Article Abstract

Background: Pediatric liver tumors are predominantly primary malignant tumors, and complete tumor resection with sufficient preservation of liver tissue is crucial for improving prognosis. However, due to the delicate anatomical structure of the pediatric liver and the relatively large size of the tumors, especially in difficult cases, the surgical challenges are substantial. While precision liver surgery are widely applied in clinical practice, pediatric cases require more customized approaches. The application of three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology is crucial for enhancing surgical accuracy, allowing for precise preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance.

Methods: This consensus was collaboratively developed by 36 experts from eight countries, using the Glaser's state-of-the-art method to review and refine the draft.

Results: The final consensus resulted in 15 international multidisciplinary consensus recommendations on clinical application of 3D visualization in precision surgery for pediatric liver tumors.

Conclusion: This consensus will standardize the application of 3D visualization technology in precision surgery for pediatric liver tumors to improve outcomes and reduce risks.

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) causes mild to severe disease in livestock and humans. It was first identified in 1931 during an epizootic in Kenya and has spread across Africa and into the Middle East. Hematopoietic cells are one of the major targets of RVFV ; however, their contribution to RVFV pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.

Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.

Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.

Background: Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a vitamin A transport protein synthesized in the liver and also plays a crucial role in inflammation and immune regulation. Low serum vitamin A levels have been observed in both pediatric and adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The association between serum vitamin A levels and serum RBP4 levels, as well as the underlying mechanism involved inimpaired vitamin A transport during inflammation in UC patients, has yet to been investigated.

Aims: Many patients develop Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) after undergoing the Fontan procedure-a surgical treatment for congenital heart disease such as single ventricle-owing to changes in venous pressure and cardiac output. Liver biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing FALD, but has limitations. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a popular non-invasive method for evaluating liver stiffness and fibrosis in FALD; however, no unified view exists.

Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder characterized by intractable seizures responsive to pyridoxine. We present the case of an 11-day-old female neonate with a history of refractory multifocal seizures beginning on day three of life, accompanied by hepatomegaly, metabolic acidosis, elevated serum ammonia and lactate, and abnormal liver function tests. Despite multiple antiepileptic and metabolic treatments, seizures persisted, and the infant developed progressive metabolic disturbances.
