Developing convenient γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity detection methods is of great significance for soaking Laba garlic and human diseases detection. A dual-site fluorescent probe (probe 1) was developed for detection the activity of GGT. Probe 1 could recognize GGT by the enzymatic hydrolysis of peptide bond by GGT. There has a linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity of probe 1 at 416 nm and the activity of GGT. And the color of the probe solution gradually changed from colorless to blue with the increase of GGT activity under 365 nm ultraviolet light. Importantly, it has a linear relationship between the activity of GGT and the blue (B) value of probe solution photo. Therefore, probes can serve as a convenient tool for detecting GGT activity. More importantly, the probe has been successfully applied to detect of GGT activity in garlic.

Background: Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, developed by the American Heart Association, assesses cardiovascular health using eight components: diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Liver function is a critical indicator of overall health, with impairments linked to numerous chronic diseases. While the LE8 score has been extensively studied in relation to cardiovascular outcomes, its association with liver function remains underexplored.

Bromoxynil (BML) is a toxic herbicide that is reported to cause various organ toxicities. However, there is not a single investigation conducted to elucidate the adverse impacts of BML on hepatic tissues at different dose concentrations. Therefore, the current investigation was planned to assess the deleterious effects of BML on liver against different dose concentrations.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of Sjögren's syndrome-associated autoimmune liver disease (SS-ALD) patients and identify potential risk and prognostic factors.
Methods: SS patients with or without ALD, who visited Tongji Hospital between the years 2011 and 2021 and met the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome, were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data of the enrolled patients, including autoimmune antibodies, were collected and analyzed with principal component analysis, correlation analysis, LASSO regression, and Cox regression.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a syndrome that arises from acute or chronic liver failure. This study was devised to assess the impact of a combination of boswellic acid (BA) and low doses of gamma radiation (LDR) on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced HE in an animal model. The effect of daily BA treatment (175 mg/kg body weight, for four weeks) and/or fractionated low-dose γ-radiation (LDR; 0.
