Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of a histologic scoring system in congenital biliary atresia and its prognostic relevance. Methods: From January 2017 to June 2018 at Children's Hospital of Fudan University, 172 wedge liver biopsy specimens were obtained from infants with
The early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is associated with a better outcome after portoenterostomy. However, very early liver biopsy findings may appear atypical for BA and delay diagnosis. Repeat biopsy histology may change rapidly to show more typical OBJECTIVE
To grade histopathological parameters in biliary atresia (BA) and correlate it with advancing age and outcome.
METHODS
Liver and porta hepatis biopsies of 18 BA cases were graded for cholestasis (C), hepatocellular degeneration (HD), bile duct proliferation (BDP), bile duct fibrosis (BDF),
OBJECTIVE
To correlate the age at surgery, liver function tests, and hepatic and portal tract histo-pathological changes with surgical outcome in the form of disappearance of jaundice in extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA).
METHODS
This is a retrospective study of 39 cases of EHBA. There were 19
Noninfectious obliterative cholangitis results from biliary tract inflammation in clinical conditions such as biliary atresia and sclerosing cholangitis. The purpose of this study was to develop an animal model of noninfectious biliary tract inflammation and fibrosis. An implantable osmotic pump was
Biliary atresia can be fatal if surgery is not performed early. Laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy was recently introduced in our hospital. Despite laparoscopic surgery generally provides advantages, there are few studies of laparoscopic surgery performed in infants. We The congenital absence of the portal vein is a rare malformation, which has been generally discovered in association with another anomalies like a cardiac, gastrointestinal or genitourinary defects. With portal hypertension and hepatic cirrhosis, this anomaly is similar to spontaneous porto-systemic
OBJECTIVE
To describe the cardiac anomalies and outcome in the fetus with left atrial isomerism.
METHODS
All fetuses with a diagnosis of left atrial isomerism between 1998 and 2008 were identified. Gestational age at diagnosis, the nuchal translucency, the karyotype, the cardiac findings and outcome
BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2011, our hospital was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake. We report the rare case of a 5-month-old patient with hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), who survived the earthquake that occurred 3 days after the
BACKGROUND
Nonvisualization of the fetal gallbladder has been associated with benign conditions such as isolated gallbladder agenesis or severe diseases such as biliary atresia (BA). Recently, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP) fetal blood levels were reported as useful after 22
Treatment of the causes of many chronic liver diseases (CLDs) may not be possible. In this case, complications must be anticipated, prevented or at least controlled by the best available therapeutic modalities. There are three main goals for the management of portal hypertension: (i) prevention of
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to develop a model of fibrous cholangitis in the offspring of gravid domestic pigs through the administration of 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate (DITC).
METHODS
Six young domestic pigs and two gravid pigs with their offspring (21 pigs) were used as experimental
Hepatic formation of bile is critical to survival and is one of the most easily disrupted liver functions. Liver biopsy is performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis of cause, to exclude potential etiologies, or simply to assist in development of a differential diagnosis. Parenchymal changes of
Liver transplantation is often the only effective treatment for end stage liver diseases resulting from cirrhosis, hepatitis, progressive jaundice, and biliary atresia. Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) preservation may enhance donor pool by extending preservation time and reclaiming marginal
