Drug induced bile duct injury is a frequently observed clinical problem leading to a wide range of pathological features. During the past decades, several agents have been identified with various postulated mechanisms of bile duct damage, however, mostly
Concurrently a combination of CD45, CD31, and CD11b antibodies was used for depleting blood, endothelium, and Kupffer cells. (D) CD26 (DPPIV) was used for hepatocyte staining. (E) MIC1-1C3+ cells can be subdivided into two populations: ST14 high (ST14hiM+) and ST14 low (ST14loM+)....
The most common indication is for the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, but cholescintigraphy also often provides unique physiologic information on bile drainage in patients with suspected biliary obstruction and bile leakage. Dynamic cholescintigraphy is used to evaluate blood flow to the liver, hepatic...
You may need to adjust the dosage of insulin the day of the test. Your diabetes doctor will help you with this adjustment. Bring your diabetes medication with you so you can take it after the procedure. If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), ...

2A). Looking at the global gene expression of three paired organoid sets and one additional non-paired ICO, revealed a high degree of similarity and only small differences. As shown in Fig. 2B, this RNA sequencing analyses showed that only 29 genes were significantly differentially expressed (p...
The endoscopic diagnosis of biliary tract lesions is applied as a non-invasive method; however, its diagnostic accuracy is not yet high. Moreover, digital cholangioscopy is used for directly visualizing the inside of the bile duct, resulting in a more precise biopsy. We present the case series...
