Porcine bile powder (PBP) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries in various therapeutic applications. However, PBP has not previously undergone comprehensive component analysis and not been evaluated for safety through standard toxicological studies. In our study, we characterized the component of PBP by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The acute and subchronic oral toxicity, genotoxicity, and teratogenicity studies of PBP were designed and conducted in Kunming mice and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The chemical analysis of PBP showed that the main components of PBP were bile acids (BAs), especially glycochenodeoxycholic acid. There were no signs of toxicity observed in the acute oral test and the subchronic test. In the genotoxicity tests, no positive results were observed in the bacterial reverse mutation test. Additionally, in the mammalian micronucleus test and mouse spermatocyte chromosomal aberration test, no abnormal chromosomes were observed. In the teratogenicity test, no abnormal fetal development was observed. Our findings demonstrate that PBP, composed mainly of BAs, is non-toxic and safe based on the conditions tested in this study.

Background And Aim: Stent placement for biliary drainage in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) has been a topic of long-standing debate, and the best approach remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and removability of multi-hole fully covered self-expandable metal stents (MH-FCSEMSs) in a preclinical experiment using swine hilar bile duct obstruction (HBDO) models and to assess the feasibility and safety of stent placement in patients with MHBO.
Methods: Three minipigs underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-guided endobiliary-radio frequency ablation (EB-RFA) to establish Bismuth type II hilar bile duct stenosis models.

Unlabelled: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a globally prevalent zoonotic pathogen that is primarily spread through the fecal-oral route, such as by consuming undercooked or contaminated pork. HEV infection leads to an estimated 3.3 million symptomatic cases of viral hepatitis and 70,000 deaths in human populations each year.

As the extension of the egg-laying cycle, heightened energy and lipid metabolism cause excessive lipid accumulation, resulting in rapid decline in laying performance during the late laying period. Bile acids (BAs), synthesized from cholesterol in the liver, are potent metabolic and immune signaling molecules involved in lipid metabolism and the regulation of energy homeostasis. However, under different dietary protein levels, the role of BAs on hepatic lipid metabolism of laying hens at the late phase remains unclear.

Malignant biliary obstruction presents a significant therapeutic challenge and has serious consequences including cholangitis and death. Clinically, biliary stenting using self-expanding metallic- stent(SEMS) relieves this obstruction. However, stent occlusion occurs with time due to tumor/epithelial in-growth and bacterial colonization.

Bilio-biliary anastomosis (BBA) is a critical surgical procedure that is performed with the objective of restoring bile duct continuity. This procedure is often required in cases where there has been an injury to the extrahepatic bile ducts or during liver transplantation. Despite advances in surgical techniques, the healing of BBA remains a significant challenge, with complications such as stricture formation and leakage affecting patient outcomes.
