The aim of this work was to analyze the prevalence of level function disorder in patients with atrial fibrillation taking constantly amiodarone. Two groups of patients were studied: in group 1 (n = 78) patients with persistent atrial fibrillation taking constantly amiodarone for rhythm control were included, group 2 (n = 67) consisted of patients with permanent atrial fibrillation taking propafenon, ethacizine and digoxin for rate control. In studied groups liver transaminase activity and data of liver echography after 90 +/- 8 days of treatment were estimated. In 51.58% patients of group 1 asymptomatic increase of liver transaminase activity was found. If liver transaminase activity had been raised before taking amiodarone, frequency and degree of liver transaminase increase extended. Consequently, patients taking constantly amiodarone, require dynamic control of GGTP, AIAT, AsAT once a quarter. If liver transaminase activity increases because of amiodarone taking the method of treatment is possible to be changed and rate control therapy may be chosen.

Background: Methylcinnamate (MC), a safe flavoring agent naturally found in Occimum basilicum L. is reported to have an anti-inflammatory responses in various disease models. Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity is a significant contributor to acute liver injury, which leads to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune disease accompanied by an autoimmune inflammatory response that often leads to severe liver damage. In addition, it may further lead to complications such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. Dihydromyricetin (DHM) possesses various pharmacological properties, such as being anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial.

Objective: it was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin-eluting stents at different doses in the treatment of coronary artery narrowing in miniature pigs.
Methods: a total of 20 miniature pigs were randomly assigned into four groups: S1 group (low-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 55 µg/mm), S2 group (medium-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 120 µg/mm), S3 group (high-dose rapamycin-coated stent, 415 µg/mm), and D0 group (bare metal stent). The stent size was 3.
