Case ReportsAneurysm of the common hepatic artery diagnosed by ultrasonography.
The authors report on their observation of a patient with an aneurysm of the common hepatic artery, the diagnosis of which had been previously established by ultrasonography. Verification of the finding by angiography was followed by timely surgery including aneurysm resection. The potential of ultrasonography in diagnosing this rare vascular abnormality, the CT scan of which had been erroneously interpreted as an inoperable tumour, is pointed out.

Specific cellular immune response in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.
The leukocyte migration inhibition test was performed in 39 patients with Helicobacter pylori infection and in 38 patients without such infection. The culture of Helicobacter pylori was used as antigen. A highly significant inhibitory effect on leukocyte migration was found in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. The results can be taken as proof of a systemic immune response to helicobacters at the cellular level in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.
