Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is a new method for the treatment of cholecystitis in patients with high surgical risk. The acute symptoms can be relieved by drainage of bile, and cholecystolithotomy or polyp resection can be performed through a stent or fistula.</p></div><div><h3>Aims</h3><p>This article introduced the technique of EUS-guided cholecystolithotomy and conducted a meta-analysis evaluating its feasibility and safety.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>Four electronic databases including SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and PubMed were researched from inception to June 2022. Two researchers independently carried out literature screening and the data relevant to success rate and safety of per-oral cholecystoscopy were extracted for further meta-analysis by R Programming Language.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A total of 7 studies with 129 patients were included in the present analysis.

CC chemokines can modulate the infiltration of immune cells and affect the clinical outcome of cancer patients. However, the therapeutic potential and prognostic value of CC chemokines in PAAD have not yet been elucidated. To do this, we comprehensively explore and analyze large amounts of data base on ONCOMINE, UALCAN, GEPIA2, LinkedOmics, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, cBioPortal, GeneMANIA, DAVID 6.8, TRRUST, TIMER, TISIDB, DGIdb, and TTD. We found the transcriptional levels of CCL5/7/13/15/18/19/20 in PAAD tissues were remarkably increased, whereas the transcriptional level of CCL17 was decreased. CCL20 expression had significantly been correlated with the tumor stage of PAAD patients. High expressions of CCL5, CCL7, CCL13, CCL18, and CCL20 were notably correlated with the prognosis of patients. Moreover, patients with CCL18 and CCL19 alterations showed a poor prognosis in both overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Patients with CCL5 and CCL15 alterations also presented a poor prognosis in OS. The key transcription factors for CC chemokines are RELA and NF-κB1. The functions of the differentially expressed CC chemokines were mainly correlated the chemokine signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, and so forth. We also discovered significant associations between the expression levels of CC chemokines and six infiltrating immune cells including, CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. The drug-gene interactions and related miRNAs of aberrant expression CC chemokines were also explored. Our study indicated the correlation between CC chemokines and PAAD and clarified the value of differentially expressed CC chemokines as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for PAAD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100571,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology & Endoscopy","volume":"1 2","pages":"Pages 91-101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49885377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DILI has been typically classified as direct or idiosyncratic, but indirect injury has been recognized as the third type of DILI. It is difficult to predict and prevent DILI due to the lack of acute diagnosis tools. Many novel serum biomarkers have been identified for DILI and need further study in the clinic.
