Despite differences in pathological analysis, focal liver lesions are not always distinguishable in contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET). This issue can cause problems of differential diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, especially in patients affected by HBV/HCV chronic liver disease or fatty liver disease. Radiomics is an innovative imaging approach that extracts and analyzes non-visible quantitative imaging features, supporting the radiologist in the most challenging differential diagnosis when the best-known methods are not conclusive. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the most significant CT and MRI texture features, which can discriminate between the main benign and malignant focal liver lesions and can be helpful to predict the response to pharmacological or surgical therapy and the patient's prognosis.

The adiponectin-PPARγ axis in hepatic stellate cells regulates liver fibrosis.
Cell Rep

Touchstone Diabetes Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA. Electronic address:
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are key drivers of local fibrosis. Adiponectin, conventionally thought of as an adipokine, is also expressed in quiescent HSCs. However, the impact of its local expression on the progression of liver fibrosis remains unclear.

Department of Ultrasonic Intervention, Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital, Second Military Medical University (Naval Medical University), Shanghai, China.
Background: This study investigated the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of ablative treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods: Retrospective data were collected from HCC patients who underwent ablation between January 2016 and December 2019. The baseline clinicopathological characteristics and long-term outcomes, such as overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), were compared between those with and without DM.
Innovation and diversity in public health team engagement in local alcohol premises licensing: qualitative interview findings from the ExILEnS study.
Public Health Res (Southampt)
January 2025
Institute for Social Marketing and Health, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland, UK.
Background: Evidence suggests that controls on the physical and temporal availability of alcohol can reduce alcohol-related harms. Public health teams in England and Scotland have in recent years been given a statutory role in licensing systems through which premises are granted permits to sell alcohol. The Exploring the Impact of alcohol premises Licensing in England and Scotland study examined public health team efforts to engage in alcohol licensing from 2012 to 2019.

Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, Guiyang, China.
Objective: For patients with contraindications to hormone therapy, the absence of effective treatments for ovarian dysfunction post chemotherapy represents a critical issue requiring resolution. Local administration of mitochondria may enhance ovarian function in premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) by ameliorating diminished mitochondrial activity. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of literature on the efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation through intravenous injection, a less invasive and more convenient method than local injection, for the improvement of ovarian function in POI following chemotherapy.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.
