Flores, María Teresa Vallejo‐Cremades, Luis Olmedilla, José Pérez Peña, Rafael Bañares, Lisardo Boscá, Marta Casado, Paloma Martín‐Sanz – 29 August 2018 – Liver ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a serious clinical problem affecting liver transplantation outcomes. IRI causes up to 10% of early organ failure and predisposes to chronic rejection. Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) is involved in different liver diseases, but the significance of COX‐2 in IRI is a matter of controversy.

Bowlus, for the GS‐US‐321‐0102 Investigators – 28 August 2018 – Lysyl oxidase like‐2 (LOXL2) plays a central role in fibrogenesis and is elevated in the serum and liver of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Shah, Shiv K. Sarin, Ramon Bataller, Ashwani K. Singal – 28 August 2018 – Identifying patients at high risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization among patients admitted with severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is an unmet clinical need. We performed a multicentric prospective cohort study using data from 4 different cohorts on well‐characterized patients hospitalized with severe AH.

Mills, Xia Li, Song Yi, Nidhi Sahni – 28 August 2018 – The interaction between RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) and RNA plays an important role in regulating cellular function. However, decoding genome‐wide protein–RNA regulatory networks as well as how cancer‐related mutations impair RNA regulatory activities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains mostly undetermined.

Ann Robinson, Hesam Tavakoli, Benny Liu, Taft Bhuket, Robert J. Wong – 28 August 2018 – Individuals from the 1945‐1965 birth cohort account for the majority of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases in the United States. Understanding trends in HCC among this birth cohort is vital given the increasing burden of chronic liver disease among this group. We retrospectively evaluated trends and disparities in HCC tumor stage at the time of diagnosis among the 1945‐1965 birth cohort in the United States using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registry.

Jonggi Choi, Gi‐Ae Kim, Seungbong Han, Woochang Lee, Sail Chun, Young‐Suk Lim – 28 August 2018 – We aimed to determine the surveillance performance of alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP), lectin‐reactive AFP (AFP‐L3), des‐gamma‐carboxy prothrombin (DCP), and their combinations for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by using prospectively collected longitudinal samples in patients at risk.
