In this study, Stage II–III colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively selected to evaluate the frequency of chemotherapy-associated steatosis and to determine whether patients on statins throughout adjuvant chemotherapy develop chemotherapy-associated steatosis at a lower frequency. Baseline and incident steatosis for up to one year from chemotherapy start date was assessed based on radiology. Of 269 patients, 76 (28.3%) had steatosis at baseline. Of the remaining 193 cases, patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 135) had 1.57 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89 to 2.79) times the adjusted risk of developing steatosis compared to patients not receiving chemotherapy (n = 58).

  • Non - Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
    NON - ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE Author: Nicolene Naidu Bachelor of Biological Science (Cellular Biology), Bachelor of Medical Science (Medical Microbiology) (Honours) Non - Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (termed NAFLD for short) is a condition characterized by the significant accumulation of lipids in the hepatocytes of the liver parenchyma. While non - alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease are pathologically similar, unlike alcoholic liver disease, non - alcoholic fatty liver disease occurs in patients who do not have a history of excessive alcohol intake. Another term closely related to NAFLD but more histologically and clinically specific is Non - Alcoholic Steatohepatitis(NASH). It was coined by Ludwig et al in 1980 and is characterised by a fatty liver accompanied by inflammation and hepatocyte injury (“Ballooning”). Fibrosis may or may not be present. It should be noted that the histological appearance of non – alcoholic steatohepatitis is identical to that of alcoholic liver disease. Distinction between the two is based on the amount of alcohol intake. Non - alcoholic fatty liver disease is the loose term used to describe a wide spectrum of liver damage ranging from hepatic steatosis (simple benign fatty liver), non - alcoholic steatohepatitis, chronic fibrosis and cirrhosis (P Angulo, 2002). Figure 1: Showing a drawing of the various stages of liver damage, including a normal liver; fatty liver in which deposits of fat cause liver enlargement; liver fibrosis in which scar tissueforms and more liver cell injury occurs and cirrhosis in which scar tissue makes the liver hard and unable to work properly.(www.liverfoundation.org). 1 Pseudo-alcoholic liver disease, non - alcoholic Laennec’s disease, alcohol-like hepatitis, diabetic hepatitis and steatonecrosis are among the terms that have been used to refer to non – alcoholic fatty liver disease (Shethet al, 1997).

  • Quantitative Assessment of Liver Steatosis and Affected Pathways
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Quantitative Assessment of Liver Steatosis and Afected Pathways with Molecular Imaging and Received: 29 November 2017 Accepted: 16 February 2018 Proteomic Profling Published: xx xx xxxx Yasuyo Urasaki1, Chi Zhang2, Ji-Xin Cheng2 & Thuc T. Le1 Current assessment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with histology is time-consuming, insensitive to early-stage detection, qualitative, and lacks information on etiology. This study explored alternative methods for fast and quantitative assessment of NAFLD with hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy and nanofuidic proteomics. Hyperspectral SRS microscopy quantitatively measured liver composition of protein, DNA, and lipid without labeling and sensitively detected early-stage steatosis in a few minutes. On the other hand, nanofuidic proteomics quantitatively measured perturbations to the post-translational modifcation (PTM) profles of selective liver proteins to identify afected cellular signaling and metabolic pathways in a few hours. Perturbations to the PTM profles of Akt, 4EBP1, BID, HMGCS2, FABP1, and FABP5 indicated abnormalities in multiple cellular processes including cell cycle regulation, PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascade, autophagy, ketogenesis, and fatty acid transport. The integrative deployment of hyperspectral SRS microscopy and nanofuidic proteomics provided fast, sensitive, and quantitative assessment of liver steatosis and afected pathways that overcame the limitations of histology. NAFLD afects nearly 30% of the general adult population1 and up to 70–80% of obese and diabetic populations worldwide2. NAFLD is characterized by a broad range of disorders from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steato- hepatitis (NASH)3. NASH is a common cause of end-stage liver disease such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular car- cinoma, which require liver transplantation4,5.
