Short Term Virologic Efficacies of Telbivudine versus Entecavir against Hepatitis B-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Young Woon Kim, Jung Hyun Kwon, Eun Chung, Sung Won Lee, Jong-yul Lee, Jeong Won Jang, Kyu Won Chung, Soon Woo Nam

“…However, because of the resistance rate to telbivudine (TLV), the current guidelines recommend entecavir (ETV) or tenofovir (TNV) as the first-line therapy for chronic hepatitis B. We investigated the short term virologic efficacy of TLV in comparison with ETV as the first-line agent of HBV suppression in HBV-related advanced HCC patients. …”

Analysis of Exosomal miRNA and Hepatic mRNA Expression in the Dysregulation of Insulin Action in Perimenopausal Mice by Yu Yang, Yu Chen, Changju Liu, Su Wang, Yijing Zhao, Wen Cao, Kun Wang

“…Conclusion: The perimenopausal period acts as a potential factor in introducing insulin resistance as evidenced by impaired insulin action and altered expression profiles of exosomal miRNAs and hepatic genes. The present study contributes to the understanding that abnormal cargos carried by plasma exosomes, such as miRNAs, may be related to altered expression of the corresponding genes in the liver and abnormal insulin response.…”
