Article Abstract
Pancreas transplantation utilizing portal venous and enteric exocrine drainage has potential benefits over the standard systemic venous and bladder exocrine drainage method. Unfortunately, technical difficulties are often experienced with the arterial anastomosis after the portal venous anastomosis is completed. We have found that the addition of an innominate artery interposition graft has greatly simplified the procedure.

Radiation Exposure in Concurrent Abdominoplevic and Chest CT Scans: An Analysis of Overlap and Clinical Impact.
J Radiol Prot
January 2025
Department of Biostatistics, Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital Bucheon, Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, Korea (the Republic of).
This study investigated the additional radiation exposure, influencing factors, and clinical significance of overlapping Z-axis coverage in abdominopelvic CT scans performed consecutively after same-day chest CT scans. Data from 761 patients were analyzed, with measuring the total and overlapping Z-axis coverage of the portal venous phase in abdominopelvic CT scans. The average overlapping portion was 33.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by severe liver inflammation and fibrosis due to an imbalanced immune response caused by enhanced bacterial components. The progression of MASH is closely linked to increased permeability of intestinal mucosal barrier facilitating enter of bacterial components into hepatic portal venous system. B cells are important immune cells for adaptive responses and enhance hepatic inflammation through cytokine production and T cell activation.

January 2025
School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology, Sichuan, China.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate how dynamic contrast-enhanced CT imaging signs correlate with the differentiation grade and microvascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to assess their predictive value for MVI when combined with clinical characteristics.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 232 patients diagnosed with HCC at our hospital between 2021 and 2022. All patients underwent preoperative enhanced CT scans, laboratory tests, and postoperative pathological examinations.
The pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor reduces portal pressure independent of fibrosis reduction through the splanchnic vasculature.

Portal hypertension (PH) can cause severe complications in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (aCLD). The pan-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (pan-PPAR) agonist lanifibranor reduces portal pressure in preclinical models of aCLD. Since the effect on PH might be secondary to fibrosis improvement, we investigated the effect of lanifibranor on PH, hepatic and splanchnic angiogenesis in mouse models of fibrotic and prehepatic non-fibrotic PH.

Introduction: Portal hypertension is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. Varices are dilated collaterals that develop as a result of portal hypertension at the level of the porto-systemic connections and can cause a shift in the blood flow from high to low pressure. Common locations for porto-systemic shunts are the lower oesophagus and the gastric fundus.
