Abstract: | Necessity of preoperative biliary drainage for patients with obstructive jaundice is still controversial. We recently reported that liver regeneration after major hepatectomy was better restored in a rat model of obstructive jaundice with preoperative internal biliary drainage than that without biliary drainage or with external biliary drainage. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in biliary lipid excretion after hepatectomy in obstructive jaundiced rats with or without preoperative internal or external biliary drainage. After bile duct ligation for 7 days, rats were randomly divided into the three groups; obstructive jaundice-hepatectomy (OJ-Hx), internal biliary drainage-hepatectomy (ID-Hx), and external biliary drainage-hepatectomy (ED-Hx) groups. 70% hepatectomy and internal biliary drainage were carried out 7 days after biliary decompression in the latter two groups and without biliary decompression in the OJ-Hx group. On the day of and on days 1, 2, 3 and 7 after hepatectomy, the liver weight, DNA synthesis rate, biliary lipids excretion rates, and bile acid composition were determined. In the ID-Hx group, the DNA synthesis rate and relative liver weight were significantly higher than those of the OJ-Hx and ED-Hx groups. The excretion rates of biliary lipids were disturbed in the ED-Hx group compared with those in the ID-Hx group and the values in the OJ-Hx group were in-between the ID-Hx and ED-Hx group. The liver regeneration rate was significantly correlated with bile flow and excretion rates of biliary lipids. The maintenance of enterohepatic circulation of biliary lipids before hepatectomy may be important for the liver regeneration. |
