Delayed Sleeve Gastrectomy Following Liver Transplantation: A 5‐Year Experience

Mackenzie C. Morris, Andrew D. Jung, Young Kim, Tiffany C. Lee, Tiffany E. Kaiser, Jonathan R. Thompson, Khurram Bari, Shimul A. Shah, Robert M. Cohen, Daniel P. Schauer, Eric P. Smith, Tayyab S. Diwan – 13 September 2019 – Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States over the past decade, and recent studies have shown this trend in the liver transplantation (LT) population. These patients may be candidates for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) to promote significant and sustained weight loss to prevent recurrence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Protective Effect of SMAD‐Specific E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 1 in Alcoholic Steatohepatitis in Mice

Jan Petrasek, Denisa Erhartova, Beth Levine – 12 September 2019 – Excessive accumulation of lipids in the liver is crucial in the pathogenesis of alcoholic steatohepatitis and may be partly mediated by impaired degradation of lipid droplets by autophagy. The E3 ubiquitin ligase SMAD‐specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SMURF1) regulates selective autophagy by ubiquitinating proteins on cargo destined for autophagic delivery to the lysosome for degradation. Here, we evaluated the role of SMURF1 in the regulation of hepatic lipid degradation in alcoholic steatohepatitis.
