Article Abstract

Alcohol use and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are inextricably and bidirectionally linked. Alcohol intoxication is one of the strongest predictors of TBI, and a substantial proportion of TBIs occur in intoxicated individuals. An inverse relationship is also emerging, such that TBI can serve as a risk factor for, or modulate the course of, alcohol use disorder (AUD). Critically, alcohol use after TBI is a key predictor of rehabilitation outcomes, prognosis, and additional head injuries. This review provides a general overview of the bidirectional relationship between TBI and AUD and a discussion of potential neuropsychological and neurobiological mechanisms that might underlie the relationship.

RAB25/GCN1 Signaling Promotes ER Stress to Mediate Alcohol-associated Liver Disease Progression.

Background/aims: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in hepatocytes plays a causative role in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The incomplete inhibition of ER stress by targeting canonical ER stress sensor proteins suggests the existence of noncanonical ER stress pathways in ALD pathology. This study aimed to delineate the role of RAB25 in ALD and its regulatory mechanism in noncanonical ER stress pathways.

Introduction: The Australian Guide to the Diagnosis of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), developed in 2016, is currently under review. This study aimed to understand how the Guide is used in practice and identify factors influencing its implementation.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with Australian health practitioners involved in the assessment and diagnosis of FASD.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor abundantly expressed in the fatty liver of type 2 diabetic ob/ob mice. Herein, we investigated how PPARγ regulates the expression of the interferon alpha-inducible protein 27-like 2b (lfi27l2b) gene in the mouse liver. High expression of lfi27l2b was observed in the fatty liver of ob/ob mice, and the expression was further upregulated by PPARγ ligands; however, liver-specific Pparg knockout ameliorated this increase.

Background: Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) during gestation. Conservative estimates of FASD prevalence in United States children are 1%-5%. Early identification could facilitate early intervention, yet fewer than 1% of children with FASD receive a diagnosis.
