A case of juvenile eosinophilic cholangitis: Rapid peripheral blood hypereosinophilia after admission leading to diagnosis

JGH Open, 2021
A 15‐year‐old boy was referred to our hospital with elevated hepatobiliary enzyme levels and jaundice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed at the previous medical facility revealed a stricture of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ...

Type Va extrahepatic bile duct duplication: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Extrahepatic bile duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which two common bile ducts exist. There are five different types of this anomaly and we present an unusual variant of duplication of an extrahepatic biliary system ...

Age-dependent distribution and size of lymphatic nodules as components of extrahepatic bile duct-associated lymphatic tissue in domestic swine  a micromorphometric study

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2023
Due to the biological and immunological similarity between pigs and humans, pigs are used in medi-cal research. Many morphological studies regarding the structure of the components of mucosal asso-ciated lymphatic tissue have been performed in animals ...

Distal Bile Duct Metastasis From Rectal Cancer: The Diagnostic Contribution of Intraductal Ultrasonography. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT A 49‐year‐old male developed liver dysfunction during chemotherapy for rectal cancer located in the rectosigmoid region. Although magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography initially indicated sclerosing cholangitis, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and intraductal ultrasonography revealed multiple non‐contiguous intraductal ...

F13A1‐Mediated Macrophage Activation Promotes MASH Progression via the PKM2/HIF1A Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In fatty liver disease, hepatocytes exposed to palmitate release S1P, which activates calcium signaling in macrophages. Elevated calcium enhances the activity of F13A1, driving PKM2 dimerization. The PKM2 dimers cause Warburg effect, translocate to the nucleus, cooperate with HIF1A, and upregulate IL1B expression, ultimately promoting classical ...

Evidence for Recipient-Derived Cells in Peribiliary Glands and Biliary Epithelium of the Large Donor Bile Ducts After Liver Transplantation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
IntroductionChimerism after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has largely been investigated in intrahepatic cellular constituents. However, little is known about chimerism in the extrahepatic and large intrahepatic bile ducts.

Choledochal cyst with a twist: Type 1 choledochal cyst and dilated cystic duct with aberrant accessory right hepatic drainage

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023
Choledochal cysts are rare cystic dilations of the biliary tree that typically involve the extrahepatic bile duct and more infrequently, the intrahepatic bile ducts. Todani's classification of choledochal cysts is the most referenced system in which five

Educational Impact of Artificial Intelligence‐Navigation Surgery on Anatomical Landmark Recognition in Medical Students

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the educational impact of artificial intelligence (AI)‐navigation surgery that provides real‐time anatomical landmark recognition during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for medical students. Thirty students were randomized into surgeon‐guided, self‐learning, and AI‐learning groups, and their performance was assessed using Dice ...

Surgical Outcomes and Recurrence Management in Borderline Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications for Multidisciplinary Strategies

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Multivariate analysis identified that up‐to‐7 out (p < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001), and non‐anatomical resection (p = 0.02) were independent predictors of cancer recurrence, while older age (p = 0.01), Child‐Pugh B (p < 0.001), up‐to‐7 out (p = 0.01), macrovascular invasion (p = 0.01), and lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001) were ...
