Unresectable solitary hepatocellular carcinoma not amenable to radiofrequency ablation: Multicenter radiology‐pathology correlation and survival of radiation segmentectomy

Michael Vouche, Ali Habib, Thomas J. Ward, Edward Kim, Laura Kulik, Daniel Ganger, Mary Mulcahy, Talia Baker, Michael Abecassis, Kent T. Sato, Juan‐Carlos Caicedo, Jonathan Fryer, Ryan Hickey, Elias Hohlastos, Robert J. Lewandowski, Riad Salem – 6 February 2014 – Resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) <3 cm; there is interest in expanding the role of ablation to 3‐5 cm. RFA is considered high‐risk when the lesion is in close proximity to critical structures.

Coffee, alcohol and other beverages in relation to cirrhosis mortality: The Singapore Chinese Health Study

George Boon‐Bee Goh, Wan‐Cheng Chow, Renwei Wang, Jian‐Min Yuan, Woon‐Puay Koh – 6 February 2014 – Limited experimental and epidemiologic data suggest that coffee may reduce hepatic damage in chronic liver disease. The association between consumption of coffee and other beverages and risk of cirrhosis mortality was evaluated in the Singapore Chinese Health Study.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 protects against acetaminophen‐induced hepatotoxicity by potentiating peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor coactivator protein‐1α‐mediated antioxidant capacity in mice

Dewei Ye, Yudong Wang, Huating Li, Weiping Jia, Kwan Man, Chung Mau Lo, Yu Wang, Karen S.L. Lam, Aimin Xu – 6 February 2014 – Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a leading cause of drug‐induced hepatotoxicity and acute liver failure worldwide, but its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hepatocyte‐secreted hormone with pleiotropic effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the pathophysiological role of FGF21 in APAP‐induced hepatotoxicity in mice.
