To investigate the changes in serum anti-
Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody (HP Ab), pepsinogen I (PG I), pepsinogen II (PG II), and pepsinogen I/II ratio (PG I/II) after eradication therapy of
Helicobacter pylori (HP), we studied 78 patients with HP-positive peptic diseases. They received combination therapy (proton pump inhibitor+amoxicillin:
n=17, proton pump inhibitor+amoxicillin+clarithromycin:
n=61). In the 68 patients in whom HP was eradicated, HP Ab, PG I, and PG II decreased and PG I/II increased significantly after eradication. Especially, the decrease in PG II and the increase in PG I/II were rapid and remarkable, found 2 months after the beginning of eradication therapy, and then continued. On the other hand, in the patients in whom HP was not eradicated, HP Ab and PG I/II did not change significantly, while PG I and PG II temporarily increased at the end of administration of proton pump inhibitor. In conclusion, it seems that the measurement of PG II and PG I/II is useful for the early detection of HP eradication.

One of the shortcomings of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is that many sessions are necessary to accomplish the treatment. This may be caused by which the ultrasonography (US) image does not reflect correctly to the kinetics of injected ethanol into HCC nodule. It is considered that number of treatment sessions are able to be reduced if we just enough injected labelled ethanol under US into HCC nodule. Therefore, we tried PEIT by ethanol mixed with CO
2 microbubble (CO
2 ethanol). The injected CO
2 ethanol was aquired as hyperechoic image without strong acoustic shadow to the end of injection. Consequently we could reduce the number of treatment sessions to almost 1 for lesions ≤3 cm in diameter and markedly reduce total dose of injected ethanol. The detectable rate of CO
2 ethanol leaked out HCC nodule was high. No serious complication occured. There have been only 1 lesion of local recurrence and no case of intrahepatic and peritoneal dissemination for 11.5 months on average of observation after PEIT by CO
2 ethanol (CO
2PEIT). These findings suggest that CO
2PEIT is useful method for reducing the number of treatment sessions and total dose of injected ethanol, moreover preventing complication by ethanol leakage.

Histopathological findings were examined in the models of chronic pancreatitis. Using mongrel dogs, we prepared a control group (group C), a chronic ischemic group (group I), an alcohol administration group (group A), a duct obstruction group (group O), and an alcohol+obstruction group (group AO). Group I showed severe inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis, fat replacement and loss of acinar cells. Group A showed no change. In group O, mild periductal fibrosis was recognized. Group AO showed moderate inter-lobular fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, resembling those of human chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. Conclusion: 1) Histological findings of chronic ischemic group is severer than that of group O and AO. 2) The model of alcohol administration with incomplete duct obstruction is a useful model of human chronic alcoholic pancreatitis.
