Endocannabinoid receptor blockade increases hepatocyte growth factor and reduces insulin levels in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
There is evidence from animal and in-vitro studies that activation of the endocannabinoid system (EC) through cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB-1) is associated with liver injury, inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma.1 Data suggests endogenous cannabinoids

Macrophage‐Mediated Transport of Insoluble Indirubin Induces Hepatic Injury During Intestinal Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived bioactive molecules with low solubility and permeability induce hepatocyte injury, though the mechanisms driving their hepatic effects remain poorly understood. This study identifies a novel transport pathway in which poorly soluble indirubin accumulates in the liver via macrophage‐mediated uptake in Peyer's patches, exacerbating hepatic ...

Correlation of liver stiffness and histological features in healthy persons and in patients with occult hepatitis B, chronic active hepatitis B, or hepatitis B cirrhosis [PDF]

, 2010
OBJECTIVES: Liver stiffness measurement using transient elastography has become a popular tool to assess liver fibrosis. The aim of this study was to determine liver stiffness values and histological features in healthy subjects and in patients with ...

GHSR‐Foxo1 Signaling in Macrophages Promotes Liver Fibrosis via Inflammatory Response and Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophage GHSR‐Foxo1 axis regulates CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis by promoting inflammation and TGF‐β1‐mediated HSC activation. GHSR activates PKA‐dependent phosphorylation of Foxo1 at serine 273, promoting macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarization to enhance the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that damage hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver ...

Synchronous double primary hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in a single patient with chronic hepatitis B: two case reports and literature review

Frontiers in Oncology
Simultaneous occurrence of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is rare. We report two cases of synchronous double primary HCC and ICC (sdpHCC-ICC), both associated with chronic hepatitis B.

Symptom Domain Groups of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Tools Independently Predict Hospitalizations and Re-hospitalizations in Cirrhosis [PDF]

, 2017
Background Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) tools can identify health-related quality of life (HRQOL) domains that could differentially affect disease progression.

Reversal of liver cirrhosis: current evidence and expectations

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine, 2017
In the past, liver cirrhosis was considered an irreversible phenomenon. However, many experimental data have provided evidence of the reversibility of liver fibrosis. Moreover, multiple clinical studies have also shown regression of fibrosis and reversal

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...
