Dual‐photon microscopy‐based quantitation of fibrosis‐related parameters (q‐FP) to model disease progression in steatohepatitis

Yan Wang, Robert Vincent, Jinlian Yang, Amon Asgharpour, Xieer Liang, Michael O. Idowu, Melissa J. Contos, Kalyani Daitya, Mohammed S. Siddiqui, Faridoddin Mirshahi, Arun J. Sanyal – 30 January 2017 – There is a need for further refinement of current histological systems for assessment of hepatic fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study evaluated hepatic fibrosis in NAFLD using dual‐photon microscopy‐based quantitation of fibrosis‐related parameters (q‐FPs).

Carbon monoxide ameliorates hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury via sirtuin 1‐mediated deacetylation of high‐mobility group box 1 in rats

Jian Sun, Enshuang Guo, Jiankun Yang, Yan Yang, Shenpei Liu, Jifa Hu, Xiaojing Jiang, Olaf Dirsch, Uta Dahmen, Wei Dong, Anding Liu – 30 January 2017 – Carbon monoxide (CO) exerts protective effects on hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. High‐mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an important mediator of injury and inflammation in hepatic IRI. Here, we investigated whether CO could attenuate hepatic IRI via inhibition of HMGB1 release, particularly through sirtuin 1 (SIRT1).

Increased risk of mortality by fibrosis stage in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Parambir S. Dulai, Siddharth Singh, Janki Patel, Meera Soni, Larry J. Prokop, Zobair Younossi, Giada Sebastiani, Mattias Ekstedt, Hannes Hagstrom, Patrik Nasr, Per Stal, Vincent Wai‐Sun Wong, Stergios Kechagias, Rolf Hultcrantz, Rohit Loomba – 28 January 2017 – Liver fibrosis is the most important predictor of mortality in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Quantitative risk of mortality by fibrosis stage has not been systematically evaluated. We aimed to quantify the fibrosis stage–specific risk of all‐cause and liver‐related mortality in NAFLD.
