Intensive Enteral Nutrition is Ineffective for Individuals with Severe Alcoholic Hepatitis Treated with Corticosteroids

Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a life-threatening disease for which adequate oral nutritional support is recommended. We performed a randomized controlled trial to determine whether the combination of corticosteroid and intensive enteral nutrition … Continue reading

Whole-exome Sequencing analyses of Inflammatory Bowel Disease-associated Colorectal Cancers

A long duration of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases the risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). Mutation analysis of limited numbers of genes has indicated that colorectal tumors that develop in patients with IBD differ from those of patients witho… Continue reading

Lipid-induced Signaling Causes Release of Inflammatory Extracellular Vesicles from Hepatocytes

Hepatocyte cellular dysfunction and death induced by lipids, and macrophage-associated inflammation are characteristics of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The fatty acid palmitate can activate death receptor 5 (DR5) on hepatocytes, leading to thei… Continue reading
