Laparoscopic Treatment of Gallstone Ileus

, 2014
Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis that has high morbidity and mortality. An intestinal obstruction can be caused by migration of a large gallstone through a biliary enteric fistula or by impaction within the intestinal tract.

Insight into the mechanism of gallstone disease by proteomic and metaproteomic characterization of human bile

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionCholesterol gallstone disease is a prevalent condition that has a significant economic impact. However, the role of the bile microbiome in its development and the host’s responses to it remain poorly understood.MethodsIn this study, we ...

The Circulating Cholangiocarcinoma Protein Biomarkers CRP and MASP2 Also Predict Gallbladder Cancer Risk

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a recent publication, Lapitz et al. reported differences in serum levels that predict the development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis prior to clinical manifestation. We examined whether these biomarkers also predict the risk of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in European prospective plasma samples from ...

Role of High total protein in gallbladder bile in the formation of cholesterol gallstones. [PDF]

, 1991
While it is generally accepted that cholesterol supersaturation of bile is of key importance in the rapid formation of cholesterol crystals, the role of total biliary protein and pH in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones is less well understood ...

Identification of changes in bile composition in pancreaticobiliary reflux based on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry metabolomics

BMC Gastroenterology
Introduction Pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR) can induce gallstone formation; however, its pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we explored the mechanism of PBR by the non-targeted metabolomic analysis of bile in patients with PBR ...

Gallstone Dissolution

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1990
Many methods are available for gallstone dissolution, including oral bile salts; cholesterol solvents such as mono-octanoin or methyl tert-butyl either; and calcium or pigment solvents such as EDTA and polysorbate. Which of these approaches will be appropriate for an individual patient depends on the type of stones; whether they are in the gallbladder ...

Novel High‐Quality Fluoroscopic Image Processing System With More Than 50% Radiation Dose Reduction in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (With Video)

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
The SPA setting reduced radiation exposure by > 50% while maintaining high image quality in real time, and was associated with a shorter ERCP procedure time. ABSTRACT Objectives Radiation dose reduction is an important consideration in ERCP. However, the low radiation dose compromises image quality.

Relation of Gallbladder Motility to Viscosity and Composition of Gallbladder Bile in Patients with Cholesterol Gallstones [PDF]

, 2009
Background/Aims: Increased viscosity and supersaturation of cholesterol in gallbladder bile, as well as an impaired motility of the gallbladder, are considered to be important factors in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones.
