Abstract
Subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air is forced under the tissue, causing swelling, crepitus on palpation, and the possibility of spreading along the fascial planes. Although subcutaneous emphysema secondary to dental procedures is rare, it can be a potentially fatal complication if not diagnosed and treated promptly and correctly. Dentists need to be able to differentiate subcutaneous emphysemas from more common disease processes that have similar clinical presentations. We report a 22-year-old male who underwent mandibular wisdom tooth extraction and subsequently developed extensive subcutaneous emphysema. The patient was quickly taken care of, in partnership with the maxillofacial department. The purpose of this report is to bring attention to the fact that obtaining an accurate diagnosis for this condition is very important and management on time can prevent serious complications.

Abstract
Abstract
The melt-quenching technique was used to prepare a series of chromium-doped borate glasses with the composition xCr2O3 - (70-x) B2O3- 30 Li2O- (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 mol %). The low-doping level here employed allowed to unambiguously identify well-defined near-edge Cr6+ optical transitions, and to precisely determine the optical band gap of the borate glass host. Additional Cr3+ transitions were observed in the visible regime, rendering a strong modulation of the glass color, from colorless to dark greenish, with Cr content. Both Cr6+(after the charge transfer transformation into Cr5+) and Cr3+oxidation states and their variations with Cr doping were identified from electron spin resonance spectroscopy. All samples exhibit similar vibrational spectra dominated by BO3 and BO4 structural units, with the development of weak Cr6+ vibration with Cr doping. The present study provides structurally similar but optically active and tunable glass hosts suitable for various optical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aims of this prospective population-based cohort study were to identify the patient and hospital characteristics associated with emergency cholecystectomy, and the influences of these in determining variations between hospitals.
Methods
Data were collected for consecutive patients undergoing cholecystectomy in acute UK and Irish hospitals between 1 March and 1 May 2014. Potential explanatory variables influencing the performance of emergency cholecystectomy were analysed by means of multilevel, multivariable logistic regression modelling using a two-level hierarchical structure with patients (level 1) nested within hospitals (level 2).
Results
Data were collected on 4744 cholecystectomies from 165 hospitals. Increasing age, lower ASA fitness grade, biliary colic, the need for further imaging (magnetic retrograde cholangiopancreatography), endoscopic interventions (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) and admission to a non-biliary centre significantly reduced the likelihood of an emergency cholecystectomy being performed. The multilevel model was used to calculate the probability of receiving an emergency cholecystectomy for a woman aged 40 years or over with an ASA grade of I or II and a BMI of at least 25·0 kg/m2, who presented with acute cholecystitis with an ultrasound scan showing a thick-walled gallbladder and a normal common bile duct. The mean predicted probability of receiving an emergency cholecystectomy was 0·52 (95 per cent c.i. 0·45 to 0·57). The predicted probabilities ranged from 0·02 to 0·95 across the 165 hospitals, demonstrating significant variation between hospitals.
Conclusion
Patients with similar characteristics presenting to different hospitals with acute gallbladder pathology do not receive comparable care.

Abstract
There is controversy concerning the merits and safety of elastic versus inelastic compression in the treatment of venous leg ulceration. Thirty legs were randomized to elastic, minimal stretch and non-elastic (Circaid®) bandages. Pressure profiles (repeated thrice) were measured with the Borgnis MST device on bandage application and at 4 h, in both the standing and lying positions. All bandages produced significant graduated compression in the leg ( P < 0.001), in the standing position, with no significant difference in gradient between the bandages ( P = 0.5). However, 4 h after application the bandages collectively exerted less pressure than on application, though gradients were maintained. Elastic bandages, at 4 h, recorded a mean 94% of the initial level compared to 70% for minimal stretch and 63% for non-elastic ( P < 0.001) in the standing position. In the lying position the decrease at 4 h was 72% for elastic, 59% for minimal stretch and 44% for non-elastic compression ( P < 0.001). Elastic bandages provided the most sustained compression, but with the smallest margin of safety (least reduction of pressure on lying).

Abstract
Neodymium doped Lead bismuth borate glasses with the composition of 25PbO-25Bi2O3-50B2O3:xNd2O3, where x=0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mol%, have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The behavior of the density and molar volume allows concluding that, addition of Nd2O3 leads to the formation of non-bridging oxygen. Rare earth ion parameters have been calculated and studied. The optical band gap (Eg), and band tails (Ee) were determined. Judd-Ofelt theory for the intensity analysis of induced electric dipole transitions has been applied to the measured oscillator strengths of the absorption bands to determine the three phenomenological intensity parameters Ω2, Ω4 and Ω6 for glass. It was observed that the deviation parameters, rms, was found to be 0.56:0.58(×10(-6)). The estimated Judd-Ofelt parameters were found to be Nd2O3concentration dependent. The hypersensitive transition, (4)I9/2→(4)G5/2+(2)G7/2, is closely related to Ω2 parameter.

Abstract
Three simple, accurate, reproducible, and selective methods have been developed and subsequently validated for the simultaneous determination of Moexipril (MOX) and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) in pharmaceutical dosage form. The first method is the new extended ratio subtraction method (EXRSM) coupled to ratio subtraction method (RSM) for determination of both drugs in commercial dosage form. The second and third methods are multivariate calibration which include Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLSs). A detailed validation of the methods was performed following the ICH guidelines and the standard curves were found to be linear in the range of 10-60 and 2-30 for MOX and HCTZ in EXRSM method, respectively, with well accepted mean correlation coefficient for each analyte. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy results were well within the acceptable limits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ultrasonography is a commonly used investigation in the UK for patients with right iliac fossa pain where the diagnosis of appendicitis is unclear. The published sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography is higher than the results observed by clinicians in every day practice. The aim of this study was to elucidate the real-world value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of appendicitis, and its impact on negative appendicectomy rates (NAR). METHODS A retrospective multicentre audit was conducted at three UK hospitals over a twelve month period in 2012. RESULTS 573 patients underwent ultrasonography prior to appendicectomy. The appendix was not visualised in 45% of scans. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography for the diagnosis of appendicitis was 51.8% and 81.4%. The mean NAR was 26.7%, or 18.3% after a positive ultrasound scan. CONCLUSION In clinical practice at UK centres, ultrasonography commonly does not visualise the appendix, and has a low sensitivity for appendicitis. To reduce the NAR, management options include a return to observation and serial examination, increased use of CT or a commitment to improving the performance of ultrasonography.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medical management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is important in patients for whom surgery is inappropriate. We aimed to describe clinical profiles of adults with PHPT receiving cinacalcet. DESIGN A descriptive, prospective, observational study in hospital and specialist care centres. METHODS For patients with PHPT, aged 23-92 years, starting cinacalcet treatment for the first time, information was collected on dosing pattern, biochemistry and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Initial cinacalcet dosage and subsequent dose changes were at the investigator's discretion. RESULTS Of 303 evaluable patients with PHPT, 134 (44%) had symptoms at diagnosis (mostly bone pain (58) or renal stones (50)). Mean albumin-corrected serum calcium (ACSC) at baseline was 11.4 mg/dl (2.9 mmol/l). The reasons for prescribing cinacalcet included: surgery deemed inappropriate (35%), patient declined surgery (28%) and surgery failed or contraindicated (22%). Mean cinacalcet dose was 43.9 mg/day (s.d., 15.8) at treatment start and 51.3 mg/day (31.8) at month 12; 219 (72%) patients completed 12 months treatment. The main reason for cinacalcet discontinuation was parathyroidectomy (40; 13%). At 3, 6 and 12 months from the start of treatment, 63, 69 and 71% of patients, respectively, had an ACSC of ≤10.3 mg/dl vs 9.9% at baseline. Reductions from baseline in ACSC of ≥1 mg/dl were seen in 56, 63 and 60% of patients respectively. ADRs were reported in 81 patients (27%), most commonly nausea. A total of 7.6% of patients discontinued cinacalcet due to ADRs. CONCLUSIONS Reductions in calcium levels of ≥1 mg/dl was observed in 60% of patients 12 months after initiation of cinacalcet, without notable safety concerns.

Abstract
Four simple, accurate, reproducible, and selective methods have been developed and subsequently validated for the determination of Benazepril (BENZ) alone and in combination with Amlodipine (AML) in pharmaceutical dosage form. The first method is pH induced difference spectrophotometry, where BENZ can be measured in presence of AML as it showed maximum absorption at 237nm and 241nm in 0.1N HCl and 0.1N NaOH, respectively, while AML has no wavelength shift in both solvents. The second method is the new Extended Ratio Subtraction Method (EXRSM) coupled to Ratio Subtraction Method (RSM) for determination of both drugs in commercial dosage form. The third and fourth methods are multivariate calibration which include Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLSs). A detailed validation of the methods was performed following the ICH guidelines and the standard curves were found to be linear in the range of 2-30μg/mL for BENZ in difference and extended ratio subtraction spectrophotometric method, and 5-30 for AML in EXRSM method, with well accepted mean correlation coefficient for each analyte. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy results were well within the acceptable limits.

Abstract
CONTEXT Parathyroid gland function is affected adversely by tissue hyperplasia and gland enlargement in hyperparathyroidism. OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of 2 treatment strategies on the progression of secondary hyperparathyroidism using measurements of the nonsuppressible component of calcium-regulated PTH secretion as an index of parathyroid mass. DESIGN, SUBJECTS, AND INTERVENTION In this randomized, open-label study, subjects managed with hemodialysis for >3 but <12 months before entering the trial (mean, 7.2 months) who had baseline plasma PTH levels >300 pg/mL received cinacalcet and low-dose vitamin D sterols (Cin-D, n = 153) or larger, varying doses of calcitriol, or other vitamin D analogs (Flex-D, n = 151). Study drug doses were adjusted periodically based on PTH and serum total calcium determinations. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The exploratory endpoint was calcium-regulated PTH release, assessed using a standardized PTH suppression test before and after 52 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks after withdrawing treatment. PTH and serum total calcium were measured before hemodialysis using high-calcium (3.5 mEq/L or 1.75 mmol/L) dialysate and after 150 and 180 minutes. RESULTS Mean (95% confidence interval) nonsuppressible calcium-regulated PTH release at baseline did not differ between Cin-D, 33.4% (25.9%, 40.9%), and Flex-D, 28.1% (23.2%, 32.9%). Corresponding values after 52 weeks of treatment were 34.3% (29.7%, 38.9%) and 42.0% (32.7%, 51.3%), not significant, and did not change measurably in either group when reevaluated 4 weeks after treatments were withdrawn. CONCLUSION Disease progression over 12 months was not documented using a PTH suppression test in this population. Calcium-mediated PTH suppression was maintained fully, however, in Cin-D despite reductions in serum total calcium concentration, whereas values did not increase in Flex-D despite substantial increases in serum calcium.

Abstract
To analyze the short term visual acuity and anatomic response after a single dose of off-label intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME) not responding to conventionallaser photocoagulation.
Patients arid Methods: Prospective analysis of consecutive case series of 45 eyes of 38 patients with refractory diffuse DME who had one intra-vitreal injection of 1.25 mg of bevacizumab (Avastin) and followed up for 3 months. All patients passed at least six months since their last laser treatment before inclusion in the study. Patients underwent best corrected visual acuity determination, intraocular pressure measurement, stereoscopic biomicroscopy of the macula and measurement of the retinal thickness by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at base line and follow up visits.
Results: At 1 month post-injection, visual acuity improved by 1 line in 7 eyes, unchanged from the preinjection levels in 24 eyes and deteriorated in 14 eyes. At 3 months post injection, visual acuity improved in 18 eyes, it remained unchanged in 13 eyes and deteriorated in 14 eyes. The mean logMAR visual acuities were 0.60 (SD ± 0.34), 0.64 (SD ± 0.31) and 0.61 (SD ± 0.32) at pre-injection, at 1 month post-injection and at 3 months post-injection respectively; but this mean decrease in vision was statistically not significant (P value = 0.099). The foveal thickness on optical coherence tomography had decreased in 27 eyes and it increased in 18 eyes at 1 month post-injection. At 3 months following injection, foveal thickness was reduced in 34 eyes, but was increased in 11 eyes. The mean foveal thicknesses were 444.95 u (SD ± 127.36), 394.95 u (SD ± 138.03) and 378.32 u (SD ± 11 2.01) at pre-injection, 1 month post-injection and 3 months post-injection respectively. This decrease in the foveal thickness was statistically significant (P value < 0.001).
Conclusions: Intravitreal bevacizumab is effective in patients with diffuse DME which is refractory to treatment with conventional macular laser photocoagulation. Key words: bevacizumab, intravitreal, diffuse diabetic macular edema

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy can save bed costs, its safety has to be established. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of day-case surgery compared with overnight stay in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS Randomized clinical trials addressing the above issue were identified from The Cochrane Library trials register, Medline, Embase, Science Citation Index Expanded and reference lists. Data were extracted from these trials by two independent reviewers. For each outcome the relative risk, weighted mean difference or standardized mean difference was calculated with 95 per cent confidence intervals based on available case analysis. RESULTS Five trials with 215 patients randomized to the day-case group and 214 to the overnight-stay group were included in the review. Four of the five trials were of low risk of bias. The trials recruited 49.1 per cent of patients presenting for cholecystectomy. There was no significant difference between day case and overnight stay with respect to morbidity, prolongation of hospital stay, readmission rates, pain, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and return to normal activity and work. In the day-case group 80.5 per cent of patients were discharged on the day of surgery. CONCLUSION Day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic gallstones.

OBJECTIVES To assess the safety and benefits of day-case surgery compared to overnight stay in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded until February 2007 for identifying randomised trials using search strategies. SELECTION CRITERIA Only randomised clinical trials, irrespective of language, blinding, or publication status, comparing day-case and overnight stay in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were considered for the review. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We collected the data on the characteristics of the trial, methodological quality of the trials, morbidity, prolonged hospitalisation, re-admissions, pain and quality of life from each trial. We analysed the data with both the fixed-effect and the random-effects models using RevMan Analysis. For each outcome we calculated the relative risk, weighted mean difference, or standardised mean difference with 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on available case-analysis. MAIN RESULTS Five trials with 429 patients randomised to the day-case group (215) and overnight stay group (214) were included in the review. Four of the five trials were of low risk of bias regarding randomisation and follow up, but all lacked blinding. The trials recruited 49% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. The selection criteria varied, but most included only patients without other diseases. The patients were living in easy reach of the hospital and with a responsible adult to take care of them. On the day of surgery, 81% of day-case patients were discharged. The drop-out rate after randomisation varied from 6.5% to 12.7%. There was no significant difference between day-case and overnight stay group as regards to morbidity, prolongation of hospital stay, re-admission rates, pain, quality of life, patient satisfaction and return to normal activity and work. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Day-case elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy seems to be a safe and effective intervention in selected patients (with no or minimal systemic disease and within easy reach of the hospital) with symptomatic gallstones. Because of the decreased hospital stay, it is likely to save costs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary reconstruction is the Achilles heel of liver transplantation. Side-to-side anastomosis of donor and recipient bile duct has been claimed to be superior to end-to-end anastomosis in uncontrolled studies. METHODS A total of 100 consecutive patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were randomized after commencement of the transplant procedure to end-to-end or side-to-side anastomosis. No T tube drainage was employed. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was performed 2 weeks after transplantation and findings were reported by an experienced endoscopist as normal, leak or stricture. Median follow-up was 53 (range 35-63) months. RESULTS Patient age, sex, the graft preservation time and indication for transplantation were similar in both groups. Sixty patients received end-to-end and 40 side-to-side anastomosis. Ten patients randomized to side-to-side anastomosis had an end-to-end procedure. The total number of biliary complications was similar in both groups (end-to-end 32 per cent versus side-to-side 30 per cent) as were the number of leaks (17 versus 18 per cent) and biliary strictures (15 versus 12 per cent). There was no difference in the number of biliary complications that required interventional treatment (22 per cent in both groups). CONCLUSION Side-to-side and end-to-end biliary anastomosis at liver transplantation are equally effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary complications are a significant cause of morbidity and death after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). This study was a prospective evaluation of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS), using 99mTc Mebrofenin, to detect early biliary complications following OLT. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients who had OLT with a biliary duct-to-duct anastomosis were studied. Of these, 67 had both ERC and HBS performed within 30 days of OLT. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of HBS in identifying biliary leak or stricture was calculated. RESULTS Of the 67 cholangiographies performed 45 were normal. In 22 patients there was radiological evidence of a leak (n = 14) or stricture (n = 8) which required further intervention in nine and four patients respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of scintigraphy for the detection of biliary leak after transplantation was 50 and 79 per cent and for biliary stricture 62 and 64 per cent respectively. No patient with normal scintigraphy required biliary intervention. Only six of 14 patients with biliary leaks and two of 20 with strictures suggested by scintigraphy required intervention. If both ERC and HBS reported leak or stricture, the intervention rate was considerably higher at five of seven leaks and two of five strictures. CONCLUSION This study suggests that scintigraphy is a useful screening test for biliary complications after OLT, ERC is only necessary if HBS is abnormal.

Abstract
The biliary complications in patients undergoing biliary reconstruction by duct-to-duct (D-D) anastomosis or with a Roux-en-Y loop (RL) at the time of liver transplantation for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC, 16 D-D, 10RL) or primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC, 31 D-D, 1 RL) were reviewed and compared. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 32 months. Extrahepatic biliary strictures occurred in 18.7%, 10% and 9.7% of DD-PSC, RL-PSC and DD-PBC patients, respectively, leaks in 6.2%, 20% and 6.4% DD-PSC, RL-PSC and DD-PBC patients, respectively (P = NS). Four intrahepatic biliary abnormalities developed in the PSC group. Duct-to-duct anastomosis did not significantly increase the risk of stricture formation or bile leaks in PSC patients compared to PBC patients. We conclude that duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction following liver transplantation for PSC is satisfactory unless the distal common bile duct is strictured.

Abstract
After trauma or sepsis, the liver undergoes a reprioritization of export protein synthesis with elevated production of some acute-phase reactants and reduced production of others. We have examined the effects of combinations of insulin and the counterregulatory hormones (dexamethasone, glucagon, and epinephrine), in the presence or absence of interleukin (IL)-6, on the production by isolated hepatocytes of the positive acute-phase proteins C-reactive protein, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, and haptoglobin, and the negative acute-phase proteins prealbumin and transferrin. The effect of IL-6 on the production of the above proteins was influenced significantly by insulin and all of the counterregulatory hormones. Significant three-way interactions as well as higher order interactions between the stress hormones and insulin were seen in the case of C-reactive protein. The results indicate that both positive and negative acute-phase proteins respond differently to insulin and the counterregulatory hormones and that the potential exists for the regulation of synthesis of individual acute-phase reactants by interaction between the cytokine network and the classical endocrine hormones.

Abstract
These studies investigate the role of transforming growth factor-beta 1, a potent inhibitor of epithelial cell proliferation and stimulator of extracellular matrix biosynthesis, during intrahepatic bile duct hyperplasia and biliary fibrosis. These pathogenic responses were induced in rats by common bile duct ligation. Bile duct cell replication, measured by the bromodeoxyuridine labeling index, was significantly increased 24 hr after common bile duct ligation. This response diminished to baseline by 1 wk. Liver collagen content, determined by quantification of hydroxyproline, was increased significantly after 1 wk of common bile duct ligation, and by 4 wk was increased by a factor of 4. Immunohistochemistry revealed low levels of TGF-beta 1 in normal intrahepatic bile duct epithelium. In contrast, the bile duct epithelium in bile duct-ligated rats stained strongly positive for transforming growth factor-beta 1 at 1 and 4 wk after ligation. These results suggest that transforming growth factor-beta 1 may play a role in both the termination of the bile duct epithelial cell proliferative response and the induction of fibrogenesis after common bile duct ligation. In addition, the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor was up-regulated in hyperplastic bile duct epithelium 1 and 4 wk after ligation. Because the mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor-II receptor has been shown to facilitate the proteolytic activation of transforming growth factor-beta 1, these results suggest that the bile duct epithelium may also be involved in the activation of transforming growth factor-beta 1.

Abstract
The effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the migrating motor complex (MMC) was examined in five starved dogs. Myoelectric activity was recorded using gastric, duodenal, and jejunal electrodes. Intragastric pressure was monitored via a gastric fistula, and ICV injections were given through a cerebroventricular guide. Recordings were made with no ICV injection and before and after 250-microliters bolus injections of vehicle as control (0.1% dog serum albumin in saline) or 500 pmol/kg NPY. The mean interval between MMCs was 98 +/- 10 min without ICV injection and 96 +/- 7 min after control solution. After ICV injection of NPY no further MMCs were recorded in any dog, even though the study was continued for a minimum of 3.5 h. Instead, the myoelectric pattern became indistinguishable from that in fed dogs. We conclude that central NPY plays a role in modulation of upper gastrointestinal myoelectric activity. This may reflect a central regulatory role for NPY in the coordination of feeding.

Abstract
Intraluminal ultrasonography of the common duct was performed in nine patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, using a system comprising a 20-MHz crystal in a 95-cm, blunt-tipped 6F sheath, mechanically rotated at 1,800 rpm. The probe was introduced through an incision in the cystic duct and passed into the duodenum. When the catheter was withdrawn, excellent visualization of the common and cystic ducts and lower end of the common hepatic duct was achieved. In seven patients, the biliary tree was normal. A small calculus was discovered in the common duct in one patient. This stone was not seen on a subsequent cholangiogram and was subsequently retrieved. An additional patient had mucus or sludge noted in the duct, which cast no acoustic shadow and thus was distinguished from calculi. The technique was fast, efficient, and easy to perform in this small group of patients and holds promise for screening the common duct pathology during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
The effect of the long-acting somatostatin analog octreotide on liver regeneration was studied in rats in vitro and in vivo. The effect of continuous subcutaneous octreotide infusion on regenerative liver weight and relative DNA synthesis was examined in rats that had undergone 70% hepatectomy. Administration of octreotide resulted in a 33% reduction of regenerating liver weight at 72 hours and a 67% reduction of regenerative hepatocellular hyperplasia at 24 hours. This effect was reversed within 12 hours after withdrawal of the drug. The mechanism for the inhibitory effect of octreotide appears to be indirect, because experiments in hepatocyte cultures did not demonstrate a direct inhibitory effect on serum-free or epidermal growth factor-induced regenerative hepatocyte proliferation. Because insulin levels were suppressed by octreotide in the in vivo experiments, suppression of hepatotrophs may be the mechanism by which octreotide inhibits liver regeneration.

Abstract
Secretin is thought to cause choleresis by acting on a receptor expressed by bile duct epithelial cells. In this study, the receptor was characterized using a new preparation of intrahepatic bile duct plasma membranes. Hyperplastic biliary trees were obtained from 3-week bile duct-ligated rats. The biliary trees were homogenized, filtered, and subjected to an aqueous two-phase partition technique to yield highly purified plasma membranes (confirmed by a 14-fold enrichment in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity and a 10-fold enrichment in 125I-secretin binding). 125I-secretin bound saturably with high affinity and in a dose-dependent fashion (Kd = 1.3 +/- 0.1 nM, Bmax = 273 +/- 23 fmole/mg) to purified plasma membranes. The binding characteristics of secretin were most consistent with a single site receptor model. Competitive binding studies indicated that the secretin-related peptides glucagon, peptide histidine isoleucine, gastric inhibitory peptide, and growth hormone releasing factor did not inhibit binding. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (1 microM) reduced maximal binding by 19 +/- 1%. The GTP analogs guanylylimidodiphosphate and guanosine 5'-O-[3-thiotriphosphate] (1 microM) inhibited binding by 16 +/- 2 and 13 +/- 1%, respectively. In conclusion, secretin binds to a specific, high-affinity receptor in intrahepatic bile duct epithelium that is coupled to a G-protein-linked signal transduction system.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The effect of intracerebroventricular injection of neuropeptide Y on biliary secretion was studied in conscious dogs, prepared with gastric and duodenal fistulas and cerebroventricular guides. Bile secretion was increased in a dose-dependent fashion by intracerebroventricular neuropeptide Y. The peak increase was seen after 500 pM/kg of neuropeptide Y which resulted in a 30 x 2% increase in bile flow over the period 30-150 minutes after injection. ( CONTROL 23 x 2 (1 x 2) ml/2 hours; neuropeptide Y 500 pM/kg: 30 x 5 (1 x 1) ml/2 hours). Biliary lipid composition was not altered significantly but bicarbonate output was increased at all doses tested. Intravenous infusion of neuropeptide Y (1000 pM) for 1 hour had no significant effect. Intracerebroventricular neuropeptide Y (1000 pM/250-300 mg body weight) also increased bile flow in urethane-anaesthetised rats. This effect was abolished by cervical vagotomy. The demonstration of a central stimulation of alkaline bile flow suggests that bile secretion may be subject to central modulation.

Abstract
Effects of liver denervation on bile formation were studied in eight dogs prepared with chronic biliary fistulas. The animals were studied in the basal state, after feeding, and during infusion of glucagon 50 ng/kg/min, secretin 2 U/kg/hr, or somatostatin 200 ng/kg/min. After this first set of experiments the animals underwent a total hepatic denervation that consisted of section of the hepatic ligaments and a careful dissection of the portal vein, hepatic artery, and common duct with stripping of all the surrounding connective tissue and topical application of phenol. The above experiments were then repeated. Denervation did not modify bile flow, or bile salts, cholesterol, or phospholipid concentration or output. Biliary response to glucagon and secretin was similar before and after denervation. Somatostatin had an anticholerectic effect in both intact and denervated animals, but significantly reduced bile salt output only in the intact dogs. Feeding had a choleretic effect pre- and postdenervation, and the infusion of somatostatin following feeding decreased bile flow to the same degree before and after denervation. In the intact animals the output of all three biliary lipids was reduced by somatostatin after feeding but they were unaffected by somatostatin after denervation. Moreover, cholesterol and phospholipid outputs were stable after feeding in intact animals, but significantly decreased after denervation. 14C-erythritol clearance studies indicated no change in the canalicular component of bile flow with denervation, except again during somatostatin suppression of feeding. These data indicate that basal bile flow is normal after denervation but that innervation may play an important role in the modulation of responses to somatostatin and more complex stimuli such as feeding.

Abstract
The goal of the present studies was to identify and characterize the site of secretin action in the liver. Sections of normal and bile duct-ligated rat livers were used for in vitro 125I-secretin receptor autoradiography. Saturable binding was observed in both normal and bile duct-ligated livers but was much greater in the bile duct-ligated preparations. Binding was limited to biliary epithelium and the increased secretin binding observed in the ligated livers correlated with the increase in ductular tissue. Saturable binding was inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion by increasing concentrations of nonradioactive secretin. Analysis of saturation binding showed that 125I-secretin binding was best fit by a one-site receptor model with a Kd of 5.3 +/- 1.1 nmol/L. Glucagon, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, gastric inhibitory polypeptide, growth hormone-releasing hormone, and cholecystokinin did not inhibit saturable 125I-secretin binding at concentrations of 1 pmol/L to 1 mumol/L. The authors conclude that high-affinity, specific secretin binding sites are present in rat intrahepatic biliary epithelium. When bile ducts are stimulated to proliferate by bile duct ligation, secretin binding is also increased.
