Twenty two patients of subacute hepatic failure (SAHF), diagnosed when jaundice progressed for more than 8 weeks with appearance of ascites, with or without encephalopathy, along with biochemical evidence of hepatocellular damage, were studied. The male and female ratio was 4.5:1 and majority (45.4%) of cases were between the age group of 41-50. The mean biochemical values were: S.bilirubin; 9.2 +/- 3.8 mg/dl SGOT; 94.4 +/- 25.0 I.U./lit., SGPT; 107.8 +/- 32.7 I.U./lit., S.Protein; 5.2 +/- 3.5 secs. Ascitic fluid analysis showed transudate in 16 (72.7%) and exudate in 6 (27.2%) patients. Bacterial peritonitis was found in 5 (22.7%) patients. Liver biopsy showed bridging and submassive necrosis. The complications developed in the hospital were: renal failure (36.3%), infection (27.2%), G.I. bleeding (18.1%) and encephalopathy (13.6%). The mortality was (86.3%). Out of 3 (13.6%) patients who survived, only two recovered completely and one had biochemical evidence of hepatocellular necrosis after 6 months of follow up.

Rupture of a hydatid cyst can lead to the development of a disseminated form of intra-abdominal cystic echinococcosis if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Anaphylactic shock is a definite indication of cyst rupture. The presented clinical case was a young athlete with a disseminated form of cystic echinococcosis, which was investigated in 2023 at the Syzganov National Scientific Center for Surgery of Kazakhstan.

Copper sulfide nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized through biomineralization have significant commercial potential as photothermal agents, while the safety evaluation of these NPs, especially for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), remains insufficient. To explore the differential hepatotoxicity of copper sulfide NPs in NAFL conditions, we synthesized large-sized (LNPs, 15.1 nm) and small-sized (SNPs, 3.

Currently, the hepatoprotective activity of taxifolin, a flavonoid isolated from Pseudotsuga taxifolia, has been reported in many animal models. However, whether the protective effect of taxifolin on the liver is related to its effect on lipidomics is unclear. Based on the significant therapeutic effect of taxifolin on CCl induced subacute hepatic injury, we observed the intervention of taxifolin by lipidomics.
