Experimental and Clinical Studies on the Influences of Surgical Autonomic Nerve Blook Upon Liver Functions in Radical Gastrectomy Combined with Radical Lymphadenectomy for Gastric Cancer Part II. Clinical Study

Liver functions were investigated from the point of metabolism to patients who underwent radical gastrectomy combined with radical lymphadenectomy. 1) Protein metabolism and eliminating function of foreign body, espeeially Takada's serum test and B. S. P. test were strongly positive, but other functions remained within normal limits. 2) The liver functions showed signs of recovery to those within one year after the operation but to those after two years showed a tendency to become worse 3) These changes are not considered to be due to the section of autonomic nerve system and the lesion of liver functions which has its cause in the section of autonomic nerve system recovers within a month as stated in the first part of this report.
