Mesenchymal stem cells: A novel treatment option for primary sclerosing cholangitis
Abstract Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive liver disease for which there is no effective therapy. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes from a PSC patient were cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to assess in vitro change. A single patient with progressive PSC was treated with 150 million MSCs via direct injection into the common

Abstract Background Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) can present diagnostic difficulties on bile duct brushings as cytologic features mimicking adenocarcinoma may exist. This study evaluates the role of fluorescence in‐situ hybridization (FISH) as an adjunct to cytologic evaluation.

Abstract Molecular diagnostics has expanded to become the standard of care for a variety of solid tumor types. With limited diagnostic material, it is often desirable to use cytological preparations to provide rapid and accurate molecular results. This review covers important pre‐analytic considerations and limitations, and a description of common ...

Endoscopic CBD stone removal is more difficult with stones larger than 2 mm than with distal CBD diameter or round or square‐shaped stones. Therefore, endoscopic large papillary balloon dilatation (ELPBD) is probably more required for stones larger than 2 mm than for distal CBD; likewise, round or square‐shaped stones are likely more required for ELPBD

Role of circulating exosomal biomarkers and their diagnostic accuracy in pancreatic cancer
This systematic review aims to evaluate the current literature involving pancreatic cancer patient groups in search of highly accurate exosomal biomarkers. We reviewed 9 studies which involved 565 participants (331 PC and 234 controls). The mRNA panel (ARG1, CD63, CK18, Erbb3, GAPDH, H3F3A, KRAS, and ODC1) and GPC1 reported the highest performing ...
