BACKGROUND/AIMS: Certain prognostic factors affect the postoperative mortality and long-term survival of patients following hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and may change the surgical strategy. METHODOLOGY: 209 consecutive patients underwent hepatic resection for HCC in our hospital. Seventy-three patients underwent major resection and 136 underwent minor resections.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a day-case procedure in a French university hospital. METHODS: Since the creation of a surgical day-care centre in 1999, patients without severe chronic disease and anticoagulant therapy were selected for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. They were admitted and operated...<br/><br/>Jan Martin Proske, Ibrahim Dagher, Claudiu Revitea, Alessio Carloni, Violaine Beauthier, Thierry Labaille, Corinne Vons, Dominique Franco (2007) <i>Gastroenterol Clin Biol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 31: 4 421-424<br/>

BACKGROUND: Hepatocyte transplantation could be an alternative to whole liver transplantation for the treatment of metabolic liver diseases. However, the results of clinical investigations suggest that the number of engrafted hepatocytes was insufficient to correct metabolic disorders. This may partly result from a lack of proliferation of transplanted hepatocytes. In rodents, portal ligation enha...<br/><br/>Ibrahim Dagher, Lyes Boudechiche, Julie Branger, Aurore Coulomb-Lhermine, Alexandre Parouchev, Loïc Sentilhes, Tao Lin, Marie-Thérèse Groyer-Picard, Corinne Vons, Michelle Hadchouel, Danièle Pariente, Marion Andreoletti, Dominique Franco, Anne Weber (2006) <i>Transplantation</i> <i></i> <i></i> 82: 8 1067-1073<br/>

BACKGROUND: The in vivo transduction of hepatocytes with conventional retrovirus vectors requires the induction of cell division and this can currently only be achieved by invasive surgery or by inducing severe liver damage.

The main impediment to effective ex vivo liver gene therapy of metabolic diseases is the lack of experimental work on large animals to resolve such important issues as effective gene delivery, cell-processing techniques, and the development of appropriate vectors.

BACKGROUND. There is no agreement on the management of patients with cirrhosis and recurrent variceal bleeding after failure of medical or endoscopic treatments or both. Portal systemic shunts are highly effective in preventing rebleeding but are associated with a high incidence of chronic encephalopathy. This study compared the results of a slightly modified Sugiura procedure (esophageal transect...<br/><br/>G Borgonovo, M Costantini, D Grange, C Vons, C Smadja, D Franco (1996) <i>Surgery</i> <i></i> <i></i> 119: 2 214-221<br/>

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is the more potent mitogen of mature hepatocytes. We have examined the effect of human HGF expression by a recombinant retroviral cell line (MFG-LacZ) on retroviral transduction of primary mouse and human hepatocytes. The HGF in the supernatant of MFG-LacZ cell line was correctly processed and biologically active.

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: Activation of hepatocyte hormonal receptors leads to the mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ which is thought to be an elaborate system for encoding hormonal messages. We studied hormone-induced calcium signals in freshly isolated multicellular systems of normal rat and human hepatocytes. Calcium signals were recorded by videomicroscopy after stimulation with noradrenaline, ...<br/><br/>T Tordjmann, L Combettes, B Berthon, C Vons, D Franco, M Claret (1995) <i>Gastroenterol Clin Biol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 19: 12 980-990<br/>

The ex vivo approach to hepatic gene therapy involves several steps, which include the isolation and culture of hepatocytes, followed by their transduction with a retrovirus. Subsequently, autologous hepatocytes are transplanted. The number of hepatocytes that can be transduced by retroviruses bearing the therapeutic gene is one of the limiting steps that can impair the success of this strategy.

Almost 10% of patients with cirrhosis and ascites develop intractable ascites. When large-volume paracentesis fails to relieve ascites, patients may be submitted to one of the three following surgical options: portosystemic shunting, peritoneovenous shunting, or liver transplantation.
