1. Tea polyphenols induce S phase arrest and apoptosis in gallbladder cancer cells
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common malignancy in the biliary tract. Without effective treatment, its prognosis is notoriously poor. Tea polyphenols (TPs) have many pharmacological and health benefits, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-thrombotic, antibacterial, and vasodilatory properties. However, the anti-cancer effect of

2. Contribution of echoguided drainage in the endoscopic palliation of malignant biliary obstruction / Contribuição da drenagem ecoguiada à paliação endoscópica da obstrução biliar maligna
Introdução: a maioria dos pacientes com neoplasia maligna da via biliar são diagnosticados em fase avançada. A drenagem biliar ecoguiada é uma alternativa às técnicas de drenagem percutânea trans-hepática e cirúrgicas na ocasião de falha do acesso convencional por colangiografia retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE). Objetivo: avaliar a eficácia e segu

3. The chronic gastrointestinal manifestations of Chagas disease
Chagas disease is an infectious disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The disease mainly affects the nervous system, digestive system and heart. The objective of this review is to revise the literature and summarize the main chronic gastrointestinal manifestations of Chagas disease. The chronic gastrointestinal manifestations of Chagas disease a

4. Detection of c-Ki-ras mutations in bile samples from patients with pancreatic and biliary cancers
Aim—To determine whether c-Ki-ras mutations can be detected in bile from patients with biliary strictures caused by pancreatic cancer and other biliary tumours, with a view to developing bile c-Ki-ras mutations as a non-invasive diagnostic marker of pancreatic cancer.

5. Biliary tract cancer and occupation in Sweden.
Using the Cancer-Environment Registry, which links the incidence of cancer (1961-79) and the 1960 census data on industry and occupation for all employed individuals in Sweden, the occurrence of biliary tract cancer (ICD 7th rev 155.1-.9) was systematically assessed according to occupational and industrial classifications. Data are presented separately for c

6. Biliary tract cancers in Cote-d'Or (France): incidence and natural history.
The registry of digestive tract tumours established for the department of Cote-d'Or (France) was used to study the epidemiological characteristics and the natural history of biliary tract cancers. Age standardised incidence rates for gallbladder cancers were 2.7/100,000 for women and 0.9/100,000 for men. The corresponding rates for extrahepatic bile duct can

7. Measurement of biliary alkaline phosphatase by mini-column chromatography and by electrophoresis and its application to the detection of liver metastases in patients with breast cancer.
We describe a simple, rapid, and reproducible ion exchange mini-column chromatographic method for the quantitative measurement of biliary alkaline phosphatase in plasma. We have used this method to evaluate a cellulose acetate electrophoretic method, which was used to assess the value of measuring biliary alkaline phosphatase in 85 patients with breast cance

8. Does a betaretrovirus infection trigger primary biliary cirrhosis?
Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis develop progressive ductopenia associated with the production of antimitochondrial antibodies that react with a protein aberrantly expressed on biliary epithelial cells and peri-hepatic lymph nodes. Although no specific microbe has been identified, it is thought that an infectious agent triggers this autoimmune liv

10. Cancer risks in painters: study based on the New Zealand Cancer Registry.
Painters are exposed to a range of complex chemical mixtures which include organic solvents and dye products with known carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. Trade painters or those manufacturing paints and coatings have increased rates of non-malignant diseases and cancers; including lung cancer, acute leukaemia, bladder cancer, and cancers of the oesophagu

11. Guidelines for the application of surgery and endoprostheses in the palliation of obstructive jaundice in advanced cancer of the pancreas.
OBJECTIVE: This study was set up to identify patient-related factors favoring the application of either surgery or endoprostheses in the palliation of obstructive jaundice in subsets of patients with cancer of the head of the pancreas or periampullary region. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: In the palliation of obstructive jaundice, surgical biliodigestive anastomo

12. Estrogen-induced gallstone formation in males. Relation to changes in serum and biliary lipids during hormonal treatment of prostatic carcinoma.
To assess if and by which mechanisms pharmacological estrogen treatment induces gallstone disease, we examined patients with recently diagnosed prostatic cancer randomly allocated to estrogen therapy (n = 37) or orchidectomy (n = 35). According to gallbladder ultrasonography, after 1 yr new gallstones had developed in 5 of 28 estrogen-treated patients, compa
