Nuclear Factor I‐B Delays Liver Fibrosis by Inhibiting Chemokine Ligand 5 Transcription

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the transcription factor Nuclear Factor I‐B (NFIB) as a key suppressor of liver fibrosis. NFIB expression declines during hepatic stellate cell activation, and its overexpression reduces fibrosis in mice models. The mechanism involves NFIB directly repressing chemokine C─C motif ligand 5 (CCL5), thereby alleviating oxidative ...

Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for pediatric bleeding esophageal varices complicated by gastric vein, main portal vein, splenic mesenteric junction, and splenic vein occlusion: a case report

BMC Gastroenterology, 2019
Background Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) is a life-saving procedure for pediatric patients with bleeding gastric varices (GV) associated with advanced liver cirrhosis and severe portal hypertension. Because of the lack of an endoscopic banding

Techniques for Management of Portal Vein Thrombosis during Liver Transplantation

Case Reports in Transplantation, 2020
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) poses a unique challenge in liver transplant. The management of PVT differs according to the extent of thrombosis. Anastomosis of a donor portal vein to a varix is a viable option when an adequate size varix is identified on ...

Targeting WEE1 in ARID1A/TP53 Concurrent Mutant Colorectal Cancer by Exploiting R‐Loop Accumulation and DNA Repair Deficiencies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ARID1A, a SWI/SNF complex component, is frequently mutated in colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC with ARID1A/TP53 concurrent mutations shows marked sensitivity to WEE1 inhibition. ARID1A loss induces R‐loop‐mediated replication stress, impairs ATF3 transcription, and amplifies WEE1i‐induced DNA damage, suggesting a promising therapeutic vulnerability ...

Contribution of Gli1+ Adventitial Stem Cells to Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gli1+ adventitial stem cells (ASCs) have been thought to generate smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerosis. Using a dual‐recombinase lineage tracing to exclude ectopic labeling, Wang et al. found that Gli1+ ASCs do not contribute to SMCs in atherosclerotic plaques.

A Rare Case of Portal Vein Thrombosis Due to Portal Vein Aneurysm. Case Report and the Review of the Literature

Sri Lanka Journal of Medicine
A portal vein aneurysm (PVA) is an abnormal dilatation of the portal vein measuring more than 19 mm in patients with portal hypertension and more than 15 mm in individuals with normal portal venous pressure.

Autocrine Netrin‐1 Signaling in Hepatic Stellate Cells Drives Liver Fibrosis and Diet‐Induced Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Netrin‐1 expression is upregulated in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) during metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis and injury‐mediated liver fibrosis. Secreted Netrin‐1 establishes an autocrine positive feedback loop by binding to UNC5B receptors on HSCs.

Colonic varices treated with embolization after pancreatoduodenectomy with portal vein resection: a case report

Surgical Case Reports, 2020
Background Pancreatoduodenectomy with resection of the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein confluence has been safely performed in patients with pancreatic head cancer associated with infiltration of the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein.

RPS3‐Enriched Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Liver‐Spinal Cord Inter‐Organ Communication

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury activates the liver to send extracellular vesicles loaded with RPS3 protein to the lesion site. These vesicles are taken up by neural stem cells and astrocytes, triggering NF‐κB signaling, impairing the regeneration of neurons and myelin, and promotes harmful inflammation, ultimately hindering recovery.
