  Introduction. Coronary heart disease (CHD) remains the most common cause of death and disability in Ukraine and around the world. CHD is caused by atherosclerosis. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered an independent predictor of CHD. Aim. To identify the relationship between atherosclerosis and NAFLD according to polysystemic ultrasound (ps-US) of the arteries and liver steatometry. Materials and methods. We conducted an open prospective study in 2019 of 93 people, including 58 women and 35 men aged 22 to 79 years. Chronic CHD was detected in 36 patients and 57 apparently healthy individuals. US was performed by Soneus P7 (Ultrasign, Ukraine). We determined condition of the abdominal organs in the B-mode as well as the amount extent of hepatic steatosis – through steatometry by attenuation coefficient (AC) measurement – ACM) for the diagnosis of NAFLD. Atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta and common carotid arteries (atherosclerotic plaques and the thickness of the intima-media complex) was detected. Results and discussion. There was an increase in AC (a sign of NAFLD) in 36 patients with CHD. The presence of carotid atherosclerosis confirms a higher percentage of patients with signs of hepatosis in the CHD group. Conclusions. An innovative method of quantitative ultrasound of hepatosteatosis (steatometry) can be used as a screening for the detection of NAFLD in population studies. The relationship between markers of atherosclerosis and NAFLD has been revealed according to the data of ps-US of the arteries and hepatic steatometry which allows to prescribe comprehensive treatment and evaluate its effectiveness. NAFLD can be a predictor of atherosclerosis and the formation of CHD, which gives grounds for the primary prevention of the latter.

ObjectiveNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the major causes of liver-related diseases but relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) and NAFLD in the elderly is not reported yet. In this study, we investigated the role of TyG index for predicting the incidence of NAFLD in the elderly.Design and settingThis is a prospective cohort study in Henan, China, from 2011 to 2018.Participants and methodsIn total, 46 693 elderly who participated in a routine physical examination programme from 2011 to 2018 were included in this study. TyG index was calculated as ln (fasting triglyceride (mg/dL)×fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2), while NAFLD was defined as hepatic steatosis after excluding other causes based on the results of abdominal ultrasonography; Cox regression model was performed to explore the relationship between TyG index and NAFLD. Also, mediation effect was used to analyse the role of the TyG index in WHtR (waist-to-height ratio) and NAFLD.ResultsDuring the 149 041 person-years follow-up, a total of 5660 NAFLD events occurred (3.80/100 person-years). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, quartiles 4 of TyG index significantly increased the incidence of NAFLD compared with quartile 1, the HRs and 95% CI were 1.314 (1.234 to 1.457). In addition, TyG index played a partial mediating role in the relationship between WHtR and NAFLD and indirect effect was 1.009 (1.006 to 1.011).ConclusionHigher TyG index was associated with higher risk of NAFLD in the aged, and therefore, TyG index may be a novel predictor for incidence of NAFLD. Further, regular examination and evaluation of the TyG index might be useful for controlling the occurrence of NAFLD.

The aim: To analyze the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and changes in the gut microbiota. Materials and methods: The publications of domestic and foreign editions in the databases of the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Journal, PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science were processed and analyzed. Conclusions: In recent years, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was placed among the important diseases in gastroenterology. During this time, more and more data appear on the link between changes in the human intestinal microbiome and the development of metabolic diseases, including NAFLD. Contemporary research has indeed found evidence of such a relationship. Thus, some strains of microorganisms have been identified in more detail, which directly or indirectly affect the development or course of the above-mentioned disease. For a better understanding of the strategies for the treatment of pathologies, it is necessary to delve into the study of etiological factors, therefore, NAFLC cannot be considered a pathology that has been sufficiently studied. Indeed, recent data indicate that the development and severity of the course of the disease are not always associated with the physiological processes already known to us.

The magnitude of the effect of fetuin-A and fetuin-B on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains undefined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to synthesize previous findings to obtain a reliable estimation of this relationship. This study was registered in PROSPERO with the number CRD42019126314. Studies published not later than March 2019, examining the relationship between fetuin-A, fetuin-B, and NAFLD, were identified by a systematic search in the electronic databases of the Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Pooled estimates of standardized mean difference (SMD), calculated using the random-effects model in a meta-analysis, were applied to estimate the strength of the association between fetuin-A, fetuin-B, and NAFLD. Thirty publications were identified and analyzed based on specified inclusion criteria. Collectively, they consisted of 3800 NAFLD participants and 3614 controls. Compared with the controls, significant higher values of the fetuin-A (SMD = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.07, Z = 6.82, p < 0.001) and fetuin-B (SMD = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.33, Z = 2.27, p = 0.023) were observed in NAFLD patients. Meanwhile, in the subgroup analysis, the effect value of fetuin-A in the NASH group was significantly higher than that in the NAFL group (p = 0.036). The findings of this study suggest that elevated fetuin-A and fetuin-B may independently indicate the occurrence of NAFLD. Nevertheless, further research is needed to confirm these results.

Changes in the nature of the interaction of risk factors and global aging of the population have led to a rapid increase in patients with combined pathology, elevated to the rank of a new non-infectious epidemic. The previously existing ‘one disease, one patient’ paradigm is losing its relevance and no longer meets medical needs, therefore patients with comorbidities need a broader approach and individualized treatment regimens, which are currently not fully defined. According to modern concepts, the coexistence of pathogenetically and pathophysiologically interrelated two or more diseases in one individual is defined by the term ‘comorbidity’. The most common comorbidity phenotype is cardiometabolic. Of particular interest is the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), since both diseases are highly prevalent in the population and have common metabolic risk factors (obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). In addition, there is evidence that NAFLD is an independent risk factor for CVD, which suggests not only the presence of common pathogenetic mechanisms other than metabolic pathways, but also the likelihood that treatment of liver disease can reduce the burden of CVD. In this regard, this review comprehensively analyzes the relationship between NAFLD and CVD and discusses a possible therapeutic strategy, including the use of a combination of ademetionine with ursodeoxycholic acid.

ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is an epidemic and chronic disease that can bring other comorbidities to the patient. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is present in up to 90% of these patients and can progress to hepatitis and hepatocarcinoma. The relationship of this liver disease and obesity is already well known; however, it is possible that some parameters of the comorbidities are more related than others in the pathophysiology of the disease. Aim: Was analyzed the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the comorbidities of metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese patients. Methods: Was involved ultrasonography and laboratory assessment of obese patients before bariatric surgery. NAFLD was assessed using the same sonography parameters for all patients. Based on the results, the patients were divided into groups with and without NAFLD. Comparisons between them involved clinical and laboratory variables such as fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment - insulin resistance), glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transferase, C-reactive protein, albumin and ferritin. Patients who reported alcohol abuse (defined as the consumption of >14 drinks per week) or who had hepatitis were excluded. Results: Eighty-two patients (74 women and 8 men) were studied, of whom 53 (64.6%) had NAFLD and 29 (35.4%) did not. The levels of glycated hemoglobin (p=0.05) and LDL cholesterol (p=0.01) were significantly altered in patients with NAFLD. However, weight, body mass index and excess weight did not differ significantly between the groups (p=0.835, p=0.488 and p=0.727, respectively). Conclusions: Altered LDL cholesterol and glycated hemoglobin levels were related to the presence of NAFLD.
