Precision medicine for personalized cholecystitis care: integrating molecular diagnostics and biotherapeutics

摘要

Abstract Background Acute cholecystitis, inflammation of the gallbladder, can lead to serious complications if not promptly diagnosed and managed. Conventional therapies have limitations, necessitating newer personalized approaches. Main body of the abstract This review examines recent advances transforming cholecystitis care. Diagnostically, molecular techniques like next-generation sequencing rapidly identify causative microbes from gallbladder specimens, enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy. Regarding treatment, phage therapy uses viruses to lyse pathogenic bacteria. RNA interference and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing silence microbial virulence factors. Probiotics competitively exclude pathogens. Robotics and fluorescence imaging refine surgical techniques. Additional emerging modalities include biosensors detecting inflammatory mediators, regenerative gallbladder tissue engineering using stem cells, and artificial intelligence for real-time decision support. However, the optimal integration of novel technologies with current best practices remains unknown. Further research is needed to validate and optimize personalized diagnostics and therapeutics for cholecystitis. Short conclusions Advances in next-generation sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, robotics, and other biotechnologies promise to transform the precision and personalized management of cholecystitis when thoughtfully implemented. However, controlled trials are still required to define optimal integration with conventional supportive care and antibiotics.
