Cun Wang, René Bernards – 18 July 2017

Masayuki Hisada, Xiuying Zhang, Yoshihiro Ota, Andrew M. Cameron, James Burdick, Bin Gao, George Melville Williams, Zhaoli Sun – 18 July 2017 – A patient with liver failure due to chronic and acute alcohol abuse under consideration for an urgent liver transplant shortly after stopping alcohol may have residual abnormalities that threaten transplant success, particularly for a small graft.

Kojiro Nakamura, Shoichi Kageyama, Bibo Ke, Takehiro Fujii, Rebecca A. Sosa, Elaine F. Reed, Nakul Datta, Ali Zarrinpar, Ronald W. Busuttil, Jerzy W. Kupiec‐Weglinski – 18 July 2017 – Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), an inevitable antigen‐independent inflammation response in cadaveric liver transplantation, correlates with poor early graft function, rejection episodes, and contributes to donor organ shortage.

Marcello Persico, Andrea Aglitti, Rosa Caruso, Amalia De Renzo, Carmine Selleri, Catello Califano, Ludovico Abenavoli, Alessandro Federico, Mario Masarone – 17 July 2017 – The association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been demonstrated throughout the world. The new interferon‐free direct antiviral agents (DAAs) showed high efficacy and safety, and preliminary data seem to confirm their activity on low‐grade NHL. The question arises as whether or not—and how—to treat the HCV‐positive patients suffering from diffuse large B‐cell lymphomas (DLBCLs).

Michael D. Thompson, Akshata Moghe, Pamela Cornuet, Rebecca Marino, Jianmin Tian, Pengcheng Wang, Xiaochao Ma, Marc Abrams, Joseph Locker, Satdarshan P. Monga, Kari Nejak‐Bowen – 17 July 2017 – Cholestatic liver diseases result from impaired bile flow and are characterized by inflammation, atypical ductular proliferation, and fibrosis. The Wnt/β‐catenin pathway plays a role in bile duct development, yet its role in cholestatic injury remains indeterminate.

Monica A. Konerman, Mary Thomson, Kristen Gray, Meghan Moore, Hetal Choxi, Elizabeth Seif, Anna S.F. Lok – 17 July 2017 – Despite effective treatment for chronic hepatitis C, deficiencies in diagnosis and access to care preclude disease elimination. Screening of baby boomers remains low. The aims of this study were to assess the impact of an electronic health record–based prompt on hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening rates in baby boomers in primary care and access to specialty care and treatment among those newly diagnosed.

Murray, Ann Scheimann, Ryan Gill, David Glidden, Bradley Aouizerat, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Clinical Research Network – 17 July 2017 – Reliable noninvasive markers to characterize inflammation, hepatocellular ballooning, and fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are lacking.
