Multi-modality imaging-monitored creation of rat orthotopic pancreatic head cancer with obstructive jaundice

Multi-modality imaging-monitored creation of rat orthotopic pancreatic head cancer with obstructive jaundice

PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of using multi-modality imaging to monitor the creation of rat models with orthotopic pancreatic head cancer with obstructive jaundice. RESULTS 27 of 52 rats (51.92%) developed pancreatic head cancer. The tumor formation rate was significantly higher in the animal group receiving bioluminescent tumor, compared to the group receiving non-bioluminescent do...

Pancreatic hypersecretion in dogs with obstructive jaundice.

We examined the hypersecretory function of the isolated, blood-perfused pancreas of dogs with experimentally obstructive jaundice. There was no difference in basal pancreatic secretion between control dogs and obstructively jaundiced dogs. Secretin- or pancreozymin-stimulated increase in total values for pancreatic juice flow, bicarbonate, protein and amylase were greater in dogs with obstructi...

EUS-guided transduodenal biliary drainage in unresectable pancreatic cancer with obstructive jaundice.

CONTEXT Endoscopic transpapillary biliary drainage is the procedure of choice for biliary decompression in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. When ERCP is unsuccessful, the usual alternative is percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Recently, the use of EUS-guided biliary drainage has been reported, but it is not clear whether it is feasible for this technique to find more wides...

A simple rat model of in situ reversible obstructive jaundice in situ reversible obstructive jaundice model

PURPOSE To develop a simple and reliable rat model of in situ reversible obstructive jaundice with low morbidity and mortality rates. METHODS Rats were divided into 4 groups with 8 rats each: the sham-operated (SH) group only underwent laparotomy, the control internal drainage (ID-C) group underwent choledochoduodenostomy, the new internal drainage (ID-N) group and the long-term internal drai...
