Randle Ware, Vipin Kumar – 25 September 2017 – One of the major innate‐like lymphocyte populations enriched in the liver consists of natural killer T (NKT) cells, which recognize self and foreign lipid antigens presented by the nonpolymorphic class I major histocompatibility complex–like molecule CD1d. NKT cells express natural killer cell markers as well as T cell receptors (TCRs) and can be classified into 2 categories: type I NKT cells use a semi‐invariant TCR, whereas type II NKT cells express diverse but still limited TCRs.

The longterm outcomes of a second resection for recurrent HCC have improved.

Alina M. Allen, Terry M. Therneau, Joseph J. Larson, Alexandra Coward, Virend K. Somers, Patrick S. Kamath – 23 September 2017 – Recent population‐based data on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) epidemiology in general, and incidence in particular, are lacking. We examined trends in NAFLD incidence in a U.S. community and the impact of NAFLD on incident metabolic comorbidities (MCs), cardiovascular (CV) events, and mortality.

Kruger, Bryce D. Smith – 23 September 2017 – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and US Preventive Services Task Force recommend one‐time hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing for persons born during 1945‐1965 (birth cohort). However, few studies estimate the effect of birth cohort (BC) testing implementation on HCV diagnoses in primary care settings.

Goldstein, Harvey Lerner, David Gee, Richard Hillbom, Lloyd Brown, Kenneth Washburn, Baburao Koneru – 21 September 2017 – The safety and liver utilization with prerecovery liver biopsy (PLB) in extended criteria liver donors are unclear. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in 1323 brain death donors (PLB = 496) from 3 organ procurement organizations (OPOs). Outcomes were complications, preempted liver recovery (PLR), and liver transplantation (LT).
