Article Abstract
Background: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) bleeding is a serious complication, and related case reports have described various bleeding events following ERCP, including injury to the right gastroepiploic artery, bleeding from biliary varices, retroperitoneal hematoma in liver transplant recipients and subcapsular liver hematoma after ERCP.
Case Summary: We present a case of a 55-year-old male patient who developed post-ERCP hemorrhage one month after undergoing ERCP, endoscopic sphincterotomy, and bile duct stone removal for acute biliary pancreatitis. The patient presented with upper abdominal pain and melena, and imaging studies revealed high-density shadows in the intrahepatic bile duct, gallbladder, and lower segment of the common bile duct, suggestive of bleeding. Emergency interventional embolization was performed, and subsequent endoscopic and interventional therapies were implemented to control the bleeding. The patient's hemoglobin levels gradually improved, and biliary indicators normalized.
Conclusion: Post-ERCP bleeding can result from various etiologies, and the rupture of variant vessels is a noteworthy topic warranting further exploration.

Sump Syndrome: A Rare Complication of Choledochojejunostomy.

Before the period of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), individuals with biliary tract diseases would undergo side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy, and sump syndrome used to develop as a complication of this procedure. There is retention of bile along with debris or calculi, and refluxed duodenal contents in the common bile duct, which leads to biliary and pancreatic complications. This syndrome's pathophysiology often results when the distal common bile duct below the anastomosis becomes a blind pouch (), leading to stasis of bile, food debris, and bacteria, which can lead to obstruction and infection.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a fatal bile duct malignancy. CCA is intrinsically resistant to standard chemotherapy, responds poorly to it, and has a poor prognosis. Effective treatments for cholangiocarcinoma remain elusive, and a breakthrough in CCA treatment is still awaited.

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage has been reported as an alternative technique when transpapillary endoscopic biliary drainage fails. This case study describes a case of pseudoaneurysm, one of the complications unique to endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage. An 87-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography-guided hepaticojejunostomy with a partially covered metallic stent developed hematochezia.

Background: Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) is caused by a predominantly Th2-mediated attack on the basement membrane by the production of anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 antibodies. Malignant tumors can exacerbate immune disorders through a variety of potential pathways, including pro-inflammatory responses in the tumor microenvironment, cross-immune responses induced by tumor-associated antigens, and the lifting of immunosuppressive states and activation of underlying autoimmune responses after surgery. Alopecia Areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease caused by T-lymphocyte-mediated destruction of the immune privilege of the hair follicle, specifically involving the immune axes of Th1, Th2 and Th17.

Background And Aims: Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe neonatal cholangiopathy characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis. We aimed to systematically investigate BA pathology using integrated multi-omics.
Methods: Multi-omics integration of BA and control livers revealed sphingolipid dysregulation.
