Menghao Huang, Hyeong Geug Kim, Xiaolin Zhong, Chuanpeng Dong, Brian Zhang, Zhigang Fang, Yang Zhang, Xiaoyu Lu, Romil Saxena, Yunlong Liu, Chi Zhang, Suthat Liangpunsakul, X. Charlie Dong – 19 June 2019 – Sestrin 3 (Sesn3) belongs to the three‐member sestrin protein family. Sestrins have been implicated in antioxidative stress, adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin signal transduction, and metabolic homeostasis. However, the role of Sesn3 in the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has not been previously studied.

Thomas Horvatits, Andreas Drolz, Michael Trauner, Valentin Fuhrmann – 19 June 2019 – The frequency of acquired liver injury and failure in critical illness has been significantly increasing over recent decades. Currently, liver injury and failure are observed in up to 20% of patients in intensive care units and are associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Secondary forms of liver injury in critical illness are divided primarily into cholestatic, hypoxic, or mixed forms.

Manali Dimri, Ashley Humphries, Archana Laknaur, Sawsan Elattar, Tae Jin Lee, Ashok Sharma, Ravindra Kolhe, Ande Satyanarayana – 19 June 2019 – Cancer cells undergo metabolic adaptation to sustain uncontrolled proliferation. Aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis are two of the most essential characteristics of cancer metabolic reprogramming.

Colm J. O’Rourke, Matthias S. Matter, Chirag Nepal, Rui Caetano‐Oliveira, Phuongnga T. Ton, Valentina M. Factor, Jesper B. Andersen – 18 June 2019 – Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) mortality rates are increasing as a result of rising incidence and limited curative treatment(s) for patients with advanced disease. NOTCH pathway reactivation has been reported in biliary malignancies to conflicting degrees, hindering prioritization of key therapeutic targets within the network and identification of candidate responder patients for NOTCH‐directed therapies.

Vincent L. Chen, Andrew P. Wright, Brian Halligan, Yanhua Chen, Xiaomeng Du, Samuel K. Handelman, Michelle T. Long, Douglas P. Kiel, Elizabeth K. Speliotes – 18 June 2019 – Up to 25% of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not obese but may have a fat or muscle composition that predisposes them to NAFLD. Our aim was to determine whether body composition parameters associate with NAFLD and to identify genetic contributors to this association. This study included two cohorts.

Jin Sil Kim, Kyoung Won Kim, Jeongjin Lee, Heon‐Ju Kwon, Jae Hyun Kwon, Gi Won Song, Sung Gyu Lee – 17 June 2019 – The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) when used to diagnose significant hepatic artery occlusion (HAO) in patients that was suspected on Doppler ultrasound (US). Among 3465 adult liver transplantations (LTs) performed between January 2010 and February 2018, 329 recipients were suspected of having HAO by Doppler US.

Schwartz, Alexander Ploss – 17 June 2019 – Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major global health problem with 257 million chronically infected individuals worldwide, of whom approximately 20 million are co‐infected with hepatitis delta virus (HDV).
