The mechanism of damage of the biliary epithelium remains partially unexplored. However, recently many works have offered new evidence regarding the cholangiocytes' damage process, which is the main target in a broad spectrum of pathologies ranging from acute cholestasis, cholangiopathies to cholangiocarcinoma. This is encouraging since some works addressed this epithelium's relevance in health and disease until a few years ago. The biliary tree in the liver, comprised of cholangiocytes, is a pipeline for bile flow and regulates key hepatic processes such as proliferation, regeneration, immune response, and signaling. This review aimed to compile the most recent advances on the mechanisms of cholangiocellular damage during cholestasis, which, although it is present in many cholangiopathies, is not necessarily a common or conserved process in all of them, having a relevant role cAMP and PKA during obstructive cholestasis, as well as Ca-dependent PKC in functional cholestasis. Cholangiocellular damage could vary according to the type of cholestasis, the aggressor, or the bile ducts' location where it develops and what kind of damage can favor cholangiocellular carcinoma development.

Minimally invasive liver resection for cholangiolocellular carcinoma: A single-institution experience.
Asian J Endosc Surg

Department of Surgery, Kansai Rosai Hospital, Amagasaki, Hyogo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CoCC) is often misdiagnosed due to its similarities with cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCC), making preoperative identification challenging.
- A study of 15 CoCC patients treated with either laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) or open liver resection (OLR) showed varying outcomes, with a significant number achieving good 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates.
- The study suggests that minimally invasive liver resection is a safe and effective treatment option for CoCC, but further research is required to validate these findings.

Background: Liver is a vital organ responsible for metabolizing and detoxifying both endogenous and exogenous substances in the body. However, it is susceptible to damage from chemical and natural toxins. The high incidence and mortality rates of liver disease and its associated complications impose a significant economic burden and survival pressure on patients and their families.

Introduction: Wernicke's encephalopathy, a disorder caused by thiamin deficiency, is characterized by a classical triad of encephalopathy, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. Although alcoholism is the most common predisposing factor, it can also be associated with nonalcoholic states (hyperemesis gravidarum, intestinal obstruction, bariatric surgery, and others). This work presents a case of nonalcoholic Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome diagnosed in a cholangiocellular carcinoma patient and literature review.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the field of liver machine perfusion. Many large transplant centers have implemented machine perfusion strategies in their clinical routine. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is primarily used to determine the quality of extended criteria donor (ECD) organs and for logistical reasons.

Cholangiolocellular carcinoma(CoCC)was first reported by Steiner et al in 1959. CoCC resembles cholangiocellular carcinoma( CCC)grossly and presents a variety of imaging findings, which often makes preoperative diagnosis difficult. In Japan, CoCC is rare, accounting for only 0.
