Donor hepatic artery reconstruction based on human embryology: A case report.
World J Gastrointest Surg
August 2023
Background: Embryonic hepatic artery anatomy simplifies its identification during liver transplantation. Injuries to the donor hepatic artery can cause complications in this process. The hepatic artery's complex anatomy in adults makes this step challenging; however, during embryonic development, the artery and its branches have a simpler relationship.

Patient Concerns: A 79-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain radiating through to the back in November 2016.
Diagnoses: Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealed filling defects in CBD stump, chronic pancreatitis, and dilatation of CBD stump and main pancreatic duct (MPD).
Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that N-cadherin is a cell adhesion molecule that has critical roles in tumour progression. However, the role of N-cadherin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial.
Methods: This study aims to investigate the expression status of N-cadherin and its molecular mechanisms in HCC.
Article Synopsis
- Cotton needs nutrients, especially phosphorus, to grow well, but most phosphorus is not easily available in soil.
- Scientists studied a specific gene called GhmMDH1 from cotton plants to see how it helps plants take in phosphorus better.
- When they changed the amount of GhmMDH1 in the plants, those with more of it grew better, had longer roots, and absorbed more phosphorus, while those with less struggled to grow.
Background: The expression of survivin is a promising prognostic indicator for some carcinomas. However, evidence for the prognostic value of survivin with respect to survival in hepatocellular carcinoma remains controversial.
Aim: To conduct a systematic review of studies evaluating survivin expression in hepatocellular carcinoma as a prognostic indicator.
