RESUMO
Objective To analyze three-dimensional imaging characteristics and advantages for severe portal vein stenosis after liver transplantation, and to evaluate clinical efficacy of portal vein stent implantation. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients who received portal vein stent implantation for severe portal vein stenosis after liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Imaging characteristics of severe portal vein stenosis, and advantages of three-dimensional reconstruction imaging and interventional treatment efficacy for severe portal vein stenosis were analyzed. Results Among 10 patients, 3 cases were diagnosed with centripetal stenosis, tortuosity angulation-induced stenosis in 2 cases, compression-induced stenosis in 2 cases, long-segment stenosis and/or vascular occlusion in 3 cases. Three-dimensional reconstruction images possessed advantages in accurate identification of stenosis, identification of stenosis types and measurement of stenosis length. All patients were successfully implanted with portal vein stents. After stent implantation, the diameter of the minimum diameter of portal vein was increased [(6.2±0.9) mm vs. (2.6±1.7) mm, P<0.05], the flow velocity at anastomotic site was decreased [(57±19) cm/s vs. (128±27) cm/s, P<0.05], and the flow velocity at the portal vein adjacent to the liver was increased [(41±6) cm/s vs. (18±6) cm/s, P<0.05]. One patient suffered from intrahepatic hematoma caused by interventional puncture, which was mitigated after conservative observation and treatment. The remaining patients did not experience relevant complications. Conclusions Three-dimensional visualization technique may visually display the location, characteristics and severity of stenosis, which is beneficial for clinicians to make treatment decisions and assist interventional procedures. Timely implantation of portal vein stent may effectively reverse pathological process and improve portal vein blood flow.
RESUMO
[Abstract] Objective To investigate the branching pattern of the ureteric bud and the number of the nephron induced by each ureteric bud tip, through the three-dimensional tracing of the ureteric tree, combined with the morphological analysis and measurement of the ureteric tree. Methods The kidneys were obtained from three mice at various developing time points and prepared for paraffin and epoxy sections. Then the microscopic images were digitized and aligned from these sections. Based on the computer-assisted tracing and visualization of ureteric tree, the number of branches and the nephron induced by each ureteric bud tip were obtained by counting. In addition, paraffin sections were stained with HE staining for morphological observation of nephrogenic zone and ureteric bud, while in order to reflect the density of the ureteric bud tips at nephrogenic zone, the distance between two neighboring ureteric bud tips was measured aided with the Claudin-7 immunohistochemical staining. Results The ureteric bud branching tree revealed that the initial bifid iterative branching formed the framework of renal medulla, the branching became complicated and dense in cortex and nephrogenic zone, while the distance between ureteric bud tips were also decreasing. The number of the nephron induced by each ureteric bud tip increased from one (E14. 5) to two (E17. 5), and occasionally to three. Conclusion Threedimeasional Visualization of ureteric bud branching tree reveals regional complication, suggesting molecules in different regions drive different branching patterns; While the density of the ureteric bud tips at nephrogenic zone increases corresponding to decreasing of thickness of the nephrogenic zone, and the disappearance of the ureteric bud tips after birth is also consistent with the gradual consumption of nephron progenitor cells.

Objective:To study the use of three-dimensional (3D) visualization in diagnosis and interventional treatment of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) presenting with inferior vena cava obstruction and dangerous collateral branches.Methods:The data of 28 patients with BCS presenting with inferior vena cava obstruction and dangerous collateral branches treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from September 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 17 females with a mean age of 49.0 years. Enhanced MR images of these 28 patients were used to build 3D visualization of inferior vena cava. Anteroposterior and left lateral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of inferior vena cava were performed. The inferior vena cava of these patients was recanalized under guidance of 3D visualization, and patency of inferior vena cava was determined on follow up.Results:3D visualization of inferior vena cava was successfully constructed in all the 28 patients, and 51 dangerous collateral branches were displayed. One, 2, 3 and 4 dangerous collateral branches were found in 13, 8, 6 and 1 patients, respectively. The average angle between the preoperative planning puncture route and the long axis of the proximal end of inferior vena cava was 22.2°. The orifices and courses of the dangerous collaterals and the shape of inferior vena cava could be clearly displayed on 3D visualization in all the 28 patients (100.0%), which were significantly better than the 6 patients (21.4%) using DSA obtained in the anteroposterior and left lateral positions (χ 2=20.045, P<0.05). The inferior vena cava was successfully recanalized in all the 28 patients without complications. On follow up of these patients for 2 to 30 months (mean 18.4 months), the inferior vena cava was patent in 25 patients. Three patients developed inferior vena cava re-obstruction at 3, 4 and 14 months after interventional treatment, respectively. Conclusion:3D visualization was useful in the diagnosis and interventional treatment of patients with BCS presenting with inferior vena cava obstruction and dangerous collateral branches.

Thin-section CT data of the patients were collected for 3D reconstruction and 3D printing, and the 3D printed models were used for observing the 3D relationship of tumor with the intrahepatic bile duct, hepatic artery, portal vein and hepatic vein system and for performing preoperative simulated surgery and surgical planning. The 3D printed models were subsequently used for real-time intraoperative navigation to guide surgeries in the operating room.@*RESULTS@#3D visualization models were successfully reconstructed for all the 10 patients and printed into 3D models. The 3D visualization types in Bismuth-Corlette classification included type Ⅲa (4 cases), type Ⅲb (4 cases), and type Ⅳ (2 cases); 4 patients showed portal vein variation, 3 had hepatic artery variation, and 2 had both portal vein and hepatic artery variations. Two patients were found to have trifurcation type of portal vein variation, one had "I-shaped" variation, and one showed the absence of the right anterior branch of the portal vein; 3 patients had hepatic artery variations with the left hepatic artery originating from the left gastric artery (1 case) and the right hepatic artery originating from the superior mesenteric artery (2 cases). Four patients with type Ⅲb underwent left hepatectomy; 4 with type Ⅲa received right hepatectomy; 1 patient with of type Ⅳ received peripheral hepatic resection and another underwent left hepatectomy. The results of preoperative 3D reconstruction, 3D printed model and preoperative planning were consistent with the intraoperative findings. The operative time was 452±75.12 min with a mean intraoperative blood loss of 356±62.35 mL and a mean hospital stay of 15 ± 4.61 days in these cases. One patient had bile leakage and 3 patients had pleural effusion postoperatively, and they were discharged after drainage and medications. No liver failure or death occurred in these cases perioperatively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#3D visualization and 3D printing can facilitate accurate preoperative assessment, surgical planning and surgical procedure optimization for Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅲ and Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma to improve surgical safety and reduce surgical risks especially in cases of intrahepatic vascular variations.

RESUMO
Computer-assisted combined indocyanine green (ICG) molecular fluorescence imaging technology can be used for preoperative planning and intraoperative detection from three-dimensional (3D) morphological anatomy and level of cellular function to guide the anatomical, functional and radical hepatectomy of liver tumor. This technology has received wide acceptance and has shown important diagnostic and therapeutic value. This guideline is intended to standardize the application of computer-assisted combined ICG molecular fluorescence imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors in the following aspects: (1) the workflow of 3D visualization technology; (2) the mechanism and application flow of ICG molecular fluorescence imaging; (3) clinical application of 3D visualization technology and virtual reality technology; and (4) clinical application of ICG molecular fluorescence imaging. ICG molecular fluorescence imaging can help to define tumor boundary, determine hepatic segment and hepatic lobectomy tangent at the molecular and cellular level, and detect small lesions or metastases. According to the fluorescence signal characteristics of liver tumors and combined with rapid frozen pathological examination during operation, the differentiation degree of liver space-occupying lesions (such as primary liver cancer) can be preliminarily determined, and residual tumors and biliary leakage on the hepatic section can be detected after hepatectomy. Computer-assisted ICG molecular fluorescence imaging in the diagnosis and surgical navigation of liver tumors provides a new approach to digital diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors. With its development in clinical practice and the technological innovation, this technology will be further improved to allow more accurate diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors.

Students-teacher satisfaction degree in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#Using mixed reality technology to construct a three-dimensional visualization model and to implement hepatobiliary surgery teaching enables the trainees to better master anatomical key points in the hepatobiliary system and the hepatobiliary surgical approach, with good feedback.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the application value of Revolution CT combining three -dimensional visualization technique in the precision resection of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods Totally 12 patients with surgical treatment and pathologically confirmed hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in Qinghai Provincial People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent the Revolution CT plain and enhancement scan before surgery, and the 0.625 millimeter scan data were obtained. The DICOM format data were imported into MI-3DVS for three-dimensional reconstruction, simulated cutting, volume measurement, and surgical planning. Results The data of 12 patients were reconstructed successfully, and the sizes and locations of the lesions as well as the hepatic vascular systems were clearly displayed. The liver volume, hydatid volume, simulated resection volume, and residual liver ratio were measured accurately. The average whole liver volume and the lesion volume of the 11 surgical treated patients were (2 429.8 ± 335.9) mL and (919.6 ± 262.8) mL respectively. The average actually removed volume was highly associated with the average simulated resection volume (r = 0.979, P < 0.01). Conclusion Revolution CT combining three-dimensional visualization technique can achieve accurate diagnosis as well as optimal surgical planning before operation, which is of great value for the precision resection of difficult hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the value of the three-dimensional visualization technology for the preoperative assessment of liver autotransplantation for end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis. Methods A total of 8 patients with end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis undergoing liver autotransplantation in Qinghai Provincial People’s Hospital from May 2013 to July 2017 were collected. All cases received preoperative abdominal CT scanning and dynamic three-phase enhanced CT scanning, and the original CT data were transferred to the human 3D visualization virtual surgical planning system. The volumes of Echinococcus multilocularis and pre-resected liver were measured using the 3D visualization reconstruction, and the relationship between the lesion and the neighboring tissues was observed. The value of the 3D visualization technology for the preoperative assessment of liver autotransplantation for end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis was assessed by comparing with the intraoperative findings. Results The 3D visualization reconstruction model clearly displayed the adjacent relationship between the lesions of end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis and the neighboring tissues, and no significant difference was seen between the pre-resected liver volume in 3D visualization reconstruction model and the actually resected liver volume (t = 1.083, P > 0.05). Conclusions 3D visualization technology is feasible to develop a reasonable scheme for liver resection and vascular anastomosis for end-stage hepatic alveolar echinococcosis prior to liver autotransplantation, which may increase the success of surgery and improve the prognosis.
