Oxidative balance scores and gallstone disease: mediating effects of oxidative stress.
Nutr J
January 2025
The Second School of Clinical Medicine, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, few studies have examined the combined effects of dietary and lifestyle factors on GSD. This study aims to investigate the relationship between oxidative balance score (OBS) and GSD, and explores the potential mediating role of oxidative stress.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 6,196 participants in the NHANES 2017-2020 were analyzed.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography combined with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for the removal of large gallbladder stones: a pilot study.

Department of Gastroenterology, Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Digestive Diseases, Jiangxi Clinical Research Center for Gastroenterology, Digestive Disease Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, No.17 Yongwaizheng Street, Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330006, China.
Background: Endoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (EGPC) has become an alternative option for treating cholecystolithiasis. However, developing a new method of EGPC in which the gallbladder wall is not damaged remains a challenge. This study introduced a new EGPC method called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which preserves the integrity of the gallbladder wall in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: The management of urinary tract stones, particularly kidney allograft stones, presents unique challenges for kidney transplant recipients because of their prevalence and specific clinical considerations. Here, we describe a case in which percutaneous nephrolithotomy was successfully used to fragment a large kidney allograft stone ≥20 mm in size.
Case Presentation: A 57-year-old woman who underwent ureteroureterostomy post simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation presented with gross hematuria after 15 years.

Korean J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Kangwon National University Hospital, Kangwon National University School of Medicine, Chuncheon, Korea.
Background/aims: Urgent endoscopic removal is required for gallstones impacted at the duodenal papilla. This study compared the clinical features of impacted papillary stones (IPS) with those of common bile duct stones without impaction.
Methods: This study analyzed a common bile duct stone database from 2017 to 2023, identifying patients with IPS.

Article Synopsis
- Gallstone disease significantly strains healthcare resources, particularly through emergency cholecystectomy, yet there's limited research on the risk factors that lead to such emergencies in patients scheduled for elective surgery.
- A study conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, analyzed 823 patients, revealing that 15.67% underwent emergency cholecystectomy, often due to longer waiting times and previous emergency department visits.
- Key findings indicated that patients with acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis, and those with multiple prior ED visits, are at a much higher risk of requiring emergency surgery.
