Long noncoding RNA in liver diseases

Kenji Takahashi, Irene Yan, Hiroaki Haga, Tushar Patel – 3 February 2014 – The identification of the presence of large RNA transcripts that do not code for proteins but that may have biological functions has provided an important new perspective in gene regulation. These long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are being increasingly recognized to contribute to many biological processes through diverse mechanisms. The roles of these emerging genes are being recognized across kingdoms.

Conversion from twice daily tacrolimus capsules to once daily extended‐release tacrolimus (LCP‐Tacro): Phase 2 trial of stable liver transplant recipients

Rita R. Alloway, Devin E. Eckhoff, W. Kenneth Washburn, Lewis W. Teperman – 3 February 2014 – LCP‐Tacro is an extended‐release formulation of tacrolimus designed for once‐daily dosing. Studies in renal transplantation demonstrate greater bioavailability with similar safety and efficacy vs. twice‐daily tacrolimus capsules.

Impact of pretransplant rifaximin therapy on early post–liver transplant infections

Jamak Modaresi Esfeh, Ibrahim A. Hanouneh, Christine E. Koval, Christopher Kovacs, Deepan S. Dalal, Kianoush Ansari‐Gilani, Bradley D. Confer, Bijan Eghtesad, Nizar N. Zein, K. V. Narayanan Menon – 3 February 2014 – Bacterial and fungal infections are major causes of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). The role of intestinal decontamination in the prevention of post‐LT infections is controversial. Rifaximin is widely used for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. The effect of rifaximin on post‐LT infections is unknown.
