N-acetyl-p-aminophenol （APAP） is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice， and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years， the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury （AILI） tends to increase， and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI， involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates， oxidative stress， JNK activation， mitochondrial dysfunction， inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI， in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

Liver diseases have a high prevalence rate worldwide with relatively poor long-term clinical outcomes and have become one of the leading causes of disease burden and death around the world,which poses significant challenges to public health.Eosinophils(Eos)are a class of highly conserved multifunctional immune cells that play critical effector roles in allergic diseases.In recent years,an increasing amount of evidence has shown that Eos plays an important role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases,exerting a protective or harmful effect in different liver diseases,which has become a research hotspot in this field.This article elaborates on the role and potential mechanism of action of Eos in liver diseases,in order to provide a new perspective for in-depth research on the pathogenesis of liver diseases and lay the foundation for developing therapeutic strategies targeting Eos.

Objective:To assess the prognostic impact of the thoracic aorta and aortic valve calcification volume (TAC, AVC) score based on CT measurementsin patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients who underwent TAVI for severe aortic stenosis from March 2018 to April 2022 at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital. The patients were stratified into low TAC and AVC group (TAC low, AVC low) and high TAC and AVC group (TAC high, AVC high) based on median TAC and AVC. The independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of TAVI patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression, and the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of TAVI were analyzed by survival curve. Results:A total of 102 patients were included with a median follow-up of 695 (602, 923) days, during which 9 (8.8%) all-cause deaths and 33 (32.4%) composite end-point events occurred. Univariate Cox risk regression analysis found that TAC was a risk factor for all-cause mortality events in TAVI patients ( P=0.039), TAC and AVC were risk factors for composite endpoint events in TAVI patients ( P=0.047, 0.035).TAC was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality after TAVI in multivariate analysis ( HR=8.971, 95% CI 1.121-71.790, P=0.039), and TAC and AVC were independent risk factors for composite endpoint events after TAVI ( HR=2.243, 95% CI 1.099-4.578, P=0.026; HR=2.346, 95% CI 1.146-4.804, P=0.020). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that high TAC and AVC scores increased the risk of end-point events ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CT-quantified TAC and AVC volume scores are independent prognostic markers in TAVI patients, with greater calcification burden portending poorer clinical outcomes.

Autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)is a type of chronic hepatitis caused by the attack of hepatocytes by the autoimmune system,and with the prolongation of disease course,it may gradually progress to liver cirrhosis and even hepatocellular carcinoma.Although great achievements have been made in the understanding and treatment of AIH,its etiology and pathogenesis still remain unclear.T cells play a crucial role in the development and progression of AIH,and by focusing on follicular helper T cells,this article elaborates on the research advances in follicular helper T cells in AIH,in order to provide new ideas and strategies for the clinical treatment of AIH.

Autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)is chronic hepatitis caused by the attack of live cells by the immune system,and at present,the pathogenesis of AIH remains unclear.Inflammasomes are important components of innate immunity and are involved in a variety of pathophysiological processes.Studies have shown that inflammatory response associated with nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AIH,which mainly mediates the release of proinflammatory factors and pyroptosis,thereby participating in the pathophysiological process of AIH.Therefore,the development and progression of AIH can be delayed by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes,which provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AIH.

The incidence rate of drug-induced liver injury （DILI） is increasing year by year with unknown mechanisms， and the treatment methods for DILI mainly include drugs， liver support systems， and liver transplantation， all of which have certain limitations. Therefore， the search for safer and more effective treatment methods has become a research hotspot at present. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes can alleviate liver injury by reducing liver inflammation， promoting hepatocyte proliferation and regeneration， inhibiting the apoptosis of hepatocytes， improving oxidative stress， and regulating immunity. This article briefly reviews the role of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes in the treatment of DILI， so as to provide a reference for further research.

Programmed death-1 and programmed death-ligand 1(PD-1/PD-L1)are regulatory immune checkpoint molecules that inhibit T cell activation and,therefore,play an important role in tumor immunotherapy.In recent years,increasing numbers of targeted therapeutic agents have been developed,but single immune checkpoint blockers cannot completely inhibit tumor occurrence,and tumor escape sporadically occurs.Consequently,combination therapy of targeted drugs is considered a useful method to inhibit tumorigenesis and tumor development.T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif(ITIM)domain(TIGIT)is an inhibitory type 1 poliovirus receptor that has recently been a hotspot of targeted drug therapy research.It has been shown that the combination therapy of TIGIT plus PD-1/PD-L1 can reduce tumor escape and inhibit tumorigenesis more effectively.Therefore,this review summarizes and discusses the progress on the dual blockade of TIGIT and PD-1/PD-L1 pathways in tumor immunotherapy to provide a theoretical basis for tumor im-munotherapy.
