Article Abstract
This study aims to determine the serum expression level of miRNA-122 and its significance in the different stages of Hepatitis B virus infection. The study subjects were recruited and grouped for Hepatitis B associated with Chronic Hepatitis B infection, hepatic sclerosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and healthy controls were also considered. Venous blood was collected from the participants including the controls and routine blood tests and quantification of miRNA-122 were done and analyzed in each case of hepatitis B infection and compared with that of healthy controls. The miRNA-122 was determined, which came to be highest in patients with Chronic Hepatitis B while patients with hepatic sclerosis and patients with hepatocellular carcinoma showed a subsequent number of copies. The number of copies of miRNA-122 in the CHB, hepatic sclerosis, and HCC group was significantly higher than in the healthy control. The quantification of miRNA-122 and subsequently plotting the ROC curve has shown that miRNA-122 can be considered as a biomarker of hepatitis B for screening and diagnosis purposes.

Purpose Of Review: To synthesize current knowledge on the genetic, immunopathogenic, and clinical presentations of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) with a focus on their co-occurrence as a clinically relevant overlap syndrome. This narrative review summarizes preclinical and clinical studies addressing SSc-PBC overlap.
Recent Findings: Genomic studies highlight shared susceptibility loci between SSc and PBC.

Peliosis hepatis is a rare condition characterized by dilation of the hepatic sinusoids and the presence of multiple blood-filled cystic spaces within the liver parenchyma. It has been associated with a variety of etiologies, including infectious diseases, immunological disorders, malignancy, and certain medications. We report a case of a 24-year-old male who presented with polyarthritis lasting two months.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been observed in neonatal mice following the integration of recombinant Adeno-Associated Viruses (rAAV) into the Rian locus. rAAV-related oncogenic risk for patients remains unclear, and the lack of relevant in vitro methods hinders its proper assessment. The soft agar colony-forming (SACF) assay and the growth in low attachment assay (GILA) monitor anchorage-independent growth, a hallmark of transformed adherent cells, and have been previously proposed to assess the tumorigenicity of CRISPR/Cas9-edited human MCF10A cells.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system, characterized by relapses or progressive neurological decline. Over recent decades, high-efficacy immunosuppressive therapies have dramatically reduced relapse rates and curtailed new MRI lesion activity in MS, but also raise safety concerns regarding infections, malignancy, and other serious adverse events.
Areas Covered: This review discusses immunosuppressants in MS, from older cytotoxic agents (azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone) to newer therapies (cladribine, alemtuzumab, and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies).

Unlabelled: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a specific type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained easily from adipose tissue (AT). Compared with MSCs, ADSCs are easier to obtain, have fewer ethical issues, and have a higher proliferative capacity, which makes them a promising type of stem cell in regenerative medicine. ADSCs possess impressive capabilities in cell regeneration as well as differentiation, making them promising candidates for injury repair, tissue regeneration and alleviation of inflamed tissues.
