The Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition (HBSN) is now indexed in PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC), two important and extensive biomedical digital databases, which means authors publishing in HBSN will enjoy maximum exposure of their research. HBSN would like to express sincere gratitude for the continued and vigorous support and contributions from all the editorial board members, authors, reviewers and readers.

It is my great pleasure to announce here that a new column by the name of ‘Meet the Professor’, after long preparation by our editorial staff, is now launching in this issue (Vol.2, No.3, June 2013), and will continue as a bi-monthly column.
