Background: Acute fatty liver disease in pregnancy (AFLP) is a low-incidence condition that usually affects women in the third trimester of pregnancy or the early postpartum period. This article reviews recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of AFLP with pancreatitis in pregnancy induced by in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Case Report: A rare case of AFLP and pancreatitis occurred in a pregnant woman with an IVF-induced twin pregnancy delivered by cesarean section. Diagnosis of this condition is difficult, and delay in accurate diagnosis and timely and appropriate treatment can lead to serious complications such as acute pancreatitis or extensive damage to multiple organs and systems, which can have significant consequences. The main therapeutic approach was the rapid administration of drugs accompanied by therapeutic measures to support liver function and pancreatic complications.

Conclusions: We would like to reemphasize the importance of multidisciplinary management and rapid intervention in AFLP with acute pancreatitis after IVF.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the alteration of microbiota and SCFA in gut and inflammation in acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients, and to test the hypothesis that a disorder of gut microbiota will lead to the alteration of SCFA, which will aggravate inflammation in AECOPD patients.

Methods And Results: 24 patients with AECOPD and 18 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Gut microbiota were analyzed by 16S rDNA and serum was used to detect levels of inflammatory factors by ELISA.

Pharmacokinetic and Metabolomic Studies with BBT-059 in Nonhuman Primates Exposed to Total-Body Gamma Radiation.

Radiat Res

December 2024

Division of Radioprotectants, Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Therapeutics, F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland.

BBT-059 is a long-acting PEGylated interleukin-11 analog that has been shown to have hematopoiesis-promoting and anti-apoptotic attributes, and is being studied as a radiation countermeasure for the hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS). This potential countermeasure has been demonstrated to enhance survival in irradiated mice. To investigate the toxicity and safety profile of this agent, 14 nonhuman primates (NHPs, rhesus macaques) were administered two different doses of BBT-059 subcutaneously 24 h after 4 Gy total-body irradiation and were monitored for the next 60 days postirradiation.

Could New Palm-Free Structured Lipids Mitigate Postprandial Hyperlipidemia and Inflammation Induced by High-Fat Meals in Swiss Mice?

J Am Nutr Assoc

January 2025

Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Food Engineering, Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP, Campinas, SP, Brazil.

A high-fat meal can cause postprandial hyperlipemia, initiating an acute inflammatory response. New structured lipids (SLs) free from trans and palm fatty acids are emerging as food structurants. We evaluated the postprandial response and inflammatory profiles in Swiss mice after oral administration of SLs in high-fat meals.

Introduction Although metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is becoming more common in individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), it is still unknown how this condition relates to postoperative complications of HCC. While hepatitis B/C virus (HBV/HCV) infection and alcohol use are primary risk factors, MAFLD has emerged as a significant contributor to HCC incidence. Understanding the prognostic impact of MAFLD on HCC outcomes, particularly post-radical resection, is essential.

Hepatobiliary and pancreatic manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: an umbrella review of meta-analyses.

Therap Adv Gastroenterol

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, Peking University First Hospital, No. 8 Xishiku Street, Xicheng District, Beijing 100034, China.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), can affect the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, substantially impacting the life quality of patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the quality of evidence and comprehensively assess the validity of associations of IBD with hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases.

Design: We performed an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations.
