Alterations in Gut Microbiota and Metabolism in Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: Implications for Disease Progression

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In‐depth multiomics analyses revealed that the gut microbiota in patients with CPH is dysbiotic. Altered gut microbiota plays an important role in the progression of CPH and affects the host's arginine metabolism to promote arginine biosynthesis. The pro‐inflammatory effects of certain gut bacteria induce iNOS expression, which together act on the ...

A retrospective cohort study of intensive gastric variceal ligation versus endoscopic gastric variceal obturation in the management of gastric variceal bleeding

Annals of Palliative Medicine, 2022
Gastric variceal bleeding is often more serious and can be fatal. Currently, international consensus recommendations for the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding vary according to endoscopic classification. Few studies have investigated ligation versus gastric variceal obturation (GVO) for the treatment of gastric varices.The study included 79 ...

Serum Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Can Be a Novel Biomarker to Predict the Prognosis of Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Cirrhosis After Virus Elimination

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Although direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) achieve high sustained virologic response (SVR) rates, the long‐term outcomes of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐related cirrhosis remain variable. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a stress‐induced cytokine, has emerged as a potential biomarker for liver disease ...

Effect of General Anesthesia on Liver and Spleen Stiffness for Predicting High‐Risk Varices in Biliary Atresia

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In children with biliary atresia (BA), breath‐holding during liver and spleen stiffness (LS and SS) measurement is often difficult, raising concerns about measurement reliability in the awake state. We investigated whether performing LS and SS measurements under general anesthesia—when brief ventilation pauses are possible—could improve diagnostic ...
