Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a rare disease characterized by ductopenia and cholestasis, and is linked to immunological damage to the bile duct system. VBDS can be triggered by infection, ischemia, autoimmune diseases, adverse drug reactions, and humoral factors associated with malignancy. A few cases of VBDS associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-related drug-induced liver injury (DILI) have been reported. Here, we report a case of a 29-year-old patient who developed DILI that progressed to VBDS after the administration of pelubiprofen.

Biliary atresia (BA) is a serious hepatobiliary disorder that occurs due to progressive inflammation and scarring obstruction in the bile ducts, posing a threat to life. This condition usually appears in infants, and timely identification is fundamental for a better prognosis. If left untreated, individuals will inevitably experience liver damage and mortality.

Sump syndrome is a rare complication of biliary surgery that is now rarely seen in the era of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). It occurs when the distal common bile duct becomes obstructed between an anastomosis from a choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and the ampulla of Vater, forming a sump that accumulates debris. Sump syndrome should be considered as a diagnosis in patients who present with cholangitis or pancreatitis and any history of biliary diversion, regardless of the time of presentation.

To survey and characterize intraductal polypoid neoplasms in the intrahepatic large bile ducts of small duct-type intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (small duct-iCCA), a total of 121 cases of small duct-iCCA presenting mass-forming growth were surveyed for intraductal polypoid neoplasms that were compared with mass-forming tumors in individual cases and with intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB) (20 cases). Polypoid neoplasms were found in intrahepatic bile ducts in 8 (6.6%) of 121 cases of small duct-iCCA.

Liver organoids have been increasingly adopted as a critical in vitro model to study liver development and diseases. However, the pre-vascularization of liver organoids without affecting liver parenchymal specification remains a long-lasting challenge, which is essential for their application in regenerative medicine. Here, the large-scale formation of pre-vascularized human hepatobiliary organoids (vhHBOs) is presented without affecting liver epithelial specification via a novel strategy, namely nonparenchymal cell grafting (NCG).

Objective: Secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) represents a disease with a poor prognosis increasingly diagnosed in clinical settings. Notably, SSC in critically ill patients (SSC-CIP) is the most frequent cause. Variables associated with worse prognosis remain unclear.
