Ultrastructural liver changes in the experimental thyrotoxicosis

Electromyographic changes in thyrotoxicosis.

OBJECTIVE To document electromyographic (EMG) changes in thyrotoxic patients, and to categorize the type of myopathic process in thyrotoxicosis. METHODS This case control study was designed to show the EMG changes in thyrotoxic patients and to compare these findings with that of normal aged matched controls to show the significance of these changes in thyrotoxic patients. Student`s test was a...

Ultrastructural changes in the liver after experimental spinal cord injury in rats: effects of methylprednisolone, immunoglobulin g and albumin.

AIM Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is routinely treated with standardized methyl prednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) dose, so it is reassuring to find its effects on liver. We also evaluated the effects of albumin and immunoglobulin G (Ig G) therapies on liver if they are used in case of experimental SCI. MATERIAL AND METHODS The rats were allocated into six groups as control, trauma, vehicle, MPS...

Ultrastructural Changes of Hepatic Stellate Cells in the Space of Disse in Alcoholic Fatty Liver

BACKGROUND Hepatic stellate cell (HSC) has been suggested to play a role in fibrogenesis in alcoholic liver disease. We evaluate the correlation with fibrogenesis and ultrastructure of hepatic stellate cells in alcoholic fatty liver. METHODS We studied 6 patients with alcoholic fatty liver and 5 non-alcoholic fatty liver. The numbers of fat droplets in hepatic stellate cell was determined by ...

Hematogenous metastasis of Yoshida ascites Hepatoma in the chick embryo liver: ultrastructural changes in tumor cells.

Ultrastructural and cytochemical changes in the liver of primary biliary cirrhosis patients.

The aim of this paper is to establish whether there are cytochemical or ultrastructural alterations in the hepatocytes of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) at stages I and II compared with the biopsies from individuals with normal liver. Cytochemical technique with ATP as substrate, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and freeze fracture were used for the studies. In the normal l...
