Background: Evidence is accumulating that liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are involved in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Previous studies have suggested that the endothelial biomarker soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) is to an important extent liver-derived.
Aims: To study the relationship of intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content with sE-selectin at the population level.
Methods: This study was conducted in participants of The Maastricht Study (n = 1,634), a population-based cohort study enriched with patients with type 2 diabetes. We assessed the cross-sectional association between IHL content, quantified by MRI, and sE-selectin via multivariable regression with adjustment for age, sex, type 2 diabetes, educational level, BMI, Dutch Healthy Diet index, physical activity, and the Matsuda index.
Results: Standardized IHL content was associated with (log) sE-selectin (age-, sex- and type 2 diabetes-adjusted regression coefficient [B]: 0.048 [95%CI:0.038;0.058], p<0.001), even after full adjustment (B: 0.030 [0.019;0.042], p<0.001). Such an association was not observed for soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) levels.
Conclusion: IHL content is an independent determinant of sE-selectin at the population level. These findings support further studies to unravel the involvement of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in the different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the specific role of E-selectin herein.

Background And Purpose: Rescue stent (RS) is an accepted rescue option after failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS)-related large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, the long-term outcomes (≥ 12 months) of RS have not yet been elucidated.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 154 patients with RS for ICAS-related LVO, which were identified from prospectively maintained multicenter database of RS after MT failure, to assess good outcome (mRS 0-2), mortality, stroke recurrence, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) and stent patency.
Amelioration of fructose-induced hepatic lipid accumulation by vitamin D supplementation and high-intensity interval training in male Sprague‒Dawley rats.

Background: Intrahepatic lipid accumulation (IHL), a hallmark of metabolic disorders, is closely associated with de novo lipogenesis (DNL). Notably, fructose feeding increased the DNL. Lifestyle modifications resulting from dietary changes and increased physical activity/exercise can decrease the IHL content.

Light intensity is a critical environmental factor influencing plant growth and development. To survive high light conditions, plants have evolved various protective mechanisms, including non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). However, NPQ can limit effective photosynthetic yield when transitioning to low light conditions.

Article Synopsis
- - The article discusses how international armed conflicts can lead to the occupation of territories, where some local populations may cooperate with occupying forces, a move that can be seen as treason in certain EU countries.
- - It specifically focuses on the challenges faced by medical and pharmaceutical workers in occupied areas, using Ukraine as an example, highlighting the conflict between their obligations under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and the pressures they encounter.
- - The authors argue that Russia's occupation policies violate IHL and create conditions where healthcare professionals may unintentionally engage in actions considered criminal, while also examining the legal implications of their work in such contexts.

Introduction: Metabolic-dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is a common cause of chronic liver disease. This review assessed the efficacy of a Low-Calorie Diet (LCD) on liver health and body weight in people living with MASLD and obesity.
Methods: The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021296501), and a literature search was conducted using multiple databases.
