Objective: The aim of this study was to find out if the process hepatic fibrosis due hepatitis B and C accentuates development lungs. Method: Cases with histories parenchymal biopsies were scanned retrospectively, which had been biopsied diagnoses. Among these patients, those who undergone a computed tomographic (CT) examination chest during year following biopsy procedure investigated for sign...

objective(s):fuzheng huayu recipe (fzhy) exerts significant protective effects against liver fibrosis by strengthening the body’s resistance and removing blood stasis. however, the molecular mechanisms through which fzhy affects liver fibrosis are still unclear. in this study, we examined the expression levels of factors involved in the inhibitor κb kinase-β (ikk-β)/nuclear factor-κb (nf-κb) an...

Chronic liver disease is a progressive deterioration of hepatic functions and continuous process inflammation, destruction, regeneration parenchyma, resulting in fibrosis cirrhosis [...]

Hepatic fibrosis is a reversible pathological process, in which fibrotic tissue is excessively deposited in the liver during the repair process that follows hepatic injury. Early prevention or treatment of hepatic fibrosis has great significance on the treatment of chronic hepatic diseases. Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) is a water-soluble monomer extracted from safflower, which serves numerous...

The Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index could indicate the liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatic diseases. It was calculated using following formula: (age × aspartate aminotransferase [U/L]) / (platelet count [103/μL] √alanine [U/L]). However, clinical impact of FIB4 acute phase heart failure (AHF) has not been sufficiently investigated.

Hepatic fibrosis is commonly diagnosed in dogs, often as a sequela to chronic hepatitis (CH). The development of fibrosis is a crucial event in the progression of hepatic disease that is of prognostic value. The pathophysiology of hepatic fibrosis in human patients and rodent models has been studied extensively. Although less is known about this process in dogs, evidence suggests that fibrogeni...
