Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a type I interleukin 2 family cytokine composed of four short-chain α-helix bundles and has homology with interleukin-7. TSLP plays an important role in many allergic diseases or autoimmune diseases, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and inflammatory bowel disease, and promotes the development of these diseases. At present, there are some reports on TSLP in liver diseases, and some studies showed that it can promote the development and progression of liver diseases, while others showed that it plays a protective role in liver diseases. This article reviews the molecular composition and biological features of TSLP and the role of TSLP in benign liver diseases and liver tumors and elaborates on the research advances in TSLP in liver diseases.

Acetaminophen (APAP) is the most common antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug, but its overdose often leads to acute liver injury, even acute liver failure, and death in some severe cases. At present, there is still a lack of specific treatments. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signal pathway is one of the potential therapeutic targets identified in recent years in overdose APAP-induced acute liver injury. This article reviews the JNK signaling pathway of APAP in liver metabolism, the activation of JNK signaling pathway and the amplification of oxidative stress, other pathways or cellular processes related to JNK signaling pathway, and the possible challenges of drugs targeting JNK, so as to provide direction and feasibility analysis for further research and clinical application of JNK signaling pathway targets in APAP hepatotoxicity, and to provide reference for searching for other targets.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe postoperative analgesia and preemptive analgesia of Tramadol hydrochloride sustained release tablets for nasal endoscopic operation.
METHOD:
A total of 188 patients undergoing nasal endoscopic operation were randomized into the experimental group and control group, with 94 patients in each group. Each patient in experimental group was gaved on Tramadol hydrochloride sustained release tablets at 12h, 24h, 48h, postoperation and before the cleaning up procession respectively, the control group was not administered. VAS scores were observed at 12, 24, and 48 hours after operation. The discomfort reaction during postoperation and cleaning up procession such as insomnia, impatien, nervous, frightening, syncope and shock were also observed and recorded.
RESULT:
Visuala analogue scale scores of the experimental groups after 12, 24 hours and 48h were significantly lower than the control group. The discomfort reaction appear more frequently in control group.
CONCLUSION
Tramadol hydrochloride sustained release tablets effectively relieves postoperative pain of nasal endoscopic operation. It can also decrease the discomfort reaction during postoperation and cleaning up procession and facilitate recovering of patients.
