Hepatic traumas are one of the most common sequelae of abdominal injuries. The Authors report 24 cases of hepatic traumas about a casuistry of 104 patients, that, in the decade '74-'84, had an abdominal traumatism. The quality of injuries, the therapeutic actions, and results are described.

Burn-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocytes: The role of methylation-controlled J protein silencing.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Gastrointestinal, Trauma, and Endocrine Surgery, Department of Surgery (A.P., K.M.M., A.C.Q., E.J.K., J.-P.I.), Division of Burn Research (E.J.K.), and Division of Alcohol Research (E.J.K.), Department of Immunology and Microbiology, University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado.

Background: Burn injuries trigger a systemic hyperinflammatory response, leading to multiple organ dysfunction, including significant hepatic damage. The liver plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and metabolism after burn injuries, making it critical to develop strategies to mitigate hepatic impairment. This study investigates the role of methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ), an inner mitochondrial protein that represses complex I in burn-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, using an in vitro Alpha Mouse Liver 12 cell model.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is an unavoidable surgical complication of liver transplantation and the leading cause of poor graft function and increased mortality post-transplantation. Multiple mechanisms have been implicated in ischemia-reperfusion injury; however, the characteristic changes at the transcriptional and metabolic levels in the early, intermediate, and late phases of ischemia-reperfusion injury remain unclear. In the study, mice underwent laparotomy following anesthesia, and the blood vessels of the liver were clipped using a vascular clamp to form 70% warm ischemia of the liver.

Article Synopsis
  • This research explores the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) across different types of chronic liver disease (CLD), finding that their activation follows similar mechanisms regardless of the injury type.
  • A single-cell RNA-sequencing atlas was created to categorize HSCs into three profiles: quiescent, initiatory, and myofibroblasts, indicating consistent activation patterns in both mice and humans.
  • The study highlights key transcription factors and novel ligands involved in HSC activation, paving the way for new insights and potential treatments for liver fibrosis.

A Guide to Pathophysiology, Signaling Pathways, and Preclinical Models of Liver Fibrosis.

Liver fibrosis is potentially a reversible form of liver disease that evolved from the early stage of liver scarring as a consequence of chronic liver injuries. Recurrent injuries in the liver without any appropriate medication cause the injuries to get intense and deeper, which gradually leads to the progression of irreversible cirrhosis or carcinoma. Unfortunately, there are no approved treatment strategies for reversing hepatic fibrosis, making it one of the significant risk factors for developing advanced liver disorders and liver disease-associated mortality.

Background: Liver fibrosis is a complex reparative process in response to chronic liver injuries, with limited effective therapeutic options available in clinical practice. During liver fibrosis, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) undergo phenotypic changes and also play a role in modulating cellular communications. Si-Wu-Tang (SWT), a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, has been extensively studied for its effectiveness in treating hematological, gynecological and hepatic diseases.
