Secondary bile acids, produced solely by intestinal bacteria, can accumulate to high levels in the enterohepatic circulation of some individuals and may contribute to the pathogenesis of colon cancer, gallstones, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Bile salt hydrolysis an...

A total of 257 patients (144 hilar cholangiocarcinoma [HCCA] and 113 distal bile duct adenocarcinoma [DBDCA]) who underwent curative intent resection (1987-2007) were analyzed; patients with gallbladder cancer were excluded. Final disease staging, including lymph node status and total ...
Cholesterol monohydrate crystals were found in the majority of gallbladder (83%) and hepatic (58%) biles of cholesterol gallstone patients but were not observed in pigment stone patients or controls. We conclude that of the several factors in addition to the bile salt:leci...
Sixteen patients (11.9%) developed late complications, including choledochal complications (stone recurrence and/or cholangitis; 14 patients) and acute cholecystitis (two of 32 patients with the gallbladder in situ). Multivariate analysis identified two independent risk factors for choledochal ...
GallstonesTomography, X-Ray ComputedTo evaluate the specificity of previously suggested computed tomographic (CT) criteria for diagnosing common bile duct (CBD) stones, CT scans of 38 patients with CBD stones were compared with scans of 32 patients with carcinoma obstructing the CBD and ...
The permeability coefficients calculated from the fluxes indicate that the nasal mucosa is moderately permeable to water-soluble compounds and compares with ileum or gallbladder. The addition of 0.5% sodium deoxycholate to the mucosal bathing solution caused a rapid, four- to fivefold increase in ...
