Background: Excessive inflammation in sepsis causes microvascular dysfunction associated with organ dysfunction and high mortality. The present studies aimed to examine the therapeutic potential of linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor in a clinically relevant polymicrobial sepsis model in mice.
Methods: Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by high-grade inflammation and multi-organ failure. Our previous study shows that targeting the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2) to inhibit macrophage inflammation may be a promising strategy for ALF treatment. however, the mechanism by which PKM2 regulates the inflammatory response is unclear.

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an uncommon systemic inflammatory disorder that presents with diverse, overlapping symptoms, complicating the diagnostic process due to its nonspecific clinical features and the absence of a definitive diagnostic test. Diagnosis is often challenging and relies on excluding other conditions while maintaining a high index of suspicion, supported by specific diagnostic criteria such as Yamaguchi or Fautrel. Prompt recognition and a multidisciplinary approach are essential, as AOSD can progress to life-threatening multiorgan dysfunction due to a hyperinflammatory response.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome of multiorgan failure caused by dysregulation of the host response to infection and is a major cause of death in critically ill patients. In recent years, with the continuous development of sequencing technology, the intestinal microecology of this disease has been increasingly studied. The gut microbiota plays a host-protective role mainly through the maintenance of normal immune function and the intestinal barrier.

Background And Aims: Alcohol abuse is the most frequent precipitating factor of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). We aimed at developing an alcohol-induced ACLF model and dissecting its underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: ACLF was triggered by a single alcohol binge (5g/Kg) in a bile duct ligation (BDL) liver fibrosis murine model.
