본 연구에서는 박절편과 동결할단복제법을 이용하여 흰쥐 간세포에서 dehydrocholic acid가 수송되는 경로를 전자현미경적으로 조사하고자 하였다. 정상군이나 dehydrocholic acid 투여군에서 대부분의 Golgi 장치는 형성면을 담세관으로 향하고 있었다. Dehydrocholic acid 투여 20분 후에 세포질내세망과 Golgi 장치 및 소포 등이 담세관 주위에 증가되어 있었는데 특히 Golgi 장치 형성면에서는 소포가 될 것으로 추정되는 싹이 돌출되어 있었으며 소포들은 담세관에 융합된 것들도 관찰되었다. 이러한 소견으로 미루어 담즙산의 분비는 Golgi 장치 형성면의 쌀이 유리되어 형성된 소포가 담세관막에 융합되므로서 이루어질 것으로 추정된다.

This study was attempted to investigate the pharmacokinetics of cyclosporine (10mg/kg, oral) in rabbits with $CCI_4$ and bile duct ligation-induced hepatic disorder. The area under the curve (AUC) of blood cyclosporine concentration versus time was significantly increased ($CCI_4$-induced hepatic disorder. Elimination rate constant (Kel) was significantly decreased (p<0.05, p<0.01) in rabbits with $CCI_4$ and bile duct ligation-induced hepatic disorder. Volume of distribution (Vdss) and total body clearance (CLtot) were significantly decreased (p<0.01) in rabbits with $CCI_4$-induced hepatic disorder. But Vdss was significantly increased (p4-induced hepatic disorder were 874ng/ml and 2.71 hr, respectively. Cmax and Tmax values in rabbits with bile duct ligation were 105ng/ml and 2.834 hr, respectively. From results of this experiment. It is desirable to do therapeutic drug monitoring of cyclosporine for effective treatment when the cyclosporine is administered to patients with liver disorder m clinical practice.

We report a patient with combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma confined in the common hepatic duct and scirrhous type of hepatocellular carcinoma in the caudate lobe of liver simultaneously. The patient was a 55-yearsold Korean man with hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier who was referred from a local hospital due to detected liver mass on abdominal computed tomography (CT). He has presented jaundice and weight loss for the previous 3 weeks. Laboratory examination showed AST/ALT elevation and hyperbilirubinemia. HBsAg was positive. The tumor marker study showed elevated AFP and DCP, not CEA and CA 19-9. Abdominal CT disclosed an about 2.1×0.9 cm sized soft tissue density in hilum with both intrahepatic duct (IHD) dilatations and an about 3×2.1 cm sized arterial enhancing lesion at segment 8 of the liver. Patient received 15 cycles of Gemcitabine/Cisplantin chemotherapy from February 27, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Caudate lobectomy of liver, segmental resection of bile duct and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed on February 10, 2014. The final pathologic report showed double primary liver cancer, combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma in common hepatic bile duct and scirrhous type of hepatocellular carcinoma in segment 1 of the liver. This is a very unusual case in which combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma confined in the large bile duct and two rare hepatic cancers coexisted.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic biliary drainage is the gold standard treatment for cholangitis. The two methods of biliary drainage are endoscopic biliary stenting and nasobiliary drainage. A novel integrated outside biliary stent and nasobiliary drainage catheter system (UMIDAS NB stent; Olympus Medical Systems) was recently developed. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of this stent in the treatment of cholangitis caused by common bile duct stones or distal bile duct strictures. Methods: We conducted a retrospective pilot study by examining the medical records of patients who required endoscopic biliary drainage for cholangitis due to common bile duct stones or distal bile duct strictures, and who were treated with a UMIDAS NB stent, between December 2021 and July 2022. Results: Records of 54 consecutive patients were reviewed. Technical and clinical success rates were 47/54 (87.0%) and 52/54 (96.3%), respectively. Adverse events were observed in 12 patients, with six patients experiencing pancreatitis as an adverse event, following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Regarding late adverse events, five cases of biliary stent migration into the bile duct were observed. Disease-related death occurred in one patient. Conclusions: The outside-type UMIDAS NB stent is an efficacious new method for biliary drainage and can be applied to many indications.

The mechanism of how cholelithiasis increases the risk of acute pancreatitis remains obscure. When gallstones obstruct the lower biliary tract, bile acids can enter the pancreas either by luminal diffusion or by interstitial leakage. Here we provide the first evidence that bile acids can be transported into pancreatic acinar cells through the membrane transporters and induce cell death by impairing intracellular Ca$\^$2+/ signals.(omitted)

In order to select probiotics with a high survival rate in gut and the growth inhibition of virulent pathogens to human beings or animals, we have screened lactic acid bacteria and yeasts from Jeot-gal to assess resistance against the artificial gastric acid and bile juice. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts isolated were incubated for 24 h in artificial bile juice after incubation for 2 h in artificial gastric acid. Especially, strain HW 161 and strain NK 181 showed the higher survival for 2 h incubation in artificial gastric acid. All of 3 strains of lactic acid bacteria and 2 strains of yeast were showed higher growth rate than the control in artificial bile. The antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts was also investigated to prove efficacy as probiotic organisms. Lactic acid bacteria were shown the inhibition of Gram positive and negative bacteria, but yeasts narrow inhibition.

This studies were carried out to investigate the physiological characteristics of lactic acid bacteria related to kimchi fermentation. 157 strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from home-made kimchi of Taegu district. 144 strains of isolated lactic bacteria showed resistance to artifical gastric juice and bile. Among isolated strains, fifteen strains were selected according to the growth characteristics. The selected strains survived for 24 hours in artifical bile after incubation for 3 hours in artificial gastric jucie (pH 2.5). Especially, three strains such as B-10, K-2, and F-3, showed little viable cell change for 3 hrs incubation in artifical gastric juice. The selected strains showed low viability in artificial gastric juice but high in artifical bile. The selected strains also showed significantly antimicrobial activities to pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtili, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The fifteen selected strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sake and Leuconostoc mesenteroides.

Although acebutolol (ABT) is almost completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract, oral bioavailability of the drug is low due to extensive first-pass metabolism in the Gl tract and liver. In the present study, bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of ABT was studied in bile duct-bypassed rabbits after oral administration. For ABT the time to reach the plasma peak (T$_{max}$) and mean resident time (MRT) were increased by the treatment. For diacetolol (DAT), a metabolite of ABT area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), T$_{max}$ and plasma half-life were increased by the treatment. These results indicate that oral bioavailability of ABT is associated with the enterohepatic recycling of bile juice components.nts.

This study was conducted to isolate lactobacilli having characteristics to be used as health adjuncts with fermented milk products. Acid tolerant strains were selected in Lactobacilli MRS broth adjusted to pH 4.0 from human faeces. Bile tolerant strains were examined in Lactobacilli MRS broth in which 1.0% bile salt was added. Microhemagglutination tests using swine erythrocytes were performed to select lactobacilli having adherence properties to survive in the intestinal tract. By examination of these characteristics the strain Nam 27, which was isolated from adult faeces, was selected and identified as Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius based on carbohydrate fermentation and 16S rDNA sequencing.

Chemical investigation of a marine-derived fungus, Penicillium sp. 108YD020, resulted in the discovery of six bile acid derivatives, glycocholic acid (1), glycocholic acid methyl ester (2), cholic acid (3), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (4), glycodeoxycholic acid methyl ester (5), and cholic acid methyl ester (6). The structures of six bile acid derivatives 1-6 were determined by the detailed analysis of 1D, 2D NMR and LC-MS data, along with chemical methods and literature data analysis.
