Tislelizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, is associated with immune-related hepatitis in 1.8% of cases, but reports of acute liver failure (ALF) remain exceedingly rare. We present a case of fulminant hepatitis and ALF following Tislelizumab therapy in a 55-year-old woman with locally advanced cervical adenocarcinoma. After three cycles of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and Tislelizumab, she developed grade 4 immune-mediated hepatitis and ALF following a fourth Tislelizumab dose, marked by severe transaminitis (AST 5329 U/L, ALT 2384 U/L), coagulopathy (INR 5.85), hyperbilirubinemia (TBIL 56.99 IU/L), and hepatic encephalopathy. Management included plasma exchange, continuous hemofiltration, high-dose corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents. Despite aggressive intervention, the patient's condition deteriorated, underscoring the rapid progression of Tislelizumab-induced hepatotoxicity. This case highlights the critical need for vigilant monitoring of high-risk patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors and early intervention for suspected immune-mediated liver injury.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver cirrhosis represents a significant clinical challenge with high mortality rates. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for 28-day mortality in AKI patients with liver cirrhosis using the MIMIC-IV database.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 4,168 AKI patients, including 601 with concurrent liver cirrhosis, from the MIMIC-IV database.

Acute or chronic liver damage can result in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a potentially fatal neuropsychiatric condition that leads to cerebral and neurological alterations. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), an orally active Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with long duration of action. The study aim was to evaluate the potential protective impact of DAPA against HE caused by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats.

Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.
Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.
Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that serum uric acid (UA) levels are significantly higher in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) than in patients with depressive disorder (DD), schizophrenia, and healthy controls. Currently, studies generally report that there is a complex bidirectional interaction between mood disorders (MD) and hyperuricemia (HUA). We investigated the prevalence and related factors of hyperuricemia in Chinese patients with mood disorders to find out potential mechanisms and build a predictive model.
