Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy and generally develops from liver cirrhosis (LC), which is primarily caused by the chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus. Reliable liquid biopsy methods for HCC screening in high-risk populations are urgently needed. Here, we establish a porous silicon-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (PSALDI-MS) technology to profile metabolite information hidden in human serum in a high throughput manner.

Critically ill patients with cirrhosis and liver failure not uncommonly have hypotension due to multifactorial reasons, that include hyperdynamic state with increased cardiac index, low systemic vascular resistance due to portal hypertension, following the use of beta blocker or diuretic therapy, and severe sepsis. These changes are mediated by microvascular alterations in the liver, systemic inflammation, activation of renin angiotensin aldosterone system, and vasodilatation due to endothelial dysfunction. Hemodynamic assessment includes measuring inferior vena cava indices, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance using point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), in addition to arterial waveform analysis, or pulmonary artery pressures, and lactate clearance to guide fluid resuscitation.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency (AATD) is a monogenic disease caused by misfolding of AAT variants resulting in gain-of-toxic aggregation in the liver and loss of monomer activity in the lung leading to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using high-throughput screening, we discovered a bioactive natural product, phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), highly enriched in cruciferous vegetables, including watercress and broccoli, which improves the level of monomer secretion and neutrophil elastase (NE) inhibitory activity of AAT-Z through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) redox sensor protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) A4 (PDIA4). The intracellular polymer burden of AAT-Z can be managed by combination treatment of PEITC and an autophagy activator.

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) significantly influences the progression of liver diseases. Through clinical observations and database analyses, it has been established that patients coinfected with HDV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) experience accelerated progression toward cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver failure compared to those infected solely with HBV. A higher viral load correlates with increased replicative activity, enhanced infectivity, and more severe disease manifestations.

The purpose of this work was to ascertain the impact of dietary inclusion of Dunaliella salina (Ds) and Arthrospira platensis (Ap) mixture as growth promoters on growth performance, carcass traits, liver and renal function, lipid profile, immunology and economics in quail chicks. 240 Un -sexed seven-day quail chicks were separated into four treatment groups with six replicates of ten chicks per group. The treatment groups are: control: basal diet; DsAp0.
