Spontaneous Fluctuations in Liver Biochemistries in Patients with Compensated NASH Cirrhosis: Implications for Drug Hepatotoxicity Monitoring.
Patients with cirrhosis may have spontaneous fluctuations in liver enzymes, which may confound detection of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), but these fluctuations have not been described.. We sought to quantify spontaneous liver enzyme abnormalities in patients with cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) enrolled in clinical trials.. We examined the laboratory values of patients with compensated cirrhosis randomized to placebo in two clinical trials for NASH. Patients in one study were followed every 13 weeks up to week 57; patients in the other study were followed every 4 weeks up to week 120.. In total, 53 and 85 patients were randomized to placebo in the trials. Baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was greater than the laboratory upper limit of normal (ULN) in 53% and 49% of participants, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was > ULN in 49% and 59%, alkaline phosphatase was > ULN in 36% and 27%, and bilirubin was >ULN in 13% and 19%. During follow-up, ALT increased to 2× baseline in 8% and 15%, AST increased to 2× baseline in 6% and 21%, and bilirubin increased to 2× baseline in 9% and 18%. Alkaline phosphatase did not increase to 2× baseline for any patient. The maximum ALT was 3× ULN in 9% and 12%. ALT increased to 3× baseline in three patients and to 5× ULN in two patients. No patients had elevations consistent with Hy's law. The maximum ALT for patients with abnormal baseline values was higher [median 48 U/L (range 34-299) and 56 U/L (47-85)] than for those with normal baseline values [median 26.5 U/L (range 18-33) and 29 U/L (25.5-30.5)] in both studies, respectively, with p < 0.001.. Spontaneous liver enzyme abnormalities are common in patients with NASH cirrhosis in clinical trials, and these abnormalities rarely met criteria for DILI suspicion. Further work to better define these abnormalities and continued vigilance to detect DILI in this population is needed.

The constitutional isomers and tautomers of oxadiazolones, as well as their mono- and disulfur analogues, were calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. Four groups of 30 molecules each were considered: oxadiazolone, oxadiazolthione, thiadiazolone, and thiadiazolthione isomers. The compounds were categorized into six groups according to permutations of three heteroatoms in the five-membered ring. Additionally, each of the constitutional isomer was considered to have five tautomers conserving stable five-membered ring: two NH tautomers, two rotameric OH (or SH) forms and one CH. La trombocitosis es un hallazgo casual frecuente en pediatría. En niños, predominan las formas secundarias, siendo las infecciones su causa más prevalente. Se distinguen 4 grados de trombocitosis en función del número de plaquetas; en la forma extrema, se supera el 1.000.000/mm. Endoscopic thrombin injection was similar to glue injection in achieving successful hemostasis of AGVH. However, a higher incidence of complications may be associated with glue injection.

Novel B melatonin-loaded chitosan microcapsules: in vitro characterization and antiapoptosis efficacy for aflatoxin B1-induced apoptosis in rat liver.
The aim of this study was to prepare buoyant (B) melatonin (MT)-loaded chitosan microcapsules having favourable sustained release characteristics (in simulated gastric fluid (SGF), pH 1.2) in comparison with non-buoyant (NB) chitosan particles. The new buoyant microcapsules were prepared by the ionotropic gelation method using sodium lauryl sulfate (NaLS) for coagulation. The microcapsule characteristics were affected by the initial drug and NaLS concentrations, as well as the presence of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DOS) or pectin with NaLS in the external phase. In general, spherical microcapsules with 36.90-56.23% encapsulation efficiencies, hollow core and satisfactory release properties were produced. The best sustained release profiles (t(50%): 5h) with near zero-order kinetics were observed with the higher theoretical payload microcapsules prepared with both NaLS and DOS in a 1:2 ratio. In vivo studies were also carried out to exploit the protective effect of the MT-loaded NaLS-DOS microcapsules against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced toxicity (liver apoptosis) in male rats. The results implied that apoptotic rate was significantly reduced when MT or its microcapsules formulation was co-administered with AFB1. The levels of the oxidative stress indices (malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation product and nitric oxide (NO)) in liver tissues were significantly reduced, while the levels of the hepatic antioxidants (glutathione (GSH) and zinc (Zn), as well as the enzyme activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GSPx) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)) which act as antiapoptosis were significantly increased as compared to AFB1 group (without MT). MT microcapsules appeared more effective in reduction of apoptotic rate than free MT as indicated by the decline of caspase-3 activities (an apoptotic marker) and confirmed by histopathology.
