Extrahepatic Bile Duct Duplication with Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm: A Case Report
대한영상의학회지, 2021 Extrahepatic duct duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Hilar cholangiocarcinoma with extrahepatic bile duct duplication was reported; however, intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) with extrahepatic bile duct ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Our aim was to compare the outcomes of preoperative chemotherapy with postoperative chemotherapy in patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases treated with CAPOX‐Bev. We demonstrated that both preoperative and postoperative CAPOX‐Bev were safely administered, and preoperative chemotherapy showed a numerically higher treatment compliance rate ...

Mesenteric thrombosis: An unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis—Report of two cases
Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract The incidence of acute pancreatitis is 34 per 100 000 people in the general population and is on the rise. Approximately 15% to 20% of all patients experience severe pancreatitis, with a mortality rate nearing 20%. This condition is often linked to vascular complications, although mesenteric thrombosis is a rare presentation.

Expression and localization of sterile alpha motif domain containing 5 is associated with cell type and malignancy of biliary tree. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a type of relatively rare neoplasm in adenocarcinoma. The characteristics of CCs as well as biliary epithelial cells are heterogeneous at the different portion of the biliary tree.

Gut Microbiota-derived Bile Acids Promote Gamma-secretase Activity Through Interactions with Nicastrin Subunits [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as a progressively pervasive neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Bile acids, synthesized in the liver and modified by the gut microbiota, play pivotal roles in diverse physiological processes, and their dysregulation in individuals with AD has been well-documented.

Approximate One-Dimensional Models for Monoenergetic Neutral Particle Transport in Ducts with Wall Migration [PDF]
Journal of Computational and Theoretical Transport 46.4 (2017):
242-257, 2016 The problem of monoenergetic neutral particle transport in a duct, where particles travel inside the duct walls, is treated using an approximate one-dimensional model. The one-dimensional model uses three-basis functions, as part of a previously derived weighted-residual procedure, to account for the geometry of particle transport in a duct system ...

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.

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)
