Background: Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic artery or its branches have been reported following abdominal trauma, iatrogenic injury at the time of many operations such as percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and cholecystectomy. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are uncommon and potentially life threatening and should be identified and treated rapidly.

Case Summary: We report a case of intra-abdominal hemorrhage secondary to a left hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm resulting from guide wire injury at ERCP.

The decomposition of ammonia borane (NHBH) to produce hydrogen has developed a promising technology to alleviate the energy crisis. In this paper, metal and non-metal diatom-doped CoP as catalyst was applied to study hydrogen evolution from NHBH by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Herein, five catalysts were investigated in detail: pristine CoP, Ni- and N-doped CoP (CoP), Ga- and N-doped CoP (CoP), Ni- and S-doped CoP (CoP), and Zn- and S-doped CoP (CoP).

To investigate the association between preoperative HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) level and risk of HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) recurrence following curative resection, we enrolled 826 HBV-related HCC patients who underwent curative resection and received long-term follow-up at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital (Shanghai, China). Multivariate analyses showed that serum HBsAg ≥ 2000 S/CO, seropositive hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase > 61 U/L, prothrombin time > 13 s, multinodularity, lager tumor size, and major portal vein invasion were independently associated with a increased risk of HCC recurrence. Compared with HCC patients with HBsAg level < 2000 S/CO, HCC patients with HBsAg level ≥ 2000 S/CO had a higher prevalence of seropositive HBeAg, antiviral therapy, and cirrhosis; were younger; and had a higher levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and HBV viral load.

AIM:To investigate the protective effects of polydatin (PD) against injury to primarily cultured rat hepatocytes induced by CCl(4).METHODS:Rat hepatocytes were separated by methods of liver infusion in vivo and cultured medium (7.5X10(5) cells/mL).
