In this transformed clinical landscape, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) has emerged as a defining barrier to maintenance of long-term liver allograft function. The liver's unique anatomy, high regenerative capacity, and tolerogenic immunological environment tend to mitigate the severest AMR manifestations. Consequently, the clinical importance of AMR in the liver has been recognized more slowly than for other solid organ allografts. Significant strides have been made in elucidating clinical and histopathologic features of acute and chronic liver AMR, with the Banff 2016 criteria among the most notable. However, current histopathologic definitions of AMR are lacking in sensitivity and specificity. C4d staining is an imperfect biological surrogate for antibody-mediated injury, and suffers from significant technical limitations. The frequent co-occurrence of T cell mediated rejection and non-immunologic allograft damage (including recurrence of primary disease) also hinders definitive identification of AMR and results in misattribution of its effects. The goal of this review is to summarize the current understanding of AMR in the context of liver transplantation, including risk factors, pathogenesis, and current diagnostic and treatment strategies. Potential directions of future research are also addressed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100799,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Liver Transplantation","volume":"16 ","pages":"Article 100236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666967624000370/pdfft?md5=244fd1c1f91ffee3f2d7d5bc8f819ed6&pid=1-s2.0-S2666967624000370-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a CNN-based UNet architecture designed to segment liver tumors from CT images of size 128×128. In this model, modifications were made to the encoder, decoder, and bridge paths to enhance feature extraction efficiency. The performance of the modified UNet was evaluated against an existing segmentation method using the same CT image size. The comparison focused on the Dice similarity coefficient and accuracy. Our proposed method demonstrated a high Dice similarity coefficient of 75.37 % and an accuracy of 99.75 % on the 3Dircadb dataset. These results indicate that our modified UNet achieved superior segmentation metrics compared to state-of-the-art methods, showcasing its effectiveness in liver tumor segmentation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100799,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Liver Transplantation","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666967624000333/pdfft?md5=f4c5eea1b8e1306ce82e2e5d4e0ff7cd&pid=1-s2.0-S2666967624000333-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141434522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
