Chyng‐Wen Fwu, Yin‐Chu Chien, San‐Lin You, Kenrad E. Nelson, Gregory D. Kirk, Hsu‐Sung Kuo, Manning Feinleib, Chien‐Jen Chen – 10 January 2011 – Few studies have evaluated the risk of cancers other than hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This study aimed to estimate incidence rates of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and its major subtypes in a nationwide cohort of parous women and to assess their associations with chronic HBV infection.

Marwan Ghabril, Rolland C. Dickson, Murli Krishna, Victor Machicao, Jaime Aranda‐Michel, Hugo Bonatti, Justin H. Nguyen – 10 January 2011 – Factors present prior to liver transplantation (LT) that predict fibrosis progression in recurrent hepatitis C infection (HCV) after LT would be important to identify. This study sought to determine if histologic grade of HCV in the explant predicts fibrosis progression in recurrent HCV.

Steven R. Martin, Fernando Alvarez, Ravinder Anand, Changhong Song, Wanrong Yin – 6 January 2011 – The outcomes of 113 children with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), registered with Studies of Pediatric Liver Transplantation and who underwent transplantation between 1995 and 2006, were compared with those who underwent transplantation for other diagnoses (non‐AIH). A total of 4.9% of liver transplants were for AIH; 81% of these patients had AIH type 1 and most underwent transplantation for complications of chronic disease (60%), the majority in females (72%).

Per Levéen, Heike Kotarsky, Matthias Mörgelin, Riitta Karikoski, Eskil Elmér, Vineta Fellman – 28 December 2010 – Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important cause for neonatal liver disease. Disruption of genes encoding oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) components usually causes embryonic lethality, and thus few disease models are available. We developed a mouse model for GRACILE syndrome, a neonatal mitochondrial disease with liver and kidney involvement, caused by a homozygous BCS1L mutation (232A>G).
