Aim And Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silymarin in improving liver function and reducing liver stiffness in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. Silymarin, a hepatoprotective agent, has shown potential benefits in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis, but evidence in CLD with varied etiologies remains limited. This study addresses the gap by assessing its impact across diverse etiological subgroups.

Renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common form of acute kidney injury. The basic mechanism underlying renal IRI is acute inflammation, where oxidative stress plays an important role. Although bilirubin exhibits potent reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging properties, its clinical application is hindered by problems associated with solubility, stability, and toxicity.

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) play a crucial role in regulating the pathophysiological progression of chronic liver disease through hepatic cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2). According to the literature, various treatment options are available for liver disease patients, including transplantation and physical activity both before and after the procedure. The aim of this study is to assess the response of endocannabinoids to pre- and post-therapeutic exercises in liver transplant patients (LTx).

Objective: To develop a nomogram model based on the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score for predicting the 90-day prognosis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and to evaluate its predictive efficacy.
Methods: Clinical data of 290 ACLF patients at the Third People's Hospital of Nantong City, collected from December 2020 to December 2023, were analyzed. The data were divided into a training set ( = 200) and a validation set ( = 90), with August 2022 as the cut-off date.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening disease associated with a high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for the exploration of novel models to predict the prognosis of this patient population. This study compared the performance of traditional logistic regression and machine learning models in predicting adult sepsis mortality.
Objective: To develop an optimum model for predicting the mortality of adult sepsis patients based on comparing traditional logistic regression and machine learning methodology.
