Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term efficacy of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and adenosylmethionine butanedisulfonate combination in treatment of patients with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and serum heme monooxygenase 1(HO-1), nuclear factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf-2) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) level changes.Methods 78 patients with DILI were enrolled in this study between January 2018 and December 2019, and were randomly divided into control and combination groups, with 39 cases in each group. The patients in control group received intravenous infusion of adenosylmethionine butanedisulfonate, and those in the combination received intravenous infusion of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate at the base of medicine in the control for two weeks. Serum Nrf-2, TNF-α, IL-10, NO, NOS, HO-1, GSH-Px and macrophage dectected.Results At the end two week migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were of treatment, serum alanine aminotransaminase level in the combination group was (65.9±7.7)U/L, serum AST level was (58.5±7.3)U/L, and serum total bilirubin level was (20.5±5.3)μmol/L, all significantly lower than 【(93.5±11.2)U/L, (91.3±10.8)U/L and (25.2±7.9)μmol/L, respectively, P<0.05】 in the control; serum NOS level was (47.7±5.8)U/mg, and serum GSH-Px level was (0.8±0.1)ng/mL, both significantly higher than 【(38.5±5.6)U/mg and (0.5±0.1)U/mg, respectively, P<0.05】, while serum HO-1 level was (0.4±0.1)ng/mL, and serum Nrf-2 level was (0.5±0.1)ng/mL, both significantly lower than 【(0.7±0.1)ng/mL and (0.8±0.1)U/mg, respectively, P<0.05】 in the control; serum TNF-α level was (3.0±0.5)ng/mL, and serum MIF level was (8.9±1.1)ng/mL, significantly lower than 【(4.2±0.6)ng/mL and (11.4±1.5)ng/mL, respectively, P<0.05】, while serum IL-10 level was (33.1±4.4)pg/mL, and serum NO level was (66.5±7.3)μmol/L, significantly higher than 【(22.5±2.9)pg/mL and (41.1±5.6)μmol/L, respectively, P<0.05】 in the control. Conclusion The magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate and adenosylmethionine butanedisulfonate combination in the treatment of patients with DILI have a short-term efficacy, which might be related to the inhibition of inflammatory and oxidative stress reactions, and needs further clinical investigation.
