Abstract

Insertion of biliary prosthesis permits palliative drainage; unfortunately, cholangitis and clotting induced a large amount of side effects. We set up an experimental model with a view to testing in vitro efficiency of available stents, then we designed a new prosthesis with improved mechanical performance.

Current and future applications of in vitro magnetic resonance spectroscopy in hepatobiliary disease.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows the study of cellular biochemistry and metabolism, both in the whole body in vivo and at higher magnetic field strengths in vitro. Since the technique is non-invasive and non-selective, magnetic resonance spectroscopy methodologies have been widely applied in biochemistry and medicine. In vitro magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies of cells, body fluids and tissues have been used in medical biochemistry to investigate pathophysiological processes and more recently, the technique has been used by physicians to determine disease abnormalities in vivo. This highlighted topic illustrates the potential of in vitro magnetic resonance spectroscopy in studying the hepatobiliary system. The role of in vitro proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the study of malignant and non-malignant liver disease and bile composition studies are discussed, particularly with reference to correlative in vivo whole-body magnetic resonance spectroscopy applications. In summary, magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques can provide non-invasive biochemical information on disease severity and pointers to underlying pathophysiological processes. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy holds potential promise as a screening tool for disease biomarkers, as well as assessing therapeutic response.

(-)-3,7-Dioxo-5beta-cholanic acid: dual hydrogen-bonding modes in a diketonic bile-acid derivative.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(24)H(36)O(4), contains three molecules, all differing in their side-chain conformations and all linked by hydrogen bonding confined entirely within a three-molecule block. One connection is of the acid-to-ketone type [O...O = 2.7055 (19) Angstrom and O-H...O = 180 degrees ] and the other involves carboxyl pairing [O...O = 2.6485 (18) and 2.6598 (18) Angstrom, and O-H...O = 168 and 174 degrees ]. Numerous intermolecular C-H...O close contacts connect neighbouring molecules.
