Article Synopsis
- Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a severe complication of advanced cirrhosis, with Type-1 HRS being rare but highly lethal and still lacking effective treatments.
- A case study of a 76-year-old man showcased how a combination of hemodialysis adjustments, medications, and later peritoneal dialysis (PD) led to stabilization, kidney recovery, and improved quality of life post-transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement.
- The findings suggest the need to further explore the potential role of dialysis and TIPS in treating HRS, encouraging more research into when to start dialysis and its effectiveness in these patients.
Background: With an estimated basic reproductive number of 3.77, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread. It is urgent to exert adequate efforts for the management of dialysis patients, caregivers, and healthcare personnel (HCP).

Whether the pollen records can be used to detect the occurrence of Eurasian steppe, or even to further delimit various steppe types was until now unclear. Here we characterized modern pollen assemblages of meadow steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe from eastern Eurasia along an ecological humidity gradient.

Objective: To investigate the toxicity attenuation and efficacy potentiation effect of liquorice on treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with Tripterygium wilfordii (TW).
Methods: One hundred and twenty RA patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the treated group treated with compound decoctum of TW and liquorice and the control group with TW ployglycosidium tablets both based on routine treatment. The therapeutic effect and adverse reaction were observed after 2 months of treatment.
