Bilothorax is a rare condition, mostly associated with surgery involving the biliary system or trauma. In this article a case of bilothorax secondary to liver surgery is reported, which recovered by pleural and abdominal drainage. Bilothorax should be considered as a cause of respiratory detoriation in patients with recent biliary or hepatic surgery.

Debrisoquine Hydroxylation

Liver transplantation or the surgical construction of portacaval shunts may radically alter an individual's debrisoquine hydroxylation capacity. Good clinical management should encompass a full awareness of such changing needs and problems in patients who undergo hepatic surgery.

Liver resections are demanding operations which can have life threatening complications although they are performed by experienced liver surgeons. The parameter “Blood Loss” has a central role in liver surgery, and different strategies to minimize it are a key to improve results. Moreover, recently, new technologies are applied in the field of liver surgery, having one goal: safer and easier liver operations. The aim of this paper is to review the different principal solutions to the problem of blood loss in hepatic surgery, focusing on technical aspects of new devices.

We present the case of a 60-year-old patient who developed a right-sided bilothorax following para-aortic lymph node sampling. Bilothorax is a very rare condition, with most of the reported cases resulting from direct flow of bile from the biliary system to the pleural space through a fistula or other defect in the diaphragm. In this case, there was no obvious communication found between peritoneal and pleural spaces. Our patient proceeded to an exploratory laparotomy following this finding in the absence of peritonitis. Bilothorax should be considered in patients who develop a progressive pleural effusion following upper gastrointestinal surgery, particularly if it involves manipulation of the biliary system.

An interesting feature of the goldfish liver is the morphology of the hepatic plate, which is always formed by a two-cell layer of hepatocytes. Hepatic plates of the goldfish liver contain an infrequently seen second type of cell, in the centers of plates between two hepatocytes. A TEH study by Yamamoto (1) demonstrated ultrastructural differences between hepatocytes and centrally located cells in hepatic plates; the latter were classified as ductule cells of the biliary system. None of the previous studies clearly showed a three-dimensional organization of the two cell types described. In the present investigation we utilize SEM to elucidate the arrangement of hepatocytes and bile ductular cells in intralobular plates of goldfish liver.Livers from young goldfish (Carassius auratus), about 6-10 cm, fed commercial fish food were used for this study. Hepatic samples were fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde, cut into pieces, fractured, osmicated, CPD, mounted Au-Pd coated, and viewed by SEM at 17-20 kV. Our observations were confined to the ultrastructure of biliary passages within intralobular plates, ductule cells, and hepatocytes.
