AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Hepatic myelopathy is a rare complication of hepatic insufficiency, causing progressive spastic paraparesis. There are few reports detailing the clinical and diagnostic aspects of this uncommon cause of neurological deterioration in patients with liver disease. Early recognition of this disorder will become more important as patients with liver disease survive longer due to medical advances, including liver transplantation. We present an additional patient with hepatic myelopathy associated with infantile portal vein thrombosis and review the previous reports of hepatic myelopathy in the English literature.

Introduction: Ex vivo preconditioning increases the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in terms of antioxidant activity, growth factor production, homing, differentiation, and immunomodulation. Therefore, it is considered an effective strategy to be used before transplantation and therapeutic application of MSCs. Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), valproic acid (VPA), has been reported to induce hepatic differentiation in MSCs.

Chronic liver diseases, including cirrhosis and liver failure, remain formidable challenges due to their complex progression and limited therapeutic options. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a game-changing approach, leveraging its potent immunomodulatory, anti-fibrotic, and regenerative capabilities, along with the ability to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. This review delves into the latest advances in MSC-based treatments for chronic and end-stage liver diseases, as highlighted in current clinical trials.

Background: For characterizing health states, fat distribution is more informative than overall body size. We used population-based whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify distinct body composition subphenotypes and characterize associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
Methods: Bone marrow, visceral, subcutaneous, cardiac, renal, hepatic, skeletal muscle and pancreatic adipose tissue were measured by MRI in n = 299 individuals from the population-based KORA cohort.

Typhoid fever is a human-specific disease caused by subspecies of Salmonella enterica (Salmonella Typhi). It spreads through ingestion of contaminated food or water and is diagnosed through blood culture or bone marrow culture. It typically presents as an intestinal infection, with a few patients developing severe disseminated infections.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to investigate the impact of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (BMSC-Exos) on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms in liver fibrosis.
Material And Methods: BMSC-Exos were co-incubated with LPS-activated LX-2 cells. Fibrosis markers, iron content, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and ferroptosis-related proteins were assessed.
