Article Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the distribution of genotypes and its association with severity of liver disease in patients with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) in Uttar Pradesh, India. One hundred five HBsAg positive patients were selected for the study. The DNA was extracted by using pure viral DNA extraction kit. The genotype of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was identified by using polymerase chain reaction- based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, by using AvaII and DpnII restriction enzyme to see the different patterns of cleavage that would occur at this specific site. Among 105 HBsAg positive chronic liver disease patients 58 patients were positive for HBeAg and 47 samples were HBeAg negative. Genotyping was done successfully in 91 samples. Genotype A was identified in 22% and genotype D in 78% CHB patients. Genotype A showed elevated liver enzymes much more than genotype D. The Child Pugh classification of 20 patients with genotype A was class A (n = 2), B (n = 9), C (n = 9) and of genotype D was class A (n = 13), B (n = 50) and C (n = 8). In conclusion our results showed that Genotype D was the commonest genotype in Uttar Pradesh, whereas genotype A had significantly more elevated ALT/AST levels than genotype D. (P < 0.05). Child Pugh Grade B was significantly more in patients with genotype D, whereas Child Pugh Grade C was more in genotype A.

Background & Aims: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE), one of the most serious prognostic factors for mortality in alcohol-related cirrhosis (ALD cirrhosis), is not recorded in Danish healthcare registries. However, treatment of HE with lactulose, the universal first-line treatment, can be identified through data on filled prescriptions. This study aimed to investigate if lactulose can be used as a surrogate marker of HE.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The gut microbiota, along with adenomatous polyps (AP), has emerged as a plausible contributor to CRC progression. This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of the FadA antigen derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum on the expression levels of the ANXA2 ceRNA network and assess its relevance to CRC advancement.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of Sjögren's syndrome-associated autoimmune liver disease (SS-ALD) patients and identify potential risk and prognostic factors.
Methods: SS patients with or without ALD, who visited Tongji Hospital between the years 2011 and 2021 and met the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome, were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data of the enrolled patients, including autoimmune antibodies, were collected and analyzed with principal component analysis, correlation analysis, LASSO regression, and Cox regression.
