Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is defined as the presence of hepatic fat accumulation after the exclusion of other causes of hepatic steatosis, including other causes of liver disease, excessive alcohol consumption, and other conditions that may lead to hepatic steatosis. NAFLD encompasses a broad clinical spectrum ranging from nonalcoholic fatty liver to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH), advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, and finally hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). NAFLD is the most common liver disease in the world and NASH may soon become the most common indication for liver transplantation. Ongoing persistence of obesity with increasing rate of diabetes will increase the prevalence of NAFLD, and as this population ages, many will develop cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. There has been a general increase in the prevalence of NAFLD, with Asia leading the rise, yet the United States is following closely behind with a rising prevalence from 15% in 2005 to 25% within 5 years. NAFLD is commonly associated with metabolic comorbidities, including obesity, type Ⅱ diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. Our understanding of the pathophysiology of NAFLD is constantly evolving. Based on NAFLD subtypes, it has the potential to progress into advanced fibrosis, end-stage liver disease and HCC. The increasing prevalence of NAFLD with advanced fibrosis, is concerning because patients appear toexperience higher liver-related and non-liver-related mortality than the general population. The increased morbidity and mortality, healthcare costs and declining health related quality of life associated with NAFLD makes it a formidable disease, and one that requires more in-depth analysis.

Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition 2019年第2期8卷 181-183页

In the United States(US),the shift in the treatment paradigm following the introduction of second generation direct-acting antiviral(DAA)agents for hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection has favorably transformed the landscape of end-stage liver disease(ESLD)with a rapid decline in HCV-related liver transplantation;HCV had been the leading indication for liver transplantation for the last two decades(1).While the rate of liver transplantation in patients with HCV infection has plummeted in the US following the widespread application of DAA-based regimens in the pre-transplant setting,the rise in alcohol use disorder and obesity has catapulted alcoholic liver disease(ALD)to become the leading indication for liver transplantation in the US in 2016 followed closely by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),a progressive subset of nonalcoholic liver disease(NAFLD)(1).Despite the decline in HCV-related liver transplantation in the US,the total number of liver transplants per year are on an upward trajectory as a result of marked increase in ESLD associated with ALD and NASH—an ominous trend.

To the Editor:We have read with great interest the comment of Chen et al"What can we learn from cases of internal mammary artery damage in coronary artery bypass graft ", The advice that the authors propose in relation to the internal mammary artery (IMA) harvesting is very useful because they are based on a 20-year experience in more than 10,000 patients.

MDA was assessed in 81 participants(41 GWI-cases, 40 controls). General and Gulf-specific exposures were elicited. MDA case–control comparison was restricted to 40 matched pairs. The potential association between MDA and exposures was assessed using regression analyses. Gulf-specific exposures were incorporated into a case-specific ***: Plasma MDA was significantly lower in GWI-cases than controls. Composite pesticide and fuel-solvent exposures negatively predicted MDA in the total sample, as well as in the analyses that included either GWI-cases or controls only. Self-reported exposure to organophosphate(OP) nerve gas was a strong predictor for lower MDA level in veterans with ***: Past pesticide exposures predicted lower MDA in both veterans with GWI and in healthy controls.

Since the advent of direct acting antiviral(DAA) agents, chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV) treatment has evolved at a rapid pace. In contrast to prior regimen involving ribavirin and pegylated interferon, these newer agents are highly effective, well-tolerated, have shorter course of therapy and safer essentially in all HCV patients including those with advanced liver disease and following liver transplantation. Clinicians caring for HCV-infected patients on the liver transplant(LT) waitlist are often faced with a dilemma whether to treat HCV infection before or after liver transplantation. Sustained virological response(SVR) rates following HCV treatment may improve hepatic function sufficiently enough to negate the need for LT in certain patients. On the other hand, the decrease in MELD without improvement in quality of life in certain patients may lead to delay or dropout from potentially curative LT surgery list. In this context, our review focuses on the approach to and optimal timing of DAA-based treatment of HCV infection in LT candidates in the peri-transplant period.

Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.1 In the United States, 135,430 new cases of CRC were diagnosed in 2017, with 50,260 CRC-related deaths.2 In the Asia-Pacific region, the incidence varies between regions, with an increasing trend among countries that have undergone rapid development and industrialization. In China, for example, age-standardized incidence of CRC increased from 12.8 in 2003 to 16.8 in 2011 per 100,000 in-dividuals.3 Timely screening for CRC is critical to reducing CRC-related mortality by detecting the tumor at the early, curable stage.
