Article Abstract
Our previous transcriptome analysis revealed that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in hepatocytes regulates the expression of numerous hepatocellular genes in a liver disease stage-specific manner. Based on the fold changes at different stages and the known relevant function of the cellular genes with respect to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and through comprehensive examination with various in silico assays, such as heatmap and volcano analysis for the differential expression, the Cancer Genome Atlas - Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA-HCC) analysis, and molecular approaches, such as qRT-PCR, immunoblot analyses, we have chosen the two up-regulated genes - aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) and hexokinase domain containing 1 (HKDC1), and two down-regulated genes - glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) and C-type lectin domain family 4, member M (CLEC4M), and validated their differential expressions of the genes at disparate stages of liver disease with respect to the development of potential therapeutic targets against HCV-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These data suggested that the differentially expressed genes at various stages could serve as prognostic and diagnostic markers for liver disease progression and may also be utilized in developing therapeutic drugs.

Prevalence and risk factors of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol
September 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, The University of Jordan, Jordan University Hospital.
Aim: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its associated risk factors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent treatment for IBD at Jordan University Hospital between January 2013 and 2022. Case finding methods and clinical chart reviews were used to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with IBD.
Bevacizumab for refractory gastrointestinal angiodysplasia: a case report and literature review.

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep, Alkmaar.
Currently, symptomatic gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia is treated with argon plasma coagulation (APC) via endoscopic procedures, supplemented with octreotide or thalidomide treatment. However, suboptimal response and side effects are often seen. Bevacizumab, an angiogenesis inhibitor, may provide an alternative systemic therapy for patients with refractory GI angiodysplasia.

Aims: We investigated the independent association between dietary vitamin E intake among individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a representative sample of the USA.
Methods: We used the 2007-2014 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with mortality follow-up through 2019 (median: 8.6 years).
Predicting Unplanned Readmission Risk in Patients With Cirrhosis: Complication-Aware Dynamic Classifier Selection Approach.

Background: Cirrhosis is a leading cause of noncancer deaths in gastrointestinal diseases, resulting in high hospitalization and readmission rates. Early identification of high-risk patients is vital for proactive interventions and improving health care outcomes. However, the quality and integrity of real-world electronic health records (EHRs) limit their utility in developing risk assessment tools.

Objective: To verify the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).
Methods: the sample included controlled and randomized experimental studies of individuals with LC, at any stage of the disease, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, who performed any type of physical exercise compared to any other intervention or no intervention, with quality of life as the outcome assessed by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). The search for articles was conducted in 11 databases.
