Hepatic artery aneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening entity. We report a case of ruptured common hepatic artery aneurysm in a patient with Behçet's disease. The ruptured aneurysm was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial coil embolization. Transcatheter arterial embolization is the preferred treatment modality in patients at high risk of surgical intervention.

background adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (at-mscs) are suitable choices in treatment of liver associated diseases. dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) is an amphipathic molecule with potential of delivering both lipophilic and hydrophilic agents into cells. few protocols used dmso for induction of at-mscs towards hepatocyte like cells but the effect of dmso on hepatogenic differentiation were not...

hepatic artery aneurysms are a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage and may represent significant problems in both diagnosis and management. we report a 70 year old patient with gastrointestinal bleeding from a fistula between a 7 cm hepatic artery aneurysm and the duodenum. he underwent successful surgical management with endoaneurysmorrhaphy and duodenal wall repair.

hepatic and renal contents of essential trace elements provide good clues to monitor the nutritional status of grazing animals. liver and kidney samples were collected from 60 sheep and 60 goats slaughtered in zarrinshahr abattoirs and analyzed for essential trace elements. hepatic fe concentrations were significantly higher in sheep than goats. there were also higher renal and hepatic fe conce...

Introduction and Objective: liver is an important body organ without which life is impossible. Cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent widely used as an anti-cancer (“antineoplastic” or “cytotoxic”) chemotherapy drug. The present study aimed to find a suitable antioxidant and examine the effect of vitamin E and selenium on reducing the side effects of cyclophosphamide on liver as a vit...

Hepatic herniation through an abdominal incisional hernia is extremely rare phenomenon that has been reported in the medical literature few case reports. It associated with complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and Budd-Chiari syndrome. Most cases can be managed conservatively observation, but many require surgical intervention to preserve liver function. Our a 61-year-old female who pre...

An aborted female Holstein foetus with marked generalized anasarca was referred to the Excellence Centre for Ruminant Abortion and Neonatal Mortality, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. On postmortem examination, red-tinged ascites, pale and firm liver with extreme irregularity and numerous round to oval slightly raised foci on the capsular surface were seen. Histological examination revealed wide...

Objective(s): Weight gain and metabolic disturbances such as dyslipidemia, are frequent side effects of second-generation antipsychotics, including olanzapine. This study examined the metabolic effects of chronic olanzapine exposure. In addition, we investigated the hepatic fatty acid effects of olanzapine in female C57BL/6J mice fed a normal diet.Materials and Methods: Female C57BL/6J mice ora...

Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is interrelated to oxidative stress-induced diseases. According to the role of dietary antioxidants in control and prevention of diabetes, this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of green tea extract on serum glucose levels and serum and hepatic total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and lipid (MDA) in diabetic rats. Experimental diabetes...
