Endoscopic biliary stenting is an established modality of managing benign and malignant obstructive disorders of biliary tract. Complications associated with biliary stents though uncommon are on the rise. We report a case of migrated biliary plastic stent presenting as gastro-inetstinal hemorrhage, which was managed successfully by endoscopic technique avoiding any major surgery.

Severe damage to the intrahepatic biliary duct (IHBD) network occurs in multiple human advanced cholangiopathies, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, biliary atresia and end-stage primary biliary cholangitis. Whether and how a severely damaged IHBD network could reconstruct has remained unclear. Here we show that, although the gallbladder is not directly connected to the IHBD, there is a common hepatic duct (CHD) in between, and severe damage to the IHBD network induces migration of gallbladder smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to coat the CHD in mouse and zebrafish models.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is regarded as a crucial proinflammatory cytokine that controls the migration and entry of macrophages. It has been demonstrated that chemokine ligand 2 and its receptor, Chemokine receptor 2, are both implicated in several liver disorders. In a similar context, immunity mediators are overexpressed and stimulated by MCP-1.

Tumor-infiltrating macrophages (Mϕs), known as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), play a crucial role in the tumor microenvironment. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed that intratumoral CD68-positive Mϕs are associated with poor prognosis and clinicopathological factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Subsequently, an indirect co-culture system involving HCC cells and peripheral blood-derived Mϕs was developed.

Artocarpus lakoocha agglutinin (ALA), which specifically targets the Gal/GalNAc components of complex glycans, was isolated from the seeds of Artocarpus lakoocha. This study is the first to explore the role of ALA in identifying aberrant glycans, designated ALA-binding glycans (ALAG), and its implications in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). ALA-histochemistry was used to evaluate ALAG expression in liver fluke-induced CCA tissues from hamsters (n = 60).
