REMEDI: REinforcement learning-driven adaptive MEtabolism modeling of primary sclerosing cholangitis DIsease progression [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare disease wherein altered bile acid metabolism contributes to sustained liver injury. This paper introduces REMEDI, a framework that captures bile acid dynamics and the body's adaptive response during PSC progression that can assist in exploring treatments.

Peristaltic flow of a fluid in a porous channel: A study having relevance to flow of bile within ducts in a pathological state [PDF]
International Journal of Engineering Science (IJES), Volume: 49,
Issue: 9(2011) pp. 950-966, 2011 The paper deals with a theoretical study of the transport of a fluid in a channel, which takes place by the phenomenon of peristalsis. A mathematical analysis of the said problem has been presented. The analysis involves the application of a suitable perturbation technique. The velocity profile and the critical pressure for the occurrence of reflux are

Role of High total protein in gallbladder bile in the formation of cholesterol gallstones. [PDF]
, 1991 While it is generally accepted that cholesterol supersaturation of bile is of key importance in the rapid formation of cholesterol crystals, the role of total biliary protein and pH in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones is less well understood ...

Monitoring the hepatobiliary function using image techniques and labeled cholephilic compounds
Exploration of Digestive Diseases, 2023 Evaluation of the hepatobiliary function is critical for the clinicians, not only for the diagnosis of a large variety of liver diseases but also in the follow-up and management of some patients, for instance, those with different degrees of cholestasis ...

Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Blood Clearance of Liver Fluorescent Markers for the Assessment of the Degree of Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 During liver transplantation, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable and decreases the overall success of the surgery. While guidelines exist, there is no reliable way to quantitatively assess the degree of IRI present in the liver. Our recent study has shown a correlation between the bile-to-plasma ratio of FDA-approved sodium fluorescein (SF)

The role of the bile salt surfactant sodium deoxycholate in aqueous two-phase separation of single-wall carbon nanotubes revealed by systematic parameter variations [PDF]
, 2022 Aqueous two-phase (ATP) extraction has been demonstrated as a fast, scalable, and effective separation technique to sort single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) according to their diameter and chiral structure. The exact mechanism behind the chirality-dependent migration of SWCNTs between the two phases is however not completely understood, and depends ...

Biliary Bicarbonate Secretion Constitutes a Protective Mechanism against Bile Acid-Induced Injury in Man [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Cholangiocytes expose a striking resistance against bile acids: while other cell types, such as hepatocytes, are susceptible to bile acid-induced toxicity and apoptosis already at micromolar concentrations, cholangiocytes are continuously ...

Microbiome-derived bile acids contribute to elevated antigenic response and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, disabling and incurable autoimmune disease. It has been widely recognized that gut microbial dysbiosis is an important contributor to the pathogenesis of RA, although distinct alterations in microbiota have been associated with this disease.
