Abstract
Breast cancer (BrC) is a highly prevalent tumour among women. The high incidence and mortality rate of BrC prompts researchers to search for new markers that will provide information on the possible impact of the therapy on the risk of cancer-related events. This study aimed to investigate whether the level of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) may have a potential impact on disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in BrC patients with early-stage cancer. Additionally, we tried to assess the relationship between AOPPs and angiogenic parameters. In this study, the pre- and post-treatment AOPP levels were examined in the serum of 70 newly diagnosed BrC women. The receiver operating characteristic curve identified pre- and post-treatment AOPPs to be above 9.37 μM and 10.39 μM, respectively, as the best cut-off values to predict the risk of cancer relapse. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that pre- and post-treatment AOPPs above 9.37 μM and 10.39 μM were associated with significantly poorer OS. The uni- and multivariate Cox regression analysis highlighted that lower levels of pre- and post-treatment AOPPs were associated with a longer duration without relapse or cancer-related death. A positive correlation between concentrations of pre-treatment AOPPs and vascular endothelial growth factor A, and negative correlations with levels of soluble forms of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor type 1 and 2, were found. In conclusion, AOPPs appear to have an important role in predicting cancer-related events and may potentially serve as a simple prognostic marker in clinical practice.

Thrombospondin 1 enhances systemic inflammation and disease severity in acute-on-chronic liver failure. BMC Med 2024; 22:95. [PMID: 38439091 PMCID: PMC10913480 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-024-03318-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The key role of thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) in the pathogenesis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is unclear. Here, we present a transcriptome approach to evaluate THBS1 as a potential biomarker in ACLF disease pathogenesis. METHODS Biobanked peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 330 subjects with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related etiologies, including HBV-ACLF, liver cirrhosis (LC), and chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and normal controls (NC) randomly selected from the Chinese Group on the Study of Severe Hepatitis B (COSSH) prospective multicenter cohort underwent transcriptome analyses (ACLF = 20; LC = 10; CHB = 10; NC = 15); the findings were externally validated in participants from COSSH cohort, an ACLF rat model and hepatocyte-specific THBS1 knockout mice. RESULTS THBS1 was the top significantly differentially expressed gene in the PBMC transcriptome, with the most significant upregulation in ACLF, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (ACLF = 110; LC = 60; CHB = 60; NC = 45) was used to verify that THBS1 expression corresponded to ACLF disease severity outcome, including inflammation and hepatocellular apoptosis. THBS1 showed good predictive ability for ACLF short-term mortality, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.8438 and 0.7778 at 28 and 90 days, respectively. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay validation of the plasma THBS1 using an expanded COSSH cohort subjects (ACLF = 198; LC = 50; CHB = 50; NC = 50) showed significant correlation between THBS1 with ALT and γ-GT (P = 0.01), and offered a similarly good prognostication predictive ability (AUROC = 0.7445 and 0.7175) at 28 and 90 days, respectively. ACLF patients with high-risk short-term mortality were identified based on plasma THBS1 optimal cut-off value (< 28 µg/ml). External validation in ACLF rat serum and livers confirmed the functional association between THBS1, the immune response and hepatocellular apoptosis. Hepatocyte-specific THBS1 knockout improved mouse survival, significantly repressed major inflammatory cytokines, enhanced the expression of several anti-inflammatory mediators and impeded hepatocellular apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS THBS1 might be an ACLF disease development-related biomarker, promoting inflammatory responses and hepatocellular apoptosis, that could provide clinicians with a new molecular target for improving diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Determination of HMGB1 in hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients with acute kidney injury: Early prediction and prognostic implications. Front Pharmacol 2023; 13:1031790. [PMID: 36712653 PMCID: PMC9880762 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1031790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) and is associated with high rates of mortality. We aimed to estimate serum high mobility group protein 1 (HMGB1) levels in hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients and analyze their clinical value in the development and outcomes of Acute kidney injury. Methods: A total of 251 consecutive patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure were enrolled in this retrospective study. Using the International Club of Ascites staging criteria of Acute kidney injury, 153 patients developed Acute kidney injury. The clinical data of patients were collected and serum levels of high mobility group protein 1 were measured by ELISA. All patients were followed up until death or for a minimum of 3 months. Early prediction and prognostic implications of high mobility group protein 1 in Hepatitis B Virus-Related Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Patients with Acute Kidney Injury were investigated in different cohorts, including a propensity score-matched ACLF cohort. Results: Among all individuals with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure, the incidence of Acute kidney injury was 61.0% (153/251). The patients who developed stage 2/3 Acute kidney injury showed the highest high mobility group protein 1 levels, followed by those who developed stage 1 Acute kidney injury, and those without Acute kidney injury showed the lowest high mobility group protein 1 levels. Moreover, high mobility group protein 1 levels were significantly higher in non-survivors than in survivors among hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients with Acute kidney injury. Furthermore, analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) indicated that serum high mobility group protein 1 levels (pre-matching: AUC = 0.740; post-matching: AUC = 0.661) may be a potential predictive factor for Acute kidney injury development and that high mobility group protein 1 (AUC = 0.727) might be a reliable biomarker for prognosis in patients with Acute kidney injury. Conclusion: In patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure, Acute kidney injury is universal. Acute kidney injury and its stages negatively influence the 90-day transplant-free mortality rate. Serum high mobility group protein 1 levels can serve as a positive predictor of Acute kidney injury development, and high mobility group protein 1 might also be a prognostic biomarker for Acute kidney injury among hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure patients.

Abstract
Dengue is a viral infection caused by dengue virus (DENV), which has a significant impact on public health worldwide. Although most infections are asymptomatic, a series of severe clinical manifestations such as hemorrhage and plasma leakage can occur during the severe presentation of the disease. This suggests that the virus or host immune response may affect the protective function of endothelial barriers, ultimately being considered the most relevant event in severe and fatal dengue pathogenesis. The mechanisms that induce these alterations are diverse. It has been suggested that the high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) may be involved in endothelial dysfunction. This non-histone nuclear protein has different immunomodulatory activities and belongs to the alarmin group. High concentrations of HMGB1 have been detected in patients with several infectious diseases, including dengue, and it could be considered as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of dengue and a predictor of complications of the disease. This review summarizes the main features of dengue infection and describes the known causes associated with endothelial dysfunction, highlighting the involvement and possible relationship between HMGB1 and DENV.

Abstract
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a group of clinical syndromes related to severe acute liver function impairment and multiple-organ failure caused by various acute triggering factors on the basis of chronic liver disease. Due to its severe condition, rapid progression, and high mortality, it has received increasing attention. Recent studies have shown that the pathogenesis of ACLF mainly includes direct injury and immune injury. In immune injury, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), dendritic cells (DCs), and CD4+ T cells accumulate in the liver tissue, secrete a variety of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and recruit more immune cells to the liver, resulting in immune damage to the liver tissue, massive hepatocyte necrosis, and liver failure, but the key molecules and signaling pathways remain unclear. The “danger hypothesis” holds that in addition to the need for antigens, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) also play a very important role in the occurrence of the immune response, and this hypothesis is related to the pathogenesis of ACLF. Here, the research status and development trend of ACLF, as well as the mechanism of action and research progress on various DAMPs in ACLF, are summarized to identify biomarkers that can predict the occurrence and development of diseases or the prognosis of patients at an early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is a paucity of data on the management and outcomes of chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) patients [including chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and chronic hepatitis C (CHC)] presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS We utilized the National Inpatient Sample database (2001-2019) and studied the management and outcomes of CVH patients with AMI and stratified them by subtypes of CVH. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of adverse outcomes in CVH groups were compared to no-CVH groups using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Of 18,794,686 AMI admissions, 84,147 (0.45%) had a CVH diagnosis. CVH patients had increased odds of adverse outcomes including in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.40, 95%CI 1.31-1.49, p < 0.05), respiratory failure (1.11, 95%CI 1.04-1.17, p < 0.001), vascular complications (1.09, 95%CI 1.04-1.15, p < 0.001), acute kidney injury (1.36, 95%CI 1.30-1.42, p < 0.001), gastrointestinal bleeding (1.57, 95%CI 1.50-1.68, p < 0.001), cardiogenic shock (1.44, 95%CI 1.04-1.30, p < 0.001), sepsis (1.24, 95%CI 1.17-1.31, p < 0.001), and were less likely to undergo invasive management. On subgroup analysis, CHB had higher odds of adverse outcomes than the CHC group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION CVH patients presenting with AMI are associated with worse clinical outcomes. CHB subgroup had worse outcomes compared to the CHC subgroup.

Abstract
Background Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a severe, complicated human disease. E2F1-mediated apoptosis plays an important role in ACLF development. Jieduan-Niwan (JDNW) formula, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has shown remarkable clinical efficacy in ACLF treatment. However, the hepatoprotective mechanisms of the formula are barely understood. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of JDNW formula in ACLF treatment by specifically regulating E2F1-mediated apoptotic signaling pathways in rats. Methods The JDNW components were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The ACLF rat model was established using human serum albumin immune-induced liver cirrhosis, followed by D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide joint acute attacks. The ACLF rat was treated with JDNW formula. Prothrombin time activity was measured to investigate the coagulation function. Liver pathological injury was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and reticular fiber staining. The hepatocyte apoptosis index and apoptosis rate were determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Additionally, the expression of key genes and proteins that regulate E2F1-mediated apoptosis was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Seven major components of JDNW formula were detected. The formula ameliorated the coagulation function, decreased the hepatocyte apoptosis index and apoptosis rate, and alleviated liver pathological damage in ACLF rats. The down-regulation of the expression of genes and proteins from p53-dependent and non-p53-dependent apoptosis pathways and the up-regulation of the expression of genes from blocking anti-apoptotic signaling pathways indicated that JDNW formula inhibited excessive hepatocyte apoptosis in ACLF rats via E2F1-mediated apoptosis signaling pathways. Conclusion The findings indicate that JDNW formula protects livers of ACLF rats by inhibiting E2F1-mediated apoptotic signaling pathways, implying that these pathways might be a potential therapeutic target for ACLF treatment.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2021; 86:103669. [PMID: 33964399 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2021.103669] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2021] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The wide applications of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNP) and ubiquitous cadmium (Cd) pollution increase the chances of their co-existence in the environment and also pose potential health risks to humans. However, toxicological understanding of effects of co-exposures of TNP and Cd to mammals is still lacking. In this study, non-lethal doses of TNP and CdCl2 were intravenously co-administered to healthy or Concanavalin A (ConA)-induced acute hepatitis mice. Co-exposures of TNP and CdCl2 increased the accumulation of Cd2+ in the liver of hepatitis mice, which was 1.42-fold higher than that of healthy mice. Co-exposures also caused liver damage only in hepatitis mice on the basis of histopathological and biochemical evidence. Further study showed that co-exposure upregulated hepatic oxidative stress, which further induced autophagy and apoptosis only in the liver of hepatitis mice. This finding underlines the potential toxicological consequences of co-exposures of TNP and CdCl2 in hepatitis sufferers.

Abstract
Acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF) is one severe liver disease with rapid progression and high mortality. Identification of specific markers for the prediction of ACHBLF has important clinical significance. We explored the feasibility of UBE2Q1 gene promoter methylation as an early prediction and prognosis biomarker of ACHBLF.UBE2Q1 promoter methylation frequency was detected in 60 patients with acute-on-chronic hepatitis B pre-liver failure (Pre-ACHBLF), 40 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 20 cases of healthy control (HC). The UBE2Q1 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.The methylation frequency of the UBE2Q1 promoter in pre-ACHBLF patients was 38.33%, which was significantly lower than that in chronic hepatitis B patients (60.00%) and HCs (65.00%). The UBE2Q1 mRNA expression in pre-ACHBLF patients with UBE1Q1 non-methylation was significantly higher than that in patients with UBE1Q1 promoter methylation. Further analysis showed that hypomethylation of the UBE2Q1 promoter was positively correlated with total bilirubin and international normalized ratio levels in patients with pre-ACHBLF, but negatively correlated with PTA level. COX multivariate analysis showed that the model for end-stage liver disease score and UBE2Q1 promoter hypomethylation status were potential early warning factors that can predict the progression of pre-ACHBLF to ACHBLF. The sensitivity and specificity of UBE2Q1 promoter methylation status combined with the model for end-stage liver disease score for early diagnosis of ACHBLF were 92.9% and 75.0%, respectively. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.895.The hypomethylation of UBE2Q1 promoter is associated with severity of Pre-ACHBLF, which could serve as a potential prognostic biomarker for pre-ACHBLF.

Abstract
The soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (sRAGE) has been classically considered a sink for pro-inflammatory RAGE ligands and as such has been associated with protection from inflammatory stress and disease. An alternative, though not mutually exclusive view is that high levels of sRAGE in circulation reflect the overstimulation of cell surface RAGE which if persistent, lead to the amplification of pro-inflammatory processes and the exacerbation of pathological states. With these two scenarios in mind this review focuses on the potential role of sRAGE as a prospective biomarker of disease risk and adverse outcomes. The prognostic value of measuring sRAGE levels in blood is subjected to debate. Raised sRAGE levels may result from the overstimulation of cell surface RAGE. Raised sRAGE may reflect chronic inflammation and multimorbidity rather than a healthy state. sRAGE is a promising biomarker of disease risk and adverse outcomes.

Abstract
There is a complex oxidant and antioxidant system that maintains the redox homoeostasis in the liver. While suffering from exogenous or endogenous risk factors, the balance between oxidants and antioxidants is disturbed and excessive reactive oxygen species are generated, resulting in oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is prevalent in various liver diseases and is thought to be involved in their pathophysiology. Advanced oxidation protein products are generated under conditions of oxidative damage and are newly described protein markers of oxidative stress. Previous studies have underscored the universal pathogenic roles of oxidation protein products in various diseases. However, investigations into how these products participate in the development of liver diseases have been superficial and insufficient. In this review, we highlight the current understanding of the roles of advanced oxidation protein products in liver disease pathogenesis and the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, we summarize the current studies on advanced oxidation protein products in infectious and noninfectious, acute and chronic liver diseases. Different strategies for targeting these advanced oxidation protein products and future perspectives, which may pave the way for developing new therapeutic strategies, will also be discussed here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal varices and associated bleeding are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cirrhotic patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential role of the biomarkers HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box 1) and IL-6 (Interleukin-6) as predictors of infection, acute kidney injury and mortality in these patients. METHODS It is a prospective, observational study that included 32 cirrhotic patients with variceal bleeding. RESULTS The subjects'mean age was 52±5 years and 20 (62.5%) were male. The average MELD was 17.53±5 and the average MELD-Na was 20.63±6.06. Thirty patients (93.3%) patients were Child-Pugh class B or C. Infection was present in 9 subjects (28.1%), acute kidney injury was present in 6 (18.1%) and 4 (12.5%) patients died. The median serum levels of HMGB1 were 1487 pg/mL (0.1 to 8593.1) and the median serum level of IL-6 was 62.1 pg/mL (0.1 to 1102.4). The serum levels of HMGB1 and IL-6 were significantly higher in patients who developed infection, acute kidney injury and death (P<0.05). The Spearman's correlations for HMGB1 and IL-6 were 0.794 and 0.374 for infection, 0.53 and 0.374 for acute kidney injury and 0.467 and 0.404 for death, respectively. CONCLUSION Serum levels of HMGB1 and IL-6 were higher in patients with the three studied outcomes. HMGB1 serum levels showed a high correlation with infection and a moderate correlation with acute kidney injury and death, while IL-6 showed a moderate correlation with infection and death and a low correlation with acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Virally induced liver cancer usually evolves over long periods of time in the context of a strongly oxidative microenvironment, characterized by chronic liver inflammation and regeneration processes. They ultimately lead to oncogenic mutations in many cellular signaling cascades that drive cell growth and proliferation. Oxidative stress, induced by hepatitis viruses, therefore is one of the factors that drives the neoplastic transformation process in the liver. This review summarizes current knowledge on oxidative stress and oxidative stress responses induced by human hepatitis B and C viruses. It focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which these viruses activate cellular enzymes/systems that generate or scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and control cellular redox homeostasis. The impact of an altered cellular redox homeostasis on the initiation and establishment of chronic viral infection, as well as on the course and outcome of liver fibrosis and hepatocarcinogenesis will be discussed The review neither discusses reactive nitrogen species, although their metabolism is interferes with that of ROS, nor antioxidants as potential therapeutic remedies against viral infections, both subjects meriting an independent review.

Plasmatic Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products as a New Oxidative Stress Biomarker in Patients with Prosthetic-Joint-Associated Infections? DISEASE MARKERS 2017; 2017:6140896.

Abstract
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most common cause of failure of total joint arthroplasty, but a gold standard for PJI diagnosis is still lacking. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proinflammatory molecules inducing intracellular oxidative stress (OS) after binding to their cell membrane receptors (RAGE). The aim of this study was to evaluate plasmatic soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), as a new OS and infection marker correlating sRAGE to the level of OS and antioxidant defenses, in PJI, in order to explore the possible application of this new biomarker in the early diagnosis of PJI. Plasmatic sRAGE levels (by ELISA assay), plasma antioxidant total defenses (by lag time method), plasma reactive oxygen species (ROS), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels (by colorimetric assay) were evaluated in 11 PJI patients and in 30 matched controls. ROS and TBARS were significantly higher (p < 0.001) while plasma total antioxidant capacity and sRAGE were significantly lower (p < 0.01) in patients with PJI compared to controls. Our results confirm the OS in PJI and show a strong negative correlation between the level of sRAGE and oxidative status, suggesting the plasmatic sRAGE as a potential marker for improving PJI early diagnosis.

Abstract
Liver regeneration has important clinical importance in the setting of partial hepatectomy (PH). Following PH, quiescent hepatocytes can reenter cell cycle to restore liver mass. Hepatocyte cell cycle progression, as the basic motivations of liver regeneration, can be disrupted by multiple pathological factors such as oxidative stress. This study aimed to evaluate the role of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in S-phase arrest in hepatocytes. Serum AOPP level were measured during the perioperative period of PH in 33 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Normal Sprague Dawley rats, human and murine liver cell line (HL-7702 and AML-12) were challenged with AOPP prepared by incubation of rat serum albumin (RSA) with hypochlorous acid, and the effect of AOPP on hepatocytes cell cycle progression and liver regeneration was studied after PH. AOPP levels were increased following partial hepatectomy (PH) in patients with primary liver cancer. AOPP treatment impaired liver regeneration in rats following 70% partial hepatectomy. S-phase arrest was induced by AOPP administration in hepatocytes derived from the remnant liver at controlled times following partial hepatectomy in rats, and in HL-7702 and AML-12 cells. The effect of AOPP on hepatocyte S phase arrest was mainly mediated by a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, downregulation of downstream β-catenin signaling and decreased cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) expression, which inhibited S-phase progression in hepatocytes. This study provides preliminary evidence that AOPP can induce S-phase arrest in hepatocytes via the ROS-dependent, β-catenin-CDK2-mediated pathway. These findings suggest a novel pathogenic role of AOPP contributing to the impaired liver regeneration and may provide the basis for developing new strategies to improve liver regeneration in patients undergoing PH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe serum C-reactive protein and S100A12 concentrations in dogs with hepatic disease and to determine whether there is a relationship between the concentration of either and the severity of hepatic necroinflammation. METHODS Serum C-reactive protein and S100A12 concentrations were measured in 46 dogs undergoing hepatic biopsy. Dogs were divided into three groups: congenital portosystemic shunts, chronic hepatitis and hepatic neoplasia. The histological severity of hepatic necroinflammation was scored. RESULTS C-reactive protein and S100A12 concentrations were greater than the upper limit of the reference intervals in 39 and 26% of dogs, respectively. There was no association of disease group with C-reactive protein (P=0·1733) or S100A12 (P=0·1513) concentrations. There was a positive correlation between serum C-reactive protein concentration and hepatic necroinflammatory activity (rs =0·428, P=0·006). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Increased serum C-reactive protein and S100A12 concentrations were observed in a subpopulation of dogs with various types of hepatic diseases, suggesting acute-phase inflammation and activation of phagocytic cells, respectively. Dogs with higher hepatic necroinflammatory activity scores tended to have higher serum C-reactive protein concentrations. Further studies are needed to confirm this finding in a larger group of dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Predicting survival in decompensated cirrhosis (DC) is important in decision making for liver transplantation and resource allocation. We investigated whether high-resolution metabolic profiling can determine a metabolic phenotype associated with 90-day survival. METHODS Two hundred and forty-eight subjects underwent plasma metabotyping by (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and reversed-phase ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF-MS; DC: 80-derivation set, 101-validation; stable cirrhosis (CLD) 20 and 47 healthy controls (HC)). RESULTS (1)H NMR metabotyping accurately discriminated between surviving and non-surviving patients with DC. The NMR plasma profiles of non-survivors were attributed to reduced phosphatidylcholines and lipid resonances, with increased lactate, tyrosine, methionine and phenylalanine signal intensities. This was confirmed on external validation (area under the receiver operating curve [AUROC]=0.96 (95% CI 0.90-1.00, sensitivity 98%, specificity 89%). UPLC-TOF-MS confirmed that lysophosphatidylcholines and phosphatidylcholines [LPC/PC] were downregulated in non-survivors (UPLC-TOF-MS profiles AUROC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.89-0.98, sensitivity 100%, specificity 85% [positive ion detection])). LPC concentrations negatively correlated with circulating markers of cell death (M30 and M65) levels in DC. Histological examination of liver tissue from DC patients confirmed increased hepatocyte cell death compared to controls. Cross liver sampling at time of liver transplantation demonstrated that hepatic endothelial beds are a source of increased circulating total cytokeratin-18 in DC. CONCLUSION Plasma metabotyping accurately predicts mortality in DC. LPC and amino acid dysregulation is associated with increased mortality and severity of disease reflecting hepatocyte cell death.

Abstract
Although a possible association between hepatitis B and cardiovascular disease has been identified, the impact of viral hepatitis B on long-term prognosis after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is uncertain. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the specific impact of viral hepatitis B on survival after a first AMI through a retrospective analysis of data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database.This was a nationwide, propensity score-matched case-control study of patients admitted to hospitals between January 2000 and December 2012 with a primary diagnosis of a first AMI. Among the 7671 prospective patients, 244 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of viral hepatitis B infection were identified. A propensity score, one-to-one matching technique was used to match 244 controls to the AMI group for analysis. Controls were matched on the following variables: sex, age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular accidents, end-stage renal disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Overall, viral hepatitis B infection did not influence the 12-year survival rate (P = 0.98). However, survival was lower in female patients with viral hepatitis B infection compared to those without (P = 0.03; hazard ratio, 1.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-2.94). Inclusion of percutaneous coronary management improved survival, independent of sex, age, or hepatitis B status.Hepatitis B infection might increase the mortality risk of female patients after a first AMI. PCI may improve the long-term survival of patients after a first AMI, regardless of sex, age, and hepatitis B status.
