OBJECTIVE: To establish a mouse model of biliary obstruction. METHODS: Sixty-four Balb/c mice were divided into experimental group and control group. Obstructive jaundice was induced in the mice in the experimental group by common bile duct ligation. The level of the common bile duct diameter, WBC, LYM MID, LYM%, MID% and ALT, AST, TBIL, DBIL, IBIL, ALP and CHOL were measured 12 h and 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, and 7 days after the ligation. The morphological changes in the liver were also observed. RESULTS: The level of common bile duct diameter, WBC, LYM, MID, LYM%, MID% and ALT, AST, TBIL, DBIL, ALP and CHOL all underwent changes with time following certain patterns. CONCLUSION: The jaundice manifestation of this model is similar to that of patients with biliary obstruction, and this model may provide a reliable model for studying the mechanism of obstructive jaundice.
