Disease relevance of Gallstones

 

High impact information on Gallstones

  • The effect of ursodiol on the efficacy and safety of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy of gallstones. The Dornier National Biliary Lithotripsy Study [6].
  • We conclude that the dissolution of gallstones by MTBE delivered through a percutaneous transhepatic catheter is a useful alternative to surgery in selected patients with symptomatic cholesterol stones [7].
  • Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid and aspirin on the formation of lithogenic bile and gallstones during loss of weight [8].
  • At entry, at four weeks of treatment, and at three weeks after the completion of treatment, the subjects underwent ultrasonography to detect gallstones and duodenal drainage of bile to detect cholesterol crystals and to determine the bile saturation index and glycoprotein concentration [8].
  • To determine whether highly saturated bile is a congenital or acquired characteristic of Pima Indians and to elucidate the basis of the rapid postpubertal increase in gallstones in Pimas, we studied the bile of 66 Pimas nine to 21 years of age [9].

Gene context of Gallstones

  • Our findings may offer a new approach to treat gallstones by inhibiting hepatic ER activity with a liver-specific, ERalpha-selective antagonist [24].
  • The patients with gallstones also had significantly increased cytosolic total and free cholesterol levels (P < 0.001), which correlated strongly with increased cytosolic levels of SCP2/nsLTP (r = 0.80, P < 0.001 and r = 0.81, P < 0.001, respectively) [25].
  • Biliary concentrations of CEA cross-reacting proteins were determined in patients with and without gallstones [26].
  • Our results suggest that overexpression of SCP2 contributes to biliary cholesterol hypersecretion and the pathogenesis of gallstones in genetically susceptible mice [27].
  • Lith6: a new QTL for cholesterol gallstones from an intercross of CAST/Ei and DBA/2J inbred mouse strains [28].
