“Intrapericardial Approach” for Venous Outflow Reconstruction in Living‐Donor Liver Transplantation for Budd‐Chiari Syndrome: Surgical Techniques and LongTerm Outcomes

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Unlike deceased‐donor liver transplantation, living‐donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for Budd‐Chiari Syndrome (BCS) presents distinctive challenges in hepatic venous (HV)‐outflow reconstruction because diseased HV–inferior vena cava (IVC) cannot be entirely replaced with healthy donor vessels.

Gpr48 deficiency induces polycystic kidney lesions and renal fibrosis in mice by activating Wnt signal pathway.

PLoS ONE, 2014
G protein-coupled receptor 48 (Gpr48/Lgr4) is essential to regulate the development of multiple tissues in mice. The notion that Gpr48 functions in renal development prompted us to investigate the relation between Gpr48 and renal diseases.

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

Congenital hepatic fibrosis and its mimics: a clinicopathologic study of 19 cases at a single institution

Diagnostic Pathology, 2021
Background Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is a rare inherited form of ductal plate malformation associated with polycystic kidney disease. The diagnosis requires histopathologic confirmation, but can be challenging to distinguish from other undefined ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Essential embryology for the Canadian pathologists’ assistant

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Pathologists' assistants (PAs) are pivotal in healthcare, conducting autopsies and examining tissues under a pathologist's guidance. Embryology knowledge is crucial for PAs to accurately assess anomalies and identify pathologies. Yet, it is often overlooked in academic PA training programs.

Roles of histone lysine methylation in neurodevelopment and related disorders

Ibrain, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract centers on the theme of dynamic balance and systematically outlines the role of histone lysine methylation in neurodevelopment and related disorders. The figure first presents two key classes of regulators that control this balance—“writers” and “erasers”—and then indicates how interactions among different epigenetic ...

Efficacy and related factors of levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine system combined with metformin in fertility‐preserving treatment for atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial cancer: A retrospective cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare the efficacy of the levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine system combined with metformin versus oral progestin combined with metformin in fertility‐preserving treatment for patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial cancer, and to analyze related factors affecting efficacy.
