Acute and chronic liver injury results in hepatocyte death and turnover. If injury becomes chronic, the continuous cell death and turnover leads to chronic inflammation, fibrosis and ultimately cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Controlling liver cell death both in acute injury, to rescue the liver from acute liver failure, and in chronic injury, to curb secondary inflammation and fibrosis...

Congenital herniation of the liver through chest wall associated with deformity is an extremely rare clinical observation. There are only a few reports intercostal Poland syndrome, which characterized by hypoplastic unilateral structures. We present case neonate mass drooping defect in left side diaphragmatic eventration. The patient demonstrated left-sided pectoralis musculature and ipsilatera...

Necrosis of the skin was produced by the injection of measured quantities of electrolytes and of amino compounds into the dermis, and the relative ability of these substances to produce it was determined. Inflammation characterized by edema and accumulation of leucocytes accompanied necrosis. The ability of electrolytes to produce necrosis was found to increase with the valence of their basic i...

background: recent studies demonstrated that resveratrol has many therapeutic effects on liver disorders. resveratrol significantly increased survival after liver transplantation, decreased fat deposition, necrosis, and apoptosis which induced by ischemia in wistar rats. it provided liver protection against chemical, cholestatic, and alcohol injury. resveratrol can improve glucose metabolism an...

Rat-liver slices lose potassiumwhenplaced in cold saline solution and reaccumulate potassium when placed in warm oxygenated Ringer solution (McLean, 1963). Weanling rats fed on a yeast diet which is deficient in vitamin E and selenium suffer acute liver necrosis at 17 ± 4 days after starting to eat the diet. Liver slices taken from rats given this diet for 7 days or more cannot reaccumulate pot...

Six of the first 85 patients who received the first 100 liver transplantations carried out in Birmingham developed a syndrome of fulminant liver failure with distinctive clinical and pathological features. The typical clinical presentation was of an uneventual initial postoperative period, followed by a sudden deterioration in graft function, progressing rapidly to graft failure. All six patien...

Diet exerts a profound influence upon the toxicity (tested in the omnivorous white rat) of certain substances, namely, chloroform, phosphorus, potassium chromate, and uranium nitrate, which cause necrosis of the parenchymatous cells of the liver or of the kidney. Susceptibility to intoxication with all of these substances is less after a diet rich in carbohydrate than after a diet consisting of...

BACKGROUND Transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) is frequently used to obtain liver specimens in high-risk patients. However, TJLB sample size possibly limits their clinical relevance. METHODS 102 patients that underwent TJLB were included. Clinical parameters and outcome of TJLB were analyzed. Control samples consisted of 112 minilaparoscopic liver biopsies (mLLBs) and 100 percutaneous liver biop...

The article presents the results of a review publications devoted to study problems drug-induced liver damage in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). hepatotoxic effect thiopurines (azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine) — hepatotoxicity from 0% 17%; sulfasalazine mesalamine (hepatotoxicity 4%); methotrexate 15% 50%); tumor necrosis factor inhibitors up 75% cases.), anti-integrins 2% 5%); an interleu...
