Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a challenging diagnosis due to its similar presentation with other biliary diseases; thus, the role of endoscopy is sometimes unclear, especially in altered anatomy. Radiological examinations may usually suspect it, but deeper examinations could be necessary to confirm it. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) certainly has a therapeutic role in cases of jaundice, cholangitis or concurrent choledocolithiasis, although surgery is without doubt the definitive treatment in most of the cases.

Here, newly developed hepatocyte sheets supplemented with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were evaluated to assess the effects of ADSCs on hepatocyte function and engraftment into the subcutaneous space. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were used as donors, and 6-week-old male C.

Background: Gallbladder carcinoma is the most common cancer of the biliary tract, and the immune checkpoint blockade showed promising efficacy in the treatment of advanced gallbladder carcinoma. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to reveal immune cell dynamics in an anti-PD-1 responder with gallbladder carcinoma liver metastases.

Background: Biliary cirrhosis is associated with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), which is related to increased posttransplant morbidity and mortality.
Aims: This study aims to analyze the pathophysiology of biliary cirrhosis and the onset of HPS.
Methods: Twenty-one-day-old Wistar rats were subjected to common bile duct ligation and were allocated to two groups: group A (killed 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 weeks after biliary obstruction) and group B (subjected to biliodigestive anastomosis 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 weeks after the first procedure and killed 3 weeks later).
