Excision of a part of the bile duct as an iatrogenic injury typical for laparoscopic cholecystectomy - characteristics, treatment and long-term results, based on own material.

Introduction: Cholecystectomy is associated with the risk of bile duct injury (BDI). The nature of the injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) cases seems to be more serious.

Aim: We present an analysis of long-term results of the treatment of patients who underwent operations at our department due to iatrogenic excision of a part of the bile duct (EPBD).

Diverse β subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins are present in thyroid plasma membranes.

The functioning of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits in the transduction of hormonal signals to appropriate intracellular responses is well recognized. Much less is known about the distribution of isoforms and functions of G protein β subunits. Here, using specific antibodies, we documented that in plasma membranes of the thyroid cell line Nthy-ori 3-1 all Gβ isoforms-Gβ(1), Gβ(2), Gβ(3), Gβ(4) and Gβ(5) are present, while the Gβ(3) occurs in minute amount.

[Epithelioma calcificans malherbe].

Authors described the case of familial occurrence of epithelioma calcificans Malherbe (pilomatricoma) in 6-year-old boy and his 68-year-old grandfather. Tumors were clinically diagnosed as atheromas of nucha and shoulder.
