Establishing a predictive nomogram for 21‑day transplant-free survival in drug-induced liver failure.

Background: The high prevalence of drug-induced liver failure (DILF) have drawn great attention from clinicians.

Aim: To further delineate the clinical features of DILF and develop an easily applicable nomogram, based on readily-discernable clinical data, to predict transplant-free survival (TFS) at different time points.

Methods: 202 DILF patients were enrolled between January 2016 and December 2022, and were followed up from DILF diagnosis to death, liver transplantation, or 91 days afterward, whichever came first.

Avicularin alleviates acute liver failure by regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 pathways to reduce inflammation and ferroptosis.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is an inflammation-mediated hepatocyte death process associated with ferroptosis. Avicularin (AL), a Chinese herbal medicine, exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. However, the protective effect of AL and the mechanism on ALF have not been reported.

Higher serum uric acid to HDL-cholesterol ratio is associated with onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a non-obese Chinese population with normal blood lipid levels.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of associations between metabolic syndrome and the onset of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Metabolic syndrome, in turn, has been found to be linked to high serum uric acid to HDL-cholesterol ratios (UHR). However, the relationship between UHR values and the occurrence of NAFLD in non-obese individuals remains unknown.

The effects of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor on chronic liver disease: a meta-analysis.

Introduction: The clinical application of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor on chronic liver disease is still controversial. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor on chronic liver disease.

Methodology: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Chinese Biomedical Literature database.
