The study aim was to compare the alterations in the expression levels of proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-8, the down regulatory cytokine IL-10, in addition to the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) gene in different groups of patients with cirrhosis due to various etiologies. This case-control study included 84 patients suffering from cirrhosis of viral and non-viral etiologies and 20 sex and age-matched healthy controls...

Gut barrier dysfunction occurs commonly in patients with critical disorders, leading to the translocation of luminal toxic substances and bacteria to the bloodstream. Connexin 43 (Cx43) acts as a gap junction protein and is crucial for intercellular communication and the diffusion of nutrients. The levels of cellular Cx43 are tightly regulated by multiple factors, including polyamines, but the exact mechanism underlying the control of Cx43 expression remains largely unknown. The RNA-binding protein HuR regulates the stability and translation of target mRNAs and is involved in many aspects of intestinal epithelial pathobiology...

High fat diets, and inflammation are risk factors for colon cancer, however the underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. The transcriptional co-repressor HDAC3 has recently emerged as a key regulator of intestinal epithelial responses to diet and inflammation with intestinal-specific Hdac3 deletion ( Hdac3IKO ) in mice increasing lipid oxidation genes and the rate of lipid oxidation in enterocytes. Hdac3IKO mice are also predisposed to experimentally induced colitis, however whether this is driven by the intestinal metabolic reprogramming, and whether this predisposes these mice to intestinal tumourigenesis is unknown...

We sometimes experience living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) involving very small grafts with graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) <0.6% when the actual graft size is smaller than predicted. The outcomes in this situation have not been fully investigated. The present study aimed to determine the graft outcomes of LDLT with GRWR <0.6%. We retrospectively reviewed 280 cases of adult LDLT performed at our institution between January 2000 and March 2021. In our institution, the lower limit for graft volume/standard liver volume ratio was 30%...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) may recur after liver transplantation (LT). The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for AIH recurrence (rAIH). METHODS: A multicenter retrospective French nationwide study including all patients aged ≥16 transplanted for AIH, with at least one liver biopsy 1 year after LT, was conducted between 1985 and 2018. Risk factors for rAIH were identified using a multivariate Cox regression model...

Lapatinib, an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as a first-line treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer, has been reported to be associated with hepatotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we report that lapatinib causes cytotoxicity in multiple types of hepatic cells, including primary human hepatocytes, HepaRG cells, and HepG2 cells. A 24-h treatment with lapatinib induced cell cycle disturbances, apoptosis, and DNA damage, and decreased the protein levels of topoisomerase in HepG2 cells...

In vitro preclinical drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risk assessment relies largely on use of hepatocytes to measure drug-specific changes in cell function or viability. Unfortunately, this does not provide indications towards the immunogenicity of drugs and/or the likelihood for idiosyncratic reactions in the clinic. This is because the molecular initiating event in immune DILI is an interaction of the drug-derived antigen with MHC proteins and the T-cell receptor. This study utilised immune cells from drug-naïve donors, recently established immune cell co-culture systems and blinded compounds with and without DILI liabilities to determine whether these new methods offer an improvement over established assessment methods for the prediction of immune-mediated DILI...

Glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1a) is caused by a congenital deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase-alpha (G6Pase-α, encoded by G6PC), primarily associated with life-threatening hypoglycemia. Although strict dietary management substantially improves the life expectancy, patients still suffer from intermittent hypoglycemia and develop hepatic complications. Emerging therapies utilizing new modalities such as adeno-associated virus and mRNA with lipid nanoparticles are under development for GSD1a, but potentially require complicated glycemic management throughout life...

BACKGROUND: Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction is a challenging and rare clinical entity resulting in pancreatobiliary pain and stasis of bile and pancreatic juice. This problem was classically treated with surgical therapy, but as classification of the disease has changed and newer methods of endoscopic evaluation and therapy have evolved, operative transduodenal sphincteroplasty is now generally reserved as a final therapeutic option for these patients. In this video and manuscript, we describe our approach to operative transduodenal sphincteroplasty in a patient with type I Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction...

Non-cancer deaths are now becoming a great threat to the health of cancer survivors. There are no comprehensive and systematic reports on chronic liver disease and cirrhosis mortality (CLDCM) among patients with digestive system cancers (DSCs). This research aimed to quantitatively assess the risks and patterns of CLDCM among patients with DSCs. From the surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) program, we extracted the data of patients diagnosed with DSCs between 2000 and 2017. Trends in incidence-based mortality rate (IBMR) were calculated using Joinpoint software...

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, some patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cannot tolerate or refuse chemotherapy due to the toxicity, necessitating alternative treatments. PD-1 blockade combined with lenvatinib showed promising results in phase II studies with small sample size, but there is a lack of data on the routine use with this regimen. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the regimen in patients with advanced ICC, and to identify predictors for treatment response and prognosis...

BACKGROUND: The influence of prolonged intermittent Pringle maneuver (IPM) on post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains unclear. We evaluated the impact of the prolonged IPM on PHLF in patients undergoing open and laparoscopic hepatectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively included 546 patients who underwent hepatectomy using IPM. The patients were divided into open (n = 294) and laparoscopic (n = 252) groups. Odds ratios for PHLF occurrence were estimated in each group according to cumulative Pringle time (CPT)...

Major aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonists were identified in extracts of blubber, liver, and muscle from six long-beaked common dolphins ( Delphinus capensis ) and one fin whale ( Balaenoptera physalus ) collected from Korean coastal waters using effect-directed analysis. Results of the H4IIE- luc bioassay indicated that the polar fractions of blubber and liver extracts from the fin whale exhibited relatively high AhR-mediated potencies. Based on full-scan screening with high-resolution mass spectrometry, 37 AhR agonist candidates, spanning four use categories: pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, and natural products, were selected...
