OBJECTIVE
The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1893217 within the gene locus encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) results in a dysfunctional PTPN2 protein is associated with Crohn's disease (CD) and exists in perfect linkage disequilibrium with the CD- and
Despite evidence that mucin overproduction is critical in the pathogenesis of gallstones, the mechanisms triggering mucin production in gallstone disease are unknown. Here, we tested the potential implication of an inflammation-dependent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) pathway in the
Biliary amphipathic anionic polypeptide (APF) the major protein of the pigment-lipoprotein complex in bile, and calcium-binding protein (CBP) from gallstones are both small (less than 10 kDa), highly acidic, amphipathic proteins present in bile and closely associated also with pigmented areas in
Objective To observe the effects of Dahuang Lingxian Capsule (DLC) for regulating and controlling expression of hepatocyte transporters and bile metabolism spectrum in gallstone mice u- sing Western blot and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer ( GC-MS) , and to explore its possible mechanism.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a progressive systemic inflammatory response with high morbidity and high mortality, which is mainly caused by alcohol, bulimia, gallstones and hyperlipidemia. The early diagnosis of different types of AP and further explore potential pathophysiological mechanism of each
Axitinib is an oral second-generation selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors recently approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Numerous cases of acute pancreatitis have been reported after treatment with nonselective tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as
Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelial cells lining the biliary ducts and its occurrence can be anatomically classified as within the liver (intrahepatic) or outside the liver (extrahepatic). Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which can be called as biliary tract cancer
Paraganglionic tissues incidentally observed in the gallbladder are presented. The patients, a 51- and a 55-year-old woman, underwent gallbladder resection for chronic cholecystitis with gallstones. Two and one paraganglionic tissues were observed in the subserosal connective tissue of the two
The role of the isoprenoid pathway in gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases, and its relation to hemispheric dominance, was assessed in this study. The following parameters were measured in patients with (i) acid peptic disease, (ii) ulcerative colitis, (iii) gallstones, (iv) cryptogenic cirrhosis
OBJECTIVE
We present in this article 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic approach to screen the serum metabolic alterations in human gallbladder inflammation with chronic cholecystitis (CC).
METHODS
Total of 71 human serum samples was divided into two groups, (n = 41, CC) and (n = 30
OBJECTIVE
A large number of human and animal studies have challenged the hypothesis that cystic duct obstruction by gallstones causes cholecystitis. These studies suggest that lithogenic bile that can deliver high cholesterol concentrations to the gallbladder wall causes hypomotility and creates a
BACKGROUND
Although rare in the United States, gallbladder cancer (GBCA) is a common cause of cancer death in some parts of the world. To investigate regional differences in pathogenesis and outcomes for GBCA, tumor mutations were analyzed from a sampling of specimens.
METHODS
Primary tumors from
