    Background: Like esophageal varices, cardiac varices are often treated with endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL). However, we previously reported that EVL for cardiac varices may be associated with a high risk of rebleeding from the ulcer if the O-ring spontaneously drops off early. The efficacy and safety of para-variceal endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) with polidocanol for the treatment of cardiac varices in children and adolescents were evaluated. Methods: Eleven patients under 18 years of age with portal hypertension who underwent para-variceal EIS with polidocanol for cardiac varices with red signs, which were considered to be at high risk of bleeding, were retrospectively reviewed. Results: One session of para-variceal polidocanol-EIS was performed for each of the 11 patients. One patient experienced temporary hypoxia due to aspiration of saliva when the tracheal intubation tube was removed after the procedure but recovered by endotracheal suctioning; there were no other adverse events. In six of the eight cases in which efficacy could be evaluated, eradication of cardiac varices was achieved. Conclusion: Para-variceal polidocanol-EIS may be considered instead of EVL for small cardiac varices with red signs in pediatric patients with cardiac varices.

    Purpose: Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) due to esophageal varices (EV) is one of the factors that negatively impact native liver survival of patients with biliary atresia (BA). Gastrointestinal fibroscopy (GIF) is usually used to determine the presence of EVs; however, it requires general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to search for markers in blood tests obtained during routine check-ups that can predict the development of GIB. Methods: Data of patients with BA who underwent portoenterostomy at our hospital from 2014 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients’ data were assigned to three groups according to specific time points: Group B, which included data at GIB; Group NB-T, which included data at GIF and EV treatment; and Group NB-NT, which included data at GIF without treatment. The data in Group B were compared to those of other groups. Results: In our study, GIB occurred in 11 patients, and 12 cases and 8 cases were classified into Groups NB-NT and NB-T, respectively. Compared with the other groups, only ChE and M2BPGi in Group B showed statistically significant differences. Conclusions: ChE and M2BPGi are useful for predicting GIB.

    Background and Aim: Immune-related liver injury (liver-irAE) is a clinical problem with a potentially poor prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively collected clinical data from patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors between September 2014 and December 2021 at the Nagoya University Hospital. Using an unsupervised machine learning method, the Gaussian mixture model, to divide the cohort into clusters based on inflammatory markers, we investigated the cumulative incidence of liver-irAEs in these clusters. Results: This study included a total of 702 patients. Among them, 492 (70.1%) patients were male, and the mean age was 66.6 years. During the mean follow-up period of 423 days, severe liver-irAEs (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3) occurred in 43 patients. Patients were divided into five clusters (a, b, c, d, and e). The cumulative incidence of liver-irAE was higher in cluster c than in cluster a (hazard ratio [HR]: 13.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.70–108.76, P = 0.014), and overall survival was worse in clusters c and d than in cluster a (HR: 2.83, 95% CI: 1.77–4.50, P < 0.001; HR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.47–5.60, P = 0.002, respectively). Clusters c and d were characterized by high temperature, C-reactive protein, platelets, and low albumin. However, there were differences in the prevalence of neutrophil count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and liver metastases between both clusters. Conclusions: The combined assessment of multiple markers and body temperature may help stratify high-risk groups for developing liver-irAE.

    Aim: Changes in body composition parameters are important prognostic factors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. This study aimed to assess the clinical impact of early changes in body composition during lenvatinib (LEN) treatment on its time to treatment failure (TTF) for patients with advanced HCC. Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 65 patients who were administered LEN as the first-line treatment for unresectable HCC and evaluated the body composition change using computed tomography. We focused on the body composition change after 2 weeks of LEN treatment and assessed its impact on TTF and prognosis. Results: Significant changes in body composition were observed during 14 weeks of LEN treatment. Among these changes, mean-skeletal muscle attenuation (SMA) decreased significantly within 2 weeks (P = 0.004) without symptoms or changes in the other parameters. In multivariate analysis, this early change in mean-SMA after LEN treatment was a significant predictor of time to treatment failure (HR: 2.67, 95%CI: 1.338–5.081, P = 0.005) in patients with HCC. Conclusions: This study revealed that LEN treatment induces a change in the skeletal muscle asymptomatically for a short period, and evaluation of this change may help to predict the TTF of LEN treatment in patients with HCC.

    Background/Aim: A porous glass membrane-pumping emulsification device (GMD) enables the formation of a high-percentage water-in-oil emulsion with homogeneous and stable droplets. Although GMD is expected to improve the locoregional therapeutic effects of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), its effectiveness in the management of solitary HCC remains unclear. Patients and Methods: Patients treated for solitary HCCs (<5 cm) were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 46 patients who could not undergo liver resection and were unsuitable for radiofrequency ablation were included in this study. Among these, 22 patients underwent TACE using a GMD (GMD-TACE group) and 24 underwent stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using a robotic radiosurgery system (SBRT group). Local control rates were compared between the two groups. Results: The median HCC tumour size was 24 mm (range=12-50 mm) and 22 mm (range=8-39 mm) in the GMD-TACE and SBRT groups, respectively; however, the difference between the groups was not significant. Age, liver function test results, or Child-Pugh scores were not significantly different between the two groups. The rate of local control at 6 months after treatment was 100% in both groups. Although the 1-year local control rate was higher in the SBRT group (92.3%) than in the GMD-TACE group (81.8%), there was no significant difference in the log-rank test (p=0.654). No major treatment-related complications occurred in either group during the observation period. Conclusion: TACE with GMD could be considered an effective treatment option for the management of solitary HCC.

    Background: Postmenopausal estrogen decline increases the risk of developing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and it might accelerate progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Aims: This study aimed to investigate a novel therapy for postmenopausal women who are diagnosed with NASH. Methods: Seven-week-old female C57BL/6 J mice were divided into three experimental groups as follows: (1) sham operation (SHAM group), (2) ovariectomy (OVX group), and (3) ovariectomy + 0.02% astaxanthin (OVX + ASTX group). These three groups of mice were fed a choline-deficient high-fat (CDHF) diet for 8 weeks. Blood serum and liver tissues were collected to examine liver injury, histological changes, and hepatic genes associated with NASH. An in vitro study was performed with the hepatic stellate cell line LX-2. Results: The administration of ASTX significantly improved pathological NASH with suppressed steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, in comparison with those in the OVX-induced estrogen deficiency group. As a result, liver injury was also attenuated with reduced levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminase. In addition, our study found that ASTX supplementation decreased hepatic osteoprotegerin (OPG) in vivo, a possible factor that contributes to NASH development. In vitro, this study further confirmed that ASTX has an inhibitory effect on the secretion of OPG in LX-2 human hepatic stellate cells. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ASTX alleviates CDHF-OVX-induced pathohistological NASH with downregulated OPG, possibly via suppression of the transforming growth factor beta pathway. ASTX could has promise for use in postmenopausal women diagnosed with NASH. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

    Aim: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a major complication in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). In some cases, PVT decreases spontaneously, but the factors that predict this are still not fully understood. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study that included 77 consecutive patients with cirrhotic PVT. Forty-eight patients did not undergo anticoagulation and 29 patients did between the time of the first diagnosis of PVT and the follow-up radiological imaging undertaken 1–6 months later. A complete disappearance and 25% shrinkage of PVT was defined as complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR), respectively. Portosystemic collateral vessels larger than 9 mm in diameter were defined as large collateral vessels. Results: Complete remission + PR was found in 37.5% of the anticoagulation-naïve patients. On univariate analysis, the absence of large collateral vessels, absence of PVT in the main trunk of the portal vein, a high platelet count, and a low FIB-4 index were significant factors associated with CR + PR. On multivariate analysis, the absence of large collateral vessels was the unique factor associated with CR + PR of PVT (odds ratio 5.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.73–20.1). The CR + PR rate for anticoagulated patients was 44.8%. However, no predictors for a good treatment effect of anticoagulation for PVT were identified. Conclusions: Spontaneous improvement of PVT in patients with LC can be expected when large collateral vessels are absent. For these patients, the option of observing them without anticoagulation can be considered in expectation of spontaneous reduction of PVT.

    Objectives: To our knowledge, the relationship between appetite and sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis is unknown. The aims of this study were to examine the factors associated with decreased appetite and to clarify the relationship between appetite and sarcopenia. Methods: This study included 61 patients with cirrhosis. The patients were asked to describe their appetite using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 (none at all) to 10 (most), with ≤5 defined as decreased appetite. The clinical characteristics, gastrointestinal symptoms as assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle area at the third vertebra were collected retrospectively. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the criteria of the Japan Society of Hepatology. The differences in these factors between patients with and without decreased appetite, and the factors associated with the presence of sarcopenia were examined. Results: Alcoholic liver disease was the most common etiology. The median Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score was 8 (interquartile range = 7 - 10) and hepatocellular carcinoma was present in 35 patients. Overall, 36% of the patients with cirrhosis had decreased appetite. Patients with decreased appetite had a higher frequency of abdominal pain and acid reflux–related symptoms and significantly lower handgrip strength than patients without, among both men (P = 0.034) and women (P = 0.017). The multivariate analysis identified a decrease in appetite as a significant factor associated with the presence of sarcopenia (NRS one increase, odds ratio, 0.701; 95% confidence interval, 0.502–0.977; P = 0.036). Conclusion: Decreased appetite was associated with the presence of sarcopenia.

    OBJECTIVE: In patients with liver cirrhosis, the clinical characteristics of dynapenia, a condition in which skeletal muscle mass is maintained but muscle strength is reduced, are not yet known. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of dynapenia and its impact on quality of life (QOL) in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 116 patients with cirrhosis. Based on grip strength and skeletal muscle mass measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis method, patients were divided into four groups: normal muscle status, dynapenia, pre-sarcopenia (a condition involving only low muscle mass), and sarcopenia. The characteristics of dynapenia and its influence on QOL were examined. RESULTS: Fourteen patients had dynapenia. Liver function did not differ among the four groups. In patients with dynapenia, BMI was highest and computed tomography attenuation of skeletal muscle at the third lumbar spine vertebra was lowest among the four groups. The percentage of patients with both BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and myosteatosis was significantly higher in patients with dynapenia [9/14 (64.3%)] than in those with sarcopenia [2/23 (8.7%), P = 0.004] and pre-sarcopenia [0/18 (0%), P < 0.001] and tended to be higher than those with normal muscle status [16/61 (26.2%), P = 0.065]. The physical QOL in patients with dynapenia was as low as that in those with sarcopenia and significantly lower than that in those with normal muscle status. CONCLUSION: Cirrhotic patients with dynapenia had high BMI and myosteatosis, and impaired physical QOL.

    Aim: Novel glass membrane pumping emulsification devices (GMDs) enable the formation of a high-percentage water-in-oil emulsion with homogeneous and stable droplets. Although GMDs are expected to improve therapeutic effects in transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), clinical outcomes are not yet available. Patients and Methods: A total of 26 patients with unresectable HCC who underwent TACE using a GMD were analyzed retrospectively. Ethiodized oil was mixed with epirubicin solution using a GMD. The emulsion was injected into the tumor-feeding artery, followed by embolization. Results: The median size of HCCs was 28 (range=15-60) mm, and 15 nodules were solitary. Overall treatment effects were complete response in 18 cases (90%) and partial response in two (10%). The local recurrence rate at 6 months was 24.2%. No major complication was observed except for grade 4 elevations of liver enzymes in one case. Conclusion: TACE using a GMD is effective and safe in clinical practice.

    Background & aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is caused by the complex factors of inflammation, fibrosis and microbiomes. We used network analysis to examine the interrelationships of these factors. Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were categorized into groups: choline-sufficient high-fat (CSHF, n = 8), choline-deficient high-fat (CDHF, n = 9), and CDHF+ diethylnitrosamine (DEN, n = 8). All mice were fed CSHF or CDHF for 20 weeks starting at week 8, and mice in the CDHF + DEN group received one injection of DEN at 3 weeks of age. Bacterial gene was isolated from feces and analyzed using Miseq. Results: The CSHF group had less fibrosis than the other groups. Tumors were found in 22.2% and 87.5% of the CDHF group and CDHF + DEN groups, respectively. Gene expression in the liver of Cdkn1a (p21: tumor-suppressor) and c-jun was highest in the CDHF group. Bacteroides, Roseburia, Odoribacter, and Clostridium correlated with fibrosis. Streptococcus and Dorea correlated with inflammation and tumors. Akkermansia and Bilophila were inversely correlated with fibrosis and Bifidobacterium was inversely correlated with tumors. Conclusions: DEN suppressed the overexpression of p21 caused by CDHF. Some bacteria formed a relationship networking associated with their progression and inhibition for tumors and fibrosis.

    Background: Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is a widely accepted treatment for esophagogastric varices in patients with portal hypertension (PHT). It is used for urgent treatment and prophylactic treatment of esophagogastric varices in pediatric as well as adult patients. However, major life-threatening adverse events such as early rebleeding can occur. Although early rebleeding after EVL among children and adolescents has been reported, the risk factors remain obscure. This study evaluated the risk factors for early rebleeding after EVL in children and adolescents. Methods: The subjects were children and adolescents (<18 years) with PHT who underwent EVL for esophagogastric varices. Early rebleeding was defined as hematemesis, active bleeding, or blood retention in the stomach, confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy from 2 h to 5 days after EVL. Results: A total of 50 EVL sessions on 22 patients were eligible for this study. There were four episodes of early rebleeding. No other major adverse event has occurred. Multivariate analysis showed that EVL implemented at cardiac varices just below the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), within 5 mm from the EGJ, is the independent factor for a higher risk of early rebleeding: odds ratio 18.2 (95% confidence interval: 1.40–237.0), P = 0.02. Conclusions: Children and adolescents who undergo EVL for cardiac varices just below the EGJ have a higher risk of early rebleeding than those who do not.

    Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) occurrence has been increasing and is becoming a major cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. However, effective treatments for NASH are still lacking. We examined the benefits of serum-free conditioned medium from stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED-CM) on a murine non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model induced by a combination of Western diet (WD) and repeated administration of low doses of carbon tetrachloride intraperitoneally, focusing on the gut-liver axis. We showed that repeated intravenous administration of SHED-CM significantly ameliorated histological liver fibrosis and inflammation in a murine NASH model. SHED-CM inhibited parenchymal cell apoptosis and reduced the activation of inflammatory macrophages. Gene expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators (such as Tnf-α, Tgf-β, and Ccl-2) in the liver was reduced in mice treated with SHED-CM. Furthermore, SHED-CM protected intestinal tight junctions and maintained intestinal barrier function, while suppressing gene expression of the receptor for endotoxin, Toll-like receptor 4, in the liver. SHED-CM promoted the recovery of Caco-2 monolayer dysfunction induced by IFN-γ and TNF-α in vitro. Our findings suggest that SHED-CM may inhibit NASH fibrosis via the gut-liver axis, in addition to its protective effect on hepatocytes and the induction of macrophages with unique anti-inflammatory phenotypes.

    A 10-month-old boy with biliary atresia who had undergone the Kasai procedure, was admitted to our hospital due to tarry stool. We performed emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy and found severe esophagogastric varices. There was a spurting bleeding site at the lower esophagus. We implemented endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) for esophagogastric variceal bleeding, since it was impossible to insert the scope through the esophagus with an endoscopic variceal ligation device attached. After performing four sessions of EIS, the patient developed esophageal ulcers and stricture related to EIS, leading to poor oral intake and body weight loss. We were able to manage these adverse events with conservative treatment. After healing of the esophageal ulcers and stricture, two additional sessions of EIS were performed. The patient's esophagogastric varices disappeared completely. Intra-variceal EIS followed by para-variceal EIS by polidocanol was reported to be effective and relatively safe for the treatment of esophageal varices in adult patients. The aim of paravariceal EIS is to form ulcers at the injection sites, resulting in the development of fibrosis of the mucosa during the healing process. This mucosal fibrosis is considered important for preventing recurrence of varices. There is little evidence for the safety and efficacy of intra-variceal EIS followed by para-variceal EIS in pediatric patients. Although we should be cautious of EIS-related stricture due to esophageal ulcer, especially in children who have a narrower esophageal lumen than adults, we have experienced a successful case of EIS for esophageal varices in an infant with biliary atresia.

    Aim: Esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage is a cause of poor prognosis in patients with biliary atresia (BA). To prevent variceal hemorrhage, simple and reliable screening methods for high-risk esophagogastric varices (HR-EGV) are needed. We evaluated the efficacy of liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) as measured by 2-D shear wave elastography (2D-SWE), which was reported to be more accurate than transient elastography, for detecting HR-EGV in children with BA. Methods: Thirty-four children with BA were enrolled. Both LS and SS were measured by 2D-SWE. The presence of large esophageal varices or esophageal varices of any size with red wale marking and/or the presence of gastric varices along the cardia were defined as HR-EGV. Clinical data were collected and previously reported prediction indices for varices were calculated. Results: Liver stiffness and SS were obtained from all patients. Fourteen patients showed HR-EGV. Significantly different variables between patients with and without HR-EGV were as follows: spleen diameter (116 mm vs. 95 mm), clinical prediction rule (104.7 vs. 124.7), King's variceal prediction score (78.8 vs. 99.4), aspartic aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (2.03 vs. 0.98), LS (2.63 m/s vs. 1.87 m/s), and SS (4.44 m/s vs. 3.69 m/s). The highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting HR-EGV was that for SS (0.900), and the cut-off SS of 4.12 m/s yielded 92.9% sensitivity and 90% specificity. The intraclass correlation coefficient for intra-observer reproducibility was 0.828. Conclusions: Spleen stiffness from 2D-SWE offered the most accurate predictor of HR-EGV in BA children.

    Background: Postmenopausal women have a higher risk of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) along with an increase in age, and vitamin D deficiency occurs in some patients with NASH. Aim: We performed ovariectomy (OVX) surgery on female mice to mimic menopause, fed them a choline-deficient high-fat (CDHF) diet to induce NASH, and then investigated the effects of treatment with 1,25(OH)2D3. Methods: Seven-week-old C57BL/6J female mice were separated into five experimental groups: SHAM, OVX, and OVX + intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of 1,25(OH)2D3 (0.0008, 0.004, and 0.02 μg/kg). All groups were fed a CDHF diet for 8 weeks. Injections took place twice per week throughout the experimental period. Blood samples and liver tissue were collected for analyzing liver histological changes, serum biochemical indicators of hepatic function, and hepatic genes associated with fibrosis. Results: Supplementation of 1,25(OH)2D3 in CDHF-diet mice showed decreased serum levels of ALT, AST, indicating the improvement in overall liver function, and suppressed histological NASH regarding fibrosis stage, lobular inflammation, and steatosis compared to the OVX group. Primary fibrotic markers of TGF-β, TIMP-1, α-SMA, and COL1A1 were significantly lower in the 1,25(OH)2D3 groups than in the OVX group. Furthermore, down-regulated levels of SMAD2 and SMAD3 were also observed in 1,25(OH)2D3 groups. Conclusion: Supplementation of 1,25(OH)2D3 may ameliorate liver fibrosis and improve liver function in OVX mice with NASH induced by a CDHF diet, suggesting the therapeutic effects on postmenopause with NASH.
