Lenvatinib was prescribed to a 71-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma (210mm, largest dimension) and portal vein tumor thrombosis. However, this treatment was discontinued 8 days later due to prolongation of prothrombin time and an increase in AST and LDH levels. Rupture of the hepatocellular carcinoma occurred 4 days after discontinuing Lenvatinib and the patient died. Autopsy findings showed a moderately differenti-ated hepatocellular carcinoma with diffuse hemorrhagic necrosis. Immunohistochemistry revealed diffuse FGF 19 protein expression in the nuclei of tumor cells, whereas some of the nuclei and cytoplasm of the hepatocytes in non-tumorous tissue were only slightly stained. The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma rupture should always be considered even after stopping short-term chemotherapy with Lenvatinib.

In our hospital, the Infection Control Team (ICT) evaluates patients who test positive for the hepatitis virus during preoperative and preadmission tests (the hepatitis virus round), and adds referral requests to a hepatolo-gist to the electronic medical records of these patients. A review after 1 year of this practice confirmed that number of referrals provided by non-hepatology specialty physicians was low, especially among short-stay inpa-tients. Therefore, we requested referrals using the nudge method in year 2 of the initial infection control train-ing session. This increased the referral consultation rate for short-term hospitalization from 14.3% (3/21) before ICT referral to 31.6% (6/19) in the 1 st year and 66.7% (8/12) in the 2 nd year (vs. before the start, p < 0.01). Thus, the nudge method is effective in promoting voluntary behavior change and can increase rates of referred consulta-tions.

A 20-year-old man was referred to pediatrics for hyperbilirubinemia and mental retardation. Abdominal ultrasonography findings were indicative of a portosystemic shunt, and as a shunt between the left branch of the portal vein and inferior vena cava was confirmed by abdominal computed tomography, he was diagnosed with patency of the venous duct. We decided to perform shunt embolization using IVR, but as the shunt diame-ter had expanded like a funnel, its embolization was performed using a plug-and -metal coil, which led to an im-provement in hepatic reserve and blood ammonia levels postprocedure. Surgical ligation has been typically used in the management of portosystemic shunts, but as it is highly invasive, shunt embolization by IVR has become prevalent in recent years. Here we describe stable embolization using the IVR technique.
