Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition of the respiratory system, associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of tocilizumab (TZ), an IL-6 receptor inhibitor, in mitigating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by modulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. An ALI model was established using LPS induction.

Objective: The occurrence of hypofibrinogenemia after tocilizumab treatment has attracted increasing attention, which may cause bleeding and even life-threatening. This study aims to explore the risk factors for tocilizumab-induced hypofibrinogenemia (T-HFIB) and construct a risk prediction model.
Methods: A total of 221 inpatients that received tocilizumab from 2015 to 2023 were retrospectively collected and divided into T-HFIB group or control group.

Background: Dermal and pulmonary fibrosis are the main clinical symptoms of systemic scleroderma (SSc), for which there are no effective therapeutic agents. Tocilizumab is thought to improve the symptoms of fibrosis, but the effect of tocilizumab on dermal fibrosis has not been explored. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of tocilizumab on skin fibrosis by inhibiting CD38 macrophages in the bleomycin-induced SSc mice model.
