To investigate the association between overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) and liver pathology after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation in cirrhotic patients. From July 2015 to April 2024, 73 patients from 4 hospitals in China who received TIPS creation and liver biopsy were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Based on whether OHE occurred within 3 months after TIPS creation, the patients were categorized into OHE (n = 29) and non-OHE (n = 44) groups.

Liver fibrosis is a critical liver disease that can progress to more severe manifestations, such as cirrhosis, yet no effective targeted therapies are available. Here, we identify that ATF4, a master transcription factor in ER stress response, promotes liver fibrosis by facilitating a stress response-independent epigenetic program in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Unlike its canonical role in regulating UPR genes during ER stress, ATF4 activates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gene transcription under fibrogenic conditions.

Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare genetic disorder with multi-system involvement. Liver fibrosis is a long-term complication of GD, potentially leading to cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are currently no validated clinical tools for the monitoring of liver fibrosis in patients with GD.

Background: Glycholic acid (GCA) can dynamically reflect the process of liver injury, and can be used for early diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of early hepatitis and cirrhosis. The highly sensitive detection of liver injury markers is conducive to a more accurate and effective auxiliary diagnosis of liver diseases. In addition, the low trigger potential helps to avoid more chemical interference and improve the detection sensitivity.

To systematically evaluate the efficacy of Fuzheng Huayu (FZHY) tablets/capsules on hepatitis B-associated liver fibrosis or cirrhosis based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in order to provide more accurate evidence-based medicine for clinical rational drug use. Randomized controlled clinical trial research reports related to the treatment of hepatitis B-associated liver fibrosis or cirrhosis with FZHY published in SCI and statistical source core journals were retrieved from databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).
