Risk factors for portal vein thrombosis or venous thromboembolism in a large cohort of hospitalized cirrhotic patients
ConclusionsLiver disease complications related to portal hypertension, HCC or other tumors, diabetes, acute illnesses (i.e. infections, cardiac/pulmonary insufficiency, acute myocardial infarction/stroke) and abdominal interventions are associated with increased risk of PVT or VTE in hospitalized cirrhotic patients, and should be considered to define personalized preemptive  approaches.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate and its regulatory role in vascular endothelial cells
We presently review the levels of S1P in those vascular and vascular-related diseases. Plasma S1P levels were reduced in various inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis, but were increased in other diseases including type 2 diabetes, neurodegeneration, cerebrovascular damages such as acute ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, angina, heart failure, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, community-acquired pneumonia, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Then, we highlighted the molecular mechanism by which S1P regulated EC biology including vascular development and angiogenesis, inflammation, p...

Diabetes is not an independent risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma
ConclusionsDiabetes is not an independent risk factor for HCC after considering the effects of alcohol‐related diagnoses, chronic liver disease and potential detection bias. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Genetic ablation and short-duration inhibition of lipoxygenase results in increased macroautophagy.
Abstract 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) is involved in organelle homeostasis by degrading mitochondria in maturing red blood cells and by eliminating excess peroxisomes in liver. Furthermore, 12/15-LOX contributes to diseases by exacerbating oxidative stress-related injury, notably in stroke. Nonetheless, it is unclear what the consequences are of abolishing 12/15-LOX activity. Mice in which the alox15 gene has been ablated do not show an obvious phenotype, and LOX enzyme inhibition is not overtly detrimental. We show here that liver histology is also unremarkable. However, electron microscopy demonstrated that 12...

IL‐20 and IL‐20R1 antibodies protect against liver fibrosis
Conclusion: We identified a pivotal role of IL‐20 in liver injury and showed that 7E and 51D may be therapeutics for liver fibrosis. (Hepatology 2014;)

Diabetes Mellitus and Increased Postoperative Risk of Acute Renal Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Conclusions DM is associated with a significantly high risk of septicemia and acute renal failure, but not with other major complications or mortality, after hepatectomy for HCC.

Treatment and survival of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis associated hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: The incidence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is increasing worldwide and a poorly defined subset of patients develops end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Differences in the biological behaviour, tumour characteristics, associated risk factors, treatment outcomes and overall survival of patients with NASH-HCC remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to determine and analyze these differences in a large clinical cohort to guide treatment decisions. Methods: 1119 patients with HCC treated in an 11 year period at the University Medical Centre of the Johannes Gutenberg Unive...

Mitochonic Acid 5 (MA-5), a Derivative of the Plant Hormone Indole-3-Acetic Acid, Improves Survival of Fibroblasts from Patients with Mitochondrial Diseases.
T, Tomioka Y, Toyomizu M, Ito S, Osaka H, Hayashi K, Abe T Abstract Mitochondria are key organelles implicated in a variety of processes related to energy and free radical generation, the regulation of apoptosis, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction increases cellular oxidative stress and depletes ATP in a variety of inherited mitochondrial diseases and also in many other metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondrial diseases are characterized by the dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, caused by mutations in the genes encoded by either nuclear DNA or mitochondrial DNA...

Abstract 1852: Merlin/NF2 is associated with elevated aromatase expression and estrogen formation in human liver tissues and liver cancer cells: An unifying model for hepatocellular carcinoma development and progression
It is recognized that the product of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene, also referred to as Merlin/neurofibromin, is implicated in the homeostatic regulation of the liver stem cell niche through the control of abundance and signaling of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with a mechanism independent of the Mst/Lats/Yap Hippo pathway [1]. We have previously reported that locally elevated estrogen formation, driven by abnormally high expression and function of the aromatase enzyme, may be implicated in both development and progression of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through the activation of ...

Doping with anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS): Adverse effects on non-reproductive organs and functions
Abstract Since the 1970s anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) have been abused at ever increasing rates in competitive athletics, in recreational sports and in bodybuilding. Exceedingly high doses are often consumed over long periods, in particular by bodybuilders, causing acute or chronic adverse side effects frequently complicated by additional polypharmacy. This review summarizes side effects on non-reproductive organs and functions; effects on male and female reproduction have been recently reviewed in a parallel paper. Among the most striking AAS side effects are increases in haematocrit and coagulation causing...
