- - Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and this study explores the methylation status of tumor suppressor genes RASSF1 and CDKN2AIP in patients with HBV-induced liver cirrhosis.
- - The study involved 47 patients divided into two groups: those with both HCC and liver cirrhosis (22 patients), and those with only liver cirrhosis (25 patients).
- - Results indicated that methylation levels of the CDKN2AIP gene were significantly lower in patients with HCC, suggesting that cfDNA methylation of these genes could be valuable for diagnosing HCC in HBV cirrhosis patients
What is the effect of subepithelial lesions of the esophagus on esophageal motility?
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
September 2022
Objective: Esophageal motility is regulated both by coordinated stimulation and inhibition of the circular and longitudinal muscle layers of the esophagus. Although there are many diseases known to have an effect on esophageal motility, the effect of subepithelial lesions (SELs) of the esophagus on esophageal motility, which is often detected incidentally, remains still unclear. The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of SELs of the esophagus on esophageal motility evaluating it by high-resolution manometry (HRM).

- A study was conducted on 207 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during the COVID-19 pandemic to assess their health and medication management affected by the virus.
- Out of the participants, 12 were diagnosed with COVID-19, with most experiencing lung issues; many IBD patients had medication changes during this time, particularly with anti-TNF treatments.
- The findings indicated that the incidence of COVID-19 was relatively low among this group, and most patients diagnosed with the virus were in the active stage of their IBD.
