In bile duct carcinoma (BDC) patients, bile aspiration cytology (BAC) is an established method for cytodiagnosis. However, almost all previous reports investigated the biliary strictures caused not only by BDC but also by gallbladder and pancreatic carcinomas. Therefore, BAC in BDC patients only has not yet been investigated sufficiently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the actual sensitivit...... hiện toàn bộ
Endoscopic ultrasonographic study of autoimmune pancreatitis and the effect of steroid therapyJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 19 - Trang 266-273 - 2011

Recently, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has been used for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis (CP); however, EUS diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) varies among different researchers. We investigated EUS findings in AIP and retrospectively analyzed them before and after steroid therapy. The subjects were 32 patients with AIP and the EUS images of the pancreatic parenchyma were evaluat...... hiện toàn bộ
Caudate lobectomy (segmentectomy 1) (with video)Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - - 2012
Yutaka Midorikawa, Tadatoshi Takayama
AbstractBackgroundThe caudate lobe of the liver is located behind both major lobes and is surrounded by the inferior vena cava, three main hepatic veins, and the hepatic hilum. Despite a hard‐to‐approach anatomic location, isolated complete removal of the caudate lobe is recommended to improve curability in hepatocellular carcinom...... hiện toàn bộ
Single HCC between 2 and 5 cm: the grey zoneJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 17 - Trang 434-437 - 2009
Masatoshi Kudo, Hobyung Chung
Long term survival of single nodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) measuring 2–5 cm in size treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was compared between 157 HCCs treated with RFA and 89 HCCs treated by operation. The 5 year survival rate was not significantly different between RFA and operation. In addition, the 17th nationwide survey of the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan clearly showed tha...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in the surgical approach to hilar cholangiocarcinoma during an 18‐year period in a Western single centerJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 17 Số 3 - Trang 329-337 - 2010

AbstractBackgroundLiver resection is the only potential curative treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In this article, we evaluate mortality, survival, prognostic factors, and changes in surgical approach during the last two decades at a Western hepato‐biliary center.Methods... hiện toàn bộ
A new classification for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombusJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 18 - Trang 74-80 - 2010

We aimed to correlate the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with macroscopic portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) who underwent partial hepatectomy with or without portal thrombectomy with our PVTT classification. Currently, different staging systems for HCC are widely used in clinical practice. However, they lack the refinement in giving prognosis and guiding surgical treatmen...... hiện toàn bộ
Hepatocyte growth factor promotes liver regeneration induced by transfusion of bone marrow mononuclear cells in a murine acute liver failure modelJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 18 - Trang 397-405 - 2010
Shi-Zhu Jin, Xiang-Wei Meng, Xun Sun, Ming-Zi Han, Bing-Rong Liu, Xin-Hong Wang, Feng-Hua Pei
Bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) transplantation has been shown to facilitate tissue and organ regeneration and repair. BMMC transplantation may be a potential therapy for acute liver failure, and its effect might be further improved. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays an important role in liver cell development, and may ameliorate hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis in animal models. We therefore ...... hiện toàn bộ
Liver functional reserve estimation: state of the art and relevance for local treatmentsJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences - Tập 17 - Trang 380-384 - 2009
Sheung Tat Fan
Liver function reserve estimation is important for selecting the appropriate patients for hepatectomy or ablation of tumors. Many liver function tests have been devised, but the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test remains the most popular for its simplicity and perhaps accuracy. Compared with the Child–Pugh classification, the ICG retention value at 15 min (ICGR-15) after intravenous injection ...... hiện toàn bộ

In 2007, the Tokyo Guidelines for the management of acute cholangitis and cholecystitis (TG07) were first published in the Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery. The fundamental policy of TG07 was to achieve the objectives of TG07 through the development of consensus among specialists in this field throughout the world. Considering such a situation, validation and feedback from the clinicia...... hiện toàn bộ
