Amanda M. Lynn, Siddharth Singh, Stephen E. Congly, Disha Khemani, David H. Johnson, Russell H. Wiesner, Patrick S. Kamath, James C. Andrews, Michael D. Leise – 11 March 2016 – Treatment options for refractory hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are limited. Patients who fail medical management may harbor large portosystemic shunts (PSSs) which are possible therapeutic targets. This study aims to describe patient selection, effectiveness, and safety of percutaneous PSS embolization in those with medically refractory HE.

CD14 receptor signaling is a key mediator of the innate immune system; its common genetic variant is associated with alcoholic liver disease.

Marzena Swiderska‐Syn, Guanhua Xie, Gregory A. Michelotti, Mark L. Jewell, Richard T. Premont, Wing‐Kin Syn, Anna Mae Diehl – 11 March 2016 – Adult liver regeneration requires induction and suppression of proliferative activity in multiple types of liver cells. The mechanisms that orchestrate the global changes in gene expression that are required for proliferative activity to change within individual liver cells, and that coordinate proliferative activity among different types of liver cells, are not well understood.

Ann M. Harper, Erick Edwards, W. Kenneth Washburn, Julie Heimbach – 11 March 2016 – In April 2012, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) implemented an online explant pathology form for recipients of liver transplantation who received additional wait‐list priority for their diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The purpose of the form was to standardize the data being reported to the OPTN, which had been required since 2002 but were submitted to the OPTN in a variety of formats via facsimile.
