Kimberly A. Forde, Michael B. Fallon, Michael J. Krowka, Michael Sprys, David S. Goldberg, Karen L. Krok, Mamta Patel, Grace Lin, Jae K. Oh, Carl D. Mottram, Paul D. Scanlon, Steven M. Kawut, for the Pulmonary Vascular Complications of Liver Disease 2 Study Group – 2 August 2018 – Screening for hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) using pulse oximetry is recommended in liver transplant (LT) candidates because mortality is increased, independently of the severity of the oxygenation defect. LT exception points may be afforded to those with HPS and severe hypoxemia.

Stauber, Vicente Arroyo, Joan Clària – 2 August 2018 – Decompensated cirrhosis is characterized by exuberant systemic inflammation. Although the inducers of this feature remain unknown, the presence of circulating forms of oxidized albumin, namely human nonmercaptalbumin 1 (HNA1) and HNA2, is a common finding in cirrhosis.

The HCV nonstructural 5A (NS5A) protein, in addition to its role in viral replication and assembly, has long been known to hamper the interferon (IFN) response.

Ji Hye Min, Jong Man Kim, Young Kon Kim, Tae Wook Kang, Soon Jin Lee, Gyu Seong Choi, Seo‐Youn Choi, Soohyun Ahn – 2 August 2018 – We intraindividually compared the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with extracellular contrast agents (ECA‐MRI) and MRI with hepatobiliary agents (HBA‐MRI) for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI‐RADS).
Keisaku Sato, Marco Marzioni, Fanyin Meng, Heather Francis, Shannon Glaser, Gianfranco Alpini – 2 August 2018 – Ductular reaction (DR) is characterized by the proliferation of reactive bile ducts induced by liver injuries. DR is pathologically recognized as bile duct hyperplasia and is commonly observed in biliary disorders. It can also be identified in various liver disorders including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. DR is associated with liver fibrosis and damage, and the extent of DR parallels to patient mortality.
Long‐Zi Liu, Zhao Zhang, Bo‐Hao Zheng, Yang Shi, Men Duan, Li‐Jie Ma, Zhi‐Chao Wang, Liang‐Qing Dong, Ping‐Ping Dong, Jie‐Yi Shi, Shu Zhang, Zhen‐Bin Ding, Ai‐Wu Ke, Ya Cao, Xiao‐Ming Zhang, Ruibin Xi, Jian Zhou, Jia Fan, Xiao‐Ying Wang, Qiang Gao – 2 August 2018 – Chemokines play a key role in orchestrating the recruitment and positioning of myeloid cells within the tumor microenvironment. However, the tropism regulation and functions of these cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not completely understood.
