Can Regurgitation of Pancreatic Juice into the Biliary Tract be Detected by H MR Spectroscopy?

چکیده
INTRODUCTION: Regurgitation of pancreatic juice into the biliary tract and the subsequent mixing of pancreatic juice with bile is frequently observed in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), which is a potential risk factor for the carcinogenesis of bile duct and gallbladder [1]. The mixing of pancreatic juice with bile is generally detected by measuring the amylase activity in bile [2]. Recently, this phenomenon has also been observed in some patients without PBM [2]. In this study, we analyzed bile samples from patients with various cholestatic diseases to investigate if any of these patients show mixing of their bile with pancreatic juice.

The Frequency of Bacterial Agents in the Bile Juice of Patients with Bile Stones and Biliary Disorders
Abstract Background and objectives: Bile in healthy people is a sterile fluid and presence of any microorganism can be a marker for a disorder like cholelithiasis. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of bacterial agents in the bile of patients with bilestone, malignant pancreatic and biliary diseases. Material and Methods: One hundred and two bile samples were obtained, during ...
متن کاملPancreatic outflow obstruction as the critical event for human gall stone induced pancreatitis.
Opie suggested in 1901 that a common channel between the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct is created when a gall stone becomes impacted at the duodenal papilla. He proposed that bile would regurgitate into the pancreas and trigger pancreatitis. The case is reported of a 22 year old woman with an impacted stone at the duodenal papilla creating a common channel. The patient suffered from ...
متن کامل[A case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma associated with Type IV choledochal cyst].
Anomalous union of the pancreaticobiliary duct (AUPBD) is a congenital anomaly that is defined as a junction of the bile duct and pancreatic duct outside the duodenal wall. This anomaly results in a loss of normal sphincteric mechanisms at the pancreaticobiliary junction. As a result, regurgitation of pancreatic juice into the biliary system develops and causes choledochal cysts, choledocholith...

AIM To clarify the features of biliary carcinomas and pancreatic disorders associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM). METHOD A total of 107 PBM patients with biliary dilatation were reviewed (52 with and 55 without PBM). Clinicopathological findings of biliary carcinomas, and acute or chronic pancreatitis were examined in association with PBM. We also investigated pancreatographic ...
متن کاملThe various imaging aspects of chronic pancreatitis.
The first aspect of chronic pancreatitis (CP) is the early phase of relapsing pancreatitis (RP) in which episodes of mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) or severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) occur repeatedly over a period of time [1, 2]. In RP modifications occur mainly at the ductal structures. These can be functional (altered response to secretin administration, late discharge of pancreatic juices int...
