Published: July 2022

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard treatment of biliary disease with high success rates of greater than 90% in patients with standard anatomy. However, alterations in upper gastrointestinal anatomy can significantly complicate endoscopic biliary intervention. The past decade has seen significant advances in the endoscopic management of patients with altered anatomy. This review article will provide tips and tricks for successful biliary access in the most common surgical alterations with a focus on the management of biliary diseases following Roux-en-Y (RY) reconstructions.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) rapidly triggers proinflammatory activation of microglia, contributing to secondary brain damage post-TBI. Although the governing role of energy metabolism in shaping the inflammatory phenotype and function of immune cells has been increasingly recognized, the specific alterations in microglial bioenergetics post-TBI remain poorly understood. Itaconate, a metabolite produced by the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 [IRG1; encoded by immune responsive gene 1 ()], is a pivotal metabolic regulator in immune cells, particularly in macrophages.

Lung cancer exhibits altered metabolism, influencing its response to radiation. To investigate the metabolic regulation of radiation response, we conducted a comprehensive, metabolic-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen using radiation as selection pressure in human non-small cell lung cancer. Lipoylation emerged as a key metabolic target for radiosensitization, with lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) identified as a top hit.
