Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

Therapeutic effects of serum extracellular vesicles in liver fibrosis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018
The lack of approved therapies for hepatic fibrosis seriously limits medical management of patients with chronic liver disease. Since extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as conduits for intercellular molecular transfer, we investigated if EVs from ...

Relationship between NAFLD and coronary artery disease: A Mendelian randomization study

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims There is an ongoing debate on whether NAFLD is an active contributor or an innocent bystander in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to assess the causal relationship between NAFLD and CAD.

Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture is associated with poor oncological outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture (OVF) was associated with poor long‐term outcomes in patients with HCC after hepatic resection. Osteopenic OVF had a poorer prognosis than that of patients with either osteopenia or OVF. Abstract Background Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...

Intestinal peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α‐fatty acid‐binding protein 1 axis modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty

Elevated serum levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein are associated with covert hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis

JHEP Reports, 2023
Background & Aims: Blood biomarkers facilitating the diagnosis of covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE) in patients with cirrhosis are lacking. Astrocyte swelling is a major component of hepatic encephalopathy.

FIB‐3 index as a novel age‐independent predictor of liver fibrosis and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing hepatectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐3 index (FIB‐3) can stratify the risk of the survival and the recurrence‐free survival. The FIB‐3 index is a reliable, age‐independent tool for assessing liver fibrosis and prognosis in HCC patients post‐hepatectomy. Its use may improve clinical outcomes and support personalized treatment strategies. Abstract Background Liver fibrosis is a key

NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma: The growing challenge

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Risk and protective factors for NAFLD‐related hepatocellular carcinoma Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer‐related mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the obesity pandemic, NAFLD‐related HCC is contributing to the burden of disease exponentially.
