Abstract
Patients with cirrhosis are at a high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, it remains controversial about whether or not there is a high risk for non-hepatic cancers in patients with liver cirrhosis. Additionally, the management of non-hepatic cancers in cirrhotic patients is a clinical challenge, because the use of surgery and anticancer drugs is often compromised by the presence of liver dysfunction. This editorial aims to briefly summarize the findings on the risk and management of non-hepatic cancers in patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity in normal cells and organs triggers undesired lesions. Although targeted delivery is used extensively, more than half of the chemotherapy dose still concentrates in normal tissues, especially in the liver. Enabling normal cells or organs to defend against cytotoxicity represents an alternative method for improving chemotherapy. Herein, rationally designed nanomaterials are used as artificial organelles to remove unexpected cytotoxicity in normal cells. Nanocomposites of gold-oligonucleotides (Au-ODN) can capture intracytoplasmic doxorubicin (DOX), a standard chemotherapy drug, blocking the drug's access into the cell nucleus. Cells with implanted Au-ODN are more robust since their viability is maintained during DOX treatment. In vivo experiments confirm that the Au-ODN nanomaterials selectively concentrate in hepatocytes and eliminate DOX-induced hepatotoxicity, increasing the cell's capacity to resist the threatening chemotherapeutic milieu. The finding suggests that introducing functional materials as biological devices into living systems may be a new strategy for improving the regulation of cell fate in more complex conditions and for manufacturing super cells.

Abstract
Currently, scientists show keen interest in the drugs that inhibit multiple kinases, LDN193189, being an example. It combats certain cancers in vitro as well as in vivo, making it a prerequisite for researchers to study the toxic potential of this drug in animal models. As most of the drugs metabolized by liver cause hepatic injury, LDN193189-induced hepatotoxicity was examined using a teleost fish, Poecilia latipinna. As a prelude, calculation of LD50 showed a value of 95.22 mg/kg body weight and three doses were decided based on it for further evaluations. All these groups were tested for antioxidant enzyme levels and were significantly raised for mid- and high-dose group. Similar trend was recorded for ALP, AST, and ALT levels. Furthermore, some key indicators of drug metabolism in liver were tested for their expression in response to LDN193189 treatment. Among these, Cyt-C, CYP3A4, CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 were elevated in mid- and high dose, except CYP21A1, which declined remarkably. Moreover, histological profile of the liver reflected high degree of inflammation due to drug treatment, but this was found only at high dose. In summary, LDN193189, at 2.5 mg/kg body weight, did not cause any adverse hepatotoxicity, rendering it safe for use as an anti-proliferative agent - an activity for which it has already shown promising results in the same animal model. The low-dose group previously studied for its anti-proliferative property showed no adverse effect in liver, whereas the mid- and high dose induced moderate or severe hepatotoxicity in P. latipinna.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis, the end-stage of every chronic liver disease, is not only the major risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma but also a limiting factor for anticancer therapy of liver and non-hepatic malignancies. Liver cirrhosis may limit surgical and interventional approaches to cancer treatment, influence pharmacokinetics of anticancer drugs, increase side effects of chemotherapy, render patients susceptible for hepatotoxicity, and ultimately result in a competitive risk for morbidity and mortality. In this review, we provide a concise overview about the impact of liver cirrhosis on the management and prognosis of patients with primary liver cancer or non-hepatic malignancies.

Abstract
The rates of breast cancer mortality remain high in Brazil. Docetaxel is a semi-synthetic taxane used to treat various tumors, particularly tumors of the breast, lung and prostate. In this study ADR that occurred in 45 docetaxel users with breast cancer were surveyed. They were identified by type, causality (Naranjo algorithm and World Health Organization categories) and, if considered probable or defined, rated for severity according to SOBRAFO proposal (2007). A total of 325 ADR were observed: 165 in the first, 137 in the second and 23 in the third cycle. Fifty seven ADR were immediate and the others, late. Fatigue and exhaustion for more than five days, classified as Grade 3 by SOBRAFO (2007), were reported as the primary late RAM. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of immediate and late ADR between cycles (p=1 and p=0.3577, respectively). The presence of a pharmacist gave the patients a better understanding of the occurrence of RAM, especially those that occur outside the hospital, between chemotherapy cycles and are often not reported to the healthcare team, creating institutional demands and reaching the goal to track, observe and correlate the RAM for each user.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The juice of the entire fresh herb and infusion of dried sample of Murdannia bracteata are consumed to treat liver cancer and diabetes in Malaysia. However, no scientific evidence of these bioactivities has been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS To verify the therapeutic potentials of sequential extracts and infusion of this plant by determining its cytotoxicity against human liver carcinoma HepG2 cells and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The cytotoxic activities of the extracts against HepG2 were determined using a methylene blue assay, and an α-glucosidase inhibitory assay was used to assess anti-diabetic activity. The molecular basis of the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma activity of the most active extract was determined using RT-PCR. Chemical profiling of the most active extract was performed using GC-MS and UPLC analyses. RESULTS The results obtained from the cytotoxic screening revealed the dose-dependent growth inhibition of the HepG2 cells by only the hexane extract, with an EC50 value of 37.17±1.00 µg/ml. The HepG2 cell death was found to be apoptotic in nature and based on the significant biphasic induction of caspase-3, suggesting that the extract inhibited cell growth through a caspase-3-dependent pathway. The hexane extract also displayed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with an EC50 of 117.04±2.34 µg/ml. GC-MS analysis revealed that α-tocopherol was the major volatile compound in the hexane extract, and two phenolics (apigenin and caffeic acid derivatives) were detected using UPLC. CONCLUSIONS Based on various published reports, it could be suggested that α-tocopherol and apigenin derivatives might be involved in the apoptosis-based cytotoxicity of the active extract of this plant against HepG2 carcinoma cells. The effects of this plant in the treatment of diabetes can be related to the presence of α-glucosidase inhibitors, such as the caffeic acid derivative identified in the active extract.

Abstract
Clinical trials to date demonstrate that standard cancer treatments are currently the most efficient treatments for large numbers of cancer patients. Cancer treatments will increasingly require approaches that allow patients to live with cancer, by increasing their natural healing power and tumor immunity, as well as attenuating the progression of their cancers, instead of only attacking the cancer cells directly. Complementary and alternative medicine, including Kampo medicine, compensates for the drawbacks of western medicine by increasing patients' self-defense mechanisms. In Japan, clinicians who have studied both western medicine and Kampo treat cancer patients by fusing the two medical systems into a unitary one. The goal of the system is to assist the functional maintenance and recovery of the living body complex with the physical, mental, social, and spiritual balance, rather than addressing direct antitumor effects. In this review, we describe the usefulness of Kampo medicine, especially juzentaihoto, and outline the reports on evidence, in addition to the report on an attitudinal survey about the use of Kampo medicine in cancer treatment in Japan.

Abstract
The current standard treatment for cancer is a multidisciplinary therapy whereby various types of treatment are properly combined. Chemotherapy with multiple anticancer drugs is now common, and traditional, complementary, and alternative therapies are adopted as supportive measures. Medical care in Japan is distinguished by the ability for patients to access both Western and Kampo medical cares at the same time. There is a high degree of trust in the safety of Kampo therapies because they are practiced by medical doctors who are educated with fundamental diagnosis of Western medicine. Highly reliable clinical studies are being published, demonstrating that palliative or supportive care for cancer patients using Kampo preparations alleviates adverse effects of chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This paper reports the circumstances around cancer care in Japan where traditional therapeutic Kampo formulas are used for patients undergoing cancer treatment with cutting-edge chemotherapy, specifically to alleviate adverse effects of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Current key challenges and controversies encountered in the identification of potentially hepatotoxic drugs and the assessment of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are covered in this article. There is substantial debate over the classification of DILI itself, including the definition and validity of terms such as 'intrinsic' and 'idiosyncratic'. So-called idiosyncratic DILI is typically rare and requires one or more susceptibility factors in individuals. Consequently, it has been difficult to reproduce in animal models, which has limited the understanding of its underlying mechanisms despite numerous hypotheses. Advances in predictive models would also help to enable preclinical elimination of drug candidates and development of novel biomarkers. A small number of liver laboratory tests have been routinely used to help identify DILI, but their interpretation can be limited and confounded by multiple factors. Improved preclinical and clinical biomarkers are therefore needed to accurately detect early signals of liver injury, distinguish drug hepatotoxicity from other forms of liver injury, and differentiate mild from clinically important liver injury. A range of potentially useful biomarkers are emerging, although so far most have only been used preclinically, with only a few validated and used in the clinic for specific circumstances. Advances in the development of genomic biomarkers will improve the prediction and detection of hepatic injury in future. Establishing a definitive clinical diagnosis of DILI can be difficult, since it is based on circumstantial evidence by excluding other aetiologies and, when possible, identifying a drug-specific signature. DILI signals based on standard liver test abnormalities may be affected by underlying diseases such as hepatitis B and C, HIV and cancer, as well as the concomitant use of hepatotoxic drugs to treat some of these conditions. Therefore, a modified approach to DILI assessment is justified in these special populations and a suggested framework is presented that takes into account underlying disease when evaluating DILI signals in individuals. Detection of idiosyncratic DILI should, in some respects, be easier in the postmarketing setting compared with the clinical development programme, since there is a much larger and more varied patient population exposure over longer timeframes. However, postmarketing safety surveillance is currently limited by the quantity and quality of information available to make an accurate diagnosis, the lack of a control group and the rarity of cases. The pooling of multiple healthcare databases, which could potentially contain different types of patient data, is advised to address some of these deficiencies.

Abstract
Many studies have pinpointed the significant contribution of liver-mediated drug metabolism and transport to the complexity of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Phase I cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes can lead to altered drug metabolism and formation of toxic metabolites, whilst Phase II enzymes are also associated with DILI. The emerging role of hepatic transporters in regulating the movement of endogenous and exogenous chemicals (e.g., bile acids and drugs) across cellular and tissue membranes is critical in determining the pathophysiology of liver disease as well as drug toxicity and efficacy. Genetic and environmental factors can have a significant impact on drug metabolism and transporter proteins, consequently increasing the risk of DILI in susceptible individuals. The assessment of these factors therefore represents an important approach for predicting and preventing DILI, by better understanding the pharmacological profile of a specific drug. This review focuses on the mechanisms of DILI associated with drug metabolism and hepatic transport, and how they can be influenced by underlying factors.

Abstract
Previous cytotoxic (anticancer) evaluations of Elephantopus mollis were mainly focused on its elephantopin derivatives neglecting the combined effect of the phytochemicals in its traditionally used extracts. In this study, the cytotoxic mechanism of its extracts was investigated using methylene blue assay. The cytotoxic screening results revealed the ethyl acetate extract as the most potent extract by displaying prominent dose-dependent and time-dependent growth inhibitions in human liver carcinoma HepG2 cells with the lowest EC50 value of 9.38 ± 0.43 µg/mL after 72 hours of treatment. Acute exposure of the HepG2 cells to the ethyl acetate extract produced a significant regulation of caspase-3 with the peak expression at 8 hours of treatment ( P < .05). DNA fragmentation indicated by DeadEnd Apoptosis Detection System–labeled nuclei cells confirmed that the extract induced apoptotic cell death through caspase-3-dependent pathway in HepG2 cells.

Abstract
Capture Compound Mass Spectrometry (CCMS) is a platform technology for the functional isolation of subproteomes. Here we report the synthesis of two new kinase Capture Compounds (CCs) based on the tyrosine-kinase specific inhibitors dasatinib and imatinib and compare their interaction profiles to that of our previously reported staurosporine-CCs. CCs are tri-functional molecules: they comprise a sorting function (e.g. the small molecule or drug of interest) which interacts with target proteins, a photo-activatable reactivity function to covalently trap the interacting proteins, and a sorting function to isolate the CC-protein conjugates from complex biological samples for protein identification by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We present data of CCMS experiments from human HepG2 cells and compare the profiles of the kinases isolated with dasatinib, imatinib and staurosporine CC, respectively. Dasatinib and imatinib have a more selective kinase binding profile than staurosporine. Moreover, the new CCs allow isolation and identification of additional kinases, complementing the staurosporine CC. The family of kinase CCs will be a valuable tool for the proteomic profiling of this important protein class. Besides sets of expected kinases we identified additional specific interactors; these off-targets may be of relevance in the view of the pharmacological profile of dasatinib and imatinib.

Abstract
Liver transplant recipients are known to be at increased risk for the development of de novo neoplasms or the recurrence of preexisting malignancies, and this is possibly related to the use of immunosuppressive medication. Little is known about the effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy on graft function after transplantation. A retrospective chart and pathology database review was undertaken to identify post-liver transplant patients developing rejection during chemotherapy. All liver biopsies were reviewed by a hepatopathologist. Three patients were identified. All patients were diagnosed with cancer within 7 years of liver transplantation; two-thirds died soon after the diagnosis of malignancy. Rejection occurred soon after chemotherapy was started. All patients were receiving prednisone and tacrolimus (trough levels: 2.1-4.8 ng/mL). One patient developed plasma cell hepatitis (de novo autoimmune hepatitis). There was no histologic evidence of hepatotoxicity due to the chemotherapeutic agents. Cytotoxic chemotherapy should be used in liver transplant recipients with caution, and immunosuppressant doses should be maintained at therapeutic levels, as patients may be at risk for allograft rejection. Treatment of rejection or plasma cell hepatitis in this setting should be undertaken in a timely and aggressive fashion to prevent chronic ductopenic rejection.

Hepatic iron overload, a possible consequence of treatment with imatinib mesylate: a case report. CASES JOURNAL 2009; 2:7526.

Abstract
Imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor has revolutionized the therapy of Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia. Side effects of imatinib include grade 1-4 hepatotoxicity in a subset of patients. We report the case of a 46-year-old male with chronic myeloid leukemia, who developed hepatic hemosiderosis during treatment with imatinib. After ruling out the established congenital and acquired causes of hepatic hemosiderosis, we attribute this to a possible side effect of imatinib therapy. This condition was successfully treated with periodic phlebotomy thus precluding discontinuation of imatinib. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hepatic hemosiderosis most likely consequent to imatinib therapy.

Abstract
Cancer survivorship is an emerging area of scientific and clinical interest. Several decades ago, most people diagnosed with cancer did not live long beyond their initial diagnosis. Today the number of cancer survivors exceeds ten million, and this group may experience unique healthcare issues related to their cancer treatment. Chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy each have their own late and long-term complications. It is imperative for clinicians who are caring for cancer survivors to be aware of long-term complications of therapy and to treat these appropriately. When cancer therapy has successfully added years of life, it is equally as important that medical care assures the best quality of life during those years.

Abstract
More than 50% of cancer patients survive for more than 5 years, owing to modern and effective treatment. Therefore, long-term sequelae of treatment are more frequently seen than in the past. Such effects on normal tissue may both mimic and obscure tumor recurrences. Besides the direct consequences of surgery, tissue damage due to radiation or chemotherapy frequently cause problems in differential diagnosis. Among the numerous sequelae of radiotherapy, the most prominent are disturbance of the blood-brain barrier, radiation pneumonitis, osteodystrophy and osteoradionecrosis, fatty changes of bone marrow, or increased radiodensity of breast parenchyma. Chemotherapy may cause, e.g., diffuse abnormalities of white matter, pneumonitis and lung fibrosis, cardiomyopathy, or diffuse and patchy changes in bone marrow signals in MRI. The most devastating long-term complications are secondary cancers and leukemia induced by both radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Misconceptions surround the use of hepatotoxic drugs in chronic liver disease. While many prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) agents can be used safely, this often runs counter to labelled warnings/contraindications, especially for the statins and other commonly used agents. AIM To evaluate published data on the use of hepatotoxic drugs in chronic liver disease including pharmacokinetic changes in cirrhosis and drug interactions, where available, to formulate recommendations on their use. METHODS Using a combination of PubMed searches, review texts, the Physicians' Desk Reference and expert opinion, drugs considered at higher risk of hepatotoxicity in chronic liver disease were evaluated. RESULTS Most drugs and OTC products including herbals have not been formally studied in chronic liver disease, but available data suggest that several of the most commonly used agents, especially the statins, can be used safely. While there is an increased risk of drug-induced liver injury for drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis and HIV patients with hepatitis B or C, recommendations for their safe use are emerging. CONCLUSIONS Although many clinicians remain hesitant to use hepatotoxic drugs in chronic liver disease, the database supporting this view is limited to just a few agents. Most medications can be used safely in patients with chronic liver disease with appropriate monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute liver failure remains a unique syndrome that results from massive loss of hepatocytes or hepatocyte function due to a variety of etiologies: viruses, drugs, toxins and other genetic and autoimmune conditions. The resulting clinical picture is remarkably similar across the different etiologies, reflecting common patterns of response of the innate immune system and the resulting inflammatory response. This review highlights developments in the delineation of etiologies of this relatively rare condition. RECENT FINDINGS The contribution of different etiologies to the overall picture varies by country. Europe and North America demonstrate a large proportion of cases due to acetaminophen and to idiosyncratic drug reactions, whereas reports from emerging countries in Asia and Africa are more likely to feature viral illnesses, particularly hepatitis B and E. Recent studies have suggested ever more exotic etiologies, new drugs and viruses. SUMMARY A careful search for the cause of acute liver failure in each case is of value in determining whether there are specific antidotes available and what the prognosis might be.
