A comparative analysis of possibilities of visual methods of diagnostics was made in order to reveal the causes of obstructive jaundice in chronic opisthorchiasis. There was estimated the possibility of topical diagnostics of rate and character of the bile passages block while conducting MR-imaging cholangiography. Types of architectonics of the bile passages were specified in chronic opisthorchiasis. A differentiated algorithm of treatment was developed and applied in relation to the obtained data.

Parasites have coexisted with humans throughout history, forming either symbiotic relationships or causing significant morbidity and mortality. The liver is particularly vulnerable to parasitic infections, which can reside in, pass through, or be transported to the liver, leading to severe damage. This editorial explores various parasites that infect the liver, their clinical implications, and diagnostic considerations, as discussed in the article "Parasites of the liver: A global problem?".

Background: Epidemiologically important food-borne trematodes Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis are recognized as biological carcinogens of Group 1A, while Opisthorchis felineus is in Group 3 as noncarcinogenic to humans. Mechanisms of the biological carcinogenesis are still elusive. Some studies highlight chronic inflammation as a key factor and common pathway for cancer initiation and progression.

Liver fluke infection is a major risk for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). It has been established that the Asian liver flukes, Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini secrete growth factors, digestive enzymes, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) which contribute to abnormal cell development in the bile ducts where the worms reside. These secretions - combined with aberrant inflammation and repeated cycles of chronic wounding at the site of parasite attachment and grazing on the epithelium - promote biliary hyperplasia and fibrosis and ultimately malignant transformation.

Article Synopsis
- * The study aims to evaluate the acceptability and impact of two versions of the "Magic Glasses" programs among schoolchildren in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Thailand, specifically focusing on soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Opisthorchis viverrini (OV).
- * A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted, assessing initial and sustained acceptability through questionnaires and discussions, while measuring the impact on students' knowledge, attitudes, and
Investigation of a Serine Protease Inhibitor Active in the Infectious Stage of the Human Liver Fluke .

Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) participate in the regulation of inflammation, blood coagulation, and complement activation in humans. This research aimed to identify and characterize such inhibitors of the human liver fluke . Parasite proteins that might contribute to the modulation of host physiology are of particular interest, especially as chronic opisthorchiasis increases the risk of developing biliary cancer.
