Realizing the early diagnosis of acute liver injury has become a hotspot in recent years. Since the current indexes are not specific, developing novel probes with new recognition group remains a necessity. In this work, we developed a novel fluorescent probe, NNP, for the detection of ONOO in acute liver injury (ALI). The in vitro evaluation of NNP indicated the advantages including high sensitivity (LOD = 0.13 μM), rapid response (<25 s), naked-eye (red to yellow), and stability under various pH (4-10) and time (>48 h) conditions. Accordingly, NNP achieved the dose-dependent detection of ONOO in human hepatic stellate LX-2 cells. Further, in the ALI model mice, NNP could monitor the ONOO level in the occurrence of ALI in situ (in the liver region) with a steady performance. Subsequent immunohistochemical and imaging studies confirmed that NNP could achieve the detection of endogenous ONOO in ALI liver tissues. This work introduced a practical implement for the ONOO detection in ALI as well as a referable example for the establishment of molecular indexes in pre-clinical diagnosis.

Organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) are widely used chemical pesticides in all the developed countries. Among the OPPs, Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is predominantly used and has been linked to various adverse health effects from acute to chronic exposure. Exposure to pesticides both occupationally and environmentally causes frequent human health problems including neurological disorders, liver, kidney dysfunctions and cancer.

Purpose: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a severe complication that can occur in the third trimester or immediately postpartum, characterized by rapid hepatic failure. This study aims to explore the changes in portal vein blood flow velocity and liver function during pregnancy, which may assist in the early diagnosis and management of AFLP.

Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted at a tertiary healthcare center with participants recruited from routine antenatal check-ups.

Case Summary: is a globally distributed apicomplexan protozoan infecting all warm-blooded animals. Cats are the definitive host, susceptible to clinical disease. In Spain, studies have shown the widespread presence of IgG antibodies in cats but there are no published data on clinical toxoplasmosis in cats from Spain.

Although herpes simplex virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are known causes of severe acute liver injury with or without liver failure, these diseases occur almost exclusively in immunocompromised and elderly patients. We report a case of an immunocompetent young man with no medical history who presented with a subacute cough and persistent fevers in the setting of a penile chancre. He was found to have severely elevated liver chemistries and was subsequently diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis because of disseminated herpes simplex virus type 1 and Epstein-Barr virus coinfection.

The circadian cycle is a fundamental biological rhythm that governs many physiological functions across nearly all living organisms. In the gastrointestinal tract, activities such as gut motility, hormone synthesis, and communication between the gut, central nervous system and microbiome all fluctuate in alignment with the circadian cycle. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is critical for co-ordinating many of these activities, however, how its activity is governed by the circadian cycle remains unknown.
