Attempts to Establish a Helicobacter bilis Biliary Tract Infection Model via Oral Administration of Helicobacter bilis Open
Background Although several studies have reported an association between Helicobacter bilis (H. bilis) and human biliary tract cancer, in vivo studies are necessary to further assess this phenomenon. In this study, we develop…

Association Between Distance to the Transplant Center and Survival Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation Open
Aim To determine whether the distance from home to our transplant center affects posttransplant survival in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation. Methods Data from 301 adult patients who underwent primary living donor liv…

Amebic Liver Abscess in a Patient with Polycystic Liver Disease: A Case Report Open
For high-risk patients with complex hepatic cysts of uncertain cause, begin with percutaneous aspiration and targeted fluid analyses-including testing for E. histolytica-before invasive surgery; this lowers operative risk and aids d…

Living Donor Liver Transplantation with Small Left Lobe Grafts: Prospective Validation of Utility of Splenectomy in Selected Recipients Open
BACKGROUND We previously reported that the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and donor age are risk factors for small-for-size syndrome in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) involving small grafts. Since April 202…

Arterial Reconstruction Using the Right Gastroepiploic Artery in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Experience Open
BACKGROUND Recipient hepatic arteries are generally used for arterial reconstructions in living donor liver transplantation. When the hepatic arteries are not feasible, the right gastroepiploic artery is one of the options for arterial rec…

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy for circumportal pancreas: literature review and report of two type IIIA cases Open
Background Circumportal pancreas is a rare morphological variant with clinical significance due to the high risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Type IIIA (suprasplenic anteportal) is the…

Position of meristems and the angles of the cell division plane regulate the uniqueness of lateral organ shape Open
Leaf meristem is a cell proliferative zone present in the lateral organ primordia. In this study, we examined how cell proliferative zones in primordia of planar floral organs and polar auxin transport inhibitor (PATI)-treated leaf organs …

Auxin and cytokinin control fate determination of cotyledons in the one-leaf plant Monophyllaea glabra Open
One-leaf plants in the Gesneriaceae family initially have two cotyledons of identical size; one cotyledon stops growing shortly after germination, whereas the other continues indeterminate growth. Factors involved in the unequal growth hav…

Expression Profiles of ANGUSTIFOLIA3 and SHOOT MERISTEMLESS, Key Genes for Meristematic Activity in a One-Leaf Plant Monophyllaea glabra, Revealed by Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization Open
Members of the genus Monophyllaea are unique in that they produce no new organ during the vegetative phase in the shoot; instead, one of the cotyledons grows indeterminately. The mechanism of this unique trait is unclear, in part be…

One‐leaf plants in the Gesneriaceae: Natural mutants of the typical shoot system Open
The aerial part of seed plants is called the shoot, which is composed of stems, leaves, and axial buds. These are produced by indeterminate activity in the shoot apical meristem ( SAM ), whereas the morphogenesis of leaves depends on deter…
