Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) has a reversible effect on graft and its survival.
Objective: To evaluate the relation between ACR and clinical factors in recipients of liver transplant allografts.
Methods: 47 consecutive liver recipients were retrospectively studied. Their data were extracted from records and analyzed.
Results: 38 (81%) of the 47 recipients experienced ACR during a 24-month follow-up. The rate of rejection was associated with none of the studied factors-recipient's blood group, sex, age, familial history of disease, drugs and blood products received, type of donor, and Child score and class.
Conclusion: During a limited follow-up period, we did not find any association between ACR and suspected risk factors.

Background And Aims: The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) remains unclear. To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with ACLF complicated with COVID-19 in order to provide evidence for the precise treatment of this patient population.
Methods: A total of 34 ACLF patients with COVID-19 admitted to these three hospitals from December 2022 to August 2023 were included as the ACLF+COVID-19 group.

Our understanding of the functional heterogeneity of resident versus recruited macrophages in the diseased liver is limited. A population of recruited lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) has been reported to populate the diseased liver alongside resident Kupffer cells (KCs). However, the precise roles of these distinct macrophage subsets remain elusive.
