Abstract
Ammonia is a major player in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and affects astrocyte function by triggering a self-amplifying cycle between osmotic and oxidative stress. We recently demonstrated that hypoosmotic astrocyte swelling rapidly stimulates nitric oxide (NO) production and increases intracellular free Zn(2+) concentration ([Zn(2+)](i)). Here we report effects of ammonia on [Zn(2+)](i) homeostasis and NO synthesis. In cultured rat astrocytes, NH(4)Cl (5 mm) increased within 6 h both cytosolic and mitochondrial [Zn(2+)]. The [Zn(2+)](i) increase was transient and was mimicked by the nonmetabolizable CH(3)NH(3)Cl, and it was dependent on NO formation, as evidenced by the sensitivity toward the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine. The NH(4)Cl-induced NO formation was sensitive to the Ca(2+) chelator 1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl) ester and increases in both NO and [Zn(2+)](i) were blocked by the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801. The NH(4)Cl-triggered increase in [Zn(2+)](i) was followed by a Zn(2+)-dependent nuclear appearance of the metal response element-binding transcription factor and metallothionein messenger RNA (mRNA) induction. Metallothionein mRNA was also increased in vivo in rat cerebral cortex 6 h after an NH(4)Ac challenge. NH(4)Cl increased peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) protein expression, whereas PBR mRNA levels were decreased in a Zn(2+)-independent manner. The Zn(2+)-dependent upregulation of metallothionein following ammonia intoxication may reflect a cytoprotective response, whereas the increase in PBR expression may augment HE development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Clinical investigations in acute liver failure (ALF) continue to advance our understanding and capacity to diagnose and treat afflicted children and adults. The purpose of this review is to summarize the advances in clinical research in ALF during 2009-2010 that are pertinent to hepatologists and transplant surgeons caring for these critically ill patients. RECENT FINDINGS Principal advances occurred in the characterization of cause and epidemiology, genetic susceptibility, assessment of prognosis for survival with medical therapy, clarification of long-term outcomes of transplantation for ALF, and publication of the final results of large randomized, placebo-controlled therapeutic trials. SUMMARY Despite advances in our understanding, ALF remains a cause of significant mortality in children and adults because of the absence of curative medical therapy. Hence, only emergency liver transplantation is reliably life-saving. There is an urgent need for better understanding of the pathogenesis of ALF caused by different causes, of genetic susceptibility, development of validated prognostic indicators and application of this knowledge to devise new therapeutic strategies for testing in appropriately powered, randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
It is increasingly evident that neuroinflammatory mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of the central nervous system (CNS) complications (intracranial hypertension, brain herniation) of acute liver failure (ALF). Neuroinflammation in ALF is characterized by microglial activation and arterio-venous difference studies as well as studies of gene expression confirm local brain production and release of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and the interleukins IL-1β and IL-6. Although the precise nature of the glial cell responsible for brain cytokine synthesis is not yet established, evidence to date supports a role for both astrocytes and microglia. The neuroinflammatory response in ALF progresses in parallel with the progression of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and with the severity of brain edema (astrocyte swelling). Mechanisms responsible for the relaying of signals from the failing liver to the brain include transduction of systemic proinflammatory signals as well as the effects of increased brain lactate leading to increased release of cytokines from both astrocytes and microglia. There is evidence in support of a synergistic effect of proinflammatory cytokines and ammonia in the pathogenesis of HE and brain edema in ALF. Therapeutic implications of the findings of a neuroinflammatory response in ALF are multiple. Removal of both ammonia and proinflammatory cytokines is possible using antibiotics or albumen dialysis. Mild hypothermia reduces brain ammonia transfer, brain lactate production, microglial activation and proinflammatory cytokine production resulting in reduced brain edema and intracranial pressure in ALF. N-Acetylcysteine acts as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent at both peripheral and central sites of action independently resulting in slowing of HE progression and prevention of brain edema. Novel treatments that directly target the neuroinflammatory response in ALF include the use of etanercept, a TNF-α neutralizing molecule and minocycline, an agent with potent inhibitory actions on microglial activation that are independent of its antimicrobial properties; both agents have been shown to be effective in reducing neuroinflammation and in preventing the CNS complications of ALF. Translation of these findings to the clinic has the potential to provide rational targeted approaches to the prevention and treatment of these complications in the near future.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate prevents seizures in patients with eclampsia and brain edema after traumatic brain injury. Neuroprotection is achieved by controlling cerebral blood flow (CBF), intracranial pressure, neuronal glutamate release, and aquaporin-4 (Aqp4) expression. These factors are also thought to be involved in the development of brain edema in acute liver failure. We wanted to study whether hypermagnesemia prevented development of intracranial hypertension and hyperperfusion in a rat model of portacaval anastomosis (PCA) and acute hyperammonemia. We also studied whether hypermagnesemia had an influence on brain content of glutamate, glutamine, and aquaporin-4 expression. The study consisted of three experiments: The first was a dose-finding study of four different dosing regimens of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in healthy rats. The second involved four groups of PCA rats receiving ammonia infusion/vehicle and MgSO4) /saline. The effect of MgSO(4) on mean arterial pressure (MAP), intracranial pressure (ICP), CBF, cerebral glutamate and glutamine, and aquaporin-4 expression was studied. Finally, the effect of MgSO4 on MAP, ICP, and CBF was studied, using two supplementary dosing regimens. In the second experiment, we found that hypermagnesemia and hyperammonemia were associated with a significantly higher CBF (P < 0.05, two-way analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Hypermagnesemia did not lead to a reduction in ICP and did not affect the brain content of glutamate, glutamine, or Aqp-4 expression. In the third experiment, we achieved higher P-Mg but this did not lead to a significant reduction in ICP or CBF. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that hypermagnesemia does not prevent intracranial hypertension and aggravates cerebral hyperperfusion in rats with PCA and hyperammonemia.

Abstract
One of the most serious complications of chronic or fulminant liver failure is hepatic encephalopathy (HE), associated most commonly with cirrhosis. In the presence of chronic liver disease, HE is a sign of decompensation, while in fulminant liver failure its development represents a worrying sign and usually indicates that transplantation will be required. Despite the significance of HE in the course of liver disease, the progress in development of new therapeutic options has been unremarkable over the last 20 years. An up-to-date review regarding HE, including both research and review articles. HE is a serious and progressive, but potentially reversible, disorder with a wide spectrum of neuropsychiatric abnormalities and motor disturbances that ranges from mild alteration of cognitive and motor function to coma and death. Although a clear pathogenesis is yet to be determined, elevated ammonia in serum and the central nervous system is the mainstay for pathogenesis and treatment of HE. Management includes early diagnosis and prompt treatment of precipitating factors. Clinical trials and extensive clinical experience have established the efficacy of diverse substances in HE treatment. Novel therapies with clinical promise include: L-ornithine L-aspartate, sodium benzoate, phenylacetate, AST-120, and the molecular adsorbent recirculating system. Eventually, liver transplantation is often the most successful long-term therapy for HE.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate glucose homeostasis and in particular gluconeogenesis in a large animal model of acute liver failure (ALF).
METHODS: Six pigs with paracetamol induced ALF under general anaesthesia were studied over 25 h. Plasma samples were withdrawn every five hours from a central vein. Three animals were used as controls and were maintained under anaesthesia only. Using 1H NMR spectroscopy we identified most gluconeogenic amino acids along with lactate and pyruvate in the animal plasma samples.
RESULTS: No significant changes were observed in the concentrations of the amino acids studied in the animals maintained under anaesthesia only. If we look at the ALF animals, we observed a statistically significant rise of lactate (P < 0.003) and pyruvate (P < 0.018) at the end of the experiments. We also observed statistically significant rises in the concentrations of alanine (P < 0.002), glycine (P < 0.005), threonine (P < 0.048), tyrosine (P < 0.000), phenylalanine (P < 0.000) and isoleucine (P < 0.01). Valine levels decreased significantly (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Our pig model of ALF is characterized by an altered gluconeogenetic capacity, an impaired tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and a glycolytic state.

Abstract
Acute liver failure is an uncommon condition associated with multi organ involvement, high morbidity and mortality. Etiology of acute liver failure varies with age and geographical location. Most cases of acute liver failure in India are due to infectious causes predominantly viral hepatitis. A significant group with indeterminate causation remains, despite careful investigation. The etiology of acute liver failure in infants is largely metabolic. The mainstay of management is supportive care in an intensive care unit. Monitoring of clinical and biochemical parameters is done frequently until the patient becomes stable. Mortality is predominantly due to raised intracranial pressure, infections and multi-organ failure. Liver transplant is an important life saving procedure for children with acute liver failure.

Abstract
The face of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is changing. This review explores how this neurocognitive disorder, which is associated with both acute and chronic liver injury, has grown to become a dynamic syndrome that spans a spectrum of neuropsychological impairment, from normal performance to coma. The central role of ammonia in the pathogenesis of HE remains incontrovertible. However, over the past 10 years, the HE community has begun to characterise the key roles of inflammation, infection, and oxidative/nitrosative stress in modulating the pathophysiological effects of ammonia on the astrocyte. This review explores the current thoughts and evidence base in this area and discusses the potential role of existing and novel therapies that might abrogate the oxidative and nitrosative stresses inflicted on the brain in patients with, or at risk of developing, HE.

Abstract
Acute liver failure is a rare disorder with high mortality and resource cost. In the developing world, viral causes predominate, with hepatitis E infection recognised as a common cause in many countries. In the USA and much of western Europe, the incidence of virally induced disease has declined substantially in the past few years, with most cases now arising from drug-induced liver injury, often from paracetamol. However, a large proportion of cases are of unknown origin. Acute liver failure can be associated with rapidly progressive multiorgan failure and devastating complications; however, outcomes have been improved by use of emergency liver transplantation. An evidence base for practice is emerging for supportive care, and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder, especially in relation to hepatic encephalopathy, will probably soon lead to further improvements in survival rates.

Abstract
Hypoxic hepatitis (HH), also known as ischemic hepatitis or shock liver, is characterized by centrilobular liver cell necrosis and sharply increasing serum aminotransferase levels in a clinical setting of cardiac, circulatory or respiratory failure. Nowadays it is recognized as the most frequent cause of acute liver injury with a reported prevalence of up to 10% in the intensive care unit. Patients with HH and vasopressor therapy have a significantly increased mortality risk in the medical intensive care unit population. The main underlying conditions contributing to HH are low cardiac output and septic shock, although a multifactorial etiology is found in the majority of patients. HH causes several complications such as spontaneous hypoglycemia, respiratory insufficiency due to the hepatopulmonary syndrome, and hyperammonemia. HH reverses after successful treatment of the basic HH-causing disease. No specific therapies improving the hepatic function in patients with HH are currently established. Early recognition of HH and its underlying diseases and subsequent initiation of therapy is of central prognostic importance. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic and therapeutic options of HH.

Abstract
Type-C hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe complication of cirrhosis, which seriously affects quality of life and is strongly related to patient survival. Treatment based on a classical pharmacological approach that is aimed at reducing the production of gut-derived toxins, such as ammonia, is still under debate. Currently, results obtained from clinical trials do not support any specific treatment for HE and our competence in testing old and new treatment modalities by randomized controlled trials with appropriate clinically relevant end-points urgently needs to be improved. On the other hand, patients who are at risk for HE are now identifiable, based on studies on the natural history of the disease. Today, very few studies that are specifically aimed at establishing whether HE may be prevented are available or in progress. Recent studies have looked at non absorbable disaccharides or antibiotics and other treatment modalities, such as the modulation of intestinal flora. In the treatment of severe stage HE, artificial liver supports have been tested with initial positive results but more studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute liver failure is a devastating clinical syndrome with a persistently high mortality rate despite critical care advances. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a life-saving treatment in selected cases, but effective use of this limited resource requires accurate prognostication because of surgical risks and the requirement for subsequent life-long immunosuppression. AIM To review the aetiology of acute liver failure, discuss the evidence behind critical care management strategies and examine potential treatment alternatives to OLT. METHODS Literature review using Ovid, PubMed and recent conference abstracts. RESULTS Paracetamol remains the most common aetiology of acute liver failure in developed countries, whereas acute viral aetiologies predominate elsewhere. Cerebral oedema is a major cause of death, and its prevention and prompt recognition are vital components of critical care support, which strives to provide multiorgan support and 'buy time' to permit either organ regeneration or psychological and physical assessment prior to acquisition of a donor organ. Artificial liver support systems do not improve mortality in acute liver failure, whilst most other interventions have limited evidence bases to support their use. CONCLUSION Acute liver failure remains a truly challenging condition to manage, and requires early recognition and transfer of patients to specialist centres providing intensive, multidisciplinary input and, in some cases, OLT.
