Acute or acute-on-chronic liver failure is a leading cause of death in diseases without effective treatment. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) currently clinical trials for the treatment severe alcoholic hepatitis, but underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Autophagy plays critical role alleviating injury. The aim current study explore autophagy IL-22-mediated hepato-protective effect against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced Methods: A model acute injury induced by APAP was used vivo. IL-22...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (diabetic MASLD) frequently coexist worsen non-liver outcomes, but effective pharmacological therapies are limited. We aimed to evaluate the long-term effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) on outcomes among patients with diabetic MASLD.

Backgrounds and Purpose Concurrent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is a frequent increasingly concerning problem because of the NAFLD pandemic. Admittedly, can progress to steatohepatitis (NASH) severe fibrosis. Direct evidence fibrotic effect or NASH virus (HBV) infection remains lacking. We aimed reveal influence concurrent histologically proven diseases fibrogenesis with HBV infection. Methods performed retrospective cross-sectional study on...

Information about the association of glucagon-like peptidase 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) with liver and non-liver complications is insufficient in patients type 2 diabetes (T2D) metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD). We conducted a target trial emulation study to evaluate whether GLP-1RA decreases risk outcomes. Patients T2D MASLD initiating or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) were included from 2013 2022 Merative™ Marketscan® Research Databases. Primary...

Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) is an acute deterioration of function on chronic disease with immune disorder. Th22 cells and IL-22 were correlated inflammatory autoimmune diseases. However, in the pathogenesis HBV-ACLF remains to be elucidated. It was investigated correlation between prognosis HBV-ACLF.Seventy-one 65 hepatitis patients recruited. The peripheral frequencies Th22, Th17 Th1, or IL-17 determined, using flow cytometry ELISA, respectively....

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), encoded by gene SLC10A1, is a receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV). The aim of the current study was to investigate role NTCP polymorphisms in HBV susceptibility, cirrhosis and hepatocarcinogenesis. A total 1221 cases [including 866 chronic (CHB), 238 liver (LC), 117 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients] 1232 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited, 6 single nucleotide (SNPs) genotyped.

Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. The role of SENP3 metabolism, particularly NAFLD, unclear. Our results showed that hepatic was up-regulated NAFLD patients and an animal model vivo after loading hepatocytes with free acids (FFA) vitro . Intracellular determined silenced or overexpressed with/without FFA Confirming a for SENP3, gene silencing associated amelioration overexpression enhancement accumulation....

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have recently been tightly linked to plenty of human diseases. However, knowledge acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) related lncRNAs remains insufficient. In this work, we studied the role lncRNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in pathogenesis ACLF. ACLF model was established by challenging D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/ lipopolysaccharide (LPS) i.p. rats with cirrhosis. The serum levels IL-1, IL-6, and HMGB1 were determined using ELISA....

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bicyclol in patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) using a nationwide database. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data DILI DILI-R Propensity score matching was performed to balance control groups, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) recovery compared between two groups. Factors associated ALT were identified. Results The analysis included 25,927 patients. Eighty-seven cases group, 932 group. One-to-one propensity created 86...
