Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the commonest cancer of the biliary tree and the most frequent cause of death from biliary malignancies. The incidence of GBC shows prominent geographic, age, race, and gender-related differences and is 4-7 times higher in patients with gallstones. This prompted us to study the clinicopathological aspects of the disease and the incidence of gallstones in gallbladder carcinoma patients, in this part of India. In this, combined retrospective (Jan 2004-March 2010) and prospective study (April 2010-Dec 2011) of eight years, 198 patients of gallbladder carcinoma (50 males and 148 females), (range 28-82 years; mean 55 years) were studied. Most of the patients were poor and presented with abdominal pain and mass, with abnormal lab parameters. Gallstones were present in 86% of patients. Surgical exploration was performed in 130, with gallbladder resection in 60 (including 7 incidental GBC). Adenocarcinoma (87.7%) was the commonest histological type. The study indicates that GBC is common in our scenario. It is a disease of elderly females, has a strong association with gallstones and every cholecystectomy specimen should be examined histopathologically.

There are different kinds of the pseudo-mass of the gallbladder(GB) such as GB stones, GB polyps, GB sludge, and these can be differentiated by simple-ultrasonogram(USG). The most common symptoms of GB polyps are abdominal pain(RUQ), dyspepsia, jaundice, but usually there are no symptoms. GB polyps are commonly treated with a cholecystectomy if 10 mm or more in diameter. Pseudo-mass of the GB is regarded as products of stagnation of the Liver Ki in Oriental Medicine. The patient suffered from mild fever. abdominal pain(RUQ), and jaundice. He was diagnosed with a GB polyp(10 mm), liver cyst(12 mm) by simple USG. We treated him with Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine(Hoinsamgum-tang). After three days of treatment, the symptoms improved, and after one month the GB polyp was removed on the follow up of USG.

Purpose: Cholecystectomy is rarely performed in the child and adolescent. However, it is associated with several conditions. This study was conducted to describe the characteristics of pediatric patient who underwent cholecystectomy unrelated to hematologic disorders, and then to suggest its clinical significance in management by comparing a simple and complicated gallbladder disease. Methods: We reviewed cases of cholecystectomy in pediatric patients (under 18 years old) at a single institution between January 2003 and October 2014. There were 143 cases during the study period and 24 were selected as the subject group. Results: There were 7 male (29.2%) and 17 female (70.8%) patients. The mean age was 13.1 years old, and 66.6% of patients were older than 12 years. Mean body weight was 52.7 kg, and body mass index was $21.7kg/m^2$, with 41.7% of patients being overweight or obese. We could identify a female predominance and high proportion of overweight or obesity in a complicated disease. There were also significantly increased levels of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin in this group. Most patients (87.5%) underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Conclusion: Cholecystectomy for diseases unrelated to hematologic disorders is rarely performed in the child and adolescent. In general, female patients who are overweight or obese, and those older than 12 years old, require laparoscopic cholecystectomy owing to multiple gallstones. This condition has a tendency to show a complicated gallbladder disease and significantly increased levels of AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin.

Purpose: Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (APCT) is frequently used as a diagnostic tool in trauma patients. However, trauma unrelated, incidental findings are frequently encountered. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalences of incidental findings on APCT scans in trauma patients. Methods: The archived records of 801 trauma patients treated from January 2013 to December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Six hundred and forty of these patients underwent contrast enhanced APCT in an emergency department and were included in this study, and 205 (32.1%) of these patients had incidental findings. These findings were divided into two categories: category I, meaning a radiological benign finding not requiring further evaluation or follow-up, and category II, requiring further evaluation and follow-up. Results: One hundred and sixty (24.8%) patients were allocated to category I and 45 (7.2%) to category II. The most frequent incidental findings were discovered in kidneys (34.6%), followed by liver (28.8%), and gallbladder (15.6%). The most frequent finding in category I was a benign cyst (60.1%), followed by a simple stone (15.6%), and hemangioma (11.9%). Adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (17.8%) was the most common lesion in category II, followed by atypical mass (15.6%), complicated stone (15.6%) and cystic neoplasm (15.6%). Conclusion: The prevalence of an incidental finding on APCT scans was 32.1%. Although category II lesions were not common in trauma patients, these findings should be communicated to patients, and when necessary referred to a primary care physician. Systems are required for producing appropriate discharge summaries and informing patients about the implications of incidental findings.

Chilean red chili peppers contaminated with aflatoxins were reported in a previous study. If the development of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in Chile is associated with a high level of consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated red chili peppers, such peppers from other countries having a high GBC incidence rate may also be contaminated with aflatoxins. We aimed to determine whether this might be the case for red chili peppers from Bolivia and Peru. A total of 7 samples (3 from Bolivia, 4 from Peru) and 3 controls (2 from China, 1 from Japan) were evaluated. Aflatoxins were extracted with acetonitrile:water (9:1, v/v) and eluted through an immuno-affinity column. The concentrations of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and then the detected aflatoxins were identified using HPLC-mass spectrometry. In some but not all of the samples from Bolivia and Peru, aflatoxin B1 or aflatoxins B1 and B2 were detected. In particular, aflatoxin B1 or total aflatoxin concentrations in a Bolivian samples were above the maximum levels for aflatoxins in spices proposed by the European Commission. Red chili peppers from Bolivia and Peru consumed by populations having high GBC incidence rates would appear to be contaminated with aflatoxins. These data suggest the possibility that a high level of consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated red chili peppers is related to the development of GBC, and the association between the two should be confirmed by a case-control study.

담낭암은 진행된 상태에서 발견되었을 경우 예후가 매우 불량한 암으로 전신항암화학요법으로 치료를 하게 되나 일반적으로 고식적인 역할에 그치는 경우가 대부분이다. 본 증례는 원위부 림프절 전이가 있어서 수술적 절제가 불가능한 담낭암 환자에서 gemcitabine과 cisplatin을 병합한 전신항암화학요법으로 여섯 주기 치료 후 부분 관해를 얻어서 확대 담낭절제술이 가능하였던 증례로 매우 드문 증례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 담낭암에서 수술 전 항암화학요법의 효과는 아직까지 확립되어 있지 않으나, 최근 양호한 종양 반응률과 종양 억제율을 보이는 항암화학요법이 개발됨에 따라서 그 가능성이 기대되고 있다.

목적: 정상 대조군과 당뇨병성 자율 신경병증의 합병 유무에 따른 $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA 스캔을 이용한 담낭 배출률의 변화 정도를 37명의 당뇨병 환자와 24명의 정상인을 대상으로 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA 스캔은 검사 전날 저녁부터 금식한 상태에서 185 MBq의 $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA를 정맥주사하고 저에너지 범용 조준기가 장착된 감마카메라(Vertex, ADAC)를 이용하여 주사 후 5분, 10분, 20분, 30분, 60분에 복부 전면상을 1분간 획득하였고 지방식을 먹인 후 30분에 다시 복부 전면상을 1분간 획득하였다. 담낭 배출률을 구하기 위해 60분 및 90분 영상의 담낭에 관심영역을 설정하였으며 배후 방사능 측정을 위해 간우엽에 담도를 피해 같은 화소 크기의 관심영역을 설정하였다. 각 담낭의 방사능 계수치는 배후 영역 방사능치를 제하고 구하였으며 담낭 배출률은 다음의 공식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 담낭 배출률=(60분 담낭 방사능 계수치-90분 담낭 방사능 계수치)${\div}$60분 담낭방사능 계수치${\times}$100 (%). 결과: 당뇨병성 자율 신경병증이 합병된 환자가 20명 이었으며 자율 신경병증이 없는 환자가 17명이었다. 당뇨병성 자율 신경병증이 동반된 환자의 담낭 배출률이 $43.12{\pm}12.3%$로 자율 신경병증이 없는 환자의 $57.5{\pm}13.2%$보다 의미 있게 감소되었으며, 정상인의 $68{\pm}11.6%$보다 두 환자군에서 의미 있게 감소하였다. 두 환자군 간의 혈중 지질 농도, 당화혈색소, 체질량 지수, 공복시 혈당, 지단백(a) 등은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 수신자판단특성곡선 분석에서 얻은 담낭 배출률 50.2%를 기준으로 한 당뇨병성 자율 신경증의 진단 예민도와 특이도는 각각 80%와 76.5%였으며 곡선 아래 부분의 면적은 0.846이었다. 결론: 이상의 결과에서 보듯이 $^{99m}Tc$-DISIDA 스캔을 이용하여 측정한 담낭 배출률이 정상 대조군에 비해 당뇨병 환자에서 감소되어 있었으며 자율 신경병증이 동반된 환군에서 동반되지 않은 군보다 의미 있게 감소되어 있었다.
