Role of immunologic costimulatory factors in the pathogenesis of biliary atresia.
BACKGROUND The authors studied the patterns of expression of immunologic costimulatory molecules (B7-1, B7-2, and CD40) in biliary atresia (BA) patients to confirm any correlation with clinical course/outcome. METHODS Based on clinical status 2 years postoperatively, 24 BA patients were divided into group I (n = 8, normal liver function), group II (n = 10, anicteric with moderate liver dysfun...
متن کاملImmunologic and Genetic Factors in Type
Under normal physiologic conditions, the entry of glucose into beta cells triggers the secretion of insulin (1) (Fig. 1). The released insulin is carried in the blood to peripheral tissues where it binds to insulin receptors, which are members of the receptor tyrosine kinase family. This initiates a cascade of transmembrane events resulting in the uptake of glucose by cells and its metabolism i...
متن کاملBiliary atresia
Biliary atresia (BA) is a cholangiodestructive disease affecting biliary tract, which ultimately leads to cirrhosis, liver failure and death if not treated. The incidence is higher in Asian countries than in Europe. Up to 10% of cases have other congenital anomalies, such as polysplenia, asplenia, situs inversus, absence of inferior vena cava and pre-duodenal portal vein, for which we have coin...
متن کاملThe Role of Appendix in the Management of Biliary Atresia Associated with Bowel Atresia
Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy. The cause(s) of biliary atresia remain unclear and many surgical options for bypassing the atretic segment have been described.1-3 Biliary atresia may be associated with small bowel atresia. The surgical interventions for biliary dr...
متن کاملBiliary atresia.
Biliary atresia is a neonatal obstructive cholangiopathy characterized by a fibrosclerosing obliteration of the extrahepatic bile duct that uniquely presents in the first months of life (1). The condition occurs in approximately 1 in 8,000 to 1 in 15,000 live births and accounts for 30% of all cases of cholestasis in young infants. Biliary atresia is the most frequent cause of chronic end-stage...
