[Pathogenic action of the duodenal contents in acute and chronic exacerbated human pancreatitis].

The authors carried out studies on 16 rabbits - 10 experimental and 6 control with implanted duodenal fistula. They poured for a period of 4 days through the fistula the duodenal content of 6 sick persons with acute and chronic relapsing pancreatitis into the duodenum of the experimental animals and the content of 2 healthy persons-to the animals of the control group. After each pouring the activity of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes was determined in sera and duodenal contents of the rabbits.

[An experimental study of the absorptive-excretory functions of the liver in acute pancreatitis].

In 24 rabbits, of which 16 test animals - with experimentally induced pancreatitis - and 8 controls, investigation on the resorption-excretory function of the liver was carried out with iodine131, Bengal pink. It is established that acute pancreatitis is accompanied by a substantially rised clearance and progressively falling excretory function of the liver, related to the intravenously injected Bengal pink.
