Advanced histology and impaired liver regeneration are associated with disease severity in acute-onset autoimmune hepatitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: Some cases of acute-onset autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) develop into severe or fulminant forms showing massive/submassive hepatic necrosis, and have a poor prognosis. The pathological features of acute-onset AIH remain uncertain. Ductular (intermediate) hepatocytes after massive/submassive necrosis may serve as hepatic progenitor cells, and could be seen as cytokeratin 7 (CK7)-positive hepatocytes in immunohistochemistry. Therefore, the aim was to examine histological features to obtain a better evaluation of acute-onset AIH. METHODS: The histological features of 27 clinically acute-onset AIH patients were examined by immunohistochemistry using CK7. RESULTS: On staining for CK7, intermediate hepatocytes were less commonly present (P < 0.001) and ductular reactions were more commonly present (P < 0.001) in severe/fulminant patients than in non-severe ones. In severe and fulminant patients, intermediate hepatocytes and intralobular progenitor cells were more commonly present (P < 0.005 and P < 0.05, respectively) and ductular reactions were less commonly present (P = 0.007) in recovered patients than in dead ones. Severe patients had more clinically and histologically advanced disease. CONCLUSIONS: Immunohistochemical evaluation using CK7 might be a useful tool for evaluating liver regeneration, and intermediate hepatocytes and progenitor cells might play an important role in liver regeneration after massive and submassive necrosis in acute-onset AIH.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
