OBJECTIVE intrahepatic lithiasis (IHL) is an uncommon entity in our environment. When associated with Caroli s disease or stenosis of the biliary radicals it may be necessary to perform liver resection to provide definitive resolution. We present immediate and long term results in a Spanish series of patients with hepatic resection to treat hepatolithiasis. PATIENTS between January 1996 and D...

Islet responses of two different Mus geni, the laboratory mouse (Mus musculus) and a phylogenetically more ancient species (Mus caroli), were measured and compared with the responses of islets from rats (Rattus norvegicus). A minimal and flat second-phase response to 20 mM glucose was evoked from M. musculus islets, whereas a large rising second-phase response characterized rat islets. M. carol...

in this article , the authors introduce a case of caroli's disease (cd) according to the results of ultrasonography (u.s), abdominal computed tomography (ct scan) and hepatic biopsy that has been manifested in the neonatal period. in the routine examination of the neonate, abdominal protrusion was noticed. then milk intoterance, inability of meconium passage and vomiting developed, during ...

The RP2 gene is one of several genes that are regulated by androgens in the mouse kidney. Previous studies have demonstrated that androgen inducibility of RP2 transcription varies among species within the genus Mus, indicating extensive evolutionary modification of the participating regulatory elements. Thus, while a five-fold induction of transcription occurs in M. domesticus, none is detectab...

Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a potential complication of chronic liver disease and is more commonly seen in the adult population. Caroli Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by intrahepatic ductal dilation and liver fibrosis that leads to portal hypertension. In children with liver disease, HPS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of prolonged, otherwise unexpl...

Live chimeras between two species of mouse, Mus musculus and Mus caroli, were produced by blastocyst injection. These chimeras were entirely similar to M. musculus in equilibrium with M. musculus chimeras in their somatic tissue organization. This is the first report of completely normal development of interspecific chimeras in mammals.
