Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome is often associated with preeclampsia or hypertension in pregnancy. Pregnancy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be complicated by development of a lupus flare with thrombocytopenia, hypertension and renal insufficiency, which may be difficult to distinguish from preeclampsia. We describe a 20-year-old patient with SLE and anticardiolipin antibodies who developed a HELLP-like syndrome during 2 successive pregnancies without the more typical symptoms of preeclampsia or hypertension. This unusual presentation of HELLP syndrome during pregnancy in a patient with SLE was evidenced by hematologic and liver enzyme abnormalities as a sign of ongoing hepatic necrosis. Early recognition of this syndrome is important because it may result in rapid deterioration with progressive hepatic necrosis that can be reversible with early termination of pregnancy.

Unlabelled: Hazardous heavy metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), are widely distributed in the environment and cause oxidative stress in various animal and human organs. Clove oil (CLO), a common aromatic spice, has been used as a traditional medication as it has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hepatoprotective properties.
Background/objectives: This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and anti-inflammatory effects of clove oil (CLO) against hepatorenal toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd).
Visceral Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Vascular Complications in a Rat Model with Severe Dyslipidemia: Sex Differences and PAI-1 Tissue Involvement.

We investigated the sex-dependent effects of inflammatory responses in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), as well as hematological status, in relation to cardiovascular disorders associated with prediabetes. Using male and female hereditary hypertriglyceridemic (HHTg) rats-a nonobese prediabetic model featuring dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance-we found that HHTg females exhibited more pronounced hypertriglyceridemia than males, while HHTg males had higher non-fasting glucose levels. Additionally, HHTg females had higher platelet counts, larger platelet volumes, and lower antithrombin inhibitory activity.

Europinidin is a novel anthocyanidin found in the petals of Plumbago europea that exhibits several physiological effects. Research was conducted to assess europinidin's cardioprotective efficacy in a diabetic and myocardial infarction (MI) experimental model. Rat was injected through the intraperitoneal administration of 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ), while MI was induced by subcutaneously administering 85 mg/kg of isoproterenol (ISP) at 24 and 48 h prior to the sacrifice procedure.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is a commonly utilized antipyretic and analgesic drug. Overdose of APAP is a primary contributor to drug-induced liver injury and acute liver failure (ALF). SW033291 has been shown to play a role in tissue regeneration in various diseases; however, its potential to facilitate liver regeneration following APAP-induced hepatic injury remains unexamined.
