To examine the effect of changes in bile lithogenicity on gallbladder muscle function, in vitro gallbladder contractility was studied in an animal model of cholesterol gallstones: Richardson ground squirrels fed either a trace (control) or a 1% wt/wt cholesterol (test) diet. Lithogenic index of

Gallstone disease is a major health problem in many parts of the world. In Nigeria, however, only a few cases of gallstone disease are reported. Minor/trace elements are reported to play a significant role in the formation of gallstones. This study was conducted to assess the minor elements in

OBJECTIVE To examine the mechanisms of action of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on gallbladder (GB) muscle cells in patients with symptomatic cholesterol gallstones (GSs) as it reduces the incidence of acute cholecystitis. METHODS A double-blind study was performed on 15 patients, 7 randomised to UDCA

OBJECTIVE Feeding a high cholesterol diet to dogs causes a reduction in gallbladder smooth muscle contractility with a consequent stasis. Gallbladder stasis is an important link between the hepatic secretion of cholesterol saturated bile and the formation of cholesterol gallstones. METHODS In this

Experimental diet-induced dog gallstones contained mainly protein, mucous substances, bile salts, bilirubin, an insoluble pigment which formed an insoluble black residue after acid hydrolysis, and only traces of cholesterol. Added dietary cholesterol was necessary to pigmented gallstone production

OBJECTIVE To determine the crystalline structure and chemical composition of gallstones in children and adolescents. Design of the studyA simple descriptive study was performed in 21 gallstones from pediatric patients with chronic cholecystitis who underwent elective cholecystectomy. Only two

Total cholesterol, total bilirubin, calcium, oxalate, inorganic phosphate, magnesium, iron, copper, sodium and potassium were analyzed quantitatively in gallstones, bile of gall bladder and sera of 200 patients of cholelithiasis (52 cholesterol, 76 mixed and 72 pigment stone patients) and their

Abnormal gall bladder motor function with delayed emptying and stasis are the contributory factors of gall stone formation. Since collagen is the major contractile protein, this study was designed to find out whether the biochemical and physicochemical changes of collagen contribute to the

Gallstone disease is one of the major surgical problems in the Libyan population; it is probably related to diet, especially excessive consumption of meat. The study was conducted to determine the composition of gallstones and their possible etiology in a Libyan population. The chemical composition

Gallstone disease is one of the major surgical problems in the Libyan population; it is probably related to diet, especially excessive consumption of meat. The study was conducted to determine the composition of gallstones and their possible etiology in a Libyan population. The chemical composition

Gallstones obtained from patients from the north-east region of India (Assam) were studied using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique. LIBS spectra of the different layers (in cross-section) of the gallstones were recorded in the spectral region 200-900 nm. Several elements,

One hundred and fifty surgically resected gall bladder specimens were included in the study to evaluate the relationship between the prevalence of gall stones and histochemical alteration in sequential changes of metaplasia, dysplasia and neoplasia in gall bladder epithelium. Multiple sections were

Chemical composition of gall stones is essential for aetiopathogensis of gallstone disease. We have reported quantitative chemical analysis of total cholesterol bilirubin, calcium, iron and inorganic phosphate in 120 gallstones from haryana. To extend this chemical analysis of gall stones by

Rabbits fed a diet containing 0.75% dihydrocholesterol for 7 days develop bile acid allodeoxycholic (ADCA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) stones in the gallbladder. In this model, inflammatory changes in the gallbladder mucosa are often observed even before stones are formed. Within 3 days of the

Intravenous fluid requirements for patients with permanent end-jejunostomy syndrome often exceeds 3 L/d, making rehabilitation difficult. The effect of the somatostatin analogue, octreotide (100 micrograms TID, subcutaneously) in reducing requirements was measured in 10 patients established on home
