Gut . 2001 Oct; 49(5):692-8. PMID: 11600474
Background: Gall bladder functions are modulated by neurones intrinsic to the organ. Data are available on the neurochemical composition of intrinsic and extrinsic nerves innervating the gall bladder but are...

Al-Jiffry B, Meedeniya A, Chen J, Toouli J, Saccone G
Regul Pept . 2001 Oct; 102(1):31-9. PMID: 11600208
Background: Endothelin-1 (ET-1) stimulates guinea pig gallbladder (GB) muscle strip contractility; however, the role and source of ET-1 in the GB remains to be elucidated. Aims: To determine the effect...

Craig A, Omari T, Lingenfelser T, Schloithe A, Saccone G, Dent J, et al.
Endoscopy . 2001 Aug; 33(8):651-7. PMID: 11490379
Background And Study Aims: Unavoidable catheter movement during sphincter of Oddi (SO) manometry can produce considerable variations in the basal pressure, due to movement of the recording sidehole. The sleeve...

Simula M, Brookes S, Meedeniya A, Toouli J, Saccone G
Cell Tissue Res . 2001 Jun; 304(1):31-41. PMID: 11383884
The nitrergic innervation of the sphincter of Oddi (SO) and duodenum in the Australian brush-tailed possum and the possible association of this innervation with the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)...

Craig A, Chen L, Saccone G, Chen J, Padbury R, Toouli J
J Gastroenterol Hepatol . 2001 Feb; 16(2):230-4. PMID: 11207909
The pathophysiology of choledochal cysts remains unclear, although an association with anomalous pancreato-biliary junction and the reflux of pancreatic enzymes into the biliary tree is known. Sphincter of Oddi (SO)...

J Pharmacol Exp Ther . 2001 Feb; 296(3):1067-73. PMID: 11181942
Chemically altered hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have been developed as prototype blood substitutes. Such molecules may affect numerous biological processes, since free hemoglobin scavenges nitric oxide (NO). Diaspirin cross-linked hemoglobin (DCLHb)...

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol . 2000 Sep; 279(4):G837-43. PMID: 11005772
Manometric assembly diameter is a major limitation on the number of perfused manometric recording points for recordings from the sphincter of Oddi (SO). We evaluated novel polyimide manometric assemblies whereby...

Gut . 2000 Sep; 47(4):539-45. PMID: 10986215
Background: Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction has been implicated as a cause of various forms of acute pancreatitis. However, there is no direct evidence to show that sphincter of Oddi dysfunction...
