Surgical Outcomes of Domino Liver Transplantation Using Grafts From Living Donors With Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy

Hidekazu Yamamoto, Yuzuru Sambommatsu, Masatsugu Ishii, Keita Shimata, Kaori Isono, Masaki Honda, Yasuhiko Sugawara, Yukihiro Inomata, Taizo Hibi – 5 January 2022 – Domino liver transplantation (DLT) using grafts from donors with familial amyloid polyneuropathy is an acceptable procedure for expanding the donor pool. The vascular and biliary reconstructions in living donor DLT (LDDLT) are technically demanding, and data on the short‐term and long‐term surgical outcomes of domino donors and recipients in LDDLT are limited.

Getting to HBV cure: The promising paths forward

Scott Fung, Hannah S. J. Choi, Adam Gehring, Harry L. A. Janssen – 5 January 2022 – Chronic HBV infection is a global public health burden estimated to impact nearly 300 million persons worldwide. Despite the advent of potent antiviral agents that effectively suppress viral replication, HBV cure remains difficult to achieve because of the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), HBV‐DNA integration into the host genome, and impaired immune response. Indefinite treatment is necessary for most patients to maintain level of viral suppression.

Development of Alcohol‐Associated Hepatitis Is Associated With Specific Changes in Gut‐Modified Bile Acids

Mark D. Muthiah, Ekaterina Smirnova, Puneet Puri, Naga Chalasani, Vijay H. Shah, Calvin Kiani, Stephanie Taylor, Faridoddin Mirshahi, Arun J. Sanyal – 3 January 2022 – The perturbations in bile acids (BAs) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis (AH) and its relationship to disease severity is not well defined. The aims of this study were to define (1) the effects of heavy alcohol consumption on BAs and related microbiome, (2) the additional changes with AH, and (3) the relationship of these changes to disease severity.
