Maternal viral load and hepatitis B virus mother-to-child transmission risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29473269 Hepatitis B Hepatol Res. 2018 Feb 23. doi: 10.1111/hepr.13072. [Epub ahead of print] Chen HL, Zha ML, Cai JY, Qin G. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between maternal viral load and mother-to-childtransmission (MTCT) risk in HBeAg-positive mothers. METHODS: PubMed and Web of Science were systematically searched. We compared MTCT incidence between maternal hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA positive and negative group. We also examined the dose-response effect of this relationship.

Investigation of Clinical and Pathological Relationships between Adult- and Pediatric-type NASH in Korean Children https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29349944 NAFLD J Korean Med Sci. 2018 Jan 29;33(5):e34. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2018.33.e34. Yoon J, Park BH, Kim JH, Moon JH, Lee YH, Jang SM, Kim YJ. Abstract BACKGROUND: Histologically, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is categorized into adult-type (type 1) and pediatric-type (type 2). The origination of the histological difference between the two types and how they differ clinically remain uncertain. We aimed to understand the incidence and clinical characteristics of the two types of NASH in Korean children, and to investigate the association between their pathological type and clinical characteristics, using anthropometric and laboratory data.

[Epub ahead of print] van der Doef HPJ, van Rheenen PF, van Rosmalen M, Rogiers X, Verkade HJ; pediatric liver transplantation centers of Eurotransplant. Abstract INTRODUCTION: Liver transplantation (LTx) is the standard treatment for biliary atresia (BA) patients with end-stage liver disease. The prognosis after LTx has steadily improved, but overall prognosis of BA-patients is also determined by mortality before LTx. We aimed to quantify mortality in young BA-patients on the Eurotransplant waiting list and to determine the effect of disease severity and age at time of listing on pretransplant mortality.
