Magnetic Resonance Elastography and Portal Hypertension: Influence of the Portal Venous Flow on the Liver Stiffness [PDF]

open access: yesStem Cells and Regenerative Medicine -- the 9th International Europe-China Symposium, Strasbourg 2-4 Oct 2019, In press, 2020
The invasive measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is still considered as the reference method to assess the severity of portal hypertension. Even though previous studies have shown that the liver stiffness measured by elastography could predict portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease, the mechanisms behind remain today

Towards Simultaneous Segmentation of Liver Tumors and Intrahepatic Vessels via Cross-attention Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Accurate visualization of liver tumors and their surrounding blood vessels is essential for noninvasive diagnosis and prognosis prediction of tumors. In medical image segmentation, there is still a lack of in-depth research on the simultaneous segmentation of liver tumors and peritumoral blood vessels. To this end, we collect the first liver tumor, and

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Diagnosis and Management of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhosis

open access: yesThe Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy
Portal vein thrombosis is formation of thrombus in main portal vein and its branches, that may also affect superior or mesenteric veins. Rebalanced coagulation system and changes in hepatic portal venous flow augment risk of portal vein thrombosis ...

TopNet: Topology Preserving Metric Learning for Vessel Tree Reconstruction and Labelling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Reconstructing Portal Vein and Hepatic Vein trees from contrast enhanced abdominal CT scans is a prerequisite for preoperative liver surgery simulation. Existing deep learning based methods treat vascular tree reconstruction as a semantic segmentation problem.

“Therapies Through Gut:” Targeted Drug Delivery for Non‐Gastrointestinal Diseases by Oral Administration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Massive portal vein tumor thrombus from colorectal cancer without any metastatic nodules in the liver parenchyma: report of a case

open access: yesRare Tumors, 2011
Metastatic lesions in the liver derived from colorectal cancer rarely invade the portal vein macroscopically. Portal vein tumor thrombus is commonly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.
