Since then several investigators have injected pancreatic juice into the gallbladder and bile duct system, with varying results.^2-5 Bisgard and Baker⁶ ligated the common bile duct of young goats near the duodenum, resulting in a mixing of bile and pancreatic enzymes in both the gallbladder and the pancreas and producing cholecystitis and pancreatitis. They observed that pancreatic ferments alone did not produce inflammation of the biliary tract, but when pancreatic enzymes were in the gallbladder, together with a condition of stasis, cholecystitis invariably developed.
