Toru Ikegami,Huanlin Wang,Daisuke Imai,Yuki Bekki,Tomoharu Yoshizumi,Yo-ichi Yamashita,Takeo Toshima,Yuji Soejima,Ken Shirabe,Yoshihiko Maehara +9 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that opened round ligaments can be used safely as venous patch grafts in LDLT and detected no thrombosis at the implant sites after LDLT.

TL;DR: Clinopathologic factors differentiating multicentric HCCs from intrahepatic metastatic H CCs were the presence of hepatitis C virus infection, a platelet count of less than 10 × 104/μl, tumor size, and low histologic grade.
p62 Promotes Amino Acid Sensitivity of mTOR Pathway and Hepatic Differentiation in Adult Liver Stem/Progenitor Cells
M. Sugiyama,Tomoharu Yoshizumi,Yoshihiro Yoshida,Yuki Bekki,Yoshihiro Matsumoto,Shohei Yoshiya,Takeo Toshima,Toru Ikegami,Shinji Itoh,Norifumi Harimoto,Shinji Okano,Yuji Soejima,Ken Shirabe,Yoshihiko Maehara +13 more
TL;DR: The findings indicated that promoting amino acid sensitivity of the mTOR pathway is dependent on p62 accumulated by inhibition of autophagy and that this process plays an important role in the hepatic differentiation of stem/progenitor cells.
