[Epub ahead of print] Umetsu S, Inui A, Sogo T, Komatsu H, Fujisawa T. Abstract BACKGROUND: Wisteria floribunda agglutinin positive Mac-2 binding protein (WFA+ -M2BP) is a novel serum marker of hepatic fibrosis in adults with chronic hepatitis C. However, it remains unclear whether serum WFA+ -M2BP levels are associated with the progression of liverhistology in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) . METHODS: Published on: Nov-2017 Read more
Bone Mineral Density of Very Long-term Survivors After Childhood Liver Transplantation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29287007 J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017 Dec 28. doi: 10.1097/MPG.0000000000001881. [Epub ahead of print] Ee LC, Noble C, Fawcett J, Cleghorn GJ. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Liver transplant patients are at risk of osteopenia and fractures but limited information is available in long-term survivors after childhood transplantation. This study aimed to assess bone mineral density (BMD) of very long-term, >5 years, survivors after liver transplantation in childhood. METHODS: Published on: Dec-2017 Read more	Long-term outcomes of six patients after partial internal biliary diversion for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29174177 Cholestasis J Pediatr Surg. 2017 Nov 23. pii: S0022-3468(17)30711-X. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2017.10.055. [Epub ahead of print] Erginel B, Soysal FG, Durmaz O, Celik A, Salman T. Abstract BACKGROUND: Partial internal biliary diversion (PIBD) is an alternative approach for the treatment of devastating pruritus in patients with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). In these patients quality of life can be improved and progression of liver disease can be delayed while waiting for liver transplantation. The aim of our study was to evaluate six patients with PFIC who have undergone PIBD in long-term follow-up. METHODS: Published on: Nov-2017 Read more

[Epub ahead of print] Mitchell E, Ranganathan S, McKiernan P, Squires RH, Strauss K, Soltys K, Mazariegos G, Squires JE. Abstract BACKGROUND: Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I (CNI) arises from biallelic variants of UGT1A1 that abrogate UGT1A1 activity resulting in unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Historically, liver parenchyma in CNI was considered structurally and histologically normal. Recent review of CNI liver explants revealed fibrosis. Our aim was to investigate the association between hepatic histology and disease phenotype in CNI. METHODS: Published on: Nov-2017 Read more
