Cellular turnover and expression of hypoxic-inducible factor in acute acalculous and calculous cholecystitis
INTRODUCTION Epithelial corrective and destructive mechanisms have not been studied in inflammatory gallbladder disease. METHODS Epithelial apoptosis, cell proliferation and expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha were compared in gallbladders from patients with acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC; n = 30) and acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC; n = 21), and from patients undergoi...

Infection of bile is relatively unimportant since bile and gallbladder wall cultures are sterile in many patients with acute cholecystitis.

متن کاملAcute acalculous perforated cholecystitis.
A case of acute acalculous perforated cholecystitis with acute generalized peritonitis in a middle aged cachectic man, presenting late in a moribund condition, is reported. He underwent emergency laparotomy (subtotal cholecystectomy), went into multi-organ failure and was managed accordingly. The patient recovered in about 2 weeks and was followed-up regularly.
متن کاملBrucellosis Associated with Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis
Brucellosis is a rare cause of acute acalculous cholecystitis. We report a 45-year-old, previously healthy, man with brucellosis who presented with abdominal pain due to cholecystitis.
