During the last decades the concept of bile secretion as merely a way to add detergent components to the intestinal mixture to facilitate fat digestion/absorption and to eliminate side products of heme metabolism has evolved considerably. In the series of mini-reviews that the World Journal of Gastroenterology is to publish in its section of "Highlight Topics", we will intend to give a brief but updated overview of our knowledge in this field. This introductory letter is intended to thank all scientists who have contributed to the development of this area of knowledge in gastroenterology.
在过去几十年间,胆汁分泌仅仅是向肠道混合物中添加洗涤剂成分以促进脂肪消化/吸收以及清除血红素代谢副产物的一种方式这一概念已经有了很大的发展。在《世界胃肠病学杂志》即将在其“热点话题”板块发表的一系列小型综述中,我们打算对该领域的知识做一个简要但最新的概述。这封介绍信旨在感谢所有为胃肠病学这一知识领域的发展做出贡献的科学家。
