The control of sphincter of Oddi (SO) motor activity is complex and involves interactions between the SO smooth muscle with nerves, bioactive agents, and presumably interstitial cells of Cajal. Disturbances in SO motility are known to be related to painful clinical conditions, such as SO dysfunction and acute pancreatitis. Understanding normal SO motility and comparing this to disturbed SO motility patterns may identify mechanisms that could be targeted for future pharmacologic intervention. The effect on SO motility of recently identified neurotransmitters/neuropeptides, such as purines and orexins, is currently being determined. Furthermore, because the control of SO motility is complex, investigations with known bioactive agents, such as cholecystokinin and nitric oxide, are continuing. This review summarizes research investigating SO motility and function performed in 2005 and 2006.

Pancreaticobiliary Reflux with Normal and Relatively Long Common Channels Causing Cholelithiasis and Acute Pancreatitis in Children.
J Clin Med

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Tokyo Women's Medical University, Tokyo 162-8666, Japan.
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 And 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 (OR) 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.

Background: There remain controversies regarding the surgical treatment of extrahepatic bile duct stones (EHBDSs) in clinical practice.
Aim: To explore the curative effect of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) plus common bile duct exploration (CBDE) for the surgical treatment of EHBDSs and to analyze the risk factors that affect postoperative stone recurrence.
Methods: Eighty-two patients with EHBDSs admitted between March 2017 and March 2023 were selected.
