Anatomical simulation analysis of pancreaticobiliary junction in occult pancreaticobiliary reflux: based on Fluent study by LÜ Beining, HOU Nianzong, XIANG Yukai, DA Xuanbo, YANG Yulong, TIAN Fuzhou

“…When the common channel was >5 mm due to the absence of the ampullary diaphragm and the duodenal papilla was biased to the side of pancreatic duct, the degree of pancreaticobiliary reflux was more serious, and pancreatic juice reflux was observed throughout the entire bile duct. On the basis of this reflux model, the length of common channel of biliopancreatic duct was shortened, and the opening of outflow tract was enlarged, and the phenomenon of pancreaticobiliary reflux disappeared. …”

Influence of the polysaccharide capsule on virulence and fitness of Klebsiella pneumoniae by Lisa Zierke, Rodi Mourad, Thomas P. Kohler, Mathias Müsken, Sven Hammerschmidt

“…The CPS is therefore crucial for both escaping detection by the immune system and enhancing the virulence potential.MethodsIn this study, we generated a non-encapsulated mutant (Kpn2146∆wza) to observe how the CPS interferes with K. pneumoniae adhesion, survival in blood, and invasiveness in an experimental infection model.ResultsInfection of A549 lung epithelial cells showed similar adherence levels for the wild-type and non-capsulated strain, while our data showed a moderately higher internalization of Kpn2146Δwza when compared to the wild-type. …”
