the study includes patients with liver cirrhosis irrespective of the stage excluding people with active tumor or other major health issue endangering life, the protocol includes the use of autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells harvested from the same patient under local anesthesia ,followed by cell concentration and viability testing …
This is a prospective single-center dose escalation study of the administration of the microencapsulated hepatocyte therapy in adult liver failure. The purpose of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of microencapsulated hepatocytes in liver failure patients and its effectiveness in treating the disease. We previously generated proliferating …
The primary objective of this interventional study is determine if the future liver remnant can be optimized by improving liver function pre-operatively in patients who are scheduled for major hepatectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does high-dose insulin therapy improve liver function in the pre-operative setting? What …
Obesity and overweight are rising in Chinese populations, where metabolic risks begin at lower BMI thresholds than in Western cohorts. Many individuals with overweight or mild-to-moderate obesity are ineligible or unwilling to undergo bariatric surgery due to invasiveness and risk. Endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies offer minimally invasive alternatives but …

To assess whether orange peel fermentation has the effect of reducing body fat in adults
To evaluate the correlation between LivQ-box® parameters carried by iLivTouch and liver inflammation in patients with NAFLD, as well as the diagnostic value of liver inflammation of different severity levels.
Obesity is a chronic disease characterized phenotypically by an increase in body weight (BMI\>30 kg/m2) and by a series of associated pathologies, such as hypertension, diabetes, hepatic steatosis. The association of these pathologies compromises the patient's survival and quality of life. The multifactorial origin of obesity makes its etiopathology difficult …
The investigators identified polyreactive immunoglobulin G (pIgG) in adults (published in Hepatology: https://doi.org/10.1002/hep.32134) and children (in preparation). Quantification of these pIgG using a "home-made" ELISA facilitates the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) as compared to non-AIH liver diseases and healthy controls. Positivity for pIgG was independent from ANA/SMA positivity and …
Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) occurs in 65-90% of patients with liver cirrhosis. Severity of malnutrition correlates with progression of liver disease and leads to sarcopenia in 30-70% of cirrhotic patients. Malnutrition and sarcopenia are associated with an increased risk of complications and mortality. In cirrhosis the gut microbiome is altered leading …
