Abstract
Four biliary stents inserted for relief of jaundice in patients with biliary obstruction due to carcinoma of pancreatic head were examined for the adsorption of biliary proteins and bacterial colonization. Fibronectin and vitronectin (S-protein) were found to be the two main proteins adsorbed on the inner surface of the stents. Biliary isolates included Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Candida albicans. In vitro studies were performed to clarify the kinetics of biliary protein and bacterial adhesion. Biliary drains of polytetrafluorethylene, polyethylene, polyurethane, and rubber were placed in a flow cell and perfused with human bile at 37% C for 24 hr. The materials were subjected to either detection of adsorbed biliary proteins or perfusion with 3 H-labeled E. coli cells (1 X 10 6 cfu/ml). The results show that the adsorbed biliary proteins were detectable on the surface of biliary stents and able to enhance bacterial adhesion to the surface in the first 24 hrs after the exposure of stent materials to bile, and that both the adsorption of biliary proteins and the adhesion of bacterial cells were material- and strain-dependent. Furthermore, there was a clear correlation between the amount of adsorbed fibronectin a...Continue Reading
