Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the anti-liver cancer effects and aspartic acid (Asp)-related action mechanism of Euphorbia fischeriana Steud. (Lang Du, LD).
Methods: The mice model of liver cancer was established by injection of H22 cells. After 5 days, mice were randomly divided into model group, sorafenib group (20 mg/kg), LD high-dose (LDH, 1.36 g/kg) group, LD medium-dose (LDM, 0.68 g/kg) group, and LD low-dose (LDL, 0.34 g/kg) group, 10 mice each group. Drugs were intragastrically administered to the mice once daily for 10 days, respectively. Body weight, tumor size and tumor weight were recorded. Hepatic index was calculated. Pathological changes of liver cancer tissues were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining and TUNEL staining. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer was used to analyze different metabolites between the model and LDH groups.
Results: After LD treatment, tumor weight, tumor size and hepatic index were reduced compared with the model group. Necrocytosis and karyorrhexis of tumor cells were found. Moreover, 61 differential metabolites (18 up-regulated, 43 down-regulated) were affirmed and 20 pathways of KEGG (P<0.05) were gotten. In addition, Bel-7402, HepG2 and H22 cell viabilities were significantly increased after adding Asp into the medium. And then, the cell proliferation effect induced by Asp was ameliorated by LD.
Conclusion: The anti-liver cancer efficacy of LD extract was validated in H22 mice model, and inhibition of Asp level might be the underlying mechanism.

Impact of Alcohol Consumption on Selected Cancer Incidence Trends Among Adults in the United States, 2008-2019.

Background: Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for certain cancers and is increasing in the United States. We estimated the impact of alcohol consumption on cancer incidence trends in the United States from 2008-2019 across six alcohol-related cancers among men and women.
Methods: Average daily alcohol consumption (ADC) was calculated from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS, 1998-2009) and adjusted to per capita sales data to account for underreporting alcohol use.

Acute or chronic liver damage can result in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a potentially fatal neuropsychiatric condition that leads to cerebral and neurological alterations. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), an orally active Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with long duration of action. The study aim was to evaluate the potential protective impact of DAPA against HE caused by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats.

Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.
Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.
Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.

Background: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing demographic shifts potentially increasing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its complications. We assessed MASLD prevalence and liver disease burden from 2010 to 2021.
Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD), United Nations Population Division and NCD Risk Factor Collaboration covering 21 MENA countries were used for annual percent change (APC) trends per Joinpoint regression.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis. In this multicenter study, our goal is to identify functional biomarkers that stratify the risk of HCC in patients with cirrhosis (CP) for early diagnosis.
Methods: Five thousand and eight serum proteins (Somascan) were analysed in Cohort A (477 CP, including 125 HCC).
