Characterization of drug-induced liver injury associated with drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms in two prospective DILI registries
Arch Toxicol. 2023 Dec 5. doi: 10.1007/s00204-023-03630-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIdiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) associated with drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is poorly characterized among patients of Western countries. We aimed to comprehensively assess the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and causative agents in a prospective, well-vetted cohort of DILI patients with DRESS (DILI-DRESS). We identified 53 DILI-DRESS cases from the Spanish DILI Registry and the Latin American DILI Network. For comparison purposes, we defined a group of DILI patients (n = 881). DILI-...

GSE189228 Establishment of a 3D hyperuricemia model based on cultured human liver organoids
Contributors : Maojin Yao ; Jiaoyan Ren ; Chuanli Hou ; Yang HuSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensHyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism, the prevalence of which has increased worldwide. Here, a 3D organoid culture system for mimicking HUA in vitro was established using cultured human liver organoids. Liver organoids can be generated from single hepatocytes and passaged for several months, retaining key morphological features, functional purine metabolism and global gene expression profile. Furthermore, organoids can be differe...

Celebrating Versatility: Febuxostat's Multifaceted Therapeutic Application
Life (Basel). 2023 Nov 11;13(11):2199. doi: 10.3390/life13112199.ABSTRACTFebuxostat, initially developed as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor to address hyperuricemia in gout patients, has evolved into a versatile therapeutic agent with multifaceted applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of febuxostat's mechanism of action, its effectiveness in gout management, its cardiovascular safety profile, renal and hepatic effects, musculoskeletal applications, safety considerations, and emerging research prospects. Febuxostat's primary mechanism involves selective inhibition of xanthine oxidase, resulting in reduced...

Cutaneous adverse drug reactions
Therapie. 2023 Oct 31:S0040-5957(23)00175-0. doi: 10.1016/j.therap.2023.09.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCutaneous adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represent a heterogeneous field including various clinical patterns without specific features suggesting drug causality. Maculopapular exanthema and urticaria are the most common types of cutaneous ADR. Serious cutaneous ADRs, which may cause permanent sequelae or have fatal outcome, may represent 2% of all cutaneous ADR and must be quickly identified to guide their management. These serious reactions include bullous manifestations (epidermal necrolysis i.e. Stevens-Johnson s...
