Yin-chen Wu-ling powder alleviate cholestatic liver disease: Network pharmacological analysis and experimental validation.

Background: Yin-chen Wu-ling Powder (YWP) has potential therapeutic effects on cholestatic liver disease (CLD), however, its active compounds and conceivable mechanism are as yet indistinct.

Methods: The network pharmacology and gene function annotation examined the multiple active ingredients, potential targets, and possible mechanisms of YWP in CLD treatment. Then the molecular docking reassured the reliability of the core compounds including the key genes and farnesoid X receptor (FXR).

Application of herbs and active ingredients ameliorate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global health problem, and its prevalence has been on the rise in recent years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) contains a wealth of therapeutic resources and has been in use for thousands of years regarding the prevention of liver disease and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of NAFLD in China. but the molecular mechanisms behind it have not been elucidated.

Ganji Formulation for Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Have Undergone Surgery: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial.

To ascertain the efficacy and safety of Ganji Formulation (GF) for patients with Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had undergone surgery. A total of 262 HCC patients who had undergone liver resection, local ablation, or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) were divided randomly into the treatment group and control group. The former was treated with GF and the later with placebo, both for 6 months.

Simple and Efficient Chromophoric-Fluorogenic Probes for Diethylchlorophosphate Vapor.

In this work, we developed two small-molecule probes for real-time and onsite detecting of diethylchlorophosphate (DCP) vapor by incorporating amine groups into Schiff base skeletons. Both probes can be easily synthesized with high yield through one-step and low-cost synthesis. They can detect DCP vapor in the chromophoric-fluorogenic dual mode, which combines both the advantages of the visualization of color sensing and the high sensitivity of the fluorescence sensing.

Metabolic modulation of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity by osteopontin.

Induction of osteopontin (OPN), a well-known pro-inflammatory molecule, has been observed in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity. However, the precise cell source for OPN induction and its role during APAP-induced hepatotoxicity has not been fully explored. By employing a hepatotoxic mouse model induced by APAP overdose, we demonstrate that both serum and hepatic OPN levels were significantly elevated in response to APAP treatment.
