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

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 10, Page 2403-2407, 15 November 2026.
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 ...

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.

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 ...

Landscape in the gallbladder mycobiome and bacteriome of patients undergoing cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Gallstone disease (GSD) is associated with changes in the gut and gallbladder bacterial composition, but there is limited information on the role of the fungal community (mycobiome) in disease development. This study aimed to characterize the gallbladder

Biliary‐type pain in children with chronic abdominal pain: A cross‐sectional, observational study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Functional gallbladder disorders are well‐recognized entities in adults with standardized diagnostic criteria since the Rome III criteria. The existence of these disorders in children is still debated. The primary aim was to estimate the prevalence of disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBIs) with abdominal pain, particularly ...
