Objective To investigate the diagnosis of patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (CN-II). Methods Three patients with sustained unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia were admitted to our Department of Infectious Diseases,First Affiliated Hospital,Nanjing Medical University. The blood genome DNA was extracted,and five exons and their flanking sequences of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 gene(UGT1Al) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and the products were directly sequenced. Results Substitution of thymine for guanine at loci 1456 in the 5th exon existed leading to the change of amino acid from tyrosine to aspartate at 486th position of the corresponding protein(c.1456T>G:p.Y486D). So the three patients were confirmed with CN-Ⅱ. Conclusions A given patient with sustained unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia should be applied early to the gene analysis for the diagnosis of Crigler-Najjar syndrome.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate serum lipid profiling of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods A ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) platform was applied for serum lipid profiling in 17 patients with CHB and 23 healthy volunteers. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) model and univariate analysis were established to analyze the characteristic metabolites and the association with histological severities. Results There were significant lipids changes in the CHB patients [OPLS-DA:R2=0.775,Q2=0.518,P(CV-ANOVA)=2.81×10-4], and 64 lipids with significant differences(VIP>1,P<0.05) between the two groups were found;These lipids belonged to categories of free fatty acid (FFA),triglyceride(TAG),diglyceride(DAG),cholesterol ester (CE), ceramide(Cer),sphingomyelin(SM),phosphatidylcholine(PC),phosphatidylinositol(PI),lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC),ethanolamine plasmalogen(PlsEtn);There were lower levels of CE,DAG,Cer,LPC,PlsEtn in CHB (decreased by 18%,17%,10%,32% and 29%,P<0.05);TAG with higher carbon numbers and double bonds significantly decreased(P<0.05);PC with lower double bonds significantly increased and PC with higher double bonds decreased (P<0.05);The free monounsaturated fatty acids increased in CHB (increased by 36%,P<0.05) and were positively correlated with the METAVIR inflammation and fibrosis scores (Spearman correlation r=0.527,P<0.05 in activity,r=0.540,P<0.05 in fibrosis). Conclusion The patients with CHB have numerous changes in lipid metabolism,and the lipidomic profiling may provide possible non-invasive method for the evaluation of hepatic injuries in patients with CHB.

Objective To compare the efficacy of serological diagnosis model (APRI,FIB-4,Forns index) and Transient elastography (FibroScan) in evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with mild hepatic steatosis. Methods Three hundred and nine patients with CHB proven by liver biopsy were recruited in this study. Out of them,194 had no,and 115 had hepatic steatosis. All patients with CHB were checked-up by FibroScan to get the liver stiffness measurement (LSM),and we collected the laboratory indexes to calculate the APRI,FIB-4 and Forns index. We evaluated the efficacies of the four Methods in diagnosis of liver fibrosis based on liver biopsy as the gold standard. Results The differences of LSM,APRI,FIB-4,Forns index in patients with and without liver steatosis were not statistically significant(all P>0.05);The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of LSM,APRI,FIB-4 and Forns index for the diagnosis of obvious liver fibrosis (≥F2) in CHB patients without hepatic steatosis were 0.77,0.69,0.72 and 0.69 (all P<0.05),and its corresponding cut-off-values were 10.2,0.5,0.9 and 5.3;the AUROC for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis(≥F4) were 0.86,0.72,0.77 and 0.77(all P<0.05),and its corresponding cut-off-value were 11.8,0.6,1.3 and 5.1;The AUROC of LSM,APRI,FIB-4 and Forns index for the diagnosis of obvious liver fibrosis (≥F2) in CHB patients with mild hepatic steatosis were 0.79,0.67,0.74 and 0.77 (all P<0.05) and its corresponding cut-off-valures were 9.7,0.4,1.1 and 5.4;the AUROC for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis(≥F4) were 0.88,0.71, 0.75 and 0.78(all P<0.05),and its corresponding cut-off-values were 11.8,1.1,1.5 and 5.4;The APRI and FIB-4 didn’t find light hepatic fibrosis in the two groups(P>0.05;The efficacy of LSM for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis was superior to APRI. Conclusions The APRI assessment for the liver fibrosis in patients with CHB with mild liver steatosis is poor,while the LSM,FIB-4 and Forns index are good. The mild hepatic steatosis might affect the diagnosis of Forns index in CHB patients with liver fibrosis.

Objective The precious studies have proved that the monotherapy of telbivudine(LDT) or adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) can influence the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR). The aims of this study is to assess the effects of combination therapy based on ADV on renal function in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods The clinical data of 164 patients with CHB in the Department of Infectious Disease,Second Affiliated Hospital,Dalian Medical University between February 2007 and October 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The study included treatment of entecavir (ETV) combined with ADV(n=42),lamivudine (LAM)combined with ADV(n=68),and telbivudine(LDT) combined with ADV(n=54). We compared the changes of serum creatinine(sCr),eGFR and we analyzed the risk factors affecting eGFR changes in the patients by Logistic analysis. Results At the end of 104 week treatment, serum sCr level in the group of ETV combined with ADV increased as compared to that at baseline(73 μmol/L versus 67 μmol/L,P=0.012),it alse increased in LAM combined with ADV group(79 μmol/L versus 68 μmol/L,P=0.008),while it decreased in the group of LDT combined with ADV(64 μmol/L versus 69 μmol/L,P=0.023);The eGFR in the group of ETV combined with ADV decreased (96.1 ml·min-1·1.73 m2 versus 107.8 ml·min-1·1.73 m2,P=0.004),it alse decreased in LAM combined with ADV group (87.3 ml·min-1·1.73 m2 versus 105.4 ml·min-1·1.73 m2,P=0.000),however, the eGFR in the group of LDT combined with ADV increased (104.1ml·min-1·1.73 m2 versus 116.2 ml·min-1·1.73 m2,P=0.005);the proportion of patients with normal renal function in the group of LDT combined with ADV was higher than that in the group of LAM or ETV combined with ADV(P=0.002,P=0.001);Logistic analysis showed that age,gender,the baseline eGFR,ETV combined with ADV and LAM combined with ADV were the independent risk factors for predicting eGFR decrease. Conclusion The treatment of LDT combined with ADV might improve the eGFR and protect the renal function. LDT may be a rescue therapy for patients with renal indeficiency.

Objective To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF-1R),nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) and the mechanism of multi-drug resistance(MDR) in insulin resistance(IR)- hepatoma cells in vitro. Methods The human hepatoma cells(HepG2 and HepG2.2.15) were induced by high concentration of insulin to establish a insulin resistance model. The expression of insulin receptor (InsR),IGF-1R,NF kappa B,P glycoprotein(P-gp) were detected by Western bloting and the effect of adriamycin on cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry(annexin V-FITC). Results IR model of hepatoma cells were established successfully by subjecting the HepG2 and HepG2.2.15 cells to 100 nmol/L and 1 000 n mol/L insulin respectively for 48 hours. The expression of IGF-1R,NF-kappa B and P-gp were up-regulated in IR hepatoma cells,while the InsR expression was down-regulated;After treatment of the two cells with 25 μg/ml doxorubicin for 24 hours,the apoptosis rate of IR-HpeG 2 cells (31.1% ±1.9%) was significantly lower than HepG2 cells [(49.7±2.2)%,P<0.01],and the apoptosis rate of IR-HepG2.2.15 cells(20.1±1.7)% was significantly lower than HepG2.2.15 cells[(33.8±1.8)%,P<0.01];The apoptotic rates of HepG2.2.15 or IR-HepG2.2.15 cells were significantly lower than HepG2 or IR-HepG2 cells(P<0.01),respectively. Conclusion The expression of IGF-1R, NF-kappa B and P-gp are up-regulated in IR-hepatoma cells,which might induce the MDR to adriamycin.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic tumor resection in treatment of patients with hemangioma of liver at I and ⅣaⅦ and Ⅷ section. Methods 74 patients with hemangioma of liver at I and Ⅳa,Ⅶ and Ⅷ section were admitted to our hospital between January 2012 and January 2013. They were randomly divided into two groups,and 37 patients were treated with routine open surgery (ROS),while another 37 patients were treated by laparoscopic tumor resection(LTR). Postoperative pain scores,clinical indicators and postoperative complications in the two groups were observed. Results The recovery of gastrointestinal function,feeding,hospitalization and indwelling catheter in patients receiving LTR were (2.6±0.8) d,(2.9±0.8) d,(13.2±1.3) d,(2.9±0.9) d,much shorter than in patients receiving ROS【(4.28±1.12) d,(4.81±0.75) d,(17.4±2.48) d,(4.5±1.51) d,respectively,P<0.05】;the blood loss during operation in LTR were(110.2±32.4) ml,much lower than in ROS 【(155.6±40.3) ml,P<0.05】;the medical cost in LTR were(8437.0±206.7) yuan,much higher than in ROS【(6399±110.4) yuan,P<0.05】;the postoperative complication rate in LTR was 2.7%,much higher than 16.2% in ROS (x2=5.045,P=0.028);the recurrence rate of tumor in LTR at the end of 36-month followed-up was 8.1%,which was not significantly different with 2.7% in ROS(x2=1.057,P=0.307);postoperative pain scores in the two groups reached peak after 12 h,and the postoperative pain score in LTR was significantly lower than that in ROS(P<0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery in treatment of patients with hemangioma of liver at special sections has some virtues such as less trauma,less bleeding,fast recovery and less costs.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) often leads to chronic hepatitis B. Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), an important recognition molecules,play a pivotal role in recognizing pathogen and inducing antiviral immune response since the early stage of virus infection. In this review,we expounded the definition,types,and signal paths of PRRs,which were divided into Toll-like receptors and Toll-independent pattern recognition receptors,and we finally summarized the roles of PRRs in the process of HBV infection.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is thought to be mainly caused by over-eating and sedentary lifestyle, while it can hardly explain the incidence of non-obese NAFLD. Recently,other possible causes and mechanisms has become a new research spot. It’s very hard for a patient with NAFLD to stick to a well-designed living regimen,so giving an overall and more effective treatment has now become another hotspot. This article reviewed the psychological stress,emotions,such as depression and anxiety,imbalance of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA) axis,glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, and immuno-inflammatory responses in the development of NAFLD.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is hepatotropic and pantropic,which also shows a lot of extrahepatic manifestation except liver damage. In recent years,studies show a close relationship between cardiovascular diseases and chronic hepatitis C. HCV infection can cause atherosclerosis,myocardial disease,myocarditis,pulmonary high-pressure and so on,making it a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases.

Caudate hepatocellular carcinoma is a special type of malignant tumor located in the caudate lobe of the liver. Surgical resection is difficult to perform because of specific anatomic structure with complex vascular and biliary duct adjacent to the tumor. At present,surgical treatment,interventional therapy,local ablation and radiologic treatment are often selected,but all treatment is less effective. In this paper,we discussed the concept and method of minimally invasive treatment dealing with patients with caudate hepatocellular carcinoma.

Radiation-induced liver injury(RILI) is one of the main complications in the radiotherapy of patients with primary liver cancer and abdominal tumors,which limits the radiation doses for the tumor regions and may affects the outcomes of patients at some extent. It is reported that multiple cytokines are closely associated with the pathogenesis of RILI,and cytokines are involved in different stages of RILI by triggering a variety of downstream signaling pathways. In this paper,we try to introduce the latest research of cytokines and their signal transduction pathways related to RILI.
