Global incidence of adverse clinical events in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: People with NAFLD have high incidence of liver and non-liver adverse clinical events, varying by NASH, geographic region, and time-period, but not sex.PMID:38281814 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2023.0485 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

Identification of signature gene set as highly accurate determination of MASLD progression
CONCLUSIONS: We identified a signature gene set (i.e., CAPG, HYAL3, WIPI1, TREM2, SPP1, and RNASE6) with strong potential as a panel of diagnostic genes of MASLD-associated disease.PMID:38281815 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2023.0449 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

Prognosis of biopsy-confirmed MASLD: a sub-analysis of the CLIONE study
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately 99% of NAFLD cases corresponded to MASLD. NAFLD only group, which is not included in MASLD, had relatively mild histopathologic severity and a favorable prognosis. Consequently, the prognosis of MASLD was similar to that of NAFLD.PMID:38263684 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2023.0515 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

JCAD Deficiency Attenuates Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells and Cholestatic Fibrosis
CONCLUSION: JCAD deficiency effectively suppressed hepatic fibrosis induced by BDL in mice, and the underlying mechanisms are largely through suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling activity in HSCs.PMID:38190829 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2023.0506 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

Efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of capsid assembly modulator linvencorvir plus standard of care in chronic hepatitis B patients
CONCLUSIONS: 48-week linvencorvir plus SoC was generally safe and well tolerated, and resulted in potent HBV DNA and RNA suppression. However, 48-week linvencorvir plus NUC with or without Peg-IFN did not result in the achievement of functional cure in any patient.PMID:38190830 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2023.0422 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

Comprehensive Approach to Controlling Chronic Hepatitis B in China
Clin Mol Hepatol. 2024 Jan 5. doi: 10.3350/cmh.2023.0412. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was highly endemic in China, where the prevalence of HBsAg was 9.7% in 1992. Comprehensive strategies, including universal infant hepatitis B vaccination with emphasis on timely birth-dose and 3-dose coverage, dramatically reduced the mother-to-infant transmission and early childhood acquisition of HBV, resulting in estimated HBsAg prevalence rates of 5.6% and 0.1% in the general population and among children aged <5 years in 2022, respectively. Clinical guidelines on the prevention and treatment of ...
