This invention discloses a polyethylene glycol-modified magnesium boride nanosheet and its application in treating acute liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy caused by acetaminophen. The nanosheet uses magnesium boride nanosheets as a core, with polyethylene glycol modified on the surface to improve biocompatibility. The nanosheet of this invention exhibits good antioxidant properties and can be used to prepare nanomedicines for treating acute liver failure and / or hepatic encephalopathy caused by acetaminophen. It generates reducing hydrogen gas through a hydrolysis reaction, effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species at the site of liver failure, thereby inhibiting inflammatory responses and effectively alleviating symptoms caused by acute liver failure.

The application belongs to the technical field of biological detection, and particularly relates to the use of apolipoprotein A-I in the preparation of a diagnostic reagent or system for predicting the risk of severe acute hepatitis E. The application first discloses and verifies the significant correlation between the serum apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) level and the adverse clinical outcomes (including severe jaundice, liver failure and death) of patients with acute hepatitis E, and establishes the risk interpretation threshold (0.675 g / L and 0.435 g / L) with clinical practical value. The application can objectively and early identify high-risk patients, and provides a powerful auxiliary tool for clinical stratified management and resource optimization.

Subject matter of the present invention is an angiotensin-receptor-agonist and / or a precursor thereof for use in the treatment of a disease in a subject, • wherein said disease is selected from the group comprising heart failure, chronic heart failure, acute heart failure (AHF), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, liver failure, burn injuries, traumatic injuries, severe infection (microbial, viral (e.g. AIDS), parasitic diseases (e.g. Malaria)), SIRS or sepsis, cancer, acute kidney injury (AKI), CNS disorders (e.g. seizures, neurodegenerative diseases), autoimmune diseases, vascular diseases, hypotension and shock, and • wherein said subject has an amount of DPP3 protein and / or DPP3 activity in a sample of bodily fluid that is above a predetermined threshold.

This invention discloses the application of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 and its inhibitors in liver diseases, particularly acute liver injury and liver failure. The application of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 and its inhibitors in acute liver injury and liver failure provides the correlation between β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 and acute liver injury and liver failure, confirming that inhibiting the activity of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 can alleviate acute liver injury and liver failure. β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 can serve as a drug target for screening acute and chronic hepatitis, liver injury, fatty liver, liver fibrosis, and acute and chronic liver failure. This invention also confirms the alleviating effect of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 inhibitors on acute liver failure. β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1 inhibitors improve acute liver failure by reducing the enzyme activity or protein expression of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 1.

A lipid-containing composition, by weight, includes phospholipids, and one or more of vegetable oil, medium-chain triglycerides, antioxidants, and sodium oleate. It has been verified that the various compositions provided by this invention competitively capture protein-bound toxoids in the blood, thereby achieving the purpose of clearing protein-bound toxoids from the blood, especially for patients with liver failure, and also alleviating oxidative stress in patients during dialysis treatment.

The invention relates to compounds for use in the treatment of liver failure.

The application relates to the field of biological medicine, and discloses a use of indole-3-propionic acid in preparation of a medicine for preventing and treating acute-on-chronic liver failure. Experiments prove that the indole-3-propionic acid can effectively inhibit the formation of neutrophil-related extracellular traps, reduce the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin and inflammatory factors TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta related to acute-on-chronic liver failure, reduce liver tissue necrosis and inflammatory infiltration, and improve the survival rate. Therefore, the indole-3-propionic acid can be used for preparing a medicine for preventing and / or treating acute-on-chronic liver failure, and provides a new small-molecule intervention strategy for acute-on-chronic liver failure.
