Lung and liver flukes

The immune response to Paragonimus westermani infection is marked by an up-regulation in the immune-compulsive response to Fasciola hepatica, and the immune defences of the immune system are disturbed.

Helicobacter bilis colonization of the biliary system in patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction

This study investigated the prevalence of H. bilis colonization of the biliary system of patients with pancreaticobiliary maljunction and found that it was high in patients with PBM.

Cholangiocarcinoma in USA‐ versus Asian‐born Asians: Is viral hepatitis a factor?

This study attempted to clarify the risk factor profile for immigrant Asians compared with the USA population, and found liver and biliary tract cancers are more common in Asian countries than in the USA.

Epidemiology and Pathogenesis of Cholangiocarcinoma

This chapter summarises the major reported epidemiological changes and describes the major known risk factors as well as the molecular pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma.

Endoscopic Evaluation and Management of Cholangiocarcinoma.

간흡충증(Clonorchis Sinensis Infestation)과 담도암(Cholangiocellular Carcinoma): Etiologic Relationship

ᆞHepatolithiasis ᆞOpisthorchis viverrini infestation, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and anomalous union of pancreaticobiliary junction.

Expression of stage-specific Fasciola proteases and their evaluation in vaccination trials

The liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica cause infectious disease in ruminants and humans and the geographical range of these two parasite species ensures that infection can occur worldwide.

Malignant Transformation Arising Within Unusual and Rare Hepatic Lesions: Fibropolycystic Disease Form of Ductal Plate Malformation and Biliary Adenofibroma

2 cases of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma arising within unusual and rare hepatic lesions, fibropolycystic liver disease form of ductal plate malformation and biliary adenofibroma, whose association with malignancy is rarely reported in the literature are described.

Biliary parasites: Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies

This article focuses on primary biliary parasites: Ascaris lumbricoides, Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini, Opistshorch is felineus, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, Fasciola hepatica, and Fasciolla gigantica.

The Role of Surgery in Treating Parasitic Diseases of the Digestive System from Trematodes

Management is predominantly with oral praziquantel, and surgical intervention is relevant in select infections, and changes to farming practices, population education, and cultural food production practices can reduce the incidence of this neglected tropical disease.

The role of infection by opisthorchis viverrini, hepatitis B virus, and aflatoxin exposure in the etiology of liver cancer in thailand. A correlation study

There was little geographic variation in incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma or in prevalence of the major risk factors (chronic carriage of hepatitis B virus and exposure to aflatoxin), and apparently there was little relationship between them.

Findings suggest that immunopathologic mechanisms may be important in the pathogenesis of liver fluke disease.

The results suggest that males may be at higher risk than females for cholangiocarcinoma, and regular users of betel nut had a high risk, a possible mechanism being through their increased exposure to nitro‐samines.
