Background and aim The natural progression of liver fibrosis and its association with biomarker changes have not been fully established in the literature. This study aimed to investigate liver fibrosis progression in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection using a novel machine learning tool called 'Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn).' SuStaIn can identify disease progression patterns and subgroups from cross-sectional biomarker data.

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by irreversible airflow limitation and systemic immune impacts. COPD patients demonstrate an increased susceptibility to sepsis and septic shock, underscoring the importance of understanding its effects on splenic function.
Methods: A rat COPD model was established using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cigarette smoke exposure.

Background: Although imipenem/cilastatin (IMI/CIL) has demonstrated favorable therapeutic efficacy against various infections, the incidence of potential adverse events (AEs) has escalated in parallel with its increased utilization and has been documented in clinical trials. However, a comprehensive understanding of real-world implications remains lacking.
Methods: By conducting a comprehensive search in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, AE reports associated with IMI/CIL as the primary suspect (PS) were selected for analysis, spanning from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2023.

In this study, epicatechin gallate (ECG), a natural anti-inflammatory agent, was conjugated onto dialdehyde starch (DAS) to achieve high physiological stability. The anti-inflammatory effect of DAS-ECG conjugate was evaluated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice models.
