Impact of microplastics and nanoplastics on liver health: Current understanding and future research directions
This article summarizes recent works dedicated to understanding the impact of MPs/NPs on the liver-the largest digestive organ, which is one of the primary routes that MPs/NPs enter human bodies. The interrelated mechanisms including oxidative stress, hepatocyte energy re-distribution, cell death and autophagy, as well as immune responses and inflammation, were also featured. In addition, the disturbance of microbiome and gut-liver axis, and the association with clinical diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis were briefly discussed. Finally, we ...

Prediction, prevention and management of gastroesophageal reflux after per-oral endoscopic myotomy: An update
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1096-1107. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1096.ABSTRACTAchalasia cardia, the most prevalent primary esophageal motility disorder, is predominantly characterized by symptoms of dysphagia and regurgitation. The principal therapeutic approaches for achalasia encompass pneumatic dilatation (PD), Heller's myotomy, and the more recent per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). POEM has been substantiated as a safe and efficacious modality for the management of achalasia. Although POEM demonstrates superior efficacy compared to PD and an efficacy parallel to Heller's myotomy, the incidence of gastroesoph...

Recent trends in the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease in South Korea, 2010-2018
CONCLUSION: The CD incidence has been stable since 2014, but that of UC has increased with a shift to a younger age at peak incidence between 2010 and 2018. IBD clinical outcomes improved over time, with increased use of immunomodulators and biologics.PMID:38577186 | PMC:PMC10989502 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1154 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Role of exosomal circular RNAs as microRNA sponges and potential targeting for suppressing hepatocellular carcinoma growth and progression
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):994-998. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.994.ABSTRACTIn this editorial, we comment on the article by Lyu et al published in the recent issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology (2023; 2219-2840). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a frequently encountered and highly aggressive primary liver cancer, which remains the third-commonest cause of cancer-related death despite the current therapeutic modalities. There is urgency in developing novel therapeutic approaches, such as by manipulating extracellular vesicles, which constitute a highly heterogeneous nanoparticle population that contains...

Treatment of < em > Helicobacter pylori < /em > with potassium competitive acid blockers: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: VPZ-based triple therapy outperformed conventional PPI-based triple therapy in eradicating H. pylori, positioning it as a highly effective first-line regimen. Additionally, TPZ-based triple therapy was non-inferior to classical PPI triple therapy.PMID:38577188 | PMC:PMC10989498 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1213 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Early prediction and prevention of infected pancreatic necrosis
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1005-1010. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1005.ABSTRACTApproximately 20%-30% of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis develop infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), a highly morbid and potentially lethal complication. Early identification of patients at high risk of IPN may facilitate appropriate preventive measures to improve clinical outcomes. In the past two decades, several markers and predictive tools have been proposed and evaluated for this purpose. Conventional biomarkers like C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, lymphocyte count, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, and newly develo...

From liver to hormones: The endocrine consequences of cirrhosis
This article provides a comprehensive review of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of endocrine disturbances in liver cirrhosis. The review was conducted using the PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and Scielo databases, encompassing 172 articles. Liver cirrhosis is associated with endocrine disturbances, including diabetes, hypoglycemia, sarcopenia, thyroid dysfunction, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, bone disease, adrenal insufficiency, growth hormone dysfunction, and secondary hyperaldosteronism. The optimal tools for diagnosing diabetes and detecting hypoglycemia are the oral glucose tolerance test and con...

Risk of hepatitis B virus reactivation in oncological patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors: A case report and literature analysis
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1253-1256. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1253.ABSTRACTHepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation (HBVr) represents a severe and potentially life-threatening condition, and preventive measures are available through blood test screening or prophylactic therapy administration. The assessment of HBVr traditionally considers factors such as HBV profile, including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, along with type of medication (chemotherapy; immunomodulants). Nevertheless, consideration of possible patient's underlying tumor and the specific malignancy type ...

Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 prevents the progression of liver injury
CONCLUSION: UGT1A1 is upregulated as a compensatory response during liver injury, and interference with this upregulation process may worsen liver injury. UGT1A1 reduces ER stress, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism disorder, thereby mitigating hepatocyte apoptosis and necroptosis.PMID:38577195 | PMC:PMC10989491 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1189 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)
