Abstract
Sixteen years follow-up was performed in a male of long-standing alcohol indulgence who had an alcoholic liver disease at the outset, followed by alcoholic pancreatitis which progressed finally to pancreatic calcification. During this course, the abnormalities of endoscopic pancreatogram were unremittingly progressive, whereas exocrine and endocrine pancreatic dysfunction remained fluctuating, but ultimately deteriorated. In contrast functional and histological abnormalities of the liver were not progressive but returned toward normal. The follow-up observations in this case suggest that some cases of typical alcoholic pancreatitis may have unremittingly progressive morphologic changes with fairly well reserved capacity of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic functions and their hepatic lesions may not be in parallel with pancreatic lesions.

Abstract
We performed a follow-up study on 70 patients with acute non-A, non-B (NANB) posttransfusion hepatitis and a retrospective study on 283 chronic hepatitis, 70 cirrhosis and 53 hepatocellular carcinoma patients of type NANB. In acute NANB post-transfusion hepatitis, as judged by the transaminase levels, th duration of the disease exceeded 6 months in 46/70 = 65.7% and 1 year in 32/70 = 45.7%. The histological diagnosis of the 32 cases persisting for more than 1 year was chronic active hepatitis in 5, chronic persistent hepatitis in 2 and unresolved hepatitis in 6. The frequency of previous transfusion in chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma of type NANB was 42.8, 37.1 and 15.1%, respectively, whereas the incidence of early posttransfusion hepatitis was 8.5, 8.6 and 7.5%, respectively. in chronic liver diseases with a history of jaundice and/or hepatitis, previous transfusions are more frequently associated with type NANB than with type B disease. The present study demonstrates that NANB posttransfusion hepatitis tends to develop to chronic liver disease when analyzed prospectively as well as retrospectively.

Abstract
Liver specimens were obtained from 21 non-A, non-B hepatitis patients when their serum transaminase levels were still elevated. The specimens were investigated by transmission electron microscope in order to investigate the presence of the structure relating to this type of hepatitis. Intranuclear electron-dense aggregates of virus-like particles were observed in 2 out of 21 cases. One was an unresolved acute hepatitis case with short-incubation posttransfusion type, and the other was a chronic persistent hepatitis case without bloodtransfusion. The size of these particles varied from 22 to 28 nm in diameter. The incidence of hepatocytes with the particles was approximately 2 to 3% of the cells investigated. These particles may represent an intranuclear alteration in close association with one type of non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Abstract
This study included 35 patients with liver cirrhosis, 23 patients with hyperthyroidism, 12 with hypothyroidism, and 2 with other endocrine disorders. In the various endocrine disorders an appreciable amount of triiodothyronine (T3) was excreted into the urine but the daily excretion was fairly constant in each patient. Urinary excretion of T3 was negligible or depressed in hypothyroidism, but increased with a rise in the serum level of T3. Serum and urinary T3 decreased in liver cirrhosis, but the serum thyroxine (T4) level was within the normal range. When the cirrhosis patients were divided into 3 groups according to the urinary excretion of T3, a decrease of urinary T3 was associated with a decrease in the serum levels of T3 and free T3. An increase of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) either before or after injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was inversely correlated with a decrease of serum and urinary T3. The decrease of serum and urinary T3 was correlated with the magnitude of lh a decrease in the serum levels of T3 and free T3. An increase of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) either before or after injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was inversely correlated with a decrease of serum and urinary T3. The decrease of serum and urinary T3 was correlated with the magnitude of lh a decrease in the serum levels of T3 and free T3. An increase of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) either before or after injection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was inversely correlated with a decrease of serum and urinary T3. The decrease of serum and urinary T3 was correlated with the magnitude of liver damage as judged by indocyanine green retention and a decreased urinary excretion of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate. In vitro experiments indicated that rat liver, as compared to the kidney, heart and skeletal muscle, strongly converts T4 to T3, but this activity is greatly reduced by liver damage induced by ligation of the bile duct. It is suggested that patients with liver cirrhosis are, to some extent, in a state resembling subclinical hypothyroidism because of inability of the liver to metabolize a sufficient amount of T3 from T4.

Abstract
e-antigen and anti-e were assayed in sera of asymptomatic HBs-Ag carriers and of patients with liver diseases. Thirteen out of 34 (38.2%) asymptomatic carriers were positive for e-antigen, which was in sharp contrast to the reports from USA and Europe. e-antigen was detected to a greater extent in patients with chronic active hepatitis, reversely anti-e in patients with chronic persistent hepatitis. However, e-antigen was found rarely in patients with cirrhosis and never in 23 cases with hepatoma positive for HBs-Ag. HBc-Ag in the liver was detected in 4 out of 8 e-antigen positive asymptomatic carriers and in 4 out of 5 patients with chronic liver diseases with e-antigen respectively, and moreover in 3 out of 14 anti-e positive cases, so that the presence of anti-e did not necessarily mean the negativity of HBc-Ag in the liver. Anti-HBc titer, however, was lower in anti-e positive sera than in e-antigen positive ones. This may implicate the decreased replication of HBV in cases with anti-e. These results emphasize that the investigation of e-antigen/anti-e is mandatory for the evaluation of the prognosis of asymptomatic carriers and of patients with chronic hepatitis.

Abstract
The antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) is belived to be a marker for natural infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). In order to study the etiological role of HBV in relation to primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC), the anti-HBc in sera of 31 PHC patients was surveyed by the immune adherence hemagglutination method which was about 10 times more sensitive than the complement fixation method. Twenty two out of 31 PHC cases were positive for anti-HBc (71.0%). The is a higher rate of incidence than that of HBs-Ag (51.6%). However, high anti-HBc titer above 2(10) which might reflect current infection with HBV was observed in 15 of these 22 cases. The remaining 7 cases had a titer lower than 2(8); 5 of these patients had neither HBs-Ag nor anti-HBs in their sera. As control, 37 anti-HBs positive blood donors with no definite liver disease were surveyed for anti-HBc titer. Thirty-four of them were positive, but in the majority of cases, the serum titer was less than 2(9), which might only reflect previous infection with HBV. These findings indicate that not only the prevalence of anti-HBc, but also the determination of its real titer is quite important for studying the relationship of HBV to PHC.

Abstract
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs-Ag) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBc-Ag) in hepatic tissue of 3 cases with various liver diseases were investigated by immunofluorescent method. Virus-like particles were demonstrated by electron microscopy in the nuclei of these 3 cases. The localization of HBs-Ag was restricted in cytoplasma or on the surface of hepatocyte, while HBc-Ag was almost in the hepatocytic nuclei. However, there was unexplainable discrepancy between the distribution of HBs-Ag and that of HBc-Ag, as more the former in number and less that latter, of hepatocytes. The size of virus-like particles in nuclei was 22-27 nm in diameter. Most of them were hollow, but some of them were wholly electron dense. Their distribution was various from case to case. Discussion was made on the correlation between the presence of Hepatitis B virus and HBs-Ag or HBc-Ag.
