To test the clinical efficacy of fructose intravenously for acute alcoholism, 20 acutely intoxicated patients were treated in a randomized, double blind fashion with 1000 cc of 10% fructose and 10% glucose over two hours. In the first hour of infusion, fructose was significantly superior to glucose (p less than 0.05) in improving the mental and neuromuscular status of the most impaired patients. Although no side effects were observed and no patient developed metabolic acidosis, the study suggests an awareness of a potential for acidosis during the use of intravenous fractose therapy.

Purpose: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) are metabolic diseases with rising incidence. Fatty infiltration may lead to dysfunction of the liver and pancreatic tissues. This study aims to quantify liver and pancreatic fat fractions and examine their correlation with disease severity in acute pancreatitis patients.

Objective: Global per capita alcohol consumption is increasing, posing significant socioeconomic and medical challenges also due to alcohol-related traumatic injuries but also its biological effects. Trauma as a leading cause of death in young adults, is often associated with an increased risk of complications, such as sepsis and multiple organ failure, due to immunological imbalances. Regulatory T cells play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis by regulating the inflammatory response.

Alpha-Glutathione-S-transferase (alphaGST) is a liver enzyme whose serum levels increase with the worsening of fibrosis in alcoholic and viral chronic hepatitis. Its usefulness in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) remains unexplored. From January 2016 to December 2017, 200 patients with MASLD and 30 controls were enrolled.

Acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) remains a significant global health concern, primarily driven by oxidative stress. This study investigated the protective mechanisms of BC99 against alcohol-induced oxidative stress using a dual model in rats and Caenorhabditis elegans. In rats, excessive alcohol was predominantly metabolized via the CYP2E1 pathway, leading to severe oxidative stress.

This study investigated the protective effect of Dai Bai Jie (DBJ) extract against acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) and elucidated its potential mechanism. The total saponin level in the DBJ extracts was measured using vanillin-chloroform acid colorimetry. To observe the preventive and protective effects of DBJ on AML-12 cells in an ethanol environment, the effective components of DBJ were identified.
