Integrating critical view of safety and indocyanine green cholangiography to enhance safety in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a retrospective cross-sectional study

Scientific Reports
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard treatment for gallstone-related diseases, but bile duct injury remains a significant complication. This study investigates the efficacy of integrating the Critical View of Safety (CVS) and Indocyanine ...

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]

, 2012
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.

Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the transcription factor Nuclear Factor I‐B (NFIB) as a key suppressor of liver fibrosis. NFIB expression declines during hepatic stellate cell activation, and its overexpression reduces fibrosis in mice models. The mechanism involves NFIB directly repressing chemokine C─C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), thereby alleviating oxidative ...

Multiomics identifies the link between intratumor steatosis and the exhausted tumor immune microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Steatotic HCC can be diagnosed by MRI and forms a pro‐tumor immune microenvironment with high expression of PD‐L1, M2 polarization of macrophages and activation of CAFs, which may be a good target for combined immunotherapy. Abstract Background and Aims Immunotherapy has become the standard‐of‐care treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but its ...

Uncoupling Metastasis and Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in sgP19/kRAS‐Driven Spontaneous Metastatic Liver Tumor Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The article first reported that a murine mixed typical intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA)/sarcomatoid iCCA liver tumor model with 100% incidence of spontaneous extrahepatic metastasis and confirmed the occurrence of in mouse iCCA. Most importantly, EMT induced by the TGF‐β/ZEB1 axis does not influence tumor development or distant metastasis in this
