Initial site of bile regurgitation following extrahepatic biliary obstruction in living rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The precise mechanism of bile regurgitation from the biliary system to the blood stream still remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the initial site of bile regurgitation in vivo after common bile duct (CBD) obstruction by digitally enhanced fluorescence microscopy. METHODS: The fluorescence excreted into bile canaliculi after the administration of sodium fluorescein was continuously observed in CBD obstruction, using video-enhanced contrast (VEC) microscopy equipped with a silicon intensified target (SIT) camera. The liver histology and the localization of Mg(2+)-ATPase were examined by light and electron microscopy. RESULTS: By the continuous recording of canalicular fluorescence, the sequential regurgitation of the fluorescence from the canaliculi to the hepatocyte cytoplasm to the sinusoids was distinctively recognized after CBD obstruction. Bile canalicular fluorescence was enhanced, and then the fluorescence of the hepatocyte cytoplasm increased in intensity, followed by regurgitation of the fluorescence to the sinusoids. These in vivo sequences closely correlated with changes in CBD pressure. In zone 1, canalicular fluorescence focally burst into hepatocyte cytoplasm, thus resulting in the formation of fluorescent cells. By light and electron microscopy, the fluorescent cells were found to correspond to the liver cell injury. The reaction products of Mg(2+)-ATPase were incorporated into vesicles with a decreased canalicular activity, and then were transported to the sinusoidal surface after CBD obstruction. CONCLUSIONS: The initial site of bile regurgitation may be transcellular, and partly involves liver cell injury in zone 1 in extrahepatic biliary obstruction, associated with increased pressure of the biliary system.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
