BACKGROUND: People living with hepatitis C infection (HCV) have a significant impact on the global healthcare system, with high rates of inpatient service use. Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have the potential to alleviate this burden; however, the evidence on the impact of HCV infection and hospital outcomes is undetermined. This systematic review aims to assess this research gap, including how DAAs may modify the relationship between HCV infection and hospital-related outcomes. METHODS: We searched five databases up to August 2022 to identify relevant studies evaluating the impact of HCV infection on hospital-related outcomes...

Sepsis is an inflammatory reaction disorder state that is induced by infection. The activation and regulation of the immune system play an essential role in the development of sepsis. Our previous studies have shown that ghrelin ameliorates intestinal dysfunction in sepsis. Very little is known about the mechanism of ghrelin and its receptor (GHSR) on the intestinal barrier and the immune function of macrophage regulation. Our research is to investigate the regulatory effect and molecular mechanism of the ghrelin/GHSR axis on intestinal dysfunction and macrophage polarization in septic rats...

Human antigen R (HuR), also known as ELAVL1, is a widely expressed RNA-binding protein (RBP) that has a significant impact on the development and advancement of tumors. Our previous study found that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) may impede the proliferation and increase apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by reducing the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of HuR. However, how posttranscriptional regulation influences HuR functions in gastric cancer remains to be elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that miR-325-3p has the potential to regulate the expression level of HuR by directly binding to its 3'UTR, which in turn led to a significant reduction in proliferation and an increase in apoptosis in gastric cancer cells...

Gambogic acid (GA) is a natural xanthonoid secreted by Garcinia hanburyi tree. It possesses anti-cancer activity in various types of cancers. In gastric cancer, it inhibits cell proliferation through increasing apoptosis. However, whether necroptosis is involved in the GA-induced proliferation inhibited in gastric cancer is unknown. In the present study, we found that RIPK1 specific inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) attenuated GA-induced proliferation inhibition. GA treatment increased the phosphorylation of necroptosis-related proteins, RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL, and their interactions to form the necrosome complex...

OBJECTIVES: The rapidly evolving organ failure and high short-run mortality of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are inseparable from the role of systemic inflammatory response. S100A8 and S100A9 are associated with the excessive cytokine storm and play a decisive part within the process of inflammation. We aimed to clarify the role of them in predicting prognosis of hepatitis B virus-related ACLF (HBV-ACLF). METHODS: S100A8 and S100A9 levels were analyzed in plasma of 187 transplant-free HBV-ACLF patients, 28 healthy controls and 40 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients...

Bleeding after endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) remains as a major challenge during ERCP procedure. Standard endoscopic haemostatic procedures have demonstrated good performance for bleeding control. Novel endoscopic haemostatic agents have also been widely used in gastrointestinal bleeding management. Regardless, there is still a paucity of high-quality evidence evaluating the practicality of these agents in ERCP. This case series study was performed on the patients who underwent ERCP procedure in a tertiary referral private hospital within 2 years period...
