Ultrasound versus liver function tests for diagnosis of common bile duct stones.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
BACKGROUND Ultrasound and liver function tests (serum bilirubin and serum alkaline phosphatase) are used as screening tests for the diagnosis of common bile duct stones in people suspected of having common bile duct stones.

Elevated Plasma IL-6 Associates with Increased Risk of Advanced Fibrosis and Cholangiocarcinoma in Individuals Infected by Opisthorchis viverrini [PDF]

, 2012
Opisthorchis viverrini is considered among the most important of the food-borne trematodes due to its strong association with advanced periductal fibrosis and bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma).

Improved Pancreatic Tumor Detection by Utilizing Clinically-Relevant Secondary Features [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Pancreatic cancer is one of the global leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Despite the success of Deep Learning in computer-aided diagnosis and detection (CAD) methods, little attention has been paid to the detection of Pancreatic Cancer. We propose a method for detecting pancreatic tumor that utilizes clinically-relevant features in the ...

Evaluation of the effect of metal stents on dose perturbation in the carbon beam irradiation field

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Propose Carbon ion therapy is indicated for cases in which stents have been inserted, such as bile ducts, but the effect of metal stents on carbon ion therapy is unclear. In this study, the dose perturbation of carbon ion therapy caused by metallic bile duct stents was evaluated by dosimetry. Materials and methods Five different types of metal

Epipolythiodioxopiperazine‐Based Natural Products: Building Blocks, Biosynthesis and Biological Activities

ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022
Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.

Gastric cancer simultaneously complicated with extrahepatic bile duct metastasis and portal vein tumor thrombus: a case report

Surgical Case Reports, 2023
Background Gastric cancer metastatic to the extrahepatic bile duct or accompanied by portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is rare. To our knowledge, there have been no cases complicated with both of these factors.

Letter to the Editor and Comments on: Intravital dynamic and correlative imaging reveals diffusion-dominated canalicular and flow-augmented ductular bile flux [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Bile, the central metabolic product of the liver, is secreted by hepatocytes into bile canaliculi (BC), tubular subcellular structures of 0.5-2 $\mu$m diameter which are formed by the apical membranes of juxtaposed hepatocytes. BC interconnect to build a highly ramified 3D network that collects and transports bile towards larger interlobular bile ducts

The FBXW7‐RPAP2 Axis Controls the Growth of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells and Determines the Fate of Liver Cell Differentiation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study shows that RPAP2, acting as an oncoprotein, promotes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, with its stability being negatively regulated by FBXW7, yet positively by HSP90 and USP7. The FBXW7‐RPAP2 axis plays a crucial role in controlling HCC cell growth and influencing liver cell differentiation.
