Background: Somatostatin, a neuropeptide and hormone, exists in the biliary tract of several species. The effects of somatostatin and its analogues on the sphincter of Oddi motility have been controversial. The aim of this study was to observe the action of stilamin and sandostatin on the sphincter of Oddi via choledochofiberscope manometry.
Methods: Twenty patients who had had "T" duct after cholecystectomy and choledochotomy were divided into 2 groups randomly: stilamin and sandostatin. They were subjected to manometry via a choledochofiberscope through the "T" duct tract. The following data recorded included duodenal pressure (DP), sphincter of Oddi basal pressure (SOBP), sphincter of Oddi contractive amplitude (SOCA), frequency of the sphincter of Oddi (SOF), duration of the sphincter of Oddi, and the common bile duct pressure (CBDP).
Results: After intravenous administration of stilamin at a dose of 250 microg/h, the mean SOCA increased from 89.18(26.50) to 128.57(54.21) mmHg (P<0.05). After the administration of stilamin at a dose of 500 microg/h the mean SOCA declined to 92.18(42.81) mmHg (P<0.05), and mean SOBP declined from 17.63(13.36) to 8.16(4.01) mmHg (P<0.05). Although SOF had declined from 9.25(2.45) to 7.46(1.52) n/min, it was not significantly influenced. After intravenous administration of sandostatin at a dose of 100 microg, the mean CBDP increased obviously.
Conclusions: Intravenous administration of stilamin at a dose of 250 microg/h stimulates the motility of the sphincter of Oddi whereas the injection of stilamin at a dose of 500 microg/h inhibits its motility. Intravenous injection of sandostatin of 100 mug has no effect on the sphincter of Oddi.

Background: Hepatolithiasis frequently presents with recurring cholangitis and complications. Oddi sphincter-preserved cholangioplasty with hepatico-subcutaneous stoma (OSPCHS), introduced in 1993, has shown favorable long-term results. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is commonly used, but its impact on OSPCHS outcomes remains unclear.

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ) has a long common channel (CC) that causes pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), which has been implicated in gallstones, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatitis. By contrast, PBR has occurred in cases with normal and longer CCs than normal but shorter than PBMJ. This pathophysiology has been primarily reported in adults and rarely in children.

Background & Aims: Pancreatitis is the most common serious adverse event associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This meta-analysis aimed to precisely assess the risk factors for post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP).
Methods: We searched electronic databases for studies that assessed risk factors for PEP after adjusting for ≥3 risk factors, including at least one pre-specified patient-related and one procedure-related risk factor, and reported the data as adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals.

Background: Chronic biliary disease, including cholangitis and cholecystitis, is attributed to ascending infection by intestinal bacteria. Development of a mouse model for bile duct inflammation is imperative for the advancement of novel therapeutic approaches. Current models fail to replicate the harmful bacterial influx to the biliary tract observed in humans and spread of inflammation to the liver.

A high recurrence rate is undesirable after treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones. A major risk factor identified for recurrence is that invasive techniques, including surgical or endoscopic treatments, will impair the biliary tract system either by direct incision of the CBD or by cutting or dilating the ampulla of Vater. During endoscopic treatment, two main assisted methods for lithotomy, sphincterotomy and papillary balloon dilation, can result in different degrees of damage to the structure and function of the sphincter of Oddi (SO), contributing to slowing of biliary excretion, cholestasis, biliary bacterial infection, and promotion of bile duct stone recurrence.
