Does nasogastric aspirate predict high-risk endoscopic lesions in patients with acute upper-GI bleeding?
Nasogastric aspirate is useful in predicting high-risk lesions. Whether it can be used to determine which patients would benefit from earlier endoscopy deserves further study.
BSEP expression is severely diminished in HCC patients associated with alteration of FXR isoform expression induced by inflammation. Restoration of BSEP expression through suppressing inflammation in the liver may reestablish bile acid homeostasis.
