Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), can affect the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, substantially impacting the life quality of patients.
Objectives: To evaluate the quality of evidence and comprehensively assess the validity of associations of IBD with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases.
Design: We performed an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations.
Data Sources And Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to April 2024, to identify and appraise meta-analyses examining IBD and risk of hepatobiliary and pancreatic manifestations. Methodologic quality was assessed with A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR 2) and the strength of evidence was graded according to prespecified criteria.
Results: A total of 14 meta-analyses of observational studies were included. The strongest-validity evidence suggested the significant associations between IBD and risk of gallstones (odds ratio (OR) = 1.72; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.40-2.12) and acute pancreatitis (OR = 3.11; 95% CI = 2.93-3.30). Highly suggestive evidence indicated a significantly increased risk of hepatobiliary cancer in UC (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 2.05; 95% CI = 1.52-2.76) and CD (IRR = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.25-4.28). In addition, highly suggestive evidence indicated that IBD was associated with portal venous system thrombosis. Suggestive evidence showed a significantly higher prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis in IBD patients than in the general population.
Conclusion: The associations between IBD and multiple hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders showed varying levels of evidence and magnitude of risk. Further high-quality primary studies are needed to identify IBD patients who are more at risk and would benefit the most from screening and prevention programs.

Background: Sequential or combined treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) and pegylated interferon alpha-2b (Peg-IFN--2b) can improve the clinical cure rate. However, its clinical application is limited due to the adverse reactions associated with IFN.
Methods: A multi-center prospective observational study was conducted involving 59 NAs-treated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who were treated with a combination therapy of NAs and Peg-IFN--2b for 48 weeks.

Cholelithiasis is a common biliary system disease with a high incidence worldwide. Abnormal lipid metabolism has been shown to play a key role in the mechanism of gallstones. Therefore, recent research literature on the genes, proteins, and molecular substances involved in lipid metabolism during the pathogenesis of gallstones has been conducted.

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) can affect mortality, morbidity, and medical costs. Although it has recently been reported that washing with antiseptic/antibiotic solution can prevent SSI in clean surgery, the clinical impact in gastrointestinal surgery is still uncertain. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of antiseptic/antibiotic solution during wound irrigation or peritoneal lavage in gastroenterological surgery.

Background: CA19-9 is a classical tumor marker and plays an important role in the diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic cancer. However, a few cases reported that the tumor maker CA19-9 is abnormally elevated in patients with calculous cholecystitis, but the relation between severity of calculous cholecystitis and serum CA19-9 level are still unknown.
Methods: Total 105 calculous cholecystitis patients from first hospital were collected and divided into high serum CA19-9 group(high group, n = 35) and normal serum CA19-9 group(normal group, n = 70).

Rationale And Objectives: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the impact of postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on the prognosis of patients with macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM-HCC).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study used the clinical records of patients with resected MTM-HCC with/without adjuvant TACE at three centers between January 2015 and December 2022. The primary end point was recurrence free survival (RFS).
