Enoxaparin is commonly used for prophylaxis as an anticoagulant in hospital settings. Although enoxaparin has been known to cause many minor adverse reactions, hepatocellular injury is one of the rare side effects which can impact clinical course, marked by an asymptomatic rise in liver function panel tests. In this paper, we not only delineate the relationship between enoxaparin-induced hepatocellular injury but also associate it with fevers that have not been previously documented. Furthermore, we posit the Moderna COVID19 vaccine as a potential contributor to this outcome. We hypothesize that the link between enoxaparin and hepatic injury is possibly due to the inflammatory state, which may be augmented by the vaccine.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognised as potential biomarkers due to their specific expression patterns in different biological tissues and their changes in expression under pathological conditions. MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is a vertebrate-specific miRNA that is predominantly expressed in the liver and plays an important role in liver metabolism and development. Dysregulation of miR-122 expression is associated with several liver-related diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma and drug-induced liver injury (DILI).

Background: Ubiquitin-specific protease 53 (USP53) deficiency is associated with familial intrahepatic cholestasis in which serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity is relatively low. However, how USP53 deficiency contributes to cholestasis is obscure. No animal model has been reported.

Objective: To investigate the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on liver function and prognosis in patients with HBV infection.
Methods: A total of 154 HBV-positive patients (HBV ( +) group) and 154 HBV-negative patients (HBV (-) group) diagnosed with COVID-19 at Taizhou Hospital between December 10, 2022, and January 31, 2023, were included in this study. Clinical characteristics, treatment, and laboratory findings were collected from patients at three time points: before (T1), during (T2), and at the time of discharge (T3) from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-2α Promotes Liver Fibrosis by Inducing Hepatocellular Death.

The activation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1α and 2α in the liver is closely linked to the progression of fatty liver diseases. Prior studies indicated that disrupting hepatocyte HIF-2α attenuates diet-induced hepatic steatosis, subsequently decreasing fibrosis. However, the direct role of hepatocyte HIF-2α in liver fibrosis has not been addressed.
