Background: Autophagy is a cellular process in which damaged organelles or unnecessary proteins are encapsulated into double-membrane structures and transported to lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy plays a crucial role in various liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This study aims to elucidate the role of autophagy in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through bibliometric analysis.

Methods: Literature was retrieved from Web of Science CoreCollection database, and the search time was from January 01, 2004 to December 31, 2023. Data retrieval was performed using the Bibliometrix package in R software. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were utilized to visualize the research hotspots and trends related to the effect of autophagy on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Results: A total of 966 papers were obtained, published in 343 journals from 1385 institutions across 57 countries. The journals with the most publications were the "International Journal of Molecular Sciences" and "Scientific Reports." China had the highest number of published papers. The most productive authors were Yen Paul M and Jung Tae Woo, while Singh R was the most frequently co-cited author. Emerging research hotspots were associated with keywords such as insulin resistance, ferroptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and mitochondrial function.

Conclusion: Research on autophagy in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is still in its early stages, with a growing body of literature. This study is the first to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, synthesizing research trends and advancements. It identifies current development trends, global cooperation models, foundational knowledge, research hotspots, and emerging frontiers in the field.

Background And Aims: This study evaluated the predictive value of the APF risk score in East Asian patients undergoing open nephrectomy and its correlation with hypertension and NAFLD.

Methods And Results: A retrospective study used the clinical data of 82 patients who underwent ON between January 2010 and December 2022. Per their APF score, patients were categorized into groups A (0-2 points) and B (3-4 points).

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has developed as a leading public wellness challenge as a result of changes in dietary patterns. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of effective pharmacotherapy methods for NAFLD. Wang's empirical formula (WSF) has demonstrated considerable clinical efficacy in treating metabolic disorders for years.

This study evaluated the ability of the triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio to identify individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) population. We retrospectively studied 4,769 patients with NAFLD from the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University (2020-2023). Binary logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and lipid parameters with T2DM.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer, with cirrhosis being its strongest risk factor. Interestingly, an increasing number of HCC cases is also observed without cirrhosis. We developed an HCC model via intrasplenic injection of highly tumorigenic HCC cells, which, due to cellular tropism, invade the liver and allow for a controllable disease progression.

Background: The global prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is approximately 30%, and the condition can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has been shown to be effective in treating obesity and related disorders, including NAFLD.

Objective: In this study, comprehensive machine learning was used to identify biomarkers for precise treatment of NAFLD from the perspective of MBS.
