| 3 | Analysis of surgical and perioperative complications in seventy-five right hepatectomies for living donor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM: To present an analysis of the surgical and perioperative complications in a series of seventy- five right hepatectomies for living-donation (RHLD) performed in our center. METHODS: From January 2002 to September 2007, we performed 75 RHLD, defined as removal of a portion of the liver corresponding to Couinaud segments 5-8, in order to obtain a graft for adult to adult living-related liver transplantation (ALRLT). Surgical complications were stratified according to the most recent version of the Clavien classification of postoperative surgical complications. The perioperative period was defined as within 90 d of surgery. RESULTS: No living donor mortality was present in this series, no donor operation was aborted and no donors received any blood transfusion. Twenty- three (30.6%) living donors presented one or more episodes of complication in the perioperative period. Seven patients (9.33%) out of 75 developed biliary complications, which were the most common complications in our series.CONCLUSION: The need to define, categorize and record complications when healthy individuals, such as living donors, undergo a major surgical procedure, such as a right hepatectomy, reflects the need for prompt and detailed reports of complications arising in this particular category of patient. Perioperative complications and post resection liver regeneration are not influenced by anatomic variations or patient demographic. | Salvatore Gruttadauria James Wallis Marsh Giovan Battista Vizzini Fabrizio di Francesco Angelo Luca Riccardo Volpes Amadeo Marcos Bruno Gridelli | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,20: | 7 |

| 5 | Endoscopic treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in patients who undergo OLTx or LRLTx and develop biliary complications. METHODS:This is a prospective, observational study of patients who developed biliary complications, after OLTx and LRLTx, with duct-to-duct anastomosis performed between June 2003 and June 2007. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was considered unsuccessful when there was evidence of continuous bile leakage despite endoscopic stent placement, or persistence of stenosis after 1 year, despite multiple dilatation and stent placement. When the ERCP failed, a percutaneous trans-hepatic approach (PTC) or surgery was adopted. RESULTS: From June 2003 to June 2007, 261 adult patients were transplanted in our institute, 68 from living donors and 193 from cadaveric donors. In the OLTx group the rate of complications was 37.3%, while in the LRLTx group was 64.7%. The rate of ERCP failure was 19.4% in the OLTx group and 38.6% in LRLTx group. In OLTx group, 1 patient was re- transplanted and 8 patients died. In the LRLTx group, 2 patients underwent OLTx and 8 patients died. The follow-up was 23.3 ± 13.13 mo and 21.02 ± 14.10 mo, respectively.CONCLUSION: Although ERCP is quite an effective mode of managing post-transplant bile duct complications, a significant number of patients need other types of approach. Further prospective studies are necessary in order to establish whether other endoscopic protocols or new devices, could improve the current results. | Ilaria Tarantino Luca Barresi Ioannis Petridis Riccardo Volpes Mario Traina Bruno Gridelli | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,26: | 6 |
| 6 | Müller-Weiss disease:Four case reports显示文摘BACKGROUND Müller-Weiss disease(MWD)is an idiopathic foot condition characterized by spontaneous tarsal“scaphoiditis”in adults.Frequently bilateral and affecting females during the 4th-6th decades of life,the pathogenesis of MWD remains unclear:It has been traditionally considered a spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular.The typical presentation of MWD is a long period of subtle discomfort followed by prolonged standing,atraumatic,disabling pain.Currently,there is no gold standard for the treatment of patients with MWD.Most support initial conservative therapy.Operative treatment should be considered for failure of conservative therapies longer than 6 months.The indication for surgery is severity of symptoms rather than severity of deformities.Operative treatment options include core decompression,internal fixation of the tarsal navicular,open or arthroscopic triple fusion,talo-navicular or talo-navicular-cuneiform arthrodesis,and navicular excision with reconstruction of the medial column.CASE SUMMARY In this study,we report four patients affected by MWD.Clinical and radiographic assessment,follow-up and treatment are reported.CONCLUSION As it is frequently misdiagnosed,MWD is challenging for orthopedic surgeons.Early diagnosis and effective treatment are mandatory to avoid sequelae. | Antonio Volpe Luca Monestier Teresa Malara Giacomo Riva Giuseppe La Barbera Michele FrancescoSurace | 2020 | World Journal of Orthopedics2020,11,11: | 4 |
| 7 | Innovation attributes and managers'decisions about the adoption of innovations in organizations:A meta-analytical review显示文摘The adoption of innovations has emerged as one of the dominant research topic in the management of innovations in organizations,though investigations often yield mixed results.To help managers and researchers improve the effectiveness of their efforts,the authors employed meta-analysis integrated by structural equation modeling to analyze the associations between the attributes of innovations,behavioral preferences of managers and organizations'innovation adoption decisions in a mediated-moderated framework.Our findings offer evidences that attributes of innovations influence behavioral preferences of managers and,in turn,adoption decisions in organizations.We also observe that the context in which the adoption decision takes place and the research settings employed by scholars matter.Finally,the theoretical contribution and practical implications of our meta-analytical results are discussed. | Gianluca Vagnani Loredana Volpe | 2017 | International Journal of Innovation Studies2017,1,2: | 4 |

| 14 | A case of biliary stones and anastomotic biliary stricture after liver transplant treated with the rendez-vous technique and electrokinetic lithotritor显示文摘The paper studies the combined radiologic and endoscopic approach (rendez vous technique) to the treatment of the biliary complications following liver transplant. The 'rendez-vous' technique was used with an electrokinetic lithotripter, in the treatment of a biliary anastomotic stricture with multiple biliary stones in a patient who underwent orthotopic liver transplant. In this patient, endoscopic or percutaneous transhepatic management of the biliary complication failed. The combined approach, percutaneous transhepatic and endoscopic treatment (rendez-vous technique) with the use of an electrokinetic lithotritor, was used to solve the biliary stenosis and to remove the stones. Technical success, defined as disappearance of the biliary stenosis and stone removal, was obtained in just one session, which definitively solved the complications. The combined approach of percutaneous transhepatic and endoscopic (rendez-vous technique) treatment, in association with an electrokinetic lithotritor, is a safe and feasible alternative treatment, especially after the failure of endoscopic and/or percutaneous trans-hepatic isolated procedures. | Marta Di Pisa Mario Traina Roberto Miraglia Luigi Maruzzelli Riccardo Volpes Salvatore Piazza Angelo Luca Bruno Gridelli | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,18: | 2 |

| 18 | Right hepatic lobe living donation: A 12 years single Italian center experience显示文摘Mini invasive techniques are taking over conventional open liver resections in the setting of left lateral segmentectomy for living liver donation,and hydride procedure are being implemented for the living related right hepatectomy.Our center routinely performs laparoscopic left lateral segmentectomy for pediatric recipient and has been the first in the Europe performing an entirely robotic right hepatectomy.Great emphasis is posed on living donor safety which is the first priority during the entire operation,then the most majority of our procedures are still conventional open right hepatectomy(RHLD),defined as removal of a portion of liver corresponding to Couinaud segments 5-8,in order to obtain a graft for adult to adult living related liver transplant.During this 10 years period some changes,herein highlighted,have occurred to our surgical techniques.This study reports the largest Italian experience with RHLD,focused on surgical technique evolution over a 10 years period.Donor safety must be the first priority in right-lobe living-related donation:the categorization of complications of living donors,specially,after this'highly sensitive'procedure,reflects the need for prompt and detailed reports. | Salvatore Gruttadauria Duilio Pagano Davide Cintorino Antonio Arcadipane Mario Traina Riccardo Volpes Angelo Luca Giovanni Vizzini Bruno Gridelli Marco Spada | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,38: | 2 |
| 19 | Observation of the Crab Nebula with LHAASO-KM2A−a performance study显示文摘A sub-array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory(LHAASO),KM2A is mainly designed to observe a large fraction of the northern sky to hunt for γ-ray sources at energies above 10 TeV.Even though the detector construction is still underway,half of the KM2A array has been operating stably since the end of 2019.In this paper,we present the KM2A data analysis pipeline and the first observation of the Crab Nebula,a standard candle in very high energy γ-ray astronomy.We detect γ-ray signals from the Crab Nebula in both energy ranges of 10-100 TeV and>100 TeV with high significance,by analyzing the KM2A data of 136 live days between December 2019 and May 2020.With the observations,we test the detector performance,including angular resolution,pointing accuracy and cosmic-ray background rejection power.The energy spectrum of the Crab Nebula in the energy range 10-250 TeV fits well with a single power-law function dN/dE=(1.13±0.05stat±0.08sys)×10^(-14).(E/20 TeV)-309±0.06stat±0.02syscm^(-2) s^(-1) TeV^(-1).It is consistent with previous measurements by other experiments.This opens a new window of γ-ray astronomy above 0.1 PeV through which new ultrahigh-energy γ-ray phenomena,such as cosmic PeVatrons,might be discovered. | F.Aharonian Q.An Axikegu L.X.Bai Y.X.Bai Y.W.Bao D.Bastieri X.J.Bi Y.J.Bi H.Cai J.T.Cai Z.Cao J.Chang J.F.Chang X.C.Chang B.M.Chen J.Chen L.Chen M.J.Chen M.L.Chen Q.H.Chen S.H.Chen S.Z.Chen T.L.Chen X.L.Chen Y.Chen N.Cheng Y.D.Cheng S.W.Cui X.H.Cui Y.D.Cui B.Z.Dai H.L.Dai Z.G.Dai D.della Volpe B.D'Ettorre Piazzoli X.J.Dong J.H.Fan Y.Z.Fan Z.X.Fan J.Fang K.Fang C.F.Feng L.Feng S.H.Feng Y.L.Feng B.Gao C.D.Gao Q.Gao W.Gao M.M.Ge L.S.Geng G.H.Gong Q.B.Gou M.H.Gu J.G.Guo X.L.Guo Y.Q.Guo Y.Y.Guo Y.A.Han H.H.He H.N.He J.C.He S.L.He X.B.He Y.He M.Heller Y.K.Hor C.Hou X.Hou H.B.Hu S.Hu S.C.Hu X.J.Hu D.H.Huang Q.L.Huang W.H.Huang X.T.Huang Z.C.Huang F.Ji X.L.Ji H.Y.Jia K.Jiang Z.J.Jiang C.Jin D.Kuleshov K.Levochkin B.B.Li C.Li F.Li H.B.Li H.C.Li H.Y.Li J.Li K.Li W.L.Li X.Li X.R.Li Y.Li Y.Z.Li Z.Li E.W.Liang Y.F.Liang S.J.Lin B.Liu C.Liu D.Liu H.Liu H.D.Liu J.Liu J.L.Liu J.S.Liu J.Y.Liu M.Y.Liu R.Y.Liu S.M.Liu W.Liu Y.N.Liu Z.X.Liu W.J.Long R.Lu H.K.Lv B.Q.Ma L.L.Ma X.H.Ma J.R.Mao A.Masood W.Mitthumsiri T.Montaruli Y.C.Nan B.Y.Pang P.Pattarakijwanich Z.Y.Pei M.Y.Qi D.Ruffolo V.Rulev A.Sáiz L.Shao O.Shchegolev X.D.Sheng J.R.Shi H.C.Song Yu.V.Stenkin V.Stepanov Q.N.Sun X.N.Sun Z.B.Sun P.H.T.Tam Z.B.Tang W.W.Tian B.D.Wang C.Wang H.Wang H.G.Wang J.C.Wang J.S.Wang L.P.Wang L.Y.Wang R.N.Wang W.Wang X.G.Wang X.J.Wang X.Y.Wang Y.D.Wang Y.J.Wang Y.P.Wang Z.Wang Z.H.Wang Z.X.Wang D.M.Wei J.J.Wei Y.J.Wei T.Wen C.Y.Wu H.R.Wu S.Wu W.X.Wu X.F.Wu S.Q.Xi J.Xia J.J.Xia G.M.Xiang G.Xiao H.B.Xiao G.G.Xin Y.L.Xin Y.Xing D.L.Xu R.X.Xu L.Xue D.H.Yan C.W.Yang F.F.Yang J.Y.Yang L.L.Yang M.J.Yang R.Z.Yang S.B.Yang Y.H.Yao Z.G.Yao Y.M.Ye L.Q.Yin N.Yin X.H.You Z.Y.You Y.H.Yu Q.Yuan H.D.Zeng T.X.Zeng W.Zeng Z.K.Zeng M.Zha X.X.Zhai B.B.Zhang H.M.Zhang H.Y.Zhang J.L.Zhang J.W.Zhang L.Zhang L.X.Zhang P.F.Zhang P.P.Zhang R.Zhang S.R.Zhang S.S.Zhang X.Zhang X.P.Zhang Y.Zhang Y.F.Zhang Y.L.Zhang B.Zhao J.Zhao L.Zhao L.Z.Zhao S.P.Zhao F.Zheng Y.Zheng B.Zhou H.Zhou J.N.Zhou P.Zhou R.Zhou X.X.Zhou C.G.Zhu F.R.Zhu H.Zhu K.J.Zhu X.Zuo | 2021 | Chinese Physics C2021,45,2: | 2 |
| 20 | Percutaneous transarterial embolization of extrahepatic arteroportal fistula显示文摘Arteroportal fi stula is a rare cause of prehepatic portal hypertension. A 44-year-old male with hepatitis virus C infection was admitted for acute variceal bleeding. Endoscopy showed the presence of large esophageal varices. The ultrasound revealed a mass near the head of pancreas, which was characterized at the color- Doppler by a turbulent ? ow, and arterialization of portal vein ? ow. CT scan of abdomen showed a large aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery communicating into the superior mesenteric vein. The sinusoidal portal pressure measured as hepatic vein pressure gradient was normal, confi rming the pre-hepatic origin of portal hypertension. The diagnosis of extrahepatic portal hypertension secondary to arteroportal fistula was established, and the percutaneous embolization was performed. Three months later, the endoscopy showed absence of esophageal varices and ascites. At the moment, the patient is in good clinical condition, without signs of portal hypertension. | Gianluca Marrone Settimo Caruso Roberto Miraglia Ilaria Tarantino Riccardo Volpes Angelo Luca | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,34: | 2 |
