Chiao, Helene Pelicano, Peng Huang, Yu‐hong Li, Rui‐hua Xu – 11 March 2014 – The purpose of this study was to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the pathology of colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis and investigate their underlying mechanisms.

The effect of anterograde persufflation on energy charge and hepatocyte function in donation after cardiac death livers unsuitable for transplant

Shirin Elizabeth Khorsandi, Suttiruk Jitraruch, Lynette Fairbanks, Corina Cotoi, Wayel Jassem, Hector Vilca‐Melendez, Andreas Prachalias, Anil Dhawan, Nigel Heaton, Parthi Srinivasan – 7 March 2014 – Donation after cardiac death (DCD) livers are considered to be marginal organs for solid organ and cell transplantation. Low energy charge (EC) and low purine quantity within the liver parenchyma has been associated with poor outcome after liver transplantation.

C5a/C5aR pathway is essential for the pathogenesis of murine viral fulminant hepatitis by way of potentiating Fgl2/fibroleukin expression

Gui‐lian Xu, Jian Chen, Fei Yang, Gui‐qing Li, Li‐xin Zheng, Yu‐zhang Wu – 7 March 2014 – Viral fulminant hepatitis (FH) remains a serious clinical problem with very high mortality. Lacking understanding of FH pathogenesis has in essence hindered efficient clinical treatment. Inferring from a correlation observed between the genetic differences in the complement component 5 (C5) and the susceptibility of mouse strains to murine hepatitis virus strain‐3 (MHV‐3) infections, we propose that excessive complement activation plays a critical role in the development of FH.
