Abstract
Pyroptosis is a newly discovered kind of cell death modality that, due to its association with innate immunity, plays a crucial role in cytolysis and inflammatory cytokine release during host defense against infection. In recent years, studies have shown that pyroptosis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of liver diseases. This article introduces and elaborates on the most recent research progress on pyroptosis in liver diseases based on the morphological features, molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
Fatty liver disease has undergone a major name change, with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) replacing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The definition of MASLD no longer requires the exclusion of other co-existing liver diseases but instead associates hepatic steatosis with overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or metabolic disorders and clearly defines the amount of alcohol consumption. The new definition also introduces the concepts of metabolic-related alcoholic liver disease and cryptogenic fatty liver disease. These changes will bring new challenges and opportunities for the design of clinical trials of fatty liver disease drugs and the selection of target populations.

Abstract
Hepatitis C is the first chronic viral infection that can be cured, and it has taken only 30 years from the discovery of the hepatitis C virus genome to the ability to eliminate the public health threat posed by hepatitis C virus. In the past ten years, the etiological detection of hepatitis C has experienced the development from sensitive and quantitative to rapid, convenient, automatic and point of care testing. With the continuous introduction of direct antiviral drugs, all types of hepatitis C patients, including special populations, can be safely and effectively cured by short courses of all-oral drugs. Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C is an important basis for eliminating the public health threat of hepatitis C. China has published the Planning of prevent and treatment for viral hepatitis in China (2017-2020). We look forward to achieving WHO's goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat at an early date through effective screening, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Hepatitis C infection is a serious public health threat, and the World Health Organization has recommended the elimination of public health threats from viral hepatitis, including hepatitis C, by 2030. Many countries and regions are actively exploring strategies and models to eliminate the public health threat of hepatitis C. It is estimated that there are at least 7.6 million cases of chronic hepatitis C in China, with both diagnosis and treatment rates far away to 2030 target. China's government, social organizations and doctors at different levels are also actively exploring the mode of eliminating the public health threat of hepatitis C in China, including the main mode supported by national standards, government-led mode, social institution undertaking and government-supported mode, medical alliance mode, screening in high-prevalence areas and services contracted with family doctors. China can have a lessons learning from international and ourselves experience, particularly as "Test and treat all based on needs and demand" strategy in Covid-19 control, finally achieve eliminate the public health threat of hepatitis C as soon as possible.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has risen sharply and has become the most common chronic liver disease, placing a heavy burden on patients and their families. A comprehensive assessment of the quality of life (QoL) of NAFLD patients is necessary to develop and implement more effective intervention strategies. Currently, the disease-specific scales commonly used to assess the quality of life of NAFLD patients include the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), and so on. The research results of home and abroad showed that the quality of life of NAFLD patients is significantly lower than that of healthy people, and with the aggravation of the disease, the quality of life of such patients decreases, and may even be lower than other patients with chronic liver disease, and the reason for this may be related to factors such as body mass index (BMI) and complications. In clinical practice, the assessment of quality of life can fully reflect the health status of NAFLD patients, thereby helping to establish the personalized treatment goals to comprehensively assess the impact of disease on patients with clinical interventions.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the basic information of anti-mitochondrial antibody (anti-AMA)-positive patients after initial diagnosis, and to set groundwork for further exploring the clinical significance of AMA in various diseases. Methods: Demographic data and related clinical information recorded through the Information System of Peking University People's Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected. Patients whose AMA and/or AMA-M2 first- tested as positive were recorded. Complications were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases. Results: A total of 1323 AMA positive cases were discovered for the first time. Among them, 78.0% were women, and the age of initial diagnosis was 56.8 ± 16.0 years. The first three initially diagnosed departments were rheumatology and immunology (37.4%), liver Disease (15.9%) and hematology (15.9%) relevant to musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases (45.2%), hematology and hematopoietic organs and immune diseases (30.6%) and circulatory system diseases (29.7%). There were 297 newly confirmed cases of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC); accounting for 89.2% of women, and the age of initial diagnosis was 60.1 ± 12.4 years. The top three departments of initially diagnosed as PBC were liver disease (37.7%), rheumatology (33.0%) and gastroenterology (15.2%), of which 39.7% had musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, 27.9% had circulatory diseases, and 24.9 % were combined with endocrine and metabolic diseases. Conclusion: Besides PBC and other autoimmune diseases, AMA and / or AMA-M2 positivity can be observed in a variety of diseases in several clinical departments, and its clinical significance remains to be further clarified.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical features of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in 6 children, and to improve the understanding of CVST in children. Methods: The risk factors, clinical presentations, laboratory findings, imaging manifestations, treatments and outcomes of 6 children (3 males, 3 females) with CVST admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The risk factors of disease were found in 5 cases, including 3 cases of infection, 1 case of L-asparaginase and dexamethasone chemotherapy and 1 case of oral prednisone alone. No definite risk factor was found in 1 case. The clinical presentations were headache in all cases, vomiting in 3 cases, convulsion in 2 cases, hemiplegia, photophobia, phonophobia and limitation of eyeball abduction in 1 case respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed 2 cases of intracranial hemorrhage, 2 cases of cerebral parenchymal infarction and 2 cases of abnormal signal in venous sinus. Thrombus located in superior sagittal sinus in 4 cases, transverse sinus in 4 cases, sigmoid sinus in 3 cases and straight sinus in 1 case. After anticoagulation treatment, headache and vomiting were alleviated, and veins were recanalized in 6 cases. Two cases were diagnosed with eyeball abduction limitation and hemiplegia but did not improve in the short term after treatment. Conclusions: Infection is the main risk factor of CVST in children and headache is often the cause of medical consultation. Brain MRI and MRV are helpful in diagnosis and timely treatment can improve prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence and related independent risk factors of depression in treatment-naïve Han ethnic Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods: Nine hundred and ninety-seven Han Chinese patients with confirmed chronic HCV infection were enrolled. Beck's depression inventory scale was used to assess depression score. Patients were divided into two groups according to the score: score≥17, depression group (16.85%, 168/997); score <17, no depression group (83.15%, 829/997). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors related with the onset of depression in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender distribution, marital status, education level, income level and smoking status (P < 0.05). Independent risk factors were female [odds ratio (OR) = 3.85; 95% CI: 2.28-6.50, P = 0.001], decompensated cirrhosis [OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.20-4.48, P = 0.013], unmarried [OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.12-3.60, P = 0.019], separated [OR = 17.39; 95% CI: 1.64-184.47, P = 0.018], divorced [OR = 3.82; 95% CI: 1.36-10.74, P = 0.011], without higher education [OR = 2.04; 95% CI: 1.22-3.42, P = 0.007], low income [OR = 3.94; 95% CI: 1.38-11.28, P = 0.011], middle income [OR = 2.96; 95% CI: 1.02-8.62, P = 0.047], uninterrupted smoking [OR = 3.67; 95% CI: 2.13-6.31, P = 0.001], and previously smoked [OR = 3.33, 95% CI: 1.66-6.68, P = 0.001]. Conclusion: The incidence of depression in patients with chronic hepatitis C is relatively high. The independent risk factors related with depression include female, unmarried, separated, and divorced, without higher education, low and middle-income level, smoking and disease progression to decompensated cirrhosis, but no significant correlation between hepatitis C virus genotypes and viral load.

The three most common concomitant medications prescribed for mentioned comorbidities were acarbose, metformin and repaglinide (Diabetes), nifedipine, amlodipine and metoprolol (Hypertension), aspirin, nifedipine and amlodipine (Ischemic heart disease), omeprazole, pantoprazole and levolfoxacin (Gastroduodenitis), ribavirin, pegylated interferon alpha-2a and alpha-2b ( Co- infected with hepatitis B and C virus). Conclusion: The five most frequent comorbidities in adult patients with chronic hepatitis C are diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, gastroduodenitis, and co-infection with HBV and HCV. A concomitant medication use in those patients with comorbidities causes potential drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
Hepatitis C is one of the major causes of liver disease worldwide. Chronic hepatitis C can cause liver fibrosis and cirrhosis leading to end-stage liver disease. Antiviral therapy can clear the virus, stop the progress of the disease, thereby reducing the incidence of advanced liver disease. This article aims to discuss the effects and safety of antiviral treatments, including direct- acting antiviral agents, on patients with chronic hepatitis C with fibrosis and compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Insect-specific scorpion neurotoxin AaIT gene inserted into a binary vector was transferred into a hybrid poplar clone N-106(P. deltoides x P. simonii) growing in the Southern of China. We obtained sixty-two regenerated plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens transferring system. PCR and PCR-Southern analysis showed that AaIT gene was incorporated into the genome of some recovered poplar plants. One of the transformed plants named A5 was significantly resistant to feeding by first instar larvae of Lymantria dispar, compared with the untransformed control plant. It caused a decrease in leaf consumption by larvae, a lower larval weight gain and a higher larval motality rate of Lymantria dispar. ELISA analysis proved that AaIT gene was expressed in this transfomed poplar plant.
