Autoimmune hepatitis triggered by nitrofurantoin: a case series

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Drugs can occasionally trigger the onset of autoimmune liver disease.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>Three Caucasian women (aged 65, 42 and 74 years old) who were receiving long-term nitrofurantoin as prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infections developed hepatitic liver disease. Serological auto-antibody profiles and liver histology appearances were consistent with autoimmune hepatitis. Two of the patients presented with jaundice, and one required a prolonged hospital admission for liver failure. In all three patients nitrofurantoin was withdrawn, and long-term immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone and azathioprine or mycophenolate was given. The patients responded well, with liver biochemistry returning to normal within a few months.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Although nitrofurantoin rarely causes autoimmune hepatitis, this antimicrobial is increasingly used as long-term prophylaxis against recurrent urinary tract infection. General practitioners and urologists who prescribe long-term nitrofurantoin therapy should be aware of this adverse effect.</p

Self-assembly of actin scaffolds on lipid microbubbles

Microbubbles offer unique properties as combined carriers of therapeutic payloads and diagnostic agents. Here we report on the development of novel microbubble architectures that in addition to the usual lipid shell have an actin cytoskeletal cortex assembled on their exterior. We show, using atomic force microscopy that this biomimetic coating creates a thin mesh that allows tuning of the mechanical properties of microbubbles and that the nature of actin assembly is determined by the fluidity of the lipid layer. Further, we show that it is possible to attach payloads and targeting-ligands to the actin scaffold. Resistance to gas permeation showed that the additional actin layer reduces gas diffusion across the shell and thus increases bubble lifetime. This study demonstrates a one step method to creating more complex microbubble architectures, which would be capable of further modification and tuning through the inclusion of actin binding proteins
