Sun Young Ahn, Soo Young Park, Won Young Tak, Yu Rim Lee, Eun Jeong Kang, Jung Gil Park, Won Kee Lee, Kwan Lee, Young Oh Kweon – 13 September 2014 – New definitions and criteria were released at the Baveno V consensus meeting. The purposes of this study were to verify Baveno V definitions and criteria for failure to control bleeding and to determine the usefulness of the combined use of the Adjusted Blood Requirement Index [ABRI: (number of blood units)/(final hematocrit‐initial hematocrit)+0.01] with Baveno V criteria.

Yasuo Takashima, Maiko Terada, Masuyo Kawabata, Atsushi Suzuki – 12 September 2014 – During liver development, biliary epithelial cells differentiated from bipotential hepatic progenitor cells (hepatoblasts) form a cell layer, called the ductal plate surrounding portal veins (PVs), and develop into intrahepatic bile ducts (IBDs) following developmental programs. Because IBDs make duct structures in the liver, it is necessary to perform sequential and three‐dimensional (3D) analyses from the early stages of liver development to address the process of morphogenesis in detail.

Heim, Thomas Pietschmann, Karsten Feige, Eike Steinmann – 12 September 2014 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has a very narrow species and tissue tropism and efficiently replicates only in humans and the chimpanzee. Recently, several studies identified close relatives to HCV in different animal species.

Annalisa Berzigotti, Maria Reig, Juan G. Abraldes, Jaime Bosch, Jordi Bruix – 12 September 2014 – Whether preoperative clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) has or not an impact on the outcome of surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with compensated cirrhosis is debated. This systematic review assesses the impact of CSPH on the outcome of HCC in patients with compensated cirrhosis treated with surgery.
