The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors gallstone disease (GSD) in an adult population Taiwan through a population-based screening study.A cross-sectional community rural village conducted 3333 Chinese adults (aged > or = 18 years) undergoing ultrasonography. A questionnaire on personal history completed ascertain whether removed gallbladder contained stones all cholecystectomized subjects, dietary habits (vegetarian/non-vegetarian diet), GSD participant's...
The prevalence and etiologies of elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) have geographic variations they are rarely reported in Taiwan. Through a population-based screening study, the ALT an adult population Taiwan were assessed.A cross-sectional community study rural village was conducted 3260 Chinese adults (age >or=18 years) undergoing ultrasonography (US), blood tests, interviews with structured questionnaire. diagnostic criteria non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) included alcohol...
Hemodialysis facilities are high-risk environments for the spread of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Eliminating HCV from all dialysis in a community may be achieved more effectively under collaborative care model.Quality improvement study multidisciplinary teams including nephrologists, gastroenterologists, and public health practitioners.All patients Changhua County, Taiwan were treated using an interdisciplinary model implemented within broader Changhua-Integrated Program to Stop Infection...
Abstract Background and Aim Gallstones stroke are common diseases worldwide. The relationship between gallstones has been documented in the literature. In this work, to characterize risk of among gallstone patients with without cholecystectomy, we investigated effects cholecystectomy a nationwide population‐based retrospective cohort study. Methods Data were obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. study comprised 155 356 divided into two groups: those...
The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is an important step in the progress liver fibrosis. Fibrosis can be impeded by HSC reversion to a quiescent state or clearance through apoptosis. To investigate apoptotic effects hsian-tsao (Mesona procumbens Hemsl) on human HSCs, expression levels cleaved caspase-3, p38, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) were assessed using Western blotting, caspase-3 activity was measured caspase-3/CPP32 colorimetric assay kit. Hsian-tsao extract (HTE)...
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this prospective study was to utilize contrast‐enhanced power Doppler sonography evaluate the enhancement characteristics ductal pancreatic adenocarcinomas and correlate them with tumor vascularity observed on digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Methods Twenty consecutive patients adenocarcinoma underwent DSA. Tumor assessed using unenhanced sonography. contrast agent Levovist administered intravenously by bolus injection a dose 2.5 g at concentration 350...
Sulpiride is a highly selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist and commonly used in psychiatric disorders, Tourette syndrome, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). However, sulpiride has been recognized as potential cause of drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) for long time. In this study, we aimed to focus on analysis sulpiride-induced (SIP) PUD GERD patients based nationwide population.Data were obtained from the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. The...
Endoscopic biliary stent placement is a well-established technique for various indications including drainage. However, it has been shown that approximately 5 % of plastic stents placed in the tract migrate proximally [1]. retrieval migrated technically challenging and occasionally unsuccessful. Several techniques retrieving have reported [2] [3]. We report novel using guidewire loop technique.
Some complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) including cardiovascular stress may be related to the use large-caliber endoscopes [1] [2]. Procedures with ultrathin endoscope have been shown better tolerated and require less sedation than conventional esophagogastroduodenoscopy [3]. Furthermore, transnasal ERCP utilizing an has cause [4]. using seems a promising alternative method, especially for those high risk events. However, therapeutic procedures, such as...
OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotomy (PTCSL) for the treatment of hepatolithiasis is particularly suited those patients who are poor surgical risks or refuse surgery and with previous biliary stones distributed in multiple segments. However, characterized by high rates failure recurrence. We examined long-term results 245 treated PTCSL. METHODS: This was a retrospective study underwent PTCSL hepatolithiasis; were followed 1–22 yr to evaluate immediate results....
It is rare for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to have gastrointestinal metastasis. We report on a 67-year-old man HCC who was first treated liver transplantation and then received transcatheter arterial embolization recurrence in the right hepatic lobe. He underwent whole-body FDG PET/CT imaging survey, FDG-avid lesion localized duodenum. Endoscopic examination revealed an ulcerative tumor portion of Histologic determined metastatic HCC.
A procedure for percutaneous transcystic cholangioscopy requiring only one transhepatic fistulous tract to remove stones located in both the gallbladder and bile ducts is described. The begins with drainage of or duct. Stones duct can be removed under direct vision on cholangioscopy. Larger fragmented by electrohydraulic lithotripsy before removal. In a preliminary trial proved feasible method treatment 13 patients as well septic cholangitis who either refused operation were considered poor...
Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed in 198 patients with symptoms related to the presence of common duct stones. The cleared stones using Dormia basket and or balloon extractor 180 (91%). These (age range from 24 93 years, average 59 years) were followed up 6 48 months (mean 22 months) after endoscopic sphincterotomy. Seventy seven cholecystectomized while 103 had intact gallbladder (32 gallstones, 71 without gallstones). Immediate complications associated EST occurred 9 (4.5%) (5...
Background : Gallstone disease (GD) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. However, it unknown whether GD contributes to atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed investigate the association between and AF. Methods performed population-based cohort study using data from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database 2001 2011. A 230,076 patients was compared control consisting an equal number matched for age, sex, gastrointestinal comorbidities. Results In total, 5,992...
Introduction: Benign biliary stricture is an usual complication of tract surgery or hepatolithiasis and frequently caused cholangitis attacks. treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography drainage (PTCD) had good transient effect but the recurrent rate high. Metallic stent used for controversial in past we got results according to 17 years experience using metallic stents patients. We report successful management benign strictures placement. Patients Methods: reviewed medical...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure for evaluation of the anatomy pancreas and biliary tract internal drainage tube insertion. The success rate nearly 100% with normal structure duodenum ampulla Vater. However it difficult in patient post subtotal gastrectomy Billroth Ⅱ anastomosis only about 70-80%. Now we describe history II anastomosis, who presented hepatic cystadenocarcinoma related obstructive jaundice cholangitis. He underwent ERCP examination failure...
