Primary hepatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is extremely rare, and only a few dozen cases have been reported to date. It can barely be diagnosed before histopathological examination, which necessitates the exclusion of metastatic tumors. In this case, we present a 60-year-old female patient with no comorbidity. As laboratory tests and imaging examinations were not diagnostic, ultrasonography (US)-guided liver biopsy was performed and eventually revealed a definitive pathological diagnosis of hepatic SCC. After excluding metastasis, the diagnosis of primary hepatic SCC was established, and then chemotherapy and immunotherapy were performed. Additionally, a comprehensive literature search was conducted on primary hepatic SCC using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, and a total of 53 articles were retrieved with a time range from 1972 to 2022. A critical analysis was then performed to evaluate previous literature focusing on the clinical characteristics, imaging features, treatments, and prognosis.

Purpose: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a common primary hepatic tumors with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of ICC. Recently, the advance of high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technology help us look insight into the three-dimensional (3D) genome structure variation during tumorigenesis.

Background: Dogs with hepatocutaneous syndrome (HCS) have marked plasma hypoaminoacidemia, but its occurrence in dogs with chronic liver diseases not associated with HCS (non-HCS CLD) is unknown.
Objectives: To determine if plasma hypoaminoacidemia occurs in dogs with non-HCS CLD, compare plasma amino acid (PAA) profiles between dogs with non-HCS CLD and HCS, and define a sensitive and specific PAA pattern for diagnosing HCS.
Animals: Data were collected from client-owned dogs, a prospective cohort of 32 with CLD and 1 with HCS, and a retrospective cohort of 7 with HCS.
Unlabelled: Growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, with its secretion tightly regulated by complex endocrine mechanisms. Pathological conditions such as acromegaly or pituitary tumors result in elevated circulating GH levels, which have been implicated in a spectrum of metabolic disorders, potentially by regulating liver metabolism. In this study, we focused on the liver, a key organ in metabolic regulation and a primary target of GH, to investigate the impact of high circulating GH on liver metabolism.

The relative contributions of nutrients, hyperinsulinemia, hormones, inflammation, and other cues are difficult to parse as they are convoluted by interplay between the local and systemic events. Here, we used a well-established human liver microphysiological system (MPS) to establish a physiologically-relevant insulin-responsive metabolic baseline and probe how primary human hepatocytes respond to controlled perturbations in insulin, glucose, and free fatty acids (FFAs).

Bromoxynil (BML) is a toxic herbicide that is reported to cause various organ toxicities. However, there is not a single investigation conducted to elucidate the adverse impacts of BML on hepatic tissues at different dose concentrations. Therefore, the current investigation was planned to assess the deleterious effects of BML on liver against different dose concentrations.
