Abstract
BACKGROUND The type and quantity of dietary carbohydrate as quantified by glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL), and dietary fiber may influence the risk of liver and biliary tract cancers, but convincing evidence is lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS The association between dietary GI/GL and carbohydrate intake with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; N = 191), intrahepatic bile duct (IBD; N = 66), and biliary tract (N = 236) cancer risk was investigated in 477 206 participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. Dietary intake was assessed by country-specific, validated dietary questionnaires. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated from proportional hazard models. HBV/HCV status was measured in a nested case-control subset. RESULTS Higher dietary GI, GL, or increased intake of total carbohydrate was not associated with liver or biliary tract cancer risk. For HCC, divergent risk estimates were observed for total sugar = 1.43 (1.17-1.74) per 50 g/day, total starch = 0.70 (0.55-0.90) per 50 g/day, and total dietary fiber = 0.70 (0.52-0.93) per 10 g/day. The findings for dietary fiber were confirmed among HBV/HCV-free participants [0.48 (0.23-1.01)]. Similar associations were observed for IBD [dietary fiber = 0.59 (0.37-0.99) per 10 g/day], but not biliary tract cancer. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that higher consumption of dietary fiber and lower consumption of total sugars are associated with lower HCC risk. In addition, high dietary fiber intake could be associated with lower IBD cancer risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The outcome analysis of obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in Asia-Pacific countries is rarely reported. This study examined associations between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes of elective LC in Taiwan. METHODS A total of 627 patients with gallbladder disease due to gallstones undergoing LC were divided into three groups based on BMI: <25.0 kg/m2 (normal, NO; n = 310), 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 (overweight, OW; n = 252), and >30 kg/m2 (obese, OB; n = 65). RESULTS Both overweight and obesity were not associated with conversion and complication rates. The conversion rates of the three groups were 5.5 (NO), 6.0 (OW), and 4.6% (OB), and the complication rates were 3.2 (NO), 2.4% (OW), and 4.6% (OB), respectively. However, overweight and obesity were related to a trend toward longer operating time (NO 67.4 +/- 31.8; OW 77.8 +/- 35.6; OB 79.0 +/- 37.9 min) (P trend <0.001). One death (BMI 40.6 kg/m2) was due to septic complications. In the multivariable logistic analysis, only acute cholecystitis, but not BMI, was a predictor for conversion and complications. CONCLUSIONS Based on these results, it appears that BMI was not associated with clinical outcomes and that LC is a safe procedure in obese patients with uncomplicated gallstone disease in Taiwan.

Abstract
Cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis and hepatolithiasis are common biliary tract diseases. These diseases may cause severe infection and/or sepsis. In addition to surgical treatments, prompt administration of appropriate antibiotic is important to control the biliary tract infection. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the bacteriology in biliary tract disease and provide information for antibiotic choices. From Jan 1991 to Aug 2000, 1394 patients including gallbladder (GB) stones, common bile duct (CBD) stones, intrahepatic duct (IHD) stones, GB polyps and biliary malignancy were subjects for this retrospective study. The overall positive rate of bile culture is 36% in this study while it was 25%, 66%, 67% and 9% for GB stones, CBD stones, IHD stones and biliary malignancy, respectively. A significantly higher (p = 0.001) positive culture rate was found for GB stones with acute cholecystits (47%) compared with that without inflammation (17%). Similarly, the culture rate for hepatolithiasis with acute cholangitis was higher than that without cholangitis (75% vs 51%, p = 0.011). Long-term external biliary drainage in biliary malignancy increased the risk of bacterial culture rate. For gallstone diseases, the most common organisms cultured were Gram negative bacteria (74%), in which Escherichia coli (36%) and Klebsiella (15%) were most commonly found, followed by Gram positive (15%) bacteria such as Enterococcus (6%), Staphylcoccus (3%), Streptococcus (2%). Bacteroides (5%) and Clostridium (3%) were occasionally found anaerobes (9%). Polymicrobial infection was encountered in 19%, 31% and 29% for patients with GB stones, CBD stones and IHD stones, respectively; frequency of mixed aerobic and anaerobic infection was 7%, 12% and 9%. In the current study, ampicillin in combination with sulbactam and aminoglycoside is still a suggestive empirical therapy. Antibiotic treatment should be adjusted based on later bacteriological cultures and clinical condition.
