Co-stimulatory factors B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) and their ligands, including CD28, are important for the efficient presentation and persistence of an antigen-specific immune reaction. Hitherto, there has been a paucity of data on the roles of such co-stimulatory factors in immune-mediated biliary
The reason why 10% to 20% of all patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) develop cholangiocarcinoma (CC) remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and biochemical presentation in PSC patients with and without hepatobiliary malignancy and to look for risk factors f
Hepatolithiasis and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are intractable chronic biliary diseases. In hepatolithiasis, bilirubin-calcium stones are packed in multiple irregularly dilated intrahepatic bile ducts. In PSC, small bilirubin-calcium stones develop terminally. The progressive periductal fi
