Fibrinolysis Shutdown Is Associated With Thrombotic and Hemorrhagic Complications and Poorer Outcomes After Liver Transplantation

Ramona Nicolau‐Raducu, Thiago Beduschi, Rodrigo Vianna, Christian Diez, Mahmoud Sleem, Bhavna P. Singh, Georgia Vasileiou, Yehuda Raveh – 7 December 2018 – Detrimental consequences of hypofibrinolysis, also known as fibrinolysis shutdown (FS), have recently arisen, and its significance in liver transplantation (LT) remains unknown. To fill this gap, this retrospective study included 166 adults who received transplants between 2016 and 2018 for whom baseline thromboelastography was available.

Stereotactic Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: a Histopathological Study in Explanted Livers

Reto Bale, Peter Schullian, Gernot Eberle, Daniel Putzer, Heinz Zoller, Stefan Schneeberger, Claudia Manzl, Patrizia Moser, Georg Oberhuber – 5 December 2018 – This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of three‐dimensional (3D)‐navigated multiprobe radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with intraprocedural image fusion for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by histopathological examination. From 2009 to 2018, 97 patients (84 men, 13 women; median age, 60 years; range, 1‐71) were transplanted after bridging therapy of 195 HCCs by stereotactic RFA (SRFA).

Hepatic Autophagy Deficiency Compromises Farnesoid X Receptor Functionality and Causes Cholestatic Injury

Bilon Khambu, Tiangang Li, Shengmin Yan, Changshun Yu, Xiaoyun Chen, Michael Goheen, Yong Li, Jingmei Lin, Oscar W. Cummings, Youngmin A. Lee, Scott Friedman, Zheng Dong, Gen‐Sheng Feng, Shangwei Wu, Xiao‐Ming Yin – 5 December 2018 – Autophagy is important for hepatic homeostasis, nutrient regeneration, and organelle quality control. We investigated the mechanisms by which liver injury occurred in the absence of autophagy function.

HELLS Regulates Chromatin Remodeling and Epigenetic Silencing of Multiple Tumor Suppressor Genes in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Cheuk‐Ting Law, Lai Wei, Felice Ho‐Ching Tsang, Cerise Yuen‐Ki Chan, Iris Ming‐Jing Xu, Robin Kit‐Ho Lai, Daniel Wai‐Hung Ho, Joyce Man‐Fong Lee, Carmen Chak‐Lui Wong, Irene Oi‐Lin Ng, Chun‐Ming Wong – 5 December 2018 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most lethal cancer worldwide. Increasing evidence shows that epigenetic alterations play an important role in human carcinogenesis. Deregulation of DNA methylation and histone modifications have recently been characterized in HCC, but the significance of chromatin remodeling in liver carcinogenesis remains to be explored.
