This study revealed the real-world condition of peripancreatic vascular involvement (PVI) in patients with type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and described independent predictors of PVI development in AIP patients. The follow-up showed majority of PVI lesions achieved an improvement after corticosteroid treatment.

The favorable biological scenario associated with laparoscopy allows to obtain significant benefits in the setting of complex procedures, constituting the prerequisite for adequate surgical outcome. The effort should be to maximize the laparoscopic approach in high complexity procedures by implementing surgical technique and perioperative management.

We validate postoperative liver failure (PHLFS) and mortality risk scores (POMRS) after liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, which was established by Western cohort, by Eastern cohort. This external validation study showed that for PHLFS the threshold for discrimination, but the POMRS were not applicable.
Impact of pathological response after preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on incidences of microvascular invasion and early tumor recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma: a multicenter propensity score matching analysis

Our study indicated pathological responses (PR) ≥90% was an independent protective factor of incidences of MVI and prognosis; while PR<60% was an independent risk factor of incidences of MVI and prognosis. Patients with PR <60% were more likely to develop multiple recurrences.
