Accurate quantification of alcohol intake is essential for the diagnosis, subclassification, and management of steatotic liver disease (SLD). In everyday clinical practice, alcohol histories rely primarily on physician-assisted self-report, with validated questionnaires used variably. Both provider-level inconsistencies in documentation and patient-level factors (e.g., recall and social-desirability biases) can contribute to misclassification of SLD subtypes. Phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a direct alcohol biomarker detectable for ~2–4 weeks, has emerged as a promising objective tool that can complement self-report. Across diverse SLD populations, PEth consistently uncovers underreported alcohol use, sharpens subclassification, informs prognosis, and enables longitudinal monitoring to guide care. In liver transplantation, PEth supports documentation of abstinence and detection of relapse to enable timely intervention. This mini-review synthesises current evidence on PEth in SLD, emphasises its value in both clinical and research settings, and outlines priorities for integrating PEth into structured care pathways and clinical trial design to improve outcomes and harmonise endpoints.

准确量化酒精摄入量对脂肪变性肝病(SLD)的诊断、亚分类和治疗至关重要。在日常临床实践中,酒精病史主要依赖于医生协助的自我报告,并使用多种有效的问卷。提供者层面的文件不一致和患者层面的因素(例如,回忆和社会期望偏差)都可能导致SLD亚型的错误分类。磷脂酰乙醇(PEth)是一种可检测2-4周的直接酒精生物标志物,已成为一种有前途的客观工具,可以补充自我报告。在不同的特殊生活障碍人群中,PEth一致发现了少报的酒精使用情况,明确了亚分类,告知预后,并使纵向监测能够指导护理。在肝移植中,PEth支持禁欲记录和复发检测,以便及时干预。这篇小型综述综合了目前在SLD中关于PEth的证据,强调了其在临床和研究环境中的价值,并概述了将PEth纳入结构化护理途径和临床试验设计的优先事项,以改善结果和协调终点。

Background and Aims

A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can effectively overcome portal hypertension, but is prevented by contraindications in a considerable proportion of patients. In this study, we investigated the option of a constrained TIPS (cTIPS) with reduced diameter for high-risk patients.

Methods

Elective cTIPS were placed in 60 high-risk patients at Hannover Medical School (10/2020–04/2023). In the cTIPS procedure, a 6 mm stent(−graft) was inserted first into the intrahepatic tract to constrain the TIPS endoprosthesis. Procedural data, complications and 12 months follow-up were recorded. A control cohort of patients with standard TIPS (sTIPS) was generated using propensity score matching, resulting in 40 patients per group.

Results

Indications for cTIPS were cardiac impairment, poor liver function and/or history of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in 22, 17 and 8 patients, respectively. cTIPS was technically successful in all patients. Portosystemic gradient (PSG) was successfully lowered in both groups (sTIPS: median 60% reduction and cTIPS: median 50% reduction from an initial PSG of 15 mmHg in both groups, p = 0.006), while post-TIPS PSG remained higher in the cTIPS group compared to the sTIPS group (cTIPS: median 7 mmHg vs. sTIPS: median 6 mmHg; p = 0.042). TIPS dysfunction and revision were significantly more frequent in the cTIPS cohort than in the sTIPS cohort (sTIPS: 1 vs. cTIPS: 9; p = 0.014 and sTIPS: 7 vs. cTIPS: 13; p = 0.036). Control of portal hypertensive symptoms (no paracentesis, no bleeding) was similar in both groups (p = 0.267), but overt HE was less frequent in the cTIPS group than in the sTIPS group (sTIPS: 14 vs. cTIPS: 4; p = 0.042).

Conclusion

The constrained TIPS may offer a more careful step-up approach for selected high-risk TIPS patients. The technical procedure appears to be safe and feasible, however the risk for thrombosis and therefore needed revisions is increased. Larger study cohorts are needed to further explore promising results.

背景和目的:经颈静脉肝内门静脉系统分流术(TIPS)可以有效地克服门静脉高压症,但在相当一部分患者中存在禁忌症。在这项研究中,我们研究了高风险患者选择缩小直径的受限TIPS (cTIPS)。方法:选择汉诺威医学院(2020年10月- 2023年4月)60例高危患者的选择性cTIPS。在cTIPS手术中,首先将6mm支架(移植物)插入肝内道以约束TIPS内假体。记录手术资料、并发症及12个月随访情况。使用倾向评分匹配生成标准TIPS (sTIPS)患者的对照队列,每组40例患者。结果:cTIPS的适应症分别为22例、17例和8例患者的心脏功能受损、肝功能不良和/或肝性脑病(HE)病史。cTIPS在所有患者中技术上都是成功的。两组的门脉系统梯度(PSG)均成功降低(sTIPS:中位降低60%,cTIPS:中位降低50%,两组的初始PSG均为15 mmHg, p = 0.006),而tips后cTIPS组的PSG仍高于sTIPS组(cTIPS:中位7 mmHg vs. sTIPS:中位6 mmHg, p = 0.042)。TIPS功能障碍和翻修在cTIPS队列中的发生率明显高于sTIPS队列(sTIPS: 1 vs. cTIPS: 9; p = 0.014; sTIPS: 7 vs. cTIPS: 13; p = 0.036)。两组门静脉高压症状的控制(无穿刺、无出血)相似(p = 0.267),但cTIPS组明显HE发生率低于sTIPS组(sTIPS: 14 vs. cTIPS: 4; p = 0.042)。结论:有约束的TIPS可为选定的高危TIPS患者提供更谨慎的升级方法。技术程序似乎是安全可行的,但血栓形成的风险因此需要修改。需要更大的研究队列来进一步探索有希望的结果。

Background & Aims

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the leading cause of acute viral hepatitis. We evaluated the performance of the new automated Elecsys Anti-HEV IgG and Elecsys Anti-HEV IgM assays (Roche Diagnostics) in detecting acute, recent and past HEV infection.

Methods

Performance of the Elecsys assays relative to three commercially available CE-IVD anti-HEV assays was assessed in a large multinational cohort (six laboratories in Germany, Austria and China). Sensitivity testing included samples from patients with presumed acute (IgM: n = 707; IgG: n = 490) and recovered HEV infection (n = 156). Specificity testing included samples from asymptomatic blood donors (n = 5040), routine diagnostic samples (n = 2427), and pregnant women (n = 544). An in-house anti-HEV IgG neutralisation method was performed to resolve discrepant specificity sample results. Seroconversion sensitivity analysis was performed using nine commercial seroconversion panels (n = 119 samples).

Results

Relative sensitivity and specificity of the Elecsys assays were > 98.6% (95% CI: 92.2%–100%) and > 98.9% (98.4%–99.2%) for anti-HEV IgM and > 81.2% (79.3%–83.0%) for anti-HEV IgG in different cohorts, respectively. After confirming anti-HEV IgG in 680/696 discrepant samples by a neutralisation method, relative specificity of the Elecsys Anti-HEV IgG assay was > 99.4% (98.8%–99.7%). Evaluation of commercial seroconversion panels showed good overall agreement between the assays.

Conclusions

The Elecsys Anti-HEV IgG and IgM assays showed favourable overall performance when compared to three commercially available CE-IVD marked assays. Neutralisation data indicated higher sensitivity of the Elecsys Anti-HEV IgG assay than comparator assays in detecting past infections and lower IgG concentrations.

背景与目的:戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)是急性病毒性肝炎的主要病因。我们评估了新的自动化Elecsys Anti-HEV IgG和Elecsys Anti-HEV IgM检测(罗氏诊断)在检测急性、近期和过去HEV感染方面的性能。方法:在一个大型跨国队列(德国、奥地利和中国的六个实验室)中,对Elecsys检测方法相对于三种市售CE-IVD抗hev检测方法的性能进行了评估。敏感性测试包括来自推定急性(IgM: n = 707; IgG: n = 490)和康复的HEV感染(n = 156)患者的样本。特异性检测包括无症状献血者(n = 5040)、常规诊断样本(n = 2427)和孕妇(n = 544)。采用内部抗hev IgG中和方法来解决特异性样品结果的差异。使用9个商用血清转换面板(n = 119个样本)进行血清转换敏感性分析。结果:在不同的队列中,Elecsys检测抗hev IgM和抗hev IgG的相对灵敏度和特异性分别为> 98.6% (95% CI: 92.2% ~ 100%)和> 98.9%(98.4% ~ 99.2%),> 81.2%(79.3% ~ 83.0%)。通过中和法在680/696份差异样本中确认抗hev IgG后,Elecsys抗hev IgG检测的相对特异性为99.4%(98.8%-99.7%)。对商业血清转换面板的评估显示,两种测定方法总体上一致。结论:与三种市售的CE-IVD标记检测相比,Elecsys抗hev IgG和IgM检测显示出良好的整体性能。中和数据表明,在检测过去感染和较低的IgG浓度方面,Elecsys抗hev IgG检测比比较物检测灵敏度更高。

Background & Aims

Liver fibrosis significantly burdens global health, and increased protein synthesis during hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation plays a crucial role in its progression. Ribosome is the site of protein synthesis. RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is a protein that regulates the transcription of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes into ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in ribosomal biogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the role and mechanism of Pol I-regulated ribosome biogenesis in HSCs activation and liver fibrosis progression.

Methods

Initially, we assessed the expression levels of Pol I in the serum of patients diagnosed with liver fibrosis. Then, we assessed Pol I-regulated ribosome biogenesis levels in mouse models of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Finally, we employed overexpression or knockdown of the Pol I gene in LX2 cells or utilised the Pol I inhibitor CX-5461 in vivo and in vitro, assessing the levels of ribosome biogenesis and HSCs activation.

Results

Pol I levels were elevated in the serum of patients with liver fibrosis. Additionally, Pol I-regulated ribosome biogenesis levels were significantly increased in both MASH and CCl4 mouse models, as well as in HSCs activated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1). The overexpression of Pol I was found to enhance the activation of HSCs and promote ribosome biogenesis, while the knockdown of Pol I or the inhibitor CX-5461 inhibited these processes.

Conclusions

Pol I-regulated ribosome biogenesis is significantly increased during HSCs activation and liver fibrosis progression. Pol I may serve as a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis.

背景和目的肝纤维化严重影响全球健康,肝星状细胞(HSC)激活过程中蛋白质合成的增加在其进展中起着至关重要的作用。核糖体是蛋白质合成的部位。RNA聚合酶I (RNA polymerase I, Pol I)是一种在核糖体生物发生过程中调控核糖体DNA (rDNA)基因转录为核糖体RNA (rRNA)的蛋白。因此,我们研究了Pol i调控的核糖体生物发生在造血干细胞活化和肝纤维化进展中的作用和机制。方法初步测定肝纤维化患者血清中Pol I的表达水平。然后,我们评估了代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝炎(MASH)和四氯化碳(CCl4)小鼠模型中Pol i调节的核糖体生物发生水平。最后,我们在LX2细胞中过度表达或敲低Pol I基因,或在体内和体外使用Pol I抑制剂CX-5461,评估核糖体生物发生水平和造血干细胞激活水平。结果肝纤维化患者血清Pol I水平升高。此外,在MASH和CCl4小鼠模型中,以及在转化生长因子β1 (tgf - β1)激活的造血干细胞中,Pol i调节的核糖体生物发生水平均显著增加。研究发现,过表达的Pol I可增强造血干细胞的活化,促进核糖体的生物生成,而敲低Pol I或抑制剂CX-5461则可抑制这些过程。结论在造血干细胞活化和肝纤维化过程中,Pol i调控的核糖体生物发生显著增加。Pol I可能作为肝纤维化诊断和治疗的潜在靶点。
