Introduction: Although the current western treatment plans for unstable angina (UA) has been optimized in past decades, UA still is a common phenotype of acute coronary syndrome and significantly influence the quality of life and endanger lives.

In clinical practices, we found Luofengning granule (LFN-G) could improve clinical manifestations of patients with UA, but there is lack of rigorous proof of evidence-based medicine.

Methods: We retrospectively recruited 650 ACLF patients in this study.
Background And Aims: Currently, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) has been defined differently by Asia-Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) and Chinese Medical Association (CMA) in the East, as well as EASL-Chronic Liver Failure (EASL-CLIF) Consortium in the West. This study aimed to compare current different diagnostic criteria for ACLF and to determine predictors of the progression into post-enrollment EASL-CLIF ACLF from ACLF at enrollment defined by APASL alone or by both APASL and CMA but not by EASL-CLIF Consortium.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 394 eligible cirrhotic patients fulfilling at least APASL criteria for ACLF at enrollment.
