Benjamin Lelouvier, Florence Servant, Sandrine Païssé, Anne‐Claire Brunet, Salah Benyahya, Matteo Serino, Carine Valle, Maria Rosa Ortiz, Josep Puig, Michael Courtney, Massimo Federici, José‐Manuel Fernández‐Real, Rémy Burcelin, Jacques Amar – 17 September 2016 – The early detection of liver fibrosis among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an important clinical need.
Supriya R. Kulkarni, Carol J. Soroka, Lee R. Hagey, James L. Boyer – 17 September 2016 – Sirtuin1 (Sirt1; mammalian homolog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme Sir2) is a transcriptional and transactivational regulator of murine farnesoid X receptor (Fxr), which is the primary bile acid (BA) sensor, and critical regulator of BA metabolism in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Previous studies have suggested compromised Sirt1 expression in rodent models of cholestatic liver injury. We hypothesized that Sirt1 could be potentially targeted to alleviate cholestatic liver injury.

Marianne Martinello, Edward Gane, Margaret Hellard, Joe Sasadeusz, David Shaw, Kathy Petoumenos, Tanya Applegate, Jason Grebely, Laurence Maire, Philippa Marks, Gregory J. Dore, Gail V. Matthews – 17 September 2016 – While interferon‐based therapy has excellent efficacy in acute and recent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the side effect profile limits implementation. Sofosbuvir and ribavirin for 12‐24 weeks is safe and well tolerated in chronic HCV, with efficacy dependent on genotype and disease stage.

Juan G. Abraldes, Christophe Bureau, Horia Stefanescu, Salvador Augustin, Michael Ney, Hélène Blasco, Bogdan Procopet, Jaime Bosch, Joan Genesca, Annalisa Berzigotti, for the Anticipate Investigators – 17 September 2016 – In patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD), the presence of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) and varices needing treatment (VNT) bears prognostic and therapeutic implications. Our aim was to develop noninvasive tests‐based risk prediction models to provide a point‐of‐care risk assessment of cACLD patients.
Ming Xiang, Tingting Liu, Wanyue Tan, Hongyu Ren, Hua Li, Junjun Liu, Hui Cao, Qi Cheng, Xiulan Liu, Hucheng Zhu, Yali Tuo, Jianping Wang, Yonghui Zhang – 17 September 2016 – The central purpose of this study was to investigate therapeutic effects of the botanical derivative, kinsenoside (KD), in experimental autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).
