Can sonographic signs predict long-term results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
This retrospective study showed that the sonographic sign of grit in the gallbladder is associated with a high relative risk for persistent abdominal symptoms after cholecystectomy. These findings will be re-evaluated in a prospective study to estimate the definitive clinical importance.
Celecoxib enhances the chemosensitivity of KB/VCR cells by down-regulating P-gp expression, which is partially mediated by modification of cyclin D1 and p21(WAF1/CIP1) to result in cell cycle arrest.
