background percutaneous liver biopsy is one of the most important and widely used methods for diagnosing chronic liver diseases; however, controversies related to the potential risk of complications and patient discomfort still exist. objectives the objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and success rate of blind percutaneous liver biopsy. patients and methods we conducted a retrosp...

  SUMMARY Scolicidal agents are used by most surgeons during operations for hydatid cysts when these agents are injected into the cys t cavity, they can pass through the communicating passages between the cyst and bile ducts into the large intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts and because of their caustic nature, they have the potential to damage the epithelium of ducts. This epithelial da...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic liver diseases are characterized by inflammatory and fibrotic liver injuries that often result in liver cirrhosis with its associated complications such as portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver biopsy still represents the reference standard for fibrosis staging, although transient elastography is increasingly used for non-invasive monitoring of fibr...

BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis C (CH) can develop into liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver fibrosis and HCC development are strongly correlated, but there is no effective treatment against fibrosis because the critical mechanism of progression of liver fibrosis is not fully understood. microRNAs (miRNAs) are now essential to the molecular mechanisms of several biologica...

The present study determined the regenerative effect of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) on thioacetamide (TA)-induced liver fibrosis in rats. A total of 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham control and treatment groups. The rats of the sham control group were subdivided into three groups and sampled on the 14th, 18th, and 20th weeks after fibrosis induction. The rats of th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Currently, there is no effective therapy available for liver fibrosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of renin angiotensin system inhibitors on liver fibrosis. METHOD Full-text randomized controlled trials in patients with liver fibrosis were identified and included in the meta-analysis. The primary outcome measure was the histological fibrosis score of the ...

Background: non-invasive method, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the liver fibrosis index (LFI), assessment of liver fibrosis has been one of major objectives in the society of hepatologists. Aim: To explore the variable characteristics of ADC and the LFI in different stages of liver fibrosis in rats and to compare their performance in staging liver fibrosis. Methods: Liver fibrosis mo...

AIM To investigate the diagnostic performance of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by elastography point quantification (ElastPQ) in animal models and determine the longitudinal changes in liver stiffness by ElastPQ after splenectomy at different stages of fibrosis. METHODS Liver stiffness was measured in sixty-eight rabbits with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis at different stages and eight healt...
