Efficacy and Safety of Tenofovir Amibufenamide and Tenofovir Alafenamide for First-Time HBV-Related Decompensated Cirrhosis.

Clinical studies of tenofovir amibufenamide (TMF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) treatment in patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis (HBV-DC) are limited. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of TMF versus TAF in naive-treated patients with first-time HBV-DC. Based on the antiviral drug used, patients were categorised into the TMF group and the TAF group.

DNAJB4 suppresses breast cancer progression and promotes tumor immunity by regulating the Hippo signaling pathway.

Purpose: Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. Low DNAJB4 expression levels are strongly correlated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. However, the molecular mechanism by which DNAJB4 regulates breast cancer progression is unclear.

Clinical characteristics, CT signs, and pathological findings of Pyrrolizidine alkaloids-induced sinusoidal obstructive syndrome: a retrospective study.

Background: One major etiology of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) in China is the intake of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Since PAs-induced HSOS is a rare disease that has not been clearly characterized until now, the aim of this study was to investigate clinical characteristics, CT features, and pathological findings of PA-induced HSOS.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 116 patients with PAs-induced HSOS and 68 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome from Jan 2006 to Sep 2016.

Diagnostic performance of Contrast-enhanced CT in Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids-induced Hepatic Sinusoidal Obstructive Syndrome.

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) can be caused by pyrrolizidine alkaloids(PAs)-containing herbals. Since PAs exposure is obscure and clinical presentation of HSOS is unspecific, it is challenge to establish the diagnosis of PAs-induced HSOS. Gynura segetum is one of the most wide-use herbals containing PAs.
