Liver
Database

Typical cases

The typical cases in this platform collected from global medical centers include digital liver models for rare variation of normal liver anatomy and common diseases, such as adult liver tumor, pediatric liver tumor, pancreatic lesion, splenic lesion, biliaxy lesion, hepatic vascular diseases as well as some rare liver diseases (Siamese twins, liver trauma, physical and chemical toxicity liver injury, post- transplant liver etc.), which provides a platform to further understand liver diseases and exhibit the achievement in exploring liver diseases.

The platform updates the digital liver models of typical cases regularly and are open to the public for free, providing learning resources for medical worker. The specific digital liver models can be got by setting corresponding retrieved conditions and provide effective support for clinic and scientific research.

Congenital Biliary Dilatation

Congenital Biliary Dilatation

Congenital Biliary Dilatation is the most common form of congenital biliary malformation. The lesion mainly refers to the cystic or fusiform expansion of the bile duct, sometimes accompanied by a congenital malformation of the intrahepatic bile duct dilatation.

Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer

The specific classification of pancreatic neoplasm depends on the patient age group. Pediatric pancreatic neoplasm is a kind of rare diseases and mainly occurs in the body or tail of the pancreas with few clinical manifestations. Pancreatic cyst-solid papilloma is more common among young women. The incidence of pancreatic carcinoma is higher in elder and has increased significantly in recent years. This neoplasm mainly occurs in the head of pancreas. Pancreas has complex anatomical structures and adjoining relationships. The swelling and infiltrative growth and metastasis of neoplastic lesion normally destroyed the pancreas, the biliary system, portal system, liver, spleen, retroperitoneal vascular system, etc. seriously, which makes the pancreatic surgery one of the most challenging surgeries.

Portal Hypertension

Portal Hypertension

Portal hypertension is a group of clinical syndromes caused by the continuously increasing pressure of portal vein system resulting from increase of portal vein resistance or portal venous flow. Some scholars summarize the etiology of portal hypertension as hepatocyte injury and vascular. Portal hypertension occurs in adult and children. The clinical manifestations include gastric fundus esophageal varices, ascites, splenic and high dynamic circulation states. Further deterioration may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding, hypersplenism function, peritoneal infection, or even hepatic encephalopathy and thus threaten the life. There are various treatment methods of this disease due to the complex etiology and pathogenesis of this disease. Two main therapy are direct decompression of portal hypertension and the therapy of bypass circulation. The former one is commonly used for adults while the latter one is used of children. Specific treatment plans must be determined critically.

The Spleen Disease

The Spleen Disease

Spleen locates at the deep end of the left hypochondriac, between the 9th and 11th ribs, and is the largest lymphoid organ in the human body. The spleen weight of children of all ages is between 10g and 113g, and is between 100g and 250g for the adults. The anatomy and function of spleen are closely associated with the liver and pancreas. Splenic artery, hepatic artery and left gastric artery are all from celiac axis. Splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein and inferior mesenteric vein jointly form the portal vein and then get into the liver. About 20 percent of the blood comes from the spleen. Spleen diseases are classified as spleen and hematopoietic system disease (thalassemia, spleen related inherited metabolic diseases, leukemia, etc.), infectious diseases (all kinds of specific and nonspecific infection), splenomegaly (portal hypertension, hypersplenism, etc.), splenic space-occupying lesions (spleen tumor, spleen cyst, etc.), spleen injury (spleen rupture, etc.), and some infrequent diseases (splenic infarction, wandering spleen, splenosis, etc.). Diagnosis of spleen diseases and selection of treatment are still a clinical difficulty.
