Lucia Pacifico, Michele Di Martino, Antonio De Merulis, Mario Bezzi, John Frederick Osborn, Carlo Catalano, Claudio Chiesa – 11 July 2013 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) may increase the risk for cardiac dysfunction. The present study aimed to determine whether, in children, NAFLD is associated with subclinical left ventricular (LV) structural and functional abnormalities independently of metabolic risk factors.

Waqar R. R. Farid, Jeroen Jonge, Pieter E. Zondervan, Ahmet Demirkiran, Herold J. Metselaar, Hugo W. Tilanus, Ron W. F. Bruin, Luc J. W. Laan, Geert Kazemier – 10 July 2013 – Ischemic‐type biliary lesions (ITBLs) are a major cause of morbidity after liver transplantation (LT). Their assumed underlying pathophysiological mechanism is ischemia/reperfusion injury of the biliary tree, in which the portal circulation has been proposed recently to have a role.

Mladen I. Yovchev, Yuhua Xue, David A. Shafritz, Joseph Locker, Michael Oertel – 10 July 2013 – Considerable progress has been made in developing antifibrotic agents and other strategies to treat liver fibrosis; however, significant long‐term restoration of functional liver mass has not yet been achieved. Therefore, we investigated whether transplanted hepatic stem/progenitor cells can effectively repopulate the liver with advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis.

Resende, Gustavo B. Menezes, Michael H. Nathanson, M. Fatima Leite – 9 July 2013 – Insulin's metabolic effects in the liver are widely appreciated, but insulin's ability to act as a hepatic mitogen is less well understood.

Ramadan M. Gharbawy, Bakr M. Nour – 9 July 2013 – A parenchyma‐wise technique for the ex vivo procurement of segment 4 (S4) grafts, based on the detailed architecture of the segment, is proposed. Eighteen normal, fresh livers from adult cadavers were injected differentially with colored latex; dissection casts were prepared; and the intricate architecture of S4 was studied.
