We report the case of a 45-year-old male soldier who was evaluated for a rapidly expanding hepatic mass following cholecystectomy and was eventually found to have isolated polycystic liver disease and express HFE H63D homozygosity. Both H63D homozygosity and isolated polycystic liver disease are only rarely associated with clinical cirrhosis. This is the first reported case of their concomitant presentation.

Fecal propionate is a signature of insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2025
Center of Reproductive Medicine, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, China.
Objective: To investigate the roles of fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Methods: The levels of SCFAs (acetate, propionate, and butyrate) in 83 patients with PCOS and 63 controls were measured, and their relationships with various metabolic parameters were analyzed. Intestinal microbiome analysis was conducted to identify relevant bacteria.
Gut microbiota and kidney function in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease participants in Cameroon: a cross-sectional study.
BMC Nephrol
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, University of Yaoundé 1, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Background And Hypothesis: Gut dysbiosis characterized by an imbalance in pathobionts (Enterobacter, Escherichia and Salmonella) and symbionts (Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Prevotella) can occur during chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. We evaluated the associations between representative symbionts (Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus) and pathobionts (Enterobacteriaceae) with kidney function in persons with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 29 ADPKD patients were matched to 15 controls at a 2:1 ratio.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder. This study investigated the mitigating effects of the polysaccharide (ACP) on a letrozole-induced PCOS rat model. Results demonstrated that ACP reduced obesity and ameliorated dyslipidemia in PCOS rats.

Article Synopsis
- Mitochondria play a crucial role in early embryo development by providing energy through mitochondrial DNA, particularly during the transition from oocyte to embryo.
- This study compared the expression of specific genes related to mitophagy and apoptosis in the culture fluids of embryos from different patient groups, including those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and varying ovarian reserves.
- The findings suggest that analyzing the gene expressions in embryo culture fluids can offer insights into mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular health in female infertility without invasive procedures.
Exploring the innate immune response in polycystic liver disease.
Cytokine
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Amsterdam UMC, the Netherlands; European Reference Network RARE-LIVER, Hamburg, Germany. Electronic address:
Rationale: The role of the innate immune system in polycystic liver disease (PLD) has been underexplored despite its potential importance in disease progression. This study explores the innate immune response in PLD patients by analyzing cytokine production of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in response to various pathogens compared to healthy controls.
Methods: Samples were collected from patients with ADPLD or ADPKD and PLD.
