Abstract Fibrosis is defined as a consequence of the abnormal wound-healing response lading to excessive deposition extracellular matrix components. Chronic liver diseases accompanied with fibrosis have caused increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) thioacetamide (TAA) are well-known toxins used induce in murine. Compared CCl 4, TAA displays longer latency betw...

A series of 5-(pyridin-4-yl)-3-thioacetamide-1,2,4-triazoles (4a-o), was synthesized, characterized and evaluated for screening antibacterial and antifungal activities on microorganisms, respectively on five bacteria and and candida tropicalis. The structures of original compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic (FT-IR, H NMR and C NMR) methods and elemental analysis. Both the an...

We successfully demonstrate the first solid-state sensor to have reliable responses to breath ammonia of rat. For thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatopathy rats, we observe that the proposed sensor can detect liver that undergoes acute-moderate hepatopathy with a p-value less than 0.05. The proposed sensor is an organic diode with vertical nanojunctions produced by using low-cost colloidal lithog...
