Selective hepatic insulin resistance in a murine model heterozygous for a mitochondrial trifunctional protein defect

R. Scott Rector, E. Matthew Morris, Suzanne Ridenhour, Grace M. Meers, Fong‐Fu Hsu, John Turk, Jamal A. Ibdah – 28 January 2013 – Earlier reports suggest a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and development of hepatic insulin resistance. Here we used a murine model heterozygous (HET) for a mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTP) gene defect to determine if a primary defect in mitochondrial long‐chain fatty acid oxidation disrupts hepatic insulin action.

Timing of hepatectomy in resectable synchronous colorectal liver metastases (SCRLM): Simultaneous or delayed?

Zi Yin, Chao Liu, Yajin Chen, Yu Bai, Changzhen Shang, Rongyan Yin, Dong Yin, Jie Wang – 28 January 2013 – The optimal surgical strategy for treatment of patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (SCLRM) remains controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of all observational studies to define the safety and efficacy of simultaneous versus delayed resection of the colon and liver. A search for all major databases and relevant journals from inception to April 2012 without restriction on languages or regions was performed.

JUMP‐C: A randomized trial of mericitabine plus pegylated interferon alpha‐2a/ribavirin for 24 weeks in treatment‐naïve HCV genotype 1/4 patients

Paul J. Pockros, Donald Jensen, Naoky Tsai, Ryan Taylor, Alnoor Ramji, Curtis Cooper, Rolland Dickson, Alan Tice, Rohit Kulkarni, John M. Vierling, Marie Lou Munson, Ya‐Chi Chen, Isabel Najera, James Thommes, on behalf of the JUMP‐C Investigators – 28 January 2013 – Mericitabine is a selective nucleoside analog inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase, with activity across all HCV genotypes.

Faldaprevir combined with pegylated interferon alfa‐2a and ribavirin in treatment‐naïve patients with chronic genotype1 HCV: SILEN‐C1 trial

Mark S. Sulkowski, Tarik Asselah, Jacob Lalezari, Peter Ferenci, Hugo Fainboim, Barbara Leggett, Fernando Bessone, Stefan Mauss, Jeong Heo, Yakov Datsenko, Jerry O. Stern, George Kukolj, Joseph Scherer, Gerhard Nehmiz, Gerhard G. Steinmann, Wulf O. Böcher – 28 January 2013 – Faldaprevir (BI 201335) is a potent, hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A protease inhibitor with pharmacokinetic properties supportive of once‐daily (QD) dosing.

Hepatitis B testing and access to care among racial and ethnic minorities in selected communities across the United States, 2009‐2010

Dale J. Hu, Jian Xing, Rania A. Tohme, Youlian Liao, Henry Pollack, John W. Ward, Scott D. Holmberg – 28 January 2013 – Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is widely prevalent among racial and ethnic minorities in the United States; however, few data have been available regarding HBV testing and referral to care for these populations. Using survey data collected in 2009‐2010 from the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) across the U.S., we assessed rates and determinants of hepatitis B testing and access to care in 28 minority communities in the U.S.
