Diagnosis of hepatic hydrothorax using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with intraperitoneal injection of SonazoidEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This is the first report to confirm transdiaphragmatic movement of ascitic fluid into the pleural cavity using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with Sonazoid. This method can safely detect ascitic flow in real time, and is thus very useful for the diagnosis of hepatic hydrothorax.

Association of polymorphisms of glutamate-cystein ligase and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein genes in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This difference clearly warrants further investigation in larger samples. These two polymorphisms could represent an additional factor for consideration in evaluating the risk of NAFLD progression. Further studies involving a larger population are necessary to confirm this notion.

Teduglutide, a novel mucosally active analog of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's diseaseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Teduglutide, an analog of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), is associated with trophic effects on gut mucosa. Its role in the treatment of active Crohn's disease (CD) was assessed in a pilot, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, dose-ranging study.Subjects with moderate-to-severe CD were randomized 1:1:1:1 to placebo or 1 of 3 doses of teduglutide (0.05, 0.10, or 0.20 mg/kg daily) delivered as a daily subcutaneous injection for 8 weeks. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of subjects in each group that responded to treatment, defined as a decrease in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score to 100 p...

The position of the amino group on the benzene ring is critical for mesalamine's improvement of replication fidelityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Individuals with ulcerative colitis are at high risk of developing colitis-associated cancer. 5-Aminosalicylate (5-ASA) protects from cancer by its antiinflammatory activity as well as by altering cell growth, inducing apoptosis, and reducing replication errors. So far neither 5-ASA's structural specificity nor its pharmacophore group have been identified. Here we compared 5-ASA with its analogs (4-ASA and 3-ASA) and its metabolite N-acetyl-5-ASA (NAc-5-ASA).Superoxide scavenging was analyzed by lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence. Cell growth, cell cycle distribution, and replication fidelity at a (CA)13 microsatellite ...

Five years prior she underwent an aortoiliac bypass with implantation of a graft for severe peripheral vascular disease. At the time of admission she had a blood pressure of 100/70 mm Hg and a pulse of 100 per minute. Physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. The hemoglobin level was 8.6 g/L, hematocrit...

Europe’s hepatitis challenge: Defusing the “viral time bomb”Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Since its foundation in 2005, the European Liver Patients’ Association (ELPA) – a not-for-profit-organisation with 21 members across Europe – has been at the forefront of raising awareness of liver diseases, in particular hepatitis, throughout the EU. In line with the main challenge for hepatitis carriers, which is to “become a patient”, ELPA calls for targeted screening of risk groups in order to facilitate early diagnosis and, if appropriate, treatment. To this end, ELPA and its members have embarked on a multi-level lobbying campaign, involving EU and national policymakers, liver specialist associations and pu...

Vitamin C supplement use may protect against gallstones: an observational study on a randomly selected populationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background: Animal experiments have shown a protective effect of vitamin C on the formation of gallstones. Few data in humans suggest an association between reduced vitamin C intake and increased prevalence of gallstone disease. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association of regular vitamin C supplementation with gallstone prevalence. Methods: An observational, population-based study of 2129 subjects aged 18-65 years randomly selected from the general population in southern Germany was conducted. Abdominal ultrasound examination, completion of a standardized questionnaire, compilation of anthropometric dat...

The ageing gut: diminished symptom response to a standardized nutrient stimulusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Background The prevalence of dyspepsia and the severity of reflux symptoms decreases with advancing age. We postulate that advancing age influences sensory function and this will be associated with a diminished symptom response to a standardized meal stimulus.Our aim was to assess the influence of age on visceral sensory function.Methods Baseline gastrointestinal symptoms and anxiety and depression were assessed in 53 healthy volunteers using validated questionnaires. After an 8-h fast, subjects received 200 mL of a standardized enteral feeding solution every 5 min up to a cumulative volume of 800 mL. After each 200 mL dri...

Conclusions: These results implicate that the prevalence of GERD in asthma and COPD are lower than in published reports in a tertiary referral center.

Early prediction of encephalopathy in hospitalized patients with severe acute liver disease: The narrow window of opportunity for transplant-free survivalEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Transplant-free survival, clearly the most suitable outcome for any patient hospitalized (inpatient) with a life-threatening acute liver disease (ALD), is unfortunately uncommon among inpatients with acute liver failure (ALF) not due to poisoning (paracetamol, mushroom poisoning) (non-P) (non-P ALF). Despite some recent improvements, transplant-free survival rates of these patients, who were often in a good condition before the onset of the causal ALD, remain low: 21% to 39% in those with grade 3–4 hepatic encephalopathy (HE), and 28% to 67% in those with grade 1–2 HE at admission to the liver unit. Even when IV N-acet...

A novel model of CCl4-induced cirrhosis with ascites in the mouseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The use of short cycles of CCl4 inhalation represents a novel, safe, and effective method to induce decompensated cirrhosis in mice. Intraperitoneal CCl4 leads instead to abdominal adhesions precluding a correct evaluation of ascites, while subcutaneous CCl4 causes an unwanted systemic inflammatory response.

I read with great interest the review article by Prof. Liaw published in a recent issue of this journal . The article highlighted the reality and difficulties many patients and clinicians in Asian countries are now facing in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Although the more recent antiviral agents (entecavir and tenofovir) have strong antiviral potency and very low risk of drug resistance, these drugs may not be available to all patients in need. This is due to the restricted reimbursement criteria in place in different countries as well as the low income of the population in some areas.

Hepatitis B Virus Inhibition in Mice by Lentiviral Vector Mediated Small Interference RNAEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The major challenges for current therapies are the low efficacy of current drugs and the occurrence of drug resistant HBV mutations. RNA interference (RNAi) of virus-specific genes offers the possibility of developing a new anti-HBV therapy. Recent reports have shown that lentiviral vectors based on HIV-1 are promising gene delivery vehicles due to their ability to integrate transgenes into non-dividing cells. Herein, a lentivirus-based RNAi system was developed to drive expression and delivery of HBV-specific short i...
