Liver venous deprivation versus portal vein embolization before major hepatectomy: future liver remnant volumetric and functional changes
Boris Guiu, François Quenet, Fabrizio Panaro, Lauranne Piron, Christophe Cassinotto, Astrid Herrerro, François-Régis Souche, Margaux Hermida, Marie-Ange Pierredon-Foulongne, Ali Belgour, Serge Aho-Glele, Emmanuel Deshayes
Based on serial measurements, liver venous deprivation (embolization of both portal and hepatic vein(s)) gives greater volume and functional gain of the future liver remnant, as compared to portal vein embolization.

Limited potential of resolvin D1 in treatment of cholestatic liver fibrosis
Kerstin Abshagen, Alexander Hartmann, Laura Grüner, Marie Liebig, Brigitte Vollmar
Dietary supplementation of health-promoting n-3 PUFAs and their mediators may be promising therapeutic agents for chronic liver disease. However, the anti-inflammatory and ant-fibrotic potential of the DHA mediator resolvin D1 is limited in mice with cholestatic liver disease, as disease progression could not be prevented.

The beneficial effects of intermittent fasting: an update on mechanism, and the role of circadian rhythm and gut microbiota
Dandan Hu, Zhibo Xie, Yuqian Ye, Suhad Bahijri, Minshan Chen
The current situation of food surplus has made us aware of the dangers of metabolic syndrome, and of the health benefits of fasting. In particular, the intermittent fasting regimen values more via remodeling the circadian clock and gut microbiota.

Review Article on Imaging and HPB Surgery1

Use of imaging as staging and surgical planning for pancreatic surgery
Andrew Hieu Nguyen, Laleh G. Melstrom
Modern imaging modalities are indispensable in the pre-operative staging and surgical planning in pancreatic surgery. This review discusses staging and resectability, as well as the imaging modalities used in the pre-operative assessment of patients with pancreatic tumors.
Fluorescence-guided hepatobiliary surgery with long and short wavelength fluorophores
Thinzar M. Lwin, Robert M. Hoffman, Michael Bouvet
Fluorescence-guided surgery for hepatobiliary procedures is a relatively new and developing field. The approaches to use of fluorophores for clinical intra-operative image-guidance during HPB surgery is reviewed.
