Abstract
Biopsy, including tissue and liquid biopsy, offers comprehensive and real-time physiological and pathological information for disease detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Fluorescent probes are frequently selected to obtain adequate information on pathological processes in a rapid and minimally invasive manner based on their advantages for biopsy. However, conventional fluorescent probes have been found to show aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) properties, impeding greater progresses in this area. Since the discovery of aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) have promoted rapid advancements in molecular bionanomaterials owing to their unique properties, including high quantum yield (QY) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), etc. This review seeks to present the latest advances in AIEgen-based biofluorescent probes for biopsy in real or artificial samples, and also the key properties of these AIE probes. This review is divided into: (i) tissue biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (ii) blood sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (iii) urine sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (iv) saliva sample biopsy based on smart AIEgens, (v) biopsy of other liquid samples based on smart AIEgens, and (vi) perspectives and conclusion. This review could provide additional guidance to motivate interest and bolster more innovative ideas for further exploring the applications of various smart AIEgens in precision medicine.

Abstract
Synthetic molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors used in combination with innovative assay protocols hold great potential for the development of robust, low-cost, and fast-responding sensors that are applicable in biofluids (urine, blood, and saliva). Particularly, the development of sensors for metabolites, neurotransmitters, drugs, and inorganic ions is highly desirable due to a lack of suitable biosensors. In addition, the monitoring and analysis of metabolic and signaling networks in cells and organisms by optical probes and chemosensors is becoming increasingly important in molecular biology and medicine. Thus, new perspectives for personalized diagnostics, theranostics, and biochemical/medical research will be unlocked when standing limitations of artificial binders and receptors are overcome. In this review, we survey synthetic sensing systems that have promising (future) application potential for the detection of small molecules, cations, and anions in aqueous media and biofluids. Special attention was given to sensing systems that provide a readily measurable optical signal through dynamic covalent chemistry, supramolecular host-guest interactions, or nanoparticles featuring plasmonic effects. This review shall also enable the reader to evaluate the current performance of molecular probes, chemosensors, and nanosensors in terms of sensitivity and selectivity with respect to practical requirement, and thereby inspiring new ideas for the development of further advanced systems.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the methods and outcome of gallbladder preservation in surgical treatment of primary bile duct stones.
METHODS: Thirty-five patients with primary bile duct stones and intact gallbladders received stone extraction by two operative approaches, 23 done through the intrahepatic duct stump (RBD-IDS, the RBD-IDS group) after partial hepatectomy and 12 through the hepatic parenchyma by retrograde puncture (RBD-RP, the RBD-RP group). The gallbladders were preserved and the common bile duct (CBD) incisions were primarily closed. The patients were examined postoperatively by direct cholangiography and followed up by ultrasonography once every six months.
RESULTS: In the RBD-IDS group, residual bile duct stones were found in three patients, which were cleared by a combination of fibrocholedochoscopic extraction and lithotripsy through the drainage tracts. The tubes were removed on postoperative day 22 (range: 16-42 days). In the RBD-RP group, one patient developed hemobilia and was cured by conservative therapy. The tubes were removed on postoperative day 8 (range: 7-11 days). Postoperative cholangiography showed that all the gallbladders were well opacified, contractile and smooth. During 54 (range: 6-120 months) months of follow-up, six patients had mildly thickened cholecystic walls without related symptoms and further changes, two underwent laparotomies because of adhesive intestinal obstruction and gastric cancer respectively, three died of cardiopulmonary diseases. No stones were found in all the preserved gallbladders.
CONCLUSION: The intact gallbladders preserved after surgical extraction of primary bile duct stones will not develop gallstones. Retrograde biliary drainage is an optimal approach for gallbladder preservation.

Abstract
Pigment gallstones have been reported to be closely associated with biliary tract infection. We previously reported that addition of unconjugated bilirubin (UCB), which is deconjugated by beta-glucuronidase in infected bile, could enhance cholesterol crystal formation in supersaturated model bile (MB). The present study evaluated the effect of beta-glucuronidase on the processes of pigment gallstone formation and cholesterol crystallization. Supersaturated MB (taurocholate/lecithin/cholesterol at 71:18:11, a total lipid concentration of 10.0 g/dl and a cholesterol saturation index (CSI) of 2.0) and native rat bile were mixed at a ratio of 3:1. Then, mixed bile was incubated with or without beta-glucuronidase and changes of the following parameters were investigated over time: (1) the UCB/total bilirubin ratio; (2) cholesterol crystal formation; (3) the precipitate weight and the cholesterol concentration in the precipitate and supernatant; and (4) the lipid distribution of vesicles in the supernatant. Compared with beta-glucuronidase-free bile, (1) beta-glucuronidase-containing bile showed a significant increase of the UCB/total bilirubin ratio, (2) as well as a significantly longer nucleation time (96+/-17.0 vs. 114+/-20.0) and fewer cholesterol crystals. (3) The precipitate weight and the cholesterol concentration in the precipitate were significantly increased, while the cholesterol concentration in supernatant was decreased. (4) When mixed bile was incubated with beta-glucuronidase, the cholesterol concentration in the vesicles was lower than in bile without beta-glucuronidase. The precipitate weight and the cholesterol concentration in the precipitate was increased by incubation with beta-glucuronidase, while cholesterol concentration was decreased in the supernatant (especially in the vesicles). This means that bile vesicles were more stable and it was more difficult for cholesterol crystals to form. Thus, the presence of beta-glucuronidase may inhibit the formation of pure cholesterol stones even in the presence of cholesterol supersaturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilirubin is the main component of most common bile duct stones. Normally, almost all bilirubin in bile is conjugated to glucuronic acid or some other sugar moiety. These conjugates are unstable and liable to deconjugation. Unconjugated bilirubin is insoluble and may precipitate as the calcium salt found in brown pigment stones. The pattern of bilirubin conjugates in common duct bile of patients with choledocholithiasis has been unknown. METHODS In a clinical series of 55 patients with choledocholithiasis common-duct bile was aspirated, and the bilirubin conjugates analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography. One stone from each patient was analyzed for cholesterol and bilirubin content to determine stone type. RESULTS Sixteen patients had cholesterol stones, 38 patients had brown pigment stones, and 1 patient had a black stone. Patients with pigment stones had a lower percentage of bilirubin diglucuronide (median, 60.3%; interquartile range, 49.7%-67.3%) than patients with cholesterol stones (64.0%; 60.2%-73.3%) (Mann-Whitney, P=0.015). No significant difference was found for the other bilirubin conjugates, total bilirubin, or biliary pH when pigment and cholesterol stone patients were compared. The time of bile sampling in relation to papillotomy and treatment of cholestasis was not associated with the low percentage of bilirubin diglucuronide. The observation of reduced values for bilirubin diglucuronide could not be ascribed to duodenal diverticula or Billroth-II gastric resection. CONCLUSION The percentage of the main bilirubinate conjugate, bilirubin diglucuronide, is decreased in the common duct bile of patients with pigmented compared with cholesterol stones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total parenteral nutrition is an etiologic factor in the formation of biliary sludge. We studied whether enteral nutrition is also a risk factor for sludge. METHODS Fifty patients with a needle catheter jejunostomy (NCJ) placed during a major abdominal operation underwent preoperative and weekly postoperative ultrasonography until NCJ feedings were discontinued (1 to 6 weeks). RESULTS All patients were men. The mean age was 63.2 +/- 1.6 years. Fourteen asymptomatic patients (28.0%) had biliary sludge within 2 weeks of beginning enteral feedings through a NCJ. Complete ultrasonographic resolution of sludge was observed in 13 of the 14 positive patients within 1 to 2 weeks of resuming an oral diet. One patient was lost to follow-up after 14 week; a positive sonogram had persisted but the patient remained asymptomatic. During the period of observation, no other patient had signs of biliary tract disease. CONCLUSIONS (1) Biliary sludge may form in some patients during enteral feeding with NCJ. (2) Sludge is cleared by the gallbladder once an oral diet is resumed. (3) There appears to be little risk of complications during postoperative enteral feeding.
