Aim: An experimental study was performed to evaluate the effect of whole gut irrigation (WGI) solutions on contractile responses of the gallbladder and ileum and also on tissue cholecystokinin (CCK) levels.
Materials And Methods: Thirty guinea pigs were enrolled into five groups including control group (CG) and WGI group (saline physiologic [SP], Ringer lactated [RL], polyethylene glycol [PEG], and dibasic sodium phosphate [DNP]). After median laparotomy, the distal esophagus was ligated and SP, PEG, RL, and DNP infusions (2 mL/kg/min) were performed via gastric catheter until rectal discharge became clear in WGI groups. Ileum and gallbladder samples were obtained for in vitro and biochemical studies without irrigation in CG and after irrigation with different WGI solutions. Isolated ileum and gallbladder preparations were suspended in organ baths for contractile responses of carbachol and CCK. Also, biochemical analysis of tissue CCK levels was performed in ileum and gallbladder samples.
Results: In PEG group, gallbladder and ileum CCK levels were significantly higher than CG (p < 0.05). Also, DNP irrigation caused increased CCK levels in gallbladder samples (p < 0.05). In lower carbachol concentrations, PEG group showed increased contraction responses in gallbladder samples when compared with controls (p < 0.05). However, ileal responses to carbachol did not show any significant difference between groups, contraction responses to CCK was decreased in PEG group when compared with CG (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Among WGI solutions, PEG caused the highest CCK levels in gallbladder and ileum samples. Different WGI solutions affected the contractile responses of gallbladder and ileum smooth muscles divergently. Increased levels of CCK in PEG group support the decreased contractile responses in ileum. Therefore, our results confirm that the effect of WGI on gallbladder and ileum contractility may be CCK related.

Fasting is beneficial to alleviate fatty liver, lose weight and improve reproductive function. However, previous studies have shown that, during fasting, disorders of bile acid metabolism were strongly associated with intestinal inflammation. The physiological and biochemical parameters and gene expression of multiple tissues of chickens at every critical time node were measured by ELISA and qPCR.

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.

Gallstone ileus (GSI) is a condition caused by migrating gallstones lodged in the terminal ileum. Stone migration results from fistula formation, typically between the gallbladder and duodenum, termed a cholecystoduodenal fistula. This mechanical obstruction has high mortality and requires prompt intervention.

Background: We sought to create a laparoscopic-based model to predict the ability to perform a minimally invasive (MIS) cytoreductive surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer patients who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Methods: Fifty women were enrolled in a multi-institutional prospective pilot study (NCT03378128). Each patient underwent laparoscopic evaluation of 43 abdominopelvic sites followed by surgeon dictated surgical approach, either continue MIS or laparotomically.
