AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We report a case of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis complicated with acute pancreatitis induced by hypertriglyceridemia in a young Japanese woman. A precise examination of the lipid profile showed decreased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase activity levels, while the LPL mass was at the minimum level of the normal range.

Wernicke encephalopathy in a patient with drug-induced liver failure: a case report.
Front Nutr

Department of Infectious Diseases, Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Introduction: Wernicke encephalopathy is a metabolic disease mainly associated with vitamin B1 deficiency, which is common in chronic alcoholism. Non-alcoholic Wernicke encephalopathy is difficult for early diagnosis.
Case Presentation: One case involved a 62-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with drug-induced liver failure.

Background And Aims: Myocardial infarction is a leading cause of death in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The two diseases share elevated very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) carrying both triglycerides and cholesterol; however, in NAFLD mainly triglycerides accumulate in liver cells while in myocardial infarction mainly cholesterol accumulates in the atherosclerotic plaque. We hypothesized that VLDL triglycerides preferentially associate with risk of NAFLD, while VLDL cholesterol preferentially associates with risk of myocardial infarction.

Department of Radiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, No.324 Jingwu Road, Jinan, Shandong, 251200, China.
Background: The purpose of our study was to investigate the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) progression using non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography (CTA).
Methods: Patients with AAA and age- and sex-matched healthy subjects who underwent abdominal CTA and non-enhanced CT examination between January 2015 and January 2023 from four hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with AAA were divided into progression (growth rate > 10 mL/year) and non-progression groups, as well as those with NAFLD and without NAFLD, based on abdominal CT results.
The role of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in dyslipidemia and liver disorders.

Cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, leading to reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity, cholesterol ester accumulation, and systemic manifestations including liver dysfunction and dyslipidemia. We report the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with subacute jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin 51 mg/dL, predominantly direct), and dyslipidemia characterized by elevated total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels. Initial diagnostic workup for acute hepatitis and liver dysfunction, including serological and imaging studies, was unremarkable.

Background And Aim: A healthy diet has been recommended for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aim to investigate the associations of diet quality indices with the risk of developingmetabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).
Methods: We conducted this nested case-control study by recruiting 968 cases with MAFLD and 964 controls from the participants of the baseline phase of the Sabzevar Persian Cohort Study (SPCS).
