AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of perfusion computed tomography (CT) in estimating liver function in patients before they undergo surgery for liver tumors, comparing it with the traditional indocyanine green retention test.
- A total of 31 patients with liver cancer participated, undergoing both tests on the same day, and their results were analyzed statistically.
- The findings showed a strong relationship between the results from perfusion CT and the indocyanine green test, suggesting that perfusion CT could serve as a valuable noninvasive alternative for evaluating liver function before surgery.*
Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the potential usefulness of perfusion computed tomography (CT) for the estimation of hepatic functional reserve in patients scheduled for surgical resection and to compare the results with those of the indocyanine green retention test results.
Methods: Thirty-one patients with hepatobiliary malignancies were included. Perfusion CT and indocyanine green retention test were performed on the same day, and their results were compared using Pearson correlation test.
Results: A strong correlation was found between perfusion CT time-to-peak values and indocyanine green retention rate at 15 minutes and indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate values (R, 0.789 and -0.790; R, 0.832 and -0.823, respectively; P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Perfusion CT may be useful for the preoperative noninvasive estimation of hepatic functional reserve for patients undergoing liver resection.

Precise surgical resection of prostate cancer (PCa) is a significant clinical challenge due to the impact of positive surgical margins on postoperative outcomes. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) enables real-time tumor visualization using fluorescent probes. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated an indocyanine green (ICG)-based PSMA-targeted near-infrared probe, , for intraoperative imaging of PCa lesions.

Introduction: The introduction of intraoperative fluorophores represented a significant advancement in neurosurgical practice. Nowadays they found different applications: in oncology to improve the visualization of tumoral tissue and optimize resection rates and in vascular neurosurgery to assess the exclusion of vascular malformations or the permeability of bypasses, with real-time intraoperative evaluations.
Research Question: A comprehensive knowledge of how fluorophores work is crucial to maximize their benefits and to incorporate them into daily neurosurgical practice.

Background: Different techniques have been proposed to reduce the incidence of the intraoperative bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Among these, Near-Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography (NIFC) with Indocyanine Green (ICG) represents a relatively recent addition. At present, there is considerable variation in the protocols for the administration of ICG.

Bioenergetic therapy based on tumor glucose metabolism is emerging as a promising therapeutic modality. To overcome the poor bioavailability and toxicity of arenobufagin (ArBu), a MOF-derived intelligent nanosystem, ZIAMH, was designed to facilitate energy deprivation by simultaneous interventions of glycolysis, OXPHOS and TCA cycle. Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 was loaded with ArBu and indocyanine green, encapsulated within metal-phenolic networks for chemodynamic therapy and hyaluronic acid modification for tumor targeting.
