“…The association between tooth loss and periodontal disease and upper gastrointestinal cancers, including cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, esophagus and stomach, has been assessed in a number of studies. This increase in risk with tooth loss suggests that certain oral bacteria could play a role in this subtype of cancer through similar inflammatory mechanisms (Kim et al ., ; Reinsch et al ., ; Xue et al ., ).

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a bacterial species that causes destruction of periodontal tissues. Additionally, previous evidence indicates that GroEL from P. gingivalis may possess biological activities involved in systemic inflammation, especially inflammation involved in the progression of periodontal diseases. The literature has established a relationship between periodontal disease and cancer. However, it is unclear whether P. gingivalis GroEL enhances tumor growth. Here, we investigated the effects of P. gingivalis GroEL on neovasculogenesis in C26 carcinoma cell-carrying BALB/c mice and chick eggs in vivo as well as its effect on human endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in vitro. We found that GroEL treatment accelerated tumor growth (tumor volume and weight) and increased the mortality rate in C26 cell-carrying BALB/c mice. GroEL promoted neovasculogenesis in chicken embryonic allantois and increased the circulating EPC level in BALB/c mice. Furthermore, GroEL effectively stimulated EPC migration and tube formation and increased E-selectin expression, which is mediated by eNOS production and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Additionally, GroEL may enhance resistance against paclitaxel-induced cell cytotoxicity and senescence in EPC. In conclusion, P. gingivalis GroEL may act as a potent virulence factor, contributing to the neovasculogenesis of tumor cells and resulting in accelerated tumor growth.

“…The most commonly reported are types III or IV with one duct opening into the major duodenal papilla and a second duct (often referred to as accessory bile duct or accessory common bile duct) opening into the stomach, duodenum, or pancreatic duct (Lee et al 2007). The least common is type V with only one case each of type Va (Choi et al 2007) and Vb (Kim et al 2008) having been reported previously. CBD in these cases has been defined as the duct that directly drains into the gastrointestinal tract irrespective of its proximal anatomy (Choi et al 2007).…”

“…Precise preoperative recognition is crucial. ERCP (Djuranovic et al 2007), MRCP (Choi et al 2007;Lee et al 2007), and multidetector row computed tomography (Kim et al 2008) may be helpful in making a correct diagnosis. If the condition is detected preoperatively, careful dissection combined with intraoperative cholangiography can avoid misidentification of the anatomy and inadvertent biliary injury during surgery in this area, especially during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.…”

Duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct

Congenital Anomalies

Duplication of the extrahepatic bile duct is an extremely rare anomaly. There are five types of this anomaly, with type V being the least common variant. Only two cases of type V (one each of type Va and type Vb) have been reported. Here we report the second case of type Va duplication of the common bile duct presenting with choledocholithiasis. The patient underwent open choledocholithotomy and T-tube choledochostomy after failed endoscopic stone clearance. Duplication of the bile duct was detected on T-tube cholangiogram, which was confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP). No associated pancreaticobiliary maljunction was found on the imaging.

Double common bile duct with choledochal cyst and cholelithiasis: report of a case

et al. 2013

Double common bile duct (DCBD) is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system, often associated with biliary lithiasis, choledochal cyst, pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM), and upper gastrointestinal tract malignancies. We report a case of type I DCBD with choledochal cyst and cholelithiasis in a 52-year-old Chinese man. We also reviewed 24 cases of DCBD reported in the Chinese literature between 1965 and 2012. Most (58.3%) of these cases were classified as type I DCBD, with accompanying choledocholithiasis in 79.2%, cholecystolithiasis in 37.5%, choledochal cyst in 33.3%, and PBM in 8.3%. There was no case of concomitant cancer. The type and coexistence of PBM with DCBD are clinically important because of its close implications with concomitant pathology. Most Chinese people with DCBD have type I. Moreover, the high incidences of choledochal cyst and biliary lithiasis and the extremely low incidences of PBM and biliary cancer are the major clinical characteristics of DCBD in China.
