedullary nephrons. 2. This interpretation was tested by simultaneously comparing renography with the microsphere method of measuring intrarenal plasma flow distribution in 12 rabbits and two pigs with a variety of anaesthetics. A close agreement was found between both methods for the percentage of plasma flow distributed to the outer cortical nephrons, thus supporting the use of "transit renography" to determine the intrarenal distribution of plasma flow.

Abstract
We have studied the cytotoxicity against rabbit liver cells of lymphocytes from the peripheral blood of 71 patients with various liver diseases. The group with chronic active hepatitis and three patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis showed significantly higher mean values of lymphocytotoxicity (P less than 0.001) compared with the other patients with chronic persistent hepatitis, post-necrotic fibrosis and cirrhosis. Wilson's disease, and prolonged viral hepatitis. The mean cytotoxicity of these last groups did not differ significantly from controls. In four out of six patients with chronic active hepatitis a significant decrease of lymphocytotoxicity was found after immunosuppressive therapy with oral prednisolone. A good correlation between the lymphocytotoxicity test and histological signs of activity suggests that a cell-mediated immune aggression is present in this disease.

Abstract
As a result of effective beta adrenergic blockade with either propranolol or practolol, plasma renin activity was suppressed in all of 11 patients with cirrhosis and ascites. In contrast, the effect on the rate of renal excretion of aldosterone was variable, suggesting that factors other than the renin-angiotension system are responsible for the control of aldosterone secretion in cirrhosis. The changes in aldosterone could not be explained on the basis of changes in the plasma concentrations of potassium or sodium. The renal sodium excretion was inversely related to the values for aldosterone both before and after beta adrenergic blockade, indicating a major role for aldosterone in regulating sodium excretion. A number of patients had an abnormal intrarenal distribution of plasma flow with a relative hypoperfusion of the renin-secreting outer cortical nephrons. Plasma renin activity was inversely related to outer cortical plasma flow, suggesting that the reduced outer cortical flow may be a stimulus to increased renin secretion. Because the abnormal intrarenal hemodynamic pattern was not corrected by suppression of plasma renin activity, and presumably angiotension II concentrations, it is unlikely that it is attributable to the known renal vasonconstrictor effects of angiotensin II.

Abstract
Two comparable groups of patients with hepatic cirrhosis of different genesis in a compensation phase have been treated for 30 days with S-adenosylmethionine and vitamine B-12 (28 cases) or with vitamine B-12 alone (25 cases). The drugs were given by slow intravenous route at the daily dose of 150 mg of SAMe and 2000 gamma of vit. B-12 or of 2000 gamma of vit. B-12 alone, in two adminstrations. An evaluation of the results was carried out mostly on the laboratory data testing the liver function. Only the group of patients who had received SAMe showed significant modifications of all the parameters considered. This is confirming SAMe ability to restore hepatocyte activity bringing also to normal the protein synthesis.
