Changes in MRE in HCV patients who achieve SVR
Abstract Almost all patients achieved sustained virological response (SVR) by direct-acting antivirals (DAA) therapy, but it is not clear as to what extent DAA therapy affects changes in liver fibrosis after achieving SVR. In this study, we investigated the changes of liver stiffness by magnetic resonance elastogaraphy (MRE) during DAA therapy. A total of 308 patients were enrolled in the study. ...

MRE plus FIB-4 (MEFIB) versus FAST in detection of candidates for pharmacological treatment of NASH-
Abstract Background and aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients with significant hepatic fibrosis (stage ≥ 2) are at increased risk of liver-related morbidity and are candidates for pharmacologic therapies. In this study, we compared the diagnostic accuracy of MEFIB (the combination of magnetic resonance elastography [MRE] and FIB-4) and FAST (FibroScan-AST; combined liver ...

Distinct signatures of gut microbiome and metabolites associated with significant fibrosis in non-obese NAFLD
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity but also found in non-obese individuals. Gut microbiome profiles of 171 Asians with biopsy-proven NAFLD and 31 non-NAFLD controls are analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing; an independent Western cohort is used for external validation. Subjects are classified into three subgroups according to histological spectra of NAFLD or ...
