Proliferative activity of bile from congenital choledochal cyst patients

Table 2 Effects of bile on the growth of QBC939 with or with-out celecoxib

Group	n	OD490	P	+CE OD490	P
A	20	0.59 ± 0.17	bP = 0.002, dP = 0.001	0.29 ± 0.09	bP = 0.089, dP = 0.190
B	10	0.47 ± 0.14	bP = 0.398	0.26 ± 0.07	bP = 0.052
C	5	0.43 ± 0.10		0.24 ± 0.09

QBC939 cells were incubated in 1% CCC bile (A), 1% normal bile (B) or 1% PBS (C) with or without 20 µM celecoxib (+CE), and the cells density (OD_490nm) was measured by using MTT assay. Data were expressed as ^-x±s, b vs C, d vs B.
