Sebastian Rademacher, Daniel Seehofer, Dennis Eurich, Wenzel Schoening, Ruth Neuhaus, Robert Oellinger, Timm Denecke, Andreas Pascher, Eckart Schott, Mariann Sinn, Peter Neuhaus, Johann Pratschke – 7 June 2017 – De novo malignancies (DNMs) are one of the leading causes of late mortality after liver transplantation (LT). We analyzed 1616 consecutive patients who underwent LT between 1988 and 2006 at our institution. All patients were prospectively observed over a study period of 28 years by our own outpatient clinic.

Taylor‐Robinson, Patrick M Gillevet – 6 June 2017 – Recurrent hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a leading cause of readmission despite standard of care (SOC) associated with microbial dysbiosis. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) may improve dysbiosis; however, it has not been studied in HE.

Zobair M. Younossi, Maria Stepanova, Nila Rafiq, Linda Henry, Rohit Loomba, Hala Makhlouf, Zachary Goodman – 6 June 2017 – Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The minimal pathologic criteria for NASH include hepatic steatosis, ballooning degeneration, and lobular inflammation. The resolution of NASH, which relies on the loss of ballooning degeneration, is subject to sampling and observer variability in pathologic interpretation.

Allison J. Kwong, Aparna Goel, Ajitha Mannalithara, W. Ray Kim – 6 June 2017 – The Share 35 policy was implemented in June 2013 to improve equity in access to liver transplantation (LT) between patients with fulminant liver failure and those with cirrhosis and severe hepatic decompensation. The aim of this study was to assess post‐LT outcomes after Share 35. Relevant donor, procurement, and recipient data were extracted from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/United Network for Organ Sharing database.

Oludemilade Akinrotimi, Ryan Riessen, Philip VanDuyne, Jung Eun Park, Yoon Kwang Lee, Lee‐Jun Wong, Ann M. Zavacki, Kristina Schoonjans, Sayeepriyadarshini Anakk – 6 June 2017 – Nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) are important regulators of bile acid, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. Here, we show that global Fxr–/–Shp–/– double knockout (DKO) mice are refractory to weight gain, glucose intolerance, and hepatic steatosis when challenged with high‐fat diet.
