Abstract: Disclosed are a message service provision method for providing a message service via an open chat room corresponding to link information, and a message server and a terminal for executing the message service provision method. The message service provision method comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a message server, a request for issuing link information for an open chat room via a message application; receiving, from the message server, link information generated in response to the request for issuing link information; sharing the link information according to a request for sharing inputted by a user of a host terminal; and performing chatting with a user of a guest terminal participating in the open chat room by means of the shared link information; wherein the user of the guest terminal and the user of the host terminal are users who subscribed to a message service provided via the message server.

Abstract: An Interferon Gamma Inducible Protein 16 (IFI16) mutant gene and its use as a marker for predicting, diagnosing, or prognosticating risk or severity of chronic liver disease is described. As a result of performing genomic analysis on NAFLD and NASH patient groups, it was confirmed that the frequency of IFI16 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) including rs2276404, rs73021847, rs7532207, and rs6940 was increased, and the expression of the IFI16 mutant gene was increased depending on the disease stage of liver disease. The IFI16 SNV was highly expressed in infiltrating macrophages, playing a role in macrophage-induced inflammatory processes, and the IFI16 variant bound more strongly to dsDNA than wild-type IFI16, exacerbating the impaired mitochondrial DNA-sensing response signaling of the IFI16-PYCARD-CASP1 pathway. Thus, the IFI16 mutant gene may be used for predicting, diagnosing, or prognosticating risk or severity of chronic liver disease.
