INTRODUCTION: Hypoxia is a biochemical condition where reduced oxygen partial pressure at tissue level occurs. This metabolic situation can lead to resistance to radio and chemotherapy. In malignant solid tumours, hypoxia is a common characteristic, having a great impact at biological level, being of tremendous importance for complete understanding of tumour progression. OBJECTIVES: We studied the behavior of 99mTc-HL91 in vivo, using an animal model based on Balb-c nu/nu mice with a xenotransplant of the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, WiDr...

Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by gram-negative bacteria of the genus Brucella. Involvement of the gastrointestinal, hepatobilliary, and skeletal systems has been reported frequently in the literature. Involvement of the nervous system is relatively uncommon and has been reported in only 3%-25% of cases of generalized brucellosis. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a prototypical postinfectious autoimmune disease. We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome in a 26-year-old woman as an uncommon presentation of neurobrucellosis...

PURPOSE: Two variants of Annexin A5 (Cys2-AnxA5 and Cys165-AnxA5) were labelled with Gallium-68 in order to evaluate their biological properties. PROCEDURES: Biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of the radiotracers were studied with μPET in healthy mice and in a mouse model of hepatic apoptosis. μPET imaging after IV injection of the tracers in combination with μMRI was performed in Daudi tumor bearing mice before and after treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy...

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common subtype of primary hepatobilliary cancer. Despite advances in surgical and medical therapy, its survival rate remains poor. Compared to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common liver malignancy, the underlying mechanisms of cholangiocarcinoma carcinogenesis are poorly characterized. P-cadherin (CDH3) is a cadherin super family member. Although CDH3 is frequently over-expressed in cholangiocarcinoma tissues, its roles have never been characterized...

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C is major emerging challenge for pathologists and treating physicians all over the world. Already 10 million Pakistani population has become anti-HCV positive. It is not only affecting hepatobiliary system but with passage of time research is revealing that Hepatitis C is going to involve almost every organ of the body. With timely diagnosis and treatment, millions of patients can be saved from morbidity and mortality. The nation has to sacrifice initial economic allocations to avoid later millions of mortalities and greater economic losses on affected patients and to support their families...

OBJECTIVE: Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) is a mode of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients that has gained popularity all over the world. The authors reviewed one-year experience with CVVH in intensive care units (ICUs) of Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital. The objectives of this study were to describe the characteristics of the patients and demonstrate the association between various factors and outcome. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The medical records of 45 patients who underwent CVVH treatment were analyzed...

Over the last three decades, the literature pointed out the implications of Aeromonas species in human pathology. These species were described as being involved in intestinal (several outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis of choleric/dysenteric form or chronic diarrhoea, ulcerative colitis, etc.) in normal adults or children, as well as in extraintestinal infections in immunocompromised hosts. This last aspect included a large range of cutaneous injuries (micronecrosis, abscesses, bums, cellulites, furunculosis), joint, bones, respiratory, urinary tract, ocular infections up to meningitis, endocarditis, peritonitis, hepatobilliary disease, endotoxic shock and septicemia (as consequence of leech microvascular surgery)...

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic invasive procedures in 70th and 80th years leaded to decrease reoperations on biliary tree. Iatrogenic injury of the biliary tract have increased in incidence in the first decade with the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Athough a number of factors have been identified with a high risk of injury ( and number of technical steps have been emphasized to avoid these injury, the incidence of the bile duct injury has reached at least double the rate observed with open cholecystectomy...

UNLABELLED: The efficacy of continuous arterial infusion chemotherapy through a subcutaneously implanted port has been reported with less adverse effects than systemic chemotherapy in hepatobilliary malignancies. However, macrocytic anemia is sometimes seen during this therapy. In 25 patients (22 with hepatocellular carcinoma, 3 with cholangiocellular carcinoma) treated with cisplatinum (10mg/day) and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) (250 mg/day), the frequency of anemia and its etiologies were evaluated...

Kept under clinical observation were 78 patients under common bile duct drainage for mechanical jaundice of the nontumor genesis. In all patients, micellarity and lithogenicity of the hepatic bile (fraction "C") were studied postoperatively, with an individual selection having been carried out of the index of transcutaneous electrostimulation effect on the hepatobilliary system. An effective modality has been elaborated for treatment and prophylaxis of hepatic insufficiency, correction of micellarity and lithogenicity of bile in the early postoperative period in patients with mechanical jaundice of the nontumor genesis, that can be recommended for use in the health care practice...

REVIEW
S Fujimoto, M Asaka
The recent phenomenal success of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has led to replacement of conventional abdominal surgery as the standard treatment of gall bladder diseases. In an enterprising attempt to expand clinical indications for this minimally invasive form of surgery, physicians and surgeons of the various specialties have been looking to endoscopic operations for benign and/or malignant diseases. Endoscopic surgery usually combines the advantages of less postoperative pains and early return to routine activities with clinical efficacy equivalent to the conventional operation whenever its indication is right...

Using the simple thin layer polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, serum alkaline phosphatase could be separated 5 isozyme bands in various digestive diseases, consisting of 54 cases of gastric cancer, 11 of colonic cancer, 12 of hepatoma, 4 of cholangioma, 14 of pancreatic cancer, 81 of benign hepatobilliary diseases, 13 of cancers of other organs and 61 of control. The obtained results were as follows: 1) The electrophoretic analysis of serum alkaline phosphatase showed the specific band remaining at the origin, already reported as "alkaline phosphatase O", in primary and metastatic cancer of the liver and cholelithiasis...
