The efficiency of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging for the staging of graft fibrosis after liver transplantation
ConclusionsARFI helps assess graft LF after LT. The high sensitivity suggested that ARFI may reduce the frequency of liver biopsies by detecting patients who are unlikely to have significant fibrosis after liver transplantation. (Unique trial number: UMIN R000028296) (Source: Hepatology Research)

Changes in serum levels of leucine ‐rich α2‐glycoprotein predict prognosis in primary biliary cholangitis
ConclusionsChanges in LRG levels after treatment predicted PBC prognosis but were not associated with histological stage. Changes in LRG in addition to the APRI may be a useful tool for clinicians as a noninvasive biomarker. (Source: Hepatology Research)

Inhibition of GSK3 β protects liver against ischemia/reperfusion injury via activating AMPK‐mediated autophagy
ConclusionAutophagy was induced by GSK3 β inhibition through AMPK/mTOR pathway and could substantially ameliorate liver I/R injury. Therefore, our findings strongly renew the therapeutic value of the GSK3β/autophagy axis in the hepatic I/R injury. (Source: Hepatology Research)

An analysis of 307 cases with drug ‐induced liver injury between 2010 and 2018 in Japan
ConclusionsJapanese DILI patients are somewhat different from those of western countries. The diagnostic scale of the DDW ‐Japan 2004 workshop has been used in Japan. However, there are many issues to improve causality assessment of DILI that we must investigate in future. It is critical to elucidate the mechanisms of drug metabolism and the pathophysiology of liver injury by various drugs to prevent DILI. (Source: Hepatology Research)

Non ‐invasive liver fibrosis assessment correlates with collagen and elastic fiber quantity in patients with hepatitis C
ConclusionLiver fibrosis correlates with fiber quantity through non ‐invasive assessment regardless of fiber type, including elastic fiber. Moreover, MRE is useful for predicting high amounts of elastic fiber. (Source: Hepatology Research)

Serosal invasion is a strong prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy
ConclusionsSerosal invasion was a strong predictor of worse outcomes after hepatectomy for HCC. Patients showing serosal invasion need close postoperative follow ‐up or consideration of adjuvant treatment. (Source: Hepatology Research)

No ‐touch ablation in hepatocellular carcinoma has the potential to prevent intrasubsegmental recurrence to the same degree as surgical resection
ConclusionThe no ‐touch pincer ablation procedure has the potential to prevent intrasubsegmental recurrence after RFA for patients with HCC to the same degree as partial resection. (Source: Hepatology Research)
