Effect of social support and donation‐related concerns on ambivalence of living liver donor candidates

Yun‐Chieh Lai, Wei‐Chen Lee, Yeong‐Yuh Juang, Lee‐Lan Yen, Li‐Chueh Weng, Hsueh Fen Chou – 13 July 2014 – Ambivalence in the decision‐making process for living liver donors has the potential to result in their experiencing a negative mental status. To promote donor candidates' well‐being, it is important to study the factors related to ambivalence. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the ambivalence of living liver donor candidates and to investigate the effect of social support and donation‐related concerns on their ambivalence. A cross‐sectional design was used.

LI‐RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System): Summary, discussion, and consensus of the LI‐RADS Management Working Group and future directions

Donald G. Mitchell, Jordi Bruix, Morris Sherman, Claude B. Sirlin – 12 July 2014 – To improve standardization and consensus regarding performance, interpreting, and reporting computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the liver in patients at risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), LI‐RADS (Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System) was launched in March 2011 and adopted by many clinical practices throughout the world.

Oncofetal long noncoding RNA PVT1 promotes proliferation and stem cell‐like property of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by stabilizing NOP2

Fang Wang, Ji‐Hang Yuan, Shao‐Bing Wang, Fu Yang, Sheng‐Xian Yuan, Chen Ye, Ning Yang, Wei‐Ping Zhou, Wen‐Lin Li, Wen Li, Shu‐Han Sun – 12 July 2014 – Many protein‐coding oncofetal genes are highly expressed in murine and human fetal liver and silenced in adult liver. The protein products of these hepatic oncofetal genes have been used as clinical markers for the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and as therapeutic targets for HCC. Herein we examined the expression profiles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) found in fetal and adult liver in mice.
