Infliximab (IFX) is a chimeric human-murine monoclonal antibody that prevents tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) activation by binding to both soluble and transmembrane forms of TNF-α. Antagonists of TNF (anti-TNF agents) can cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI). We present a non-anti-TNF naïve patient suffering from severe Crohn's disease who developed DILI with a hepatocellular pattern, without jaundice, after two infusions of an IFX biosimilar.

Immunotherapy-induced hepatitis is a well-known and relatively common side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. It is usually mild to moderate and responds well to corticosteroids with a full recovery. However, in rare cases, severe liver injury may develop, leading to fulminant liver failure.

Purpose: Tacrolimus could induce hepatotoxicity during clinical use, and the mechanism was still unclear, which posed new challenge for the prevention and treatment of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity and provide reference for drug development target.
Methods: In this study, biochemical analysis, pathological staining, immunofluorescent staining, immunohistochemical staining, transcriptomic analysis, Western blotting was used to investigate the mechanism of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity in gene knockout mice and Wistar rats.

Article Synopsis
- Chemiluminescence (CL) is a chemical reaction that produces light without needing external energy sources, offering advantages in sensitivity and imaging.
- Researchers developed a series of unimolecular probes that emit light in the near-infrared (NIR-II) range for better imaging, specifically targeting wavelengths up to 1060 nm.
- The study successfully demonstrated these probes for real-time detection of superoxide anions in a mouse model of liver injury, highlighting their potential for advanced bioimaging and disease diagnosis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important and common adverse drug event. Rhododendron molle Flos (RMF), as one of toxic Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), holds a prominent position in clinical practice for treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, the toxicity of RMF limits its safe.
