Hepatobiliary Diseases

Serum succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide hydrolysing activity was elevated in patients with hepatobiliary diseases. The highest activities were seen in acute cholangitis and intrahepatic cholestasis. The change in succinyltrialanine p-nitroanilide hydrolysing activity was closely associated with those in γ-glutamyltranspeptidase and alkaline phosphatase activities. In some cases, however, the former was more sensitive than the latter.

Bile Duct Stenting

Traditionally, the biliary tract has been considered to be normally sterile, and the presence of microorganisms in bile is a marker of a pathological process. This assumption was confirmed by failure in allocation of bacterial strains from the normal bile duct. The paper provides rationale for a phenomenon of the normal biliary microbiota as a separate functional layer which protects a biliary tract from colonization by exogenous microorganisms. We revealed the potential of metagenomic data for prevention of infectious diseases, post-operative complications of reconstructive interventions including bile duct stenting and implantation the tissue-engineered structures exposed to the risks of colonization with pathogenic / exogenous microorganisms. The methods based on preserving homeostasis of normal biliary microbiota ecosystem can be used for prevention of hepatobiliary diseases and treatment of biliary tract inflammatory diseases.

Hepatobiliary Diseases

Objectives: To assess common presenting features and the role of Ultrasound in evaluation of Hepatobiliary diseases in ourpopulation. Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Khyber X rays, Khyber Medical Centre, Peshawar. Period: August 2010 to December2010. Material and Methods: Data from patients presenting for evaluation of Hepatobiliary diseases was analyzed for presenting complaintsand ultrasound findings according to objectives of the study. Results: In total 197 cases were included in the study. The age wise categorizationincluded pediatric population (6.1%) adult population (87.3%) and geriatric population (6.6%). Upper abdominal pain was the most commonpresenting feature in all age groups as well as in both genders. Cholelithiasis with or without cholecystitis was the most common ultrasoundfinding in all age groups. No statistically significant difference was found between presenting features or ultrasound findings in different agegroups as well as across gender. Conclusions: Hepatobiliary diseases are among major illnesses in our region. Ultrasound is a sensitive anduseful tool for screening and evaluation of Hepatobiliary disorders.

Bile Samples

There are ambiguous results about the involvement of Helicobacter species in production of hepatobiliary diseases. This study was aimed to investigate any possible association between the presences of Helicobacter spp., their genotypes and occurrence of different biliary diseases. Cultures of 102 bile samples for Helicobacter spp. did not show any growth, but the presence of Helicobacter genus specific DNA (16s rRNA gene) was detected in 3.92% of them. No significant association was found between development of the diseases and presence of the bacteria. All the Helicobacter genus positive samples belonged to H. pylori species and showed vacA+ (s1/m2), cagA- genotypes.
