AIM: To investigate the prevalence of gallstones and associated factors in female population of Novosibirsk (Western Siberia). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A representative sample of 870 women aged 25-64 years was drawn from general population according to WHO "MONICA" protocol. The subjects were screened for the presence of gallstones by gallbladder ultrasonography, completed a questionnaire relating to food and alcohol consumption, smoking, gastrointestinal symptoms and obstetric history. They also underwent physical examination and blood chemistry tests. Age-adjusted prevalence of cholelithiasis was 9.5%. Increasing age, obesity, diabetes mellitus, consumption of animal fat, pregnancies and opisthorchiasis positively correlated with gallstones in univariate analysis. Serum lipids, family history of gallstones, consumption of alcohol and tobacco were not predictors of gallstones. Only association with age and obesity was significant in multivariate analysis. Among subjects with cholelithiasis 52.1% were not aware of having gallstones. Subjects with gallstones more frequently suffered from biliary colics and non-specific dyspeptic symptoms. However, their predictive value was poor. Cholecystectomized patients revealed more often upper abdominal pain and dyspeptic symptoms. CONCLUSION: Prevalence and risk factors for gallstones in female population of Novosibirsk are similar to those reported in Western European countries. Cholecystectomy is not recommended in patients with symptomless disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Little is known about gallbladder motility in patients with black pigment stones when compared to cholesterol gallstone patients, or about their relationship to biliary composition, crystallization and stone characteristics. DESIGN: Fasting and postprandial gallbladder volumes were studied by ultrasonography in 49 gallstone patients with pigment (n = 14) or cholesterol (n = 35) stones and 30 healthy controls. After cholecystectomy stone composition, gallbladder wall inflammation, cholesterol saturation index and appearance of platelike cholesterol crystals in bile were evaluated in gallstone patients. RESULTS: Fasting gallbladder volume was significantly (P < 0.05) increased in cholesterol stone patients (31.7 +/- 1.9 mL) but not in pigment stone patients (21.9 +/- 3.1 mL), compared to controls (21.0 +/- 1.5 mL). Postprandial emptying was delayed in patients (half-emptying time: 31 +/- 2 min, 35 +/- 3 min, 24 +/- 2 min in cholesterol stone patients, pigment stone patients and controls, respectively, P < 0.05) and incomplete (residual volume: 43.2 +/- 2.7%, 40.0 +/- 4.3%, 15.8 +/- 1.6% min in cholesterol stone patients, pigment stone patients and controls, respectively, P < 0.05). The inflammation of the gallbladder wall was mild or absent in all cases. Biliary cholesterol saturation index was 152.3 +/- 8.5% and 92.9 +/- 4.8% in patients with cholesterol and pigment stones, respectively (P < 0.01). Whereas cholesterol crystals never appeared during 21 days in biles from patients with pigment stones, crystal observation time in patients with cholesterol gallstone was 5 days (median) and was significantly shorter in patients with multiple (4 days) than in patients with solitary (12 days) cholesterol stones (P = 0.0019). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with black pigment stones who do not have excess cholesterol and do not grow cholesterol crystals in bile have decreased gallbladder emptying, although to a lesser extent than patients with cholesterol stones. Thus, gallbladder stasis is likely to put a subset of subjects at risk for the formation of pigment gallstones, and pathogenic mechanisms need to be further investigated. 相似文献

This prospective study demonstrated that among 92 consecutive patients who underwent cholecystectomy for gallstones at an urban university hospital, 27% had pigment stones and 73% had cholesterol stones. Age, sex, and weight, but not race, were significant determinants of stone type. The mean hemoglobin, direct and total serum bilirubin, and fasting glucose concentrations were similar for each group. The presence of alcoholism, diabetes, thyroid disease, or heterozygous hemoglobinopathy did not influence stone type. The average patient with pigment stones is a lean man or woman 63 years old; in contrast the composite patient with cholesterol stones is a modestly overweight woman 43 years old. 相似文献

Bile acid and phospholipid fatty acid composition in bile of patients with cholesterol and pigment gallstones. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

It has been previously reported that patients with cholesterol gallstones have increased biliary deoxycholate and arachidonate content as compared with normal subjects without gallstones. Increased biliary deoxycholate and arachidonate content might be a primary factor in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones or merely an epiphenomenon due to the presence of gallstones. We therefore compared biliary bile acid composition in 46 patients with cholesterol gallstones and 22 patients with pigment stones. In addition, biliary phospholipid fatty acid composition was determined in 44 of these patients (30 cholesterol and 14 pigment stone patients). No significant differences were detected. In particular, the percentage deoxycholic acid (mean +/- SD: 20.3 +/- 8.8% and 21.5 +/- 10.9% respectively) and the percentage arachidonic acid (4.4 +/- 2.0% and 4.5 +/- 2.2%, respectively) were very similar. A significant correlation between age and biliary cholesterol saturation index was found only for the group of patients with pigment stones (R = 0.52, p less than 0.02). In conclusion, the present study does not support a primary role for increased biliary deoxycholic acid or arachidonic acid in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones. 相似文献

Successful oral litholytic and other nonoperative therapies of gallstones require exact determination of the stone components. Since computed tomography (CT) provides highly sensitive measurement of density, we performed a study to evaluate whether CT measurement of stone density allows a prediction of the composition of radiolucent gallstones. Twenty-eight patients presenting with 29 radiolucent gallbladder (n = 17) or common bile duct stones (n = 12) were included. Prior to operative or endoscopic therapy the attenuation values (Hounsfield Units, HU) were assessed in vivo by CT under standardized conditions (Somatom II, 125 KV, 130 mAs). After surgical or endoscopic stone removal the concrements were dehydrated, homogenized and then analysed by infra-red spectroscopy. The previously measured Hounsfield units were not known to the investigator. Eighteen cholesterol and 11 pigment stones could be identified. The attenuation values (Hounsfield units) of cholesterol stones amounting to 28-98 HU (48.7 +/- 4.4 HU) differed significantly (P less than 0.001) from pigment stones (90-120 HU/105.5 +/- 2.8 HU). We conclude that computed tomography provides exact discrimination between cholesterol and non-cholesterol stones in vivo. Since only cholesterol stones can be dissolved by cheno- and ursodeoxycholic acid we recommend measurement of the radiodensity of gallstones by CT prior to any litholytic therapy. Furthermore the prediction of the stone composition facilitates the decision on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and the selection of specific solvents for contact lysis via a nasobiliary probe. 相似文献

The influence of deoxycholic acid (DCA) on the factors in gallbladder bile responsible for cholesterol gallstone disease has been a controversial subject of discussion. This might be partially due to patient selection or inappropriate methods. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between the percentage of DCA and lithogenic factors in the gallbladder bile of patients with cholesterol gallstones and with normal or moderately impaired gallbladder contractility. Patients with pigment stones served as a control group. The percentage of DCA in the gallbladder bile of 20 patients with cholesterol stones (23.2%+/-6.5%; mean+/-SD) was comparable to the DCA percentage in the gallbladder bile of 11 patients with pigment stones (26.5%+/-8.5%). No correlation was seen between the DCA percentage of total bile acids and the crystal observation time, cholesterol saturation index (CSI), total protein value, mucin level, and amount of cholesterol in vesicles or crystals in the total group of patients or in the subgroups with cholesterol or pigment stones, respectively. The lack of correlation between DCA percentage and CSI was determined in native bile (r = 0.048) as well as in crystal-free bile after ultracentrifugation (r = 0.107). Our findings demonstrate that in patients with gallstones, the percentage of DCA in gallbladder bile is not related to any of the known biliary factors associated with cholesterol gallstone disease. We conclude that in patients with normal or moderately impaired gallbladder function, an elevated DCA level in the gallbladder bile is of minor pathophysiologic significance for the formation of cholesterol gallstones. 相似文献

To study the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones, we fed 24 adult male prairie dogs a high cholesterol, egg yolk diet. 13 control animals received a cholesterol-free diet. All animals fed the egg yolk diet formed multiple gallstones in 2-6 months' time. These stones contained cholesterol, 77+/-14% by dry weight. No stones ocurred in the control group.The egg yolk-fed animals developed bile of altered chemical composition. The cholesterol concentration of hepatic and gallbladder bile increased significantly. The molar ratios of bile acid/cholesterol and phospholipid/cholesterol decreased in hepatic and gallbladder bile. The predominant bile acid shifted from cholic acid, 78% of the total bile acids, to chenodeoxycholic acid, 60% of the total. In common bile duct cannulated animals the high cholesterol diet produced increased secretion of cholesterol by the liver and increased bile flow.In animals fed the egg yolk diet for 2 months, cholesterol-4-(14)C was included in the daily diet for the next 4 months to establish an isotopic steady state. At autopsy the mean specific activity of cholesterol was similar in serum, liver, hepatic bile, gallbladder bile, and gallstones. Thus the cholesterol of gallstones apparently equilibrated constantly throughout the study and was not sequestrated as a static pool.The high cholesterol, egg yolk diet caused the secretion of an "abnormal bile" which led to precipitation of cholesterol from micellar solution. The increased bile cholesterol relative to bile acid and phospholipid favored stone formation. This dietary induction of cholesterol gallstones provided a unique animal model, in part but not completely analogous to human cholelithiasis. 相似文献

In a total of 117 successfully punctured patients with gallbladder stones that were to be treated with methyl tert-butyl ether, 11 showed shell-like structured concrements on the CT scan. In 2 patients, pigment stones and very old concrements were suspected. In these 13 patients solitary stones dissolved in 2.9 hours, multiple stones in 10.8 hours, which corresponds to the treatment time of the total group. In 4 patients we diagnosed cholesterol stones, but dissolution was very slow, suggesting that the stones were covered with pigment. In 21 patients we found marked gallbladder anomalies, such as extreme septation, two-chamber gallbladders, gallbladder diverticula with a wedged stone, or gallbladders in which the fundus was positioned cranially. In these patients puncture time was prolonged by 25%. However, since in all patients the stones dissolved in the same time as in the total group (solitary stones; 3.1 hours: multiple stones: 10.4 hours) and since in 33% there was also sludge in the gallbladder, shape variants of the gallbladder obviously have no influence on the stone type. Whether they induce recurrent stones more often than normal gallbladders cannot be assessed at present. Shape variants of the gallbladder and layered stones on CT scan, however, do not represent a contraindication to MTBE therapy. 相似文献

Biliary calcium is believed to be of great importance in gallstone pathogenesis. These studies were therefore performed to determine if quantitative and/or qualitative differences in calcium are present in gallbladder bile from patients with and without gallstones. Bile was obtained by direct gallbladder aspiration from 68 obese patients undergoing elective gastric bypass surgery. Forty-five patients had no evidence of gallstones or sludge, 18 had cholesterol gallstones, and five had black pigment stones. Gallbladder bile was also obtained from 27 nonobese patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy (19 cholesterol; eight black pigment gallstones). For all patients, total calcium ranged from 1.50 to 16.44 mmol/L (mean: 6.05 +/- 0.31 mmol/L); free Ca++ ion ranged from 0.53 to 2.83 mmol/L (mean: 1.28 +/- 0.05 mmol/L). Considerable overlap was observed between obese and nonobese subjects and between patients with and without gallstones. For all patient groups, calcium, Ca++, and bound calcium increased linearly with increasing concentrations of bile salt. No significant differences in the slopes of these relationships were observed with obesity or gallstones. In contrast, free Ca++ ion was greater in gallbladder bile from gallstone patient groups throughout the entire range of bile salt. We hypothesize that this observed increase in Ca++ resulted from increased Gibbs-Donnan forces and excess gallbladder mucin present within the gallbladder bile of patients with gallstones. 相似文献

In a long-term longitudinal study of gestational diabetes mellitus in Black women, risk factors that were identified were age, obesity, a family history of diabetes, and the presence of hypertension. Poor predictors were a history of a previous large-for-date infant, parity, and age at first pregnancy. The prevalence of smooth muscle and nuclear autoantibodies was higher in gestational diabetic subjects. Gestational diabetic subjects who required insulin for glycemic control were more obese, had a lower frequency of the Bf-F phenotype and a higher frequency of the Bf-F1 phenotype, and had a lower frequency of the type 2 allele at the polymorphic locus adjacent to the insulin gene. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms flanking the insulin and apolipoprotein A-I and C-III genes, although not associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, may be associated with hyperlipidemia and subsequent atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Among the Cree-Ojibwa Indians in the subarctic boreal forest of northern Manitoba and Ontario, a high prevalence of clinical gallbladder disease (18.5% among women aged 20-64) was observed. Of a variety of sociodemographic, physiological, anthropometric, and lifestyle factors, increased age and serum triglycerides, and reduced total cholesterol were found to be independent associated factors on multivariate analysis whereas diabetic status, obesity, and a central fat distribution were not. Previous studies in this population have indicated that the Indians also suffer from a high burden of obesity, diabetes, and gallbladder cancer, thus lending support to the hypothesis that genetic predisposition to a constellation of metabolic disorders is perhaps universal among New World aboriginal peoples. 相似文献

Cholesterol gallstone pathogenesis: a study of potential nucleating agents for cholesterol crystal formation in bile 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cholesterol monohydrate crystal formation was measured quantitatively in model bile solutions, which were supersaturated with cholesterol, by a radiochemical method and qualitatively in human gallbladder bile by polarizing microscopy. Various agents, which have been postulated to act as nucleating factors for cholesterol crystal and gallstone formation, were added to bile and their effect on the appearance of cholesterol crystals was determined. These agents included calcium salts found in gallstones (calcite, aragonite, apatite, bilirubinate), Escherichia coli bacteria, pigment residues from cholesterol gallstones, bilirubin and several mucin preparations. Human gallbladder bile, which was collected from patients with and without cholesterol gallstones, was also mixed with model bile to examine whether nucleating or anti-nucleating factors were present. None of the agents tested markedly and consistently promoted cholesterol monohydrate crystal formation in model or human bile, except seed crystals of cholesterol monohydrate which were used as a control. Human gallbladder bile from obese patients without gallstones delayed the appearance of cholesterol crystals in model bile solutions, whereas gallbladder bile from gallstone patients did not. These results do not provide experimental support for the hypothesis that calcium salts and pigment material found in gallstones, or gallbladder mucin at concentrations less than 10 mg/ml, act as nucleating agents for cholesterol crystal and stone formation. The difference between gallbladder biles from patients with and without gallstones in their propensity to form cholesterol crystals may be due to the presence of an anti-nucleating factor in normal bile. 相似文献

The pathogenesis of hemolysis-induced gallstones was studied in mice with a hereditary hemolytic disease called normoblastic anemia (genotype nb/nb) and in their normal controls (genotype +/+). Infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that spontaneously formed gallstones from nb/nb mice were nearly identical to stones from patients with chronic hemolysis as the result of sickle cell disease, and both mouse and human stones strikingly resembled synthetic calcium bilirubinate. 57% of 115 nb/nb mice, but none of 109 control mice, developed calcium bilirubinate pigment gallstones (P < 0.001). The incidence of luminal gallstones in nb/nb mice was both sex and age dependent. Female nb/nb mice formed stones twice as frequently as male nb/nb mice (P < 0.001). Before 6 mo of age neither sex developed stones, but thereafter the incidence of stones increased with age. Neither hematocrit, reticulocyte count, nor total plasma bilirubin values, were useful in distinguishing between nb/nb mice with or without gallstones. In gallbladder bile, nb/nb mice with gallstones had higher concentrations of hydrogen ion, total bilirubin, calcium, and bile acids than nb/nb mice without stones. Although total unconjugated bilirubin was similar in both nb/nb groups, the ionized fraction of unconjugated bilirubin was higher in bile from nb/nb mice without stones than those with stones. In nb/nb mice, neutral mucin plugs and pigment concentrations were observed histologically in the glandular crypts of the gallbladder in 33% of nb/nb mice without stones and in 80% of nb/nb mice with luminal stones. This suggested that luminal pigment stone disease in mice with hemolysis may be preceded by microscopic precipitation of calcium bilirubinate in the glandular crypts of the gallbladder. These precipitates may then migrate into the lumen and grow by accretion. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Four main disturbances have been attributed to cholesterol gallstone disease: hypersecretion of cholesterol from the liver with cholesterol supersaturation in bile; disturbed motility with defective absorption and secretion by the gallbladder; increased crystallisation of cholesterol in the gallbladder bile; and slow intestinal transit with increased amount of deoxycholic acid in the bile acid pool. We aimed to evaluate the biliary lipid composition in a large series of gallstone patients, with emphasis on the amount of deoxycholic acid and with respect to number of stones, compared to gallstone free subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bile was sampled during operations through puncture of the gallbladder from 145 cholesterol gallstone patients, 23 patients with pigment stones and 87 gallstone free patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Biliary lipid composition, cholesterol saturation, bile acid composition, nucleation time and cholesterol crystals were analysed. RESULTS: The patients with cholesterol gallstones showed higher molar percentage of cholesterol, lower total biliary lipid concentration, higher cholesterol saturation, shorter nucleation time and higher proportion of crystals in bile than the other groups. The nucleation time was significantly shorter in multiple cholesterol gallstone patients, but this was not due to higher cholesterol saturation. Male cholesterol gallstone patients showed higher cholesterol levels, lower total biliary lipid concentration, and higher cholesterol saturation in bile than female patients. There was no difference in biliary content of deoxycholic acid, but significantly lower content of cholic acid in gallstone patients compared to gallstone free patients. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that deoxycholic acid does not contribute to gallstone formation in cholesterol gallstone patients. The short nucleation time in patients with multiple cholesterol stones is not due to higher cholesterol saturation. 相似文献
