Adipose‐derived exosomal MicroRNAs orchestrate gene regulation in the liver: Is this the missing link in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease?

Pregnancy outcome in women undergoing liver biopsy during pregnancy: A nationwide population‐based cohort study
Jonas F. Ludvigsson, Hanns‐Ulrich Marschall, Hannes Hagström, Jonas Höijer, Olof Stephansson – 27 June 2017 – Liver biopsy is an important procedure in the investigation of liver disease. We examined pregnancy outcomes in women who underwent liver biopsy during pregnancy. In a nationwide population‐based cohort study we linked data from the Swedish Medical Birth Registry (for births between 1992 and 2011) with those from the Swedish Patient Registry. We identified 23 pregnancies exposed to liver biopsy.

Hepatitis C virus reactivation in patients receiving cancer treatment: A prospective observational study
Harrys A. Torres, Jeff Hosry, Parag Mahale, Minas P. Economides, Ying Jiang, Anna S. Lok – 27 June 2017 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) reactivation in patients receiving cancer treatment has been reported in retrospective studies. We sought to determine prospectively the incidence, predictors, and clinical significance of HCV reactivation during cancer treatment. HCV‐infected patients receiving cancer treatment at our institution between November 2012 and July 2016 were studied.

Pericentral hepatocytes produce insulin‐like growth factor‐2 to promote liver regeneration during selected injuries in mice
Junlai Liu, Xiao Hu, Jie Chen, Xinqi Li, Lu Wang, Binbin Wang, Wenbo Peng, Cuiwei Yang, Zhijie Li, Yan Chen, Yue J. Wang, Chuanjiang Li, Xiajun Li, Fang Yan, Yunfang Wang, Changzhen Shang, Xin Wang, Tao Chen, Pengyu Huang – 27 June 2017 – Liver regeneration (LR) happens after various types of injuries. Unlike the well‐studied LR caused by partial hepatectomy (PHx), there is accumulating evidence suggesting that LR during other injuries may result from unknown mechanisms.
Previous living donor hemihepatectomy as cadaveric donor of remnant liver

Liver graft preservation using perfluorocarbon improves the outcomes of simulated donation after cardiac death liver transplantation in rats
Shinya Okumura, Tadahiro Uemura, Xiangdong Zhao, Yuki Masano, Tatsuaki Tsuruyama, Yasuhiro Fujimoto, Taku Iida, Shintaro Yagi, Dmitri Bezinover, Bruce Spiess, Toshimi Kaido, Shinji Uemoto – 26 June 2017 – The outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors remain poor due to severe warm ischemia injury. Perfluorocarbon (PFC) is a novel compound with high oxygen carrying capacity.
Liver transplantation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Mohammed Al Sebayel, Faisal Abaalkhail, Saleh Al Abbad, Hamad AlBahili, Hussien Elsiesy, Maha Aleid, Waleed Al‐Hamoudi – 26 June 2017 – The first liver transplantation (LT) in Saudi Arabia was performed in 1991; however, it was not until 1994 that the first structured LT program was launched. Until 1997, all LTs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) were deceased donor liver transplantations.
